Signature Smiles

As a Heights resident myself, I chose Signature Smiles because of its proximity to my house and it’s 100+ good ratings. I had an inkling that I had a tooth that needed to be extracted and they were a quick zip away to get an opinion. So when the doctor did in fact confirm that I needed to get my tooth removed, I did a little more research on them and ultimately decided to return for the procedure solely because of Dr. Ilustre. I’m a HUGE wimp and knew I would need to be knocked out to go through with this. His background and experience in sedation/​anesthesiology impressed me, and having had a bad experience with sedation in the past, I felt confident that I would be in good hands.
This man is THOROUGH y’all. No joke. And very accommodating. He went through every last detail with me and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Again, I’m a big baby when it comes to these things and my anxiety was throuugghh the roof… Needless to say, my procedure went smoothly and he provided ample pain medication (and lots of post-​op instructions!) to help me recover as quickly as possible. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Thanks again, Doc!

I went in as a walk-​in and the front receptionist was very professional. The Wait time was no more than 10mins until I was seen by a dental assistant and put into a room. The dr and assistants I was helped by were also very welcoming and professional. The Entire office was clean and the prices were very fair.

Dr. Terry Lee is an amazing dentist, my 5 year old loves going there! Highly recommend to everyone! Such friendly staff, Laura is always there to answer all my questions.

Visited first time on an early Saturday for an emergency nerve pain. They accommodated us efficiently. Dr Lee and staff are very nice. Then, we had a root canal done on my 10-​year old boy by Dr Howell. Had a filling done by Dr Lee. Great job! A very wonderful experience! It’s our family dental place now!

My family and I just recently moved to the Houston area and I began looking for a dentist right away because my wisdom teeth were bothering me. I am so lucky to have found Signature Smiles. Their office is clean and the atmosphere is nice. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I like that they have a little theater room/​waiting room for the kids. My children love coming with me to the dentist office even when I’m the one with the appt and not them — just because they enjoy the theater room. Signature Smiles is located a bit further from where I live but it is totally worth the drive and I’ll explain why. As it turned out my wisdom teeth were impacted and so I had to have all four removed. Dr. Joseph Ilustre (the dental anesthesiologist) explained to me thoroughly what needed to be done. I have to say, the thought of having all four teeth removed at once made me really nervous but Dr. Ilustre did an amazing job. I was very nervous before the procedure but he and the dental assistant Dalia did their best to keep me calm, relaxed and comfortable. Dr. Ilustre did such an amazing job that I wasn’t in any pain after the procedure nor during the healing process. I never once needed to take any pain medication.
I used to get nervous every time I had a dentist appointment but not now that I have Dr. Ilustre as my dentist.
To all those in need of a good dentist, I would highly recommend Dr. Ilustre. He gets two thumbs up from me.

I went to Signature Smiles because of the previous reviews on Unilocal… needless to say I wasn’t happy when I left. Yes they have a nice presentation for kids and yes they have some modern equipment that my daughters were happy with like the xray machine… but I didn’t think they would traumatize my teenager. They said she had several cavities, which we knew, but they said she would be ok to take care of ALL her mouth in one visit so we trusted them. Well my daughter said she was in so much pain during the process and she said they were rough and scared her. After she was done she felt so sick from all the shots they put in her mouth we had to stop twice so she can vomit on the way home. Never going back.

I have to share my experience because what happened is serious.
I went last week to Signature Smiles for an annual check-​up and cleaning. The same day and the day after I was feeling a pain but I didn’t go back because I thought that my sensitive gum was hurting after the cleaning and that it was normal (although the woman who did it was extremely rude, even though she knew the sensibility of my gum). During the weekend, my pain was so big that I could not do anything and could not even sleep more than 3 hours.
On Monday, I went back there and was told that I have a gum infection and they had to cut my gum to make a drainage. This experience was the worst I have experienced (and I had once a toothache so I know what I am talking about). Even under anesthesia, that was still extremely painful during the drainage.
Now I am taking antibiotics, my cheek is swollen, and I still don’t understand how you can go to the dentist with no pain (although sensitive gum) and get out with an infection. This was traumatic.
Having said that, the Dr Rajesh did a good job with the drainage.

A dentist is a dentist is a dentist.
Right?
NO!
I have been blessed with good teeth and gums and have learned over the years to take care of them so they stay that way. Therefore I have had limited experience outside of the twice annual checkups and am happy for that.
However the little work I have had done over the decades was a mixed bag of satisfied and not, until my wife suggested we try Signature Smiles (ALWAYS listen to the wife, yes?)
we have been here 2 years and have been very happy with the dentist, the hygienist, the staff at the front desk. Unusual I cannot find anything to be less than pleased with at a business but they have done it!
I see a lot of kids there, but they have a video waiting room for them separate from grouchy old men — which is the section I am happy waiting in.
Most professional, pleasant, and REASONABLY PRICED!

Came here for the first time after not seeing a dentist in 8+ years. Estelle (Estella? I hope I spelled it right) took my x-​rays. She was very understanding and friendly, and my experience with her set a good tone for the rest of the appointment. Jonathan was my hygienist, he came across as friendly and knowledgeable, and really helped me calm my anxiety about the whole thing. The dentist I saw was Dr. Yeh for this appointment, though Dr. Ameen will be doing the rest of my work due to schedule constraints. I like both of the dentists I met today.
I have to get significant work done before the end of the year, and I’m glad I found an office I feel comfortable at to get it done. Yes, the office atmosphere is primarily geared towards children, but the staff is great for adults too and they let you pick your own Pandora station so you don’t feel like you’re in the wrong place. I’ll be back in a week.

Just had my 6 month cleaning and they are still amazing. They review any charges so you’re not surprised and it’s the absolute best customer service I’ve had at a medical office. They love what they do. I recommend making your appointment on
. You can fill out any paperwork and set up your insurance and appointment online, plus they text reminders! The best!

Mr. Cam the hygienist was amazing! Super detailed! Dr. Lee and Dr. Yeh are both super awesome! I always have a great experience here! Even though it’s the dentist

I had a wonderful visit to Signature Smiles today! This was my second visit and both have been amazing. Corey and Dr. Yeh were both great in taking care of my teeth. Dana was great as well and made sure I understood all costs of their services.
Thanks guys!

Ok Unilocalers here it is, I am a big fan of good customer service. Whenever I have to pay my hard earned money for services I expect to be treated with GREAT customer service. I was not disappointed not one little bit. I received personal service beyond compare. My teeth and I are happy! Not to mention my minty fresh breath… :-)
Thank you Signature Smiles!!! Peace Unilocalers!

Dr. Yeh has been my dentist going on a year now and I am very pleased. It’s always a positive experience here. Even when the work is not so pleasant they manage to help you stay positive. Everyone one is respectful and professional.
It’s also a plus that when I come for my appointments they are very prompt and I do not spend much time waiting. During my last cleaning/​exam Jonathan was my hygienist and he was great! The mouth is very private so it’s always a little unnerving to have people poking around in it yet his professionalism and friendliness helped put me at ease.
Also I looooooooove the fact that there are TV’s on the ceiling so you can watch a movie to distract yourself while they work.
I decided to try this dentist in the first place because of the Unilocal reviews and I have not been disappointed.

Never updated a review before, but this team warrants it. After nearly 3 years of loyalty, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my teeth. I thank God for such a beautiful smile, but I thank this team for helping me manage it!
They lack and withhold only one imaginable service, a complimentary limo service to take me there and back. I drive 15 miles, one-​way! Totally worth it though. I get premium teeth care and have a great time doing it. I have never met a team more passionate about keeping my mouth clean and healthy. They even taught me how to properly floss. game over.

Two years on, still the best! Can’t say I go into the game room as much anymore, but they’ve always been able to get me in and out for routine work without delays.
Got my fillings done here and they were very patient, going back and forth with me for a good thirty minutes after to get the contours just right.

This top rated Unilocal place is great for a checkup and dental work… hygienists are super gentle and the office has added staffing at all levels to make the experience more efficient from front desk to dentist. And the office and all the equipment is top notch and new, feels great to step in here.

Dr Lee is so amazing! He is always super friendly and really cares about the kids and their teeth! The staff is always friendly and accommodates my children. I have 6 kids and it’s nice that I can bring them all at the same time, without a long waiting period.
The Xbox’s in the waiting room and tv’s above their heads are a HUGE plus! My 2 yr old will be focused on watching Frozen so the dental assistants can do what they need.
By far, the best dentist I have found in a very long time!

Everytime I visit the office, it’s always expanding and growing in either staff, dentists and upgrading equipment to the latest and greatest technology.
Dr. Stanworth is new to the office and he worked on fixing my right tooth. I ended up needing a filling there several weeks before and since I had invisalign, the filling didn’t align with the retainer which changed the direction of my front teeth. Dr. Stanworth was excellent and already knew what the issue was and how to fix it. He also had invisalign done as well so it was great that he understood my pain and could relate. He’s going to be at the woodlands office after his stint at the shepherd location but I highly recommend him. He’s very knowledgeable, easy going and very skilled at what he does.
Araceli was a new dental assistant and she was great! I honestly didn’t even know that not having your face showered from the water when dentists operate on you was even a skill but it is! I hardly had any water splashed on my face and she was awesome assistanting Dr. Stanworth. They made an excellent team and I was glad she gave honest feedback about how my teeth were lined up after Dr. Stanworth had to file down some of the filling so they made sure it looked good aesthetically.
Signature smiles is doing some big stuff over there and expanding more space. I can’t wait to see what the new changes are for my next visit!

Dr. Lee and the assistants at Signature Smiles are stellar in their focus on providing a fun, comfortable experience and excellent dental services.
On my most recent visit, I came in for a teeth whitening before my wedding (lots of smiling was done). The front lobby area was clean and welcoming. I saw a glimpse of the movie Big Hero 6 playing in the kid’s theatre /​game room! It wasn’t long before I was led down the hallway to my chair. They thoroughly explained the staged procedure and then asked me what movie I’d like to watch. Wait – What? Where? That’s right. Cool TECHNOLOGY was everywhere at this dentist office! I chose to watch the hilarious Zoolander (it’s been 14yrs).
The teeth whitening cosmetic procedure is straight forward with several sessions of bleaching activated by UV light exposure. There was some sharp tooth pain after the third session. This was due to the dehydration of my teeth, my assistant explained. I could opt-​out of the last session if I felt pain, but it wasn’t too bad. As a caution to others, there were random 1 second sharp pains in different teeth throughout that day, but none after that.
For our wedding, my teeth were shiny and bright and smile bigger than ever. Thank you so much, Signature Smiles and your awesome staff!
