KONIG Center for Cosmetic & Comprehensive Dentistry

We all know that first impressions are everything. In fact, one of the first things you notice about a person is his or her smile. A bright and beautiful smile can really boost a person's self-confidence. Since each patient is different, many factors can impact the outcome of a person's smile, including face shaping, tooth size color and conditioning. At KONIG Cosmetic & Comprehensive Dentistry, Dr. Ronald Konig can make that dream a reality. In fact, in our Body Image program, we profiled two of doctor Konig's patients. One had more extensive work done and the other more minor procedures. Either way, Dr. Konig can give you the smile you've always wanted. Dr. Konig's office is located at 2201 West Holcombe in the Medical Center. He can be reached by calling 713-668-2289 or by logging onto www.konigdds.com.
