Our History

 Montrose DDS has been a part of the Houston community since 1981. First opened by Dr. Bruce Smith in a small bungalow in the Montrose neighborhood of Houston during the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Dr. Smith was one of only a handful of dentists who would care for patients with HIV/AIDS. Because of his background in infection control, he was instrumental in developing universal precautions for dentistry. Dr. Smith continued to serve the community until his retirement in 2019. He sold the practice to Dr. Carrell because of his confidence that Drs. Carrell and Faulk will carry on his founding principles of providing modern dentistry that is both an art and a science, that delivers desired results with kindness, without pain or discomfort.
