Meet the Staff

Dr. Dwight Price - Dentist

Dwight Price has a very special interest in helping people feel good about themselves by improving their smiles.

Dr. Price graduated from Southern State University in 1969 and the University of Texas Dental School in 1973. He continued his training at The Pankey Institute for advanced dental education in Key Biscayne, Florida, where dentists learn to bridge the gap between what is known and what is practiced so that you, the patient, may have optimal oral health care. He is a member of the Greater Houston Dental Society; both the Texas and American Dental Associations; the Houston, Texas and National Academies of General Dentistry and is past president of Houston Academy of General Dentistry.

Susan, Dr. Price’s wife, is a veterinarian with a special affinity for cats and horses. They have one daughter, Kristy, and one granddaughter, Chansey.

He loves to water ski, snow ski, hike and ride motorcycles on which he has taken several cross-country trips.

 

Dr. Joseph K. Bauscher – Associate Dentist

Dr. Bauscher graduated from the University of Texas Dental School in 1966 and went directly into the US Army where he worked as a Dental Intern until 1967.

He became a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry in 1981, a distinction he earned by completing more than 500 credit hours of continuing education and passing a comprehensive examination. Only about 10 percent of all general dentists have earned an Academy Fellowship Award.

Along with practicing dentistry, Dr. Bauscher also enjoys both sailing and Bible study, but not necessarily at the same time.

Combined with his winning manner, Dr. Bauscher’s years of experience and dedication to continuing education make him an outstanding dentist with a loyal corps of patients.
