Services
If you're new to the area or looking for a new dentist in Upper Kirby, you've probably found quite a few dentists who claim they have offer superior services and advanced dental care, but at West U Dental Smiles, we deliver! We truly go above and beyond to make high quality dental care in our convenient West University Place office, and we offer affordable treatments, patient discounts, and free consultations.
Dr. Dodig earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery at The University of Texas at Houston Dental Branch where she received several awards in Aesthetic and General Dentistry, including the Myron Sigler Aesthetic Dentistry Award for Outstanding Performance and Interest in Esthetic Dentistry, the Outstanding Prosthodontist Award, and the Star of the South Dental Meeting Table Clinic Award.
Helping patients keep their natural smiles healthy and beautiful for a lifetime is our number one goal at West U Dental Smiles. Dr. Neda Dodig and her skilled Houston dentistry team are dedicated to working with each patient to develop a personalized preventive maintenance plan, and help them maintain best practices in at-home hygiene.
Besides your teeth, your gingival tissue is equally important to a healthy smile. The biggest threat to the health of your gums is a preventable infection called periodontal disease. Although it can be avoided, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates at least 50% of adults have a form of it.
Many patients wonder why it's necessary to receive professional cleanings from their dentist in Houston when they brush and floss their teeth at home every day. There are hard-to-reach nooks and crannies in your mouth that you won't be able to get to with a regular toothbrush. Fortunately, Dr. Neda Dodig is well-equipped to clean those areas and prevent tartar buildup that can cause cavities and gum disease.

Dr. Dodig and her team are awesome! I had to get several fillings because I had not been to the dentist since before Covid and they did an excellent job! It was super fast and also didn’t hurt at all, great work and I’m so happy to have found a great dentist.

I have been seeing Dr Dodig for years. I trust her expertise and have even had family who live out of town see her for a second opinion when they're here. About 2 years ago I moved from Houston to the suburbs. It's about an hour drive but it's totally worth it so I make that drive!

Dr. Dodig is fantastic! Great bedside manner and time with patient. She is very thorough and does a great job of informing you of options. Doesn't try to push any procedure on you that isn't necessary, but will educate you on the long term plan. I've been going here a long time and am super happy with this practice. The dental hygienists are excellent also and don't kill your mouth when cleaning (thank you!). Overall, definitely recommend!

Dr Dodig and her staff is amazing! I have a dental phobia and did not let anyone touch my teeth for several years unless if it was absolutely necessary. That is until I found Dr Dodig. My husband and I have been coming here for a couple of years now and I can not think of a better place to go to. We highly recommend coming to see Dr Dodig!

Dr. Dodig and her staff are truly amazing. They are kind, compassionate and really care about the patient. I had lacked taking care of my teeth and they expressed to me the importance of oral health and have taken care of me ever since. Dr. Dodig is also the Picasso of cosmetic bonding. She transformed my teeth after I had some gaping. I can not recommend this team enough. Thank you thank you for everything you’ve done for me!❤️

I have been coming to the West U Dental Clinic for 25 years. I have always had a good experience and feel like the doctor and staff are very caring, considerate and it is a good practice to be a patient at. Whenever I have had dental issues, everyone has always bent over backwards to help resolve the issues. The dental hygienist has always taken good care of keeping my teeth clean and free of plaque. I wholeheartedly recommend this dental office.

Dread going to the dentist? Go to West U Dental Smiles! Dr. Dodig and her team are professional and caring. They tailor the needs for each patient without insisting on unnecessary procedures. Most importantly, they make you feel comfortable and always explain what they are doing and what will be happening next. I've been going to Dr. Dodig for over four years and have always had great visits and my teeth have never looked better!

Dr. Dodig is excellent. Im a physician and know what constitutes good patient care. Dr. Dodig is knowledgeable, thorough, and goes to the extra mile to ensure her patients are receiving the highest standard of care. She listens to her patients and takes the time to discuss issues & treatment plans. She also educates her patients on dental hygiene. Dr. Dodig is very responsive and has fit me into her tight schedule on more than one occasion when emergencies arose. I would highly recommend her and consider her to be one of the best dentists in town.

Drs Dodig and Flementé did an outstanding job on my son's smile! They worked with our insurance to lower the cost and the results are wonderful! They were able to work around his schedule so that he minimized lost time at school. They even cleaned his teeth so everything looks great when he smiles!

I had (yes, HAD) a HUGE dentist phobia. I hadn't been to the dentist in four years, and of course, the longer I waited, the more embarrassed I felt, and the more I avoided. I started having some pain, and knew I had to face my fears. My friend recommended West U Dental, and I am so grateful that she did! My experience was positive from the very beginning. They got me in, as a new patient, the very next day for an exam and x-ray.

First of all, there was absolutely ZERO shame about being so overdue. The whole team was extremely compassionate, understanding, and warm. I had to get a

I found out about this office via a promotion for teeth whitening but visited several months beforehand for a routine cleaning.

Dr. Dodig, Corinne, and Diana have been wonderful in ensuring that I keep up with regular appointments, cleaning strategies (Glide, not regular, floss!) and taking care of dental problems as they arise. You might not think that you can have satisfying conversations about things great and small during a cleaning, but you would be wrong.

Since first visiting in 2011, I have enjoyed (yes, really) twice yearly cleanings, a handful of fillings, and treatment for gum recessions

I've been coming here for years as have several family members. I've referred friends, boyfriends, and co-workers over the years. Dr. Dodig's tooth game is strong. She's not only knowledgeable and diagnoses issues accurately, but her demeanor is personable and warm. I mean, it's hard enough getting people to commit to routine cleaning visits so having a lovely persona and an exceptional staff are critical. The hygienists and office staff are courteous and professional and go out of their way to ensure your comfort and satisfaction take priority when having any procedures

Since moving to Houston, I hadn't been to a dentist (yeah, I waited a year between teeth cleanings, sue me.) Then I was forced to find a dentist because I needed a root canal, stat. Upon a recommendation from a coworker, I ended up here. I'm so glad I did.

After having an initial talk with Dr. Dodig about some anxieties I had with fillings and the traumas I had had with dentists before, she made me feel as comfortable as possible and took care of my tooth. I had a minor reaction to the cleaning solution and she handled it very well.

I went back later because my roommate was getting

This is really as best as it gets. Great office, great staff, great location, and most importantly, a great Doctor.
Dr. Dodig and her staff will make you feel like you are at home while she is taking care of you. She has a very gentle touch, is educated and very knowledgeable about what she does. As an adult who is afraid of dentists, I am definitely not afraid to go see her. She will go above and beyond to make you happy with her services, but she is not the one to push anything unnecessary, unlike some other dentists I've visited before. Dr Dodig is a perfectionist and she believes in what

From regular cleaning to whitening treatments the services offered here are top notch. Being a bit of a "baby" when it comes to dentistry everyone in the office is committed to my comfort and the health of my teeth and gums. Dr. Dodig takes time with you and expresses a personal interest in your well-being. And my hygienist? Well, isn't that what keeps you coming back? Very personable and very gentle. Best of the best.

Would recommend.

I recently moved to Houston and decided to try West U Dental since it was close to home and work. Dr. Dodig is the best !!!! I have had discomfort on an upper back tooth since it was filled five years ago by another dentist. Dr. Dodig replaced the filling and since then I have had no problems. I have refered my parents, sisters, aunts and co workers and everyone is very satisfied! I'm so thankful to Dr. Dodig and her staff!

I went here because I purchased a great living social deal for dentaI exam and teeth whitening. The staff was really nice even though I was late to my appointment (I had gotten lost and gps was sending me to Kansas!). Any after the exam and a cleaning they did the whitening. The result was instantaneous! Dr. Dodig noticed a chipped bond that a previous dentist had put on my tooth to cover a chip. She said that she could fix it and make it look normal. I scheduled an appointment, thinking well at i need to get the chip fix so what the hell. I had my appointment yesterday and I'm amazed at the
