Family dentistry in Pearland
Dr. Priya Raman and her team see kids, parents and grandparents in one office on Oak Bend Drive. New patients are welcome, and most visits are booked within the week.
A small practice where people know your name
Dr. Raman opened Bright Oak in 2016 after eight years at a large group practice in Houston. She wanted appointments that weren't rushed and a front desk that remembers whose kid just lost a tooth.
Today it's Dr. Raman, two hygienists, Denise and Marco, and Angela at the front desk. Most patients see the same hygienist every visit.

First visits that go slowly
A child's first visit is mostly a tour: they ride the chair up and down, count their teeth with the mirror and pick something from the treasure box. Parents stay in the room the whole time.
- First visit by age 2, or when you're ready
- Sealants and fluoride for school-age kids
- After-school times on Tuesdays and Thursdays
