About

Johnathan Phan studied at the University of Texas at Austin, where he double majored in physics and biology, before taking his dental degree at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He opened Space City Smiles in Spring Branch in 2018 and has owned and practiced there since.

His stated clinical interests are cosmetic restoration, pediatric hygiene, and braces, and he is an authorized Invisalign provider. The practice covers the routine end of general dentistry alongside that — exams, fillings, extractions, and root canal treatment.

The office is built for access rather than exclusivity. It runs six days a week including Saturdays, accepts most PPO plans, and offers financing to patients arriving without insurance — a combination aimed squarely at cost-conscious patients on Houston's west side.
