Northwest General Dentistry is led by two experienced, community-rooted professionals. Dr. Kaushal Vakil, DDS, was born and raised in Houston and brings over 20 years of private practice experience. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and Baylor College of Dentistry, he completed a general practice residency at the Central Texas Veterans Hospital in Temple, Texas. He is an active member of the Southwest Academy of Comprehensive Dentistry, the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, and the Greater Houston Dental Society. His dedication to continuing education ensures patients benefit from the latest treatment approaches.
Joining Dr. Vakil is Dr. Kevin Otten, DDS, a published researcher and seasoned clinician who earned his Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Dallas and his DDS from the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston. With 30 years of Texas-based practice experience and a strong record of continuing education, Dr. Otten brings intellectual rigor and genuine care to every patient interaction. He is also a member of the ADA, TDA, and Greater Houston Dental Society, and his commitment to modern dentistry ensures precision-driven care.
A defining strength of Northwest General Dentistry is its state-of-the-art facility and focus on making quality care accessible. The practice uses advanced diagnostic and treatment technology to improve accuracy, efficiency, and patient comfort. For patients without traditional dental insurance, the practice offers an in-house dental membership plan and flexible financing options, ensuring cost is never a barrier to achieving a healthy smile. The team's collaborative approach—centered on listening, explaining options, and involving patients in care decisions—sets the practice apart.
