Melissa graduated from her Dental Assistant program in 2016. What she loves the most about dentistry is connecting with new patients and making them feel comfortable.

At URBN Dental, we know most patients are not huge fans of going to the Dentist in general; therefore, Melissa wants our patients to forget they’re sitting in a dental chair and getting their dental treatment done.

Outside of work, Melissa likes to go mudding with her family and friends, try new foods, and watch documentaries/series on Netflix. Melissa is too humble to brag, but we will! She is a social media celebrity!!!

Maria is our amazing front desk. She is the first smile that you will see when entering our office! With her 10+ years of experience in the dental field, she will be able to help you with everything from scheduling your appointment to all your billing questions.

She enjoys spending time with her very cool son, Anthony a.k.a. Spiderman Jr., and her awesome husband, Nicolas. On her off days, she is a part-time photographer and even serves as the lead photographer for her church.

Her favorite hobby is dancing. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch her doing her fabulous Zumba moves down the URBN Dental hallway!

Elim is a Dental Assisting graduate from Orange County Dental Careers in California. She returned to Houston to be closer to family. THANK GOODNESS because Elim takes amazing care of URBN Dental’s patients.

She loves having the opportunity to make people smile. At URBN Dental, we want our patients to feel welcomed and comfortable through the high-quality care that we provide them.

When Elim is not at work, her boyfriend and her try to live a very healthy lifestyle by eating clean and hitting the gym. You should try to open up a bottle that she has closed...she is very strong! She loves to travel, but home is always wherever her family is.

Julia is the manager at URBN Dental - Uptown. If you’re ever wondering, “How does URBN Dental run so smoothly?!”, it is because of her! She moved to Houston 6 years ago from Washington, where the air smells like pine trees. She loves being able to provide a positive environment for both her staff and patients. At URBN Dental, experience dentistry differently through our excellent patient care and service!

Julia’s hard work does not stop at the office. She recently obtained her Master’s in Healthcare Management. On her leisure time (whenever that is), she enjoys spending time with her husband, traveling, and capturing the moment & scenery. Honestly, her husband and her look like they belong on the cover of a romantic novel, a beautiful couple inside & out.

Angela is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin (HOOK ‘EM). She returned to Houston to purse her dental hygiene degree. She graduated from her dental hygiene program with high honors and earned multiple awards, including Outstanding Professional Leadership and Most Outstanding Student. Angela is the Lead Dental Hygienist at URBN Dental. URBN Dental focuses on teamwork between the dental professionals and the patients. This core value allows Angela time to connect with her patients and educate them about their dental health.

When she is not at the office, Angela should probably take a nap but doesn’t. Angela and her fiancé like to stay active. She scuba dives, hikes, teaches a fitness class, and volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Angela would like to note that she sounds a lot cooler than she actually is.
