We’re excited to announce that a crowd-favorite celebration, Invisalign Day, is coming back to Pasadena Family Dentistry on June 17th!

For one day only, you can receive $1,000 off Invisalign clear aligners and be entered into our raffle for a chance to win a swanky beach basket. And the best part? The exam is 100% free!

We’re honored to highlight two of our favorite patients, Mr. and Mrs. Hall, and the beautiful legacy of love, family, and faithfulness that they share. The two of them will be turning 90 years young and are excited to welcome their 32nd great-grandchild to the world.
They’re certainly no strangers to knocked out baby teeth!

Welcome to the new year, everyone! We’re excited to see what 2026 will bring and are looking forward to catching up with you during your next checkup and cleaning.

We also know that for many of you, the new year marks the start of your new dental insurance plan. If your policy information has changed, remember to let us know before your next appointment so we can continue...

It’s always nice to hear kind praise from others, but when it comes from someone who practices the same craft you do, it feels extra special. That’s why we wanted to share Ludi’s patient testimonial with you all. We’re proud to receive such a glowing review from a highly experienced pediatric dentist.

This month, we are proud to honor one of our dear patients and an incredible community leader – Dr. DeeAnn Powell, the retiring Superintendent of Pasadena Independent School District.

Dr. Powell began her career as a history teacher and steadily rose through the ranks to make history herself as the first Pasadena ISD graduate and first female to serve as Superintendent. Over her remarkable tenure, Dr. Powell’s leadership has led to numerous district-wide achievements, including full-day pre-K expansion, award-winning dual language and career readiness programs, and nationally recognized personalized learning.
