Kois
Center Trained
“Most people who call us have already been to a dentist. Sometimes a fix didn’t hold, sometimes something was never fully explained. Sometimes they’ve just been putting it off because no one made them feel like it was worth dealing with. That’s usually where we come in.”
Dr. Tex Mabalon
Our Philosophy
We Find What’s Actually Wrong.
“The best dental work is the work that never had to happen. That starts with understanding the cause, not just the symptom.”
Dr. Tex sees one patient at a time. Your first visit is a real conversation about your bite, your tissues, your joints, and your goals. Nothing gets proposed until you understand why.
1-on-1 Time with Dr. Tex
No double bookings, no assembly-line dentistry. Every appointment is unrushed, personal time with your doctor.
Risk-Based Treatment Planning
Every recommendation is rooted in Kois-trained protocol, built around your long-term health.
Whole-Body Perspective
Your oral health affects your entire body. We look at the full picture, not just your teeth.
Education & Professional Associations
Why Patients Choose Us
This Practice Works Differently.
Six structural differences patients notice at their first appointment. Each reflects a deliberate decision about how to practice dentistry.
Root-Cause Diagnosis
Your exam starts with a risk assessment across four systems: periodontal health, bite mechanics, airway function, and esthetics. You see the findings before we discuss anything.
Kois Center Training
The Kois Center trains clinicians to diagnose risk as a system, not in silos. Fewer than 2% of practicing dentists hold this training. Dr. Tex is one of them in the Sacramento area.
Whole-Body Health Lens
Airway, TMJ, sleep, and systemic markers are part of every comprehensive exam. Oral DNA testing is standard, not an upgrade. Your mouth and your body are connected.
Health Relationship Coordinator
Before Dr. Tex enters the room, your Health Relationship Coordinator has built your health history and established trust.
Fee-for-Service Freedom
This practice is not contracted with insurance companies. Every recommendation is driven by what your oral health requires. Not by what a coverage policy will reimburse.
Dr. Pepper, Therapy Dog
Dr. Pepper is a certified therapy dog who attends appointments for patients who want comfort. Many anxious patients say the effect is more meaningful than any sedation option.
Advanced Diagnostics
Advanced Dental Technology & Diagnostics.
Very few dental offices in Sacramento offer this level of diagnostic depth. It’s how we understand your health before treating your teeth.
Saliva-Based DNA Testing
A simple saliva test reveals the specific bacteria driving gum disease and decay, so treatment targets your biology, not a guess.
Cone Beam (CBCT) Scan
A low-dose 3D X-ray that maps bone, nerves, sinuses, and airway in full detail, so dental treatment is planned to the millimeter.
Intraoral Scanners
Digital 3D scans replace messy impressions and let you see exactly what we see, in real time, on screen.
Insurance & Payment Options
We aim to make personalized dental care accessible and stress-free, with flexible options for insurance, financing, and membership-based care.
Insurance Support
We work with patients from a wide range of dental insurance plans and file claims on your behalf. Call us and we’ll help you understand your benefits before your appointment.
Flexible Payment Plans
We’ve partnered with Cherry to make care more accessible. Flexible plans may allow you to split eligible treatment costs into manageable monthly payments.
Lifetime Smiles Club

Patient Reviews
What Sacramento Patients Are Saying.

“Dr. Tex spent an hour just explaining what was happening in my mouth before suggesting anything. No other dentist has ever done that. I finally understand my own dental health.”
