ERMELINDA DA PONTE, DDS

Oral surgery requires precision and clarity. ERMELINDA DA PONTE, DDS operates in Kingwood, a planned community where the trees outnumber the traffic lights. This isn’t a neighborhood where you stumble upon specialty practices—you either know where you’re going or you’re relying on a map. The office sits at 23051 Kingwood Pl Dr, a stretch that’s more residential than commercial, which means no drive-by foot traffic, just patients who arrive with purpose.

Surgeons who focus on the mouth, jaw, and face handle cases that dentists typically don’t. Wisdom teeth extractions, dental implants, corrective jaw surgery—these aren’t routine cleanings or fillings. The distinction matters because the stakes are higher, the procedures more involved, and the recovery often more structured. Kingwood’s sprawl means patients might drive past three Starbucks before reaching an oral surgeon, but that’s the trade-off for living in a area designed around cul-de-sacs and greenbelts.

The phone is the fastest way to confirm details: (281) 358-2997. No front-desk small talk, no sales pitch—just the logistics of what needs to happen next. Oral surgery isn’t the kind of appointment you schedule on a whim, and the conversation usually reflects that. Questions about sedation options, post-op instructions, or insurance coordination tend to dominate, because by the time someone’s calling, they’ve already done the research.

Directions matter when the office isn’t on a main drag. The map pin drops you in a quiet corner of Kingwood, where the buildings are low-slung and the parking lots aren’t packed. That’s intentional—this isn’t a place you wander into.
