I got into dentistry or had an interest in dentistry when I was about 14 years old. I was involved in Boy Scouts and had a dentist that was the dental merit badge counselor. And so I got involved with him doing the dentistry merit badge and just kind of really liked it. I mean, as a kid, I always enjoyed going to the dentist. I was the kid that would, you know, kind of turn my head around to look to see what was going on not because I was afraid but because I was curious as to the process and what was going on. From that, and then doing the dentistry merit badge, I knew when I was 14 I wanted to be a dentist.
I did my undergrad at BYU, Brigham Young University. Took a little time off and went on a church mission for a couple years down in Guatemala, and then returned back to BYU for my undergrad. Studied zoology with a human biology emphasis. And then I went to dental school in San Antonio, Texas, at the University of Texas, San Antonio.
What I love about doing dentistry is changing someone’s life. Changing someone’s smile, fixing someone’s smile, giving someone teeth that has never had teeth before can change everything for them. Whether it’s helping them get a job. Whether it’s giving them the confidence to, you know, go ask a girl out, or just whatever. So much confidence comes from a beautiful smile. And so that to me is one of my absolute favorite things about what I do.
Dr. Paul Smith Loves Giving Patients the Best in Care
Dr. Paul Smith realized his passion for dentistry as a boy scout working on the dentistry merit badge. It was later fueled even further when participating in a medical mission trip to Guatemala.
After serving a 2-year mission for his church in Guatemala, where he learned Spanish, he attended Brigham Young University for undergrad. He attended dental school at the University of Texas Dental School at San Antonio where he graduated with honors for Excellence in Clinical Dentistry.
Since 2008, Dr. Smith has owned Creekwood Dental. He loves to keep up with all the new advancements in dentistry and attends continuing education courses so he can offer his patients the best in dental care.
Dr. Smith and his family have enjoyed working and living in the Kingwood area. He is grateful for all the support he and his practice have received from the community. In return, he does what he can to give back by volunteering in schools and church, participating in dental health projects, going on mission trips, and much more.
Dr. Smith spends much of his free time at the ball fields or anywhere else where his kids are. He also enjoy outdoors activities, including playing golf, hunting, and fishing.

Due to a not so pleasant experience, I have not gone to a Dentist in over 15yrs. So I did my research and it kept taking me back to Creekwood Dental. From the first phone call to the first office visit, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Because I was so nervous I feel like I was treated so very special, but to be fair that’s
F. M. (Verified Patient)
Quick and thorough evaluation. Friendly and pleasant staff. Dr Smith is a great person and competent dentist. Not hesitant not recommend Creekwood Dental.
J. N. (Verified Patient)
Even though I’m about 2 hours away from Dr Smith now, I choose to drive that 4-hour round trip because a he’s *THAT* good. I’ve literally dozed off in the chair before while he was drilling. And I have dental phobia, so being that relaxed is not my norm – except with Dr Smith. He does great work, and treats me like family. A+++
L. P. (Verified Patient)
Excellent service and so kind and compassionate!
