Twelve Years. Hundreds of Five Stars. Thousands of Beautiful Smiles. Dr. Rizwan Khan

by Amy Sharp

Dr. Rizwan Khan knew when he first started practicing in the Richmond area in 2010 that he wanted to set himself apart. “My parents were first generation immigrants from India,” explains Dr. Khan. “My mother was a beloved pediatrician who made it her life goal to always put her patients first.” With this same passion for patient care and a hyperfocus on detail, Dr. Khan has become a highly regarded orthodontist this community has loved for 12 years and counting. After graduating high school as salutatorian and undergraduate with honors, Dr. Khan completed dental school and a multi-year residency in dentofacial orthopedics and orthodontics at the Medical University of South Carolina. He was the sole winner of the 2007 Award of Excellence from the American Association of Orthodontists. In 2010, Dr. Khan began practicing in Fort Bend where he’s continued a legacy of excellence.

Smile Studio Orthodontics is owned, managed, and operated solely by Dr. Khan. “We are a medium-size boutique practice with an emphasis on high-quality care and excellent customer service. We are not a high-volume mill or a corporate chain, and I want to keep it that way,” says Dr. Khan. “The number one priority for me is always maintaining a patient-centric practice. It’s never, ‘get in, get out.’ I make myself super available, and I always oversee all patient care. High-quality care for both children and adults is of the utmost importance.”

And the people of Fort Bend have responded. Over the course of twelve years, Dr. Khan has crafted several thousand gorgeous smiles. He’s also beginning to see the children of previous patients. With more than 500 reviews, Smile Studio Orthodontics sustains a perfect 5-star rating on Google (extremely rare for anyone in business more than a decade). The practice is very modern, offering 3D digital scans, digital x-rays, Invisalign, and traditional and clear braces.

Like the American Association of Orthodontists, Dr. Khan recommends children do a first orthodontic evaluation at age 7. “It’s a common misconception that you need to wait for all the baby teeth to come out,” explains Dr. Khan. “Some bite issues–including cross bites, underbites, severe crowding, and teeth that come in incorrectly–cannot wait. These growth issues can often only be fixed at an early age.” Smile Studio Orthodontics accepts all insurances. Referrals are not necessary, and 0% financing is available.

Dr. Khan and his wife Sophia, a native of Katy, are proud parents to three very active boys. Smile Studio Orthodontics recently celebrated donating more than $100,000 to local schools and organizations. Dr. Khan says, “I live in this amazing community, and it’s so important that we give back.”
