The Wellness Dentist

About Dr. Katie To

The Wellness Dentist®

I’m a wife, mother, dentist, and lifelong student of wellness. My husband, Dr. Bar Nguyen, is a board-certified orthodontist and now part of our practice family. Together, we’re raising two amazing children — our son, Bailey, and our daughter, Apple — who fill our lives with joy, laughter, and purpose. Parenthood deepened my understanding of what true wellness means, and it continues to inspire how I care for my patients and lead my team every day.

I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, where I received distinction in research and awards in cosmetic dentistry. I am a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), the youngest Master of Biological Dentistry within the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM), and the first female Master of Smile Design in the DSD network.

But beyond the titles and credentials, what truly defines my work is my belief that dentistry is more than treating teeth — it’s an essential part of whole-body wellness. Through The Wellness Dentist®, I help patients and practitioners connect the dots between oral health, biology, and lifestyle so they can thrive — not just survive.

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me traveling, exploring the world through my camera lens, hopping on my Peloton, or practicing yoga (on my journey to becoming a certified instructor). Most of all, I cherish quiet family moments — cooking, laughing, and teaching my children to live with gratitude, curiosity, and joy.

My mission is simple: to help you experience health and happiness from the inside out. Whether you’re a patient, a parent, or a practitioner, I hope what you find here empowers you to take the next step on your wellness journey.
