Our Story

One of Houston’s premier cosmetic dentists, Dr. Zeb F. Poindexter, III proudly continues his father’s legacy. In 1956, Dr. Zeb F. Poindexter, Jr. became the first African-American to graduate dental school in Texas (UT Dental). Shortly after graduation, he started his own practice, becoming a premier Black dentist in Houston. Today Poindexter Dental, Inc. continues to be a leading oral health care provider in Houston, TX, offering services including but not limited to general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and laser treatment. Like his father, Dr. Zeb F. Poindexter III is also a graduate of the University of Texas Dental Branch (making them the first Black father/son duo to do so). He is distinguished as one of Houston’s Health Care Heroes, certified in a multitude of dental specialties, and is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry.
