So, he dropped everything, studied hard, and obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas at Houston. Since then, he has been caring for his patients in The Colony and staying up to date on the latest in dentistry through continuing education courses. He has a special interest in restorative dentistry\u2014he likes nothing more than helping patients get out of pain and back to smiling like themselves again.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Dentist\u2019s Love for The Colony<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Amos couldn\u2019t imagine practicing dentistry anywhere else because he simply loves The Colony and all of the patients he serves.
