Meet Our Dentist Jon Marc Van Slate, DDS, FAGD
Dr. Van Slate is truly ahead of the pack when it comes to the knowledge and training to perform excellent dentistry. Since beginning his dental practice in 1989, he has remained steadfast in his commitment to continuing education, which he believes is crucial to providing exceptional patient care. He has completed over 150 hours of continuing dental education coursework each year since 1999 and is passionate about discovering new avenues through which to improve his craft.
Dr. Van Slate has become affiliated with a number of prestigious dental organizations throughout his career. He spent time at the Pankey Institute and Spear, two premier professional groups for study in various fields of dentistry.
He also earned Fellowship with the world-renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), where he completed coursework in Advanced Anterior Esthetics, Comprehensive Esthetics, Occlusion, Neuromuscular Principles, and Full Mouth Reconstruction. Less than 5% of dentists in the country have achieved this level of training in neuromuscular and cosmetic dentistry. His combination of experience and education gives him the skill to perform a wide range of restorative, general, and cosmetic dentistry services.
When he's not working with patients or furthering his knowledge of dentistry, Dr. Van Slate loves spending time in the great outdoors and relaxing with his wife and two daughters at their lake house on Toledo Bend.

Why Houston Patients Trust Us For High-Quality Dentistry
Houston is one of the nation's largest cities, and there's no lack of dental practices in the area to choose from, so what keeps patients coming back to Augusta Drive Dental Care time and again? Take a look at what makes us stand out from the crowd.
Neuromuscular Focus
Your mouth, jaw, neck, and facial muscles work in tandem to maintain the comfortable, effective function of your bite. Our dentist knows this, and he approaches each case with this principle in mind. When examining the state of your smile, Dr. Van Slate will take the full function of your head and neck into account. He can recommend methods to improve your bite and also perform treatment with orthodontics and custom oral appliances. In many cases, you'd have to visit an orthodontist for these specialized services, but our dentist can treat you right here at our Houston office.
LVI-Preferred Dentist
In addition to earning Fellowship to the LVI, the organization has taken their recognition of Dr. Van Slate a step further by listing him as a Preferred Dentist. This means that a network of some of the most accomplished professionals in neuromuscular and cosmetic dentistry consider Dr. Van Slate to uphold the highest standards of care in these fields. Patients throughout the state travel to us to benefit from his skilled approach to issues like TMJ, sleep apnea, and aesthetic dental concerns.
Comprehensive Services
Dr. Van Slate does more than just neuromuscular dentistry. Over three decades in practice, he has developed skills in various fields, including restorative dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, and cosmetic care. Whether you want to correct crooked teeth with Invisalign®, address a root canal infection with virtually painless treatment, or give your teeth an upgrade with custom porcelain veneers, Dr. Van Slate can handle it all. Our dentist treats patients of all ages, making our practice a convenient dental home for your entire family.
Calming Sedation Options
We understand that friendly faces and a gentle touch may not be quite enough to help you feel at ease in the dental chair, especially if you're undergoing more intensive oral health care. To help all our patients achieve peace of mind, we offer oral conscious and nitrous oxide sedation. Both of these options can bring about a deep sense of calm that allows you to relax for a pain-free, worry-free experience at our Houston office.
Our Houston Office Was Designed for Your Comfort Request a Consultation With Our Inviting Team Today
From the moment you first step through our doors, you'll be treated like family. While Dr. Van Slate prepares for your visit, you can relax in our waiting room with a complementary coffee or cookie—we'll handle the brushing for you afterwards. During your appointment, you'll meet with Dr. Van Slate for one-on-one treatment in a private room, fully equipped with the latest dental technology to provide the quality care you're looking for.
Your search for the right dentist is over now that you've found Augusta Drive Dental Care. All you have to do is request a consultation to get started on your happier, healthier smile. Contact us online or call us in Houston, TX:

I have been coming here since about 1994. One time my insurance changed and U had to go somewhere else. Nothing can compare to Dr Jon VanSlate and the staff. I moved to North Carolina. I flew in and had my teeth cleaned. No one else will touch my teeth. They are the best!!! Love this DDS.

Dr Van Slate is an excellent dentist. He spent almost a full hour with me today (not just assistant) and he gave me excellent feedback. He took his time asking questions about my dental health. Also, his staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. I would recommend anyone to Dr. Van Slate.
