Browning Smile Design at Vintage Park was recently recognized as one of America's Top Dentists for 2011 by the Consumers' Research Council of America for Family Dentistry and Orthodontics. Dr. Brent Browning loves dentistry and helping people improve their smiles through quality care. "Even though I've been in practice for over 30 years, I still enjoy doing what I do each day, committed to excellence, with first-class service for our family of patients." To stay competitive in today's high-tech savvy world, we take pride in providing the best and latest technology in our beautiful, new state-of-the-art facility. Digital radiography, intra-oral cameras, soft-tissue diode laser treatments, ceiling and wall-mounted HDTVs, along with sedation dentistry are a few examples of our 21st century services.”

Dr. Browning and his experienced staff relocated to their new Vintage Park location just last year. Spacious, warm and welcoming, patients instantly experience the inviting patient-friendly atmosphere.

Dr. Browning provides family and cosmetic dentistry as well as orthodontic services for a comprehensive approach for building a great smile. He trained under some of the best innovators in the field of straight-wire orthodontics and Invisalign. "I feel you can't be a great cosmetic dentist if you don't have the experience and knowledge in orthodontics and the opposite holds true as well," he said. Dr. Browning is able to pull from his vast experience in both fields to help patients with even the most challenging cases.

Dr. Browning is a long-time Houston resident growing up in the Memorial area of town. After serving a two-year LDS mission in Uruguay and Paraguay–becoming fluent in the Spanish language–he went on to graduate cum laude from Brigham Young University. Dr. Browning then completed his studies from the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston, graduating in just three years–leading his class in clinical skills.

Dr, Browning and his wife of 38 years, Janeen, have raised two sons and enjoy their four grandchildren. He enjoys flying his own classic/vintage twin-engine Beechcraft Travel-Air, having flown more than 40 different makes of airplanes. He also spends time working a small ranch with his horses and longhorns. North American hunting has become Dr. Browning's newest passion after years of collecting "Browning Era" antique rifles. He is the great, great, great grandson of Jonathan Browning, the pioneer repeating rifle inventor and founder of Browning Arms. The elder Browning's son, John Moses Browning, is known as the "Father of Modern Firearms" and is remem-bered as one of the most important figures in the development of many modern automatic and semi-automatic firearms. "It's a rich and interesting heritage that I am really proud to have," said Dr. Browning.

The decor at Dr. Browning's office highlights some of his family heritage with photos, memorabilia and stories featuring some of his more noted hunting adventures.
