Welcome to Portales Dental
Welcome to Portales Dental
Dr. Charles Portales didn't choose dentistry on a whim. He started working for his father, an oral surgeon, at age 11, cleaning instruments, taking X-rays, and eventually assisting on procedures. By his teenage years, he was showing up for emergency calls and getting a front-row view of complex cases that most dentists never see. He earned his DDS from the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, spent two years associating, and in 1997 opened his own practice in Conroe, Texas. He's been here ever since -- 29 years in the same building, seeing patients he's known for decades, and loving every bit of it. He's a longtime member of the Spears Study Club and the Texas Dental Association, and his patients still talk about his injections. They can't feel them.
