5-Star Reviews From Our 5-Star Patients "I will recommend San Angelo Smiles to everyone I know."
Tracy Greulich
Dr Teja and his staff are the best!! I chose San Angelo Smiles because I wanted a Holistic dentist to remove a mercury filling properly and take care of a cavity. In addition to those things, they found I had impaired mouth syndrome/sleep apnea. I’ve seen so many doctors and sleep apnea never crossed their minds. This ended up being the root cause of most of my health problems-fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue, crohn’s, and hormone imbalance. Definitely recommend!!

It is nice to have a holistic dentist in town. Before, I had to travel. The staff is very kind and Dr.Teja is a skilled man doing good work for people in need. My wisdom tooth had a cavity and he filled it. I thought it would need extracted but he showed me the tooth is still healthy. They made sure to give me focused care and scheduled me as the last patient of the day. I look forward to visiting again! Holistic dentistry is the only one you can trust to do the job well and proper with your well-being and safety in mind. I will recommend San Angelo Smiles to everyone I know who needs work done on their teeth!
View on GoogleWhen searching for a dentist in West Texas, you may not expect to find someone who was born in Kenya, received his secondary education in England, and underwent his initial dental education at the prestigious King's College Hospital, part of the University of London. However, this is exactly where you will find Dr. Max Teja.
Meet Dr. Max Teja A Dentist With Over 40 Years of Experience
After graduating from King's College in 1978, Dr. Teja practiced in both England and Kenya before moving his family to the United States. He then attended the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, where he graduated with honors in 1991.
In 2005, Dr. Teja was presented with a new opportunity: a chance to open a dental practice in San Angelo, TX. He and his wife, Karin, worked tirelessly for two years to remodel the interior of our San Angelo, TX, office to meet their high standards. Those standards have paid off in the form of an office that makes patients feel calm and welcome as soon as they enter the door.
Those doors opened in June 2007, and Dr. Teja believes everyone who walks through them should feel at home in our office. In fact, every patient is a member of our dental family and is treated as such. This family is of extreme importance to Dr. Teja and to the practice, which is one of the reasons why our dentist insists on pursuing more continuing education each year than is required by the State of Texas.
Dr. Teja's Professional Affiliations
Featured Procedures At Our San Angelo Practice
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea doesn't simply cause loud snoring and overwhelming daytime fatigue—it can also take a toll on your cardiovascular and metabolic health. Dr. Teja is a dentist who can identify the cause of your sleep apnea and provide the treatment you need to achieve restful sleep and safeguard your health.
Airway Analysis
As part of his approach to diagnosing and treating sleep apnea, Dr. Teja will conduct an airway analysis to determine how the soft tissues of your mouth, throat, and sinuses are affecting your ability to achieve deep sleep at night. This data informs treatment using the Vivos® System, which our dentist can employ to help you gradually achieve an improvement in your ability to breathe properly during sleep.
Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART)
Removing silver amalgam dental fillings can expose the patient to harmful mercury vapors. Dr. Teja uses the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) to minimize risks and safely transition to a dental filling made of tooth-colored resin, a more natural-looking alternative with far greater biocompatibility.

How Sleep Apnea Treatment From Dr. Teja Can Help You Sleep Better at Night
Dr. Teja is a dentist who helps patients with sleep apnea, a condition in which the upper airway becomes blocked during sleep. Sleep apnea can lead to snoring, stops in breathing, gasping for air, and interrupted sleeping patterns. Serious health issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and depression can develop if sleep apnea is left untreated. Dr. Teja may offer treatment with the DNA Appliance® by Vivos, a biomimetic oral appliance that can ease or potentially eliminate your sleep disorder without surgery.
Root Causes of a Restricted Airway
Have you been told you have sleep apnea? Does your child wet their bed? Does your spouse's snoring make a good night's sleep impossible? Let's explore some of the causes of a restricted airway, which could be the root of various problems affecting your health.

I am well pleased with Dr. Max Teja and his staff. While reviewing my dental CT image, Dr. Teja noticed a spot on my carotid artery and strongly urged me to have it checked out. That began a chain of events that led me to see a cardiologist. After several diagnostic tests, I underwent a heart catheterization procedure and the placement of a stent in one of the arteries supplying blood to my heart. I am thankful to Dr. Teja. His attention to detail may very well have saved my life. Not to mention the fact that he's a really good dentist.

I loved loved loved my experience at the office today. I was extremely nervous to go in but everyone at the office made me feel so welcomed and taken care of. Veronica front/receptionist was extremely nice, caring, and was able to explain everything to me as far as billing and options for taking care of dental cost. Dr.Teja explained everything so very thoroughly to me.

Had a really bad tooth that needed to go. BTW first time having this done, didn't know what to expect. Thought it might be horrible. They took care of me here.... Overall it was a great first experience for me. I will recommend Dr Teja to everyone I know. His assistant was great as well, she helped quell any nervousness I might have been showing at first. And the receptionist was very welcoming. As soon as I walked I already knew I was in the right spot.

I had a really good experience at Dr. Teja's office, he and his staff are amazing. I went there specifically to get the Mercury fillings removed because I wasn't sure if they were all removed by my previous dentist, so Dr. Teja told me that he will drill (explore) one tooth and see if I have Mercury still, and If I didn't he wouldn't need to drill the other 3 teeth. I think this is the kind of Dr we all need, that's sincere and makes you feel comfortable during this type of difficult procedure. Also, he is SMART certified which is so important when it comes to removes Mercury fillings in a safe way. I will recommend Dr. Teja to anyone in a heartbeat
