About Dr. Scott
Before he was Dr. Scott, he was the quiet, well-mannered, hard-working young man at Coronado High School, Lubbock Christian University, Texas Tech University, and then The University of Texas San Antonio Dental School. He’s always been self-disciplined… shooting countless free throws in the gym, running cross-country, achieving rank of Eagle Scout, working long hours in the cotton fields every summer, and diligently studying to earn multiple recognitions for academics. When you combine a drive to do “the hard thing,” a determination to do “the right thing,” and an ability to recognize “the God thing,” you end up with a man of humility, character, and respect such as Dr. Micheal Scott.
Dr. Scott is a devoted family man, spending most of his free time with his wife- Allison, daughter- Megan, son- Brady, & large extended family. Dr. Scott’s hobbies include tinkering with the latest technologies, attending his kids’ sporting events, sharing his skills with his son’s scouting troop, landscaping (yes, he is the cultivator of our amazing lawn), making memories on family vacations, playing an occasional round of golf, and doing home improvement projects. Dr. Scott is not one who partakes in much rest… he’s very active and keeps a lengthy “to-do” list which keeps him happily busy. He is driven by the notion that satisfaction = stagnation… at work and at home. So whether he’s creating a new smile for a patient or fixing a broken sprinkler head, he’s always looking for a way to make things better.
Dr. Scott’s favorite scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3: 5-6.

Dental Health Coach
“The best way to predict your future health is to create it.”
Did you know that there are a growing number of dentists nationwide that are committed to a mission that is best captured by the quote, “The best dentistry is no dentistry”? These dental teams are focused on ensuring you have less time in the dental chair over your lifetime—not more.
It is not hard to imagine that people want to avoid being worked on if they can help it. This is true for most—from operating tables to dental chairs. When we experience our bodies breaking down from disease processes and experience discomfort, pain or don’t have pride in our appearance, we turn to the medical branches to fix us. In which, state-of-the-art treatments are available and serve their purpose.
However, it is often difficult to find the rare health-centered professionals who seek to help you create health and avoid breakdown in the future. You should know that there are two different ways to deliver treatment:
- Treatment that is needed to fix something that has gone wrong as part of the disease process.
- Treatment / partnership that is needed to support someone in their avoidance of future breakdown.
These highly committed teams focus on serving a lower volume of people more carefully and comprehensively to put them in a position of avoiding unplanned consequences of dental disease. These teams are committed to the Dental Health Coach model of putting patients in control and serving patient driven plans. Have you experienced the “medical / dental charts” of the past and present that are designed for the professional to monitor your breakdown and repair? Dental Health Coach Teams utilize specialized tools and technology designed to create charts for you to monitor your health creation and movement towards creating your own future. DHC teams actually pursue coaching courses to learn to partner with patients, because fixing teeth is the only skill set taught in dental school. Health creation is a wholly different process.
To the Scott Dentistry team, coaching means getting into partnership and pursuing what matters to the patient. This coaching model is the truly professional model of coaching—one in which you, the patient, decide what is important, and the Scott Dentistry team wraps ourselves around that clearly established target. Together we will create a healthier future for you!
