Dr. Simone Ellis

Simone is the owner of Smile Design Studios, Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Missouri City, Texas, and has established herself in her community as an authority in practice management. Simone earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Xavier University of Louisiana and her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Rutgers University School of Dentistry, formerly the University of Medicine and Dentistry, New Jersey. This vivacious leader is the founder and president of the Houston Minority Dental Society and is an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA), National Dental Association (NDA), American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), and the Greater Houston Dental Society (GHDS).

She also sits on the Board of Educators for the Dental Assisting School at the University of Everest, Houston Campus.

Simone actively volunteers with the Houston Make a Wish Foundation and the American Dental Associations’ Give Kids a Smile Day. Annually, through her practice, Smile Design Studios, Simone gives back to her community through various outreach initiatives.

​Most notably, the free dentistry and health fair. This program targets families within the Missouri City radius and offers free dental services, eye exams, and health screenings to over 50 families. Further, Smile Design Studios offers a mentorship program called Smile Design Studio Academy, which affords high school and college students an opportunity to learn more about the field of dentistry while actively shadowing dental professionals. Smile Design Studios also adopts a family for the holiday season and delivers food and supplies to families in need. Recently, Simone was awarded The 2018 Black Girl Excellence Medical Professional of the Year Award through Lifted Lifestyle.

Dr. Mikenah Joy Vega

Hello! I’m Dr. Mikenah Joy Vega, but you may call me Dr. Joy. Besides being apart of my name, the word ‘joy’ embodies the essence of what I strive to bring to your dental experience. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, I attended MCPHS University for my Bachelors in Science and then went on to receive my Doctorate in Dental Medicine (D.M.D) from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. I relocated to Houston, Texas in 2018, and I have fallen in love with Texas ever since. Knowing that the dentist can often be a frightening experience, my goal is to always help you feel comfortable, safe, and educated about your decisions.

My passion for dentistry comes from a deep understanding of how a great smile can transform your life and help you reach your goals and full potential. I’m more than happy to assist you, no matter your dental state. Starting with a comprehensive exam, I can diagnose and treat all your necessary oral health needs and deliver them in an enjoyable environment. Don’t like your smile? We can discuss that as well. There are many treatment modalities, from clear braces to veneers, that may be suited for your individual needs.

FINANCING & INSURANCE

At Smile Design Studios, we want all of our patients to receive the dental care they need to preserve their smiles and boost their confidence. This is why our office team makes it easy for you to use your dental insurance plan.

We work with most major dental insurance companies and understand the best way to maximize your benefits. Our team will help you determine your coverage limits and the optimal way to get the most for your insurance dollars. In most cases, we can file your claims for you and receive payments directly from your insurance company to make it more convenient.

You can also pay with most major credit cards or debit cards at our office or through our online payment system. And for those patients who are without dental insurance, under-covered, or those who have incurred expenses from cosmetic dental treatment, we also offer CareCredit at our Missouri City office – an additional third-party financing option that allows you to spread out your payments over time or at a more affordable pace that works for your family.
