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.

OUR OFFICE

SMILE DESIGN STUDIOS
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.
