About Philip B. Miner, DDS
More than 31 years ago, Dr. Philip Miner purchased his dental practice because he valued the independence of charting his own course in life. He had seen his dad endure challenging changes in the corporate world, and he wanted to be in control of his own destiny. Dr. Miner was born in Boston’s North Shore and lived for a time in Manchester-by-the-Sea before his family moved to the Clear Lake/NASA area of Houston. Growing up, he loved sailing and playing various sports. He attended Texas Christian University on a music scholarship and graduated with degrees in both chemistry and biology. Dr. Miner went on to graduate from the University of Texas School of Dentistry in 1985, where he was a member of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society. Before buying his practice in 1987, he gained valuable skills and experience working as an associate dentist. Dr. Miner and our staff focus on providing high-quality, low-volume dental care in a fun, upbeat, and comfortable environment. Because of his natural artistic vibe, he loves performing cosmetic dentistry. He says that the most enjoyable part of his job is watching a patient with compromised oral health and poor aesthetics transform into a confident individual with a beautiful and healthy lasting smile.
