Larry Radney, DMD, MS
My profession allows me to make a positive difference in someone else's life each day. For our patients, these differences added up over time can make a beautiful smile bloom. This is what makes me so committed to my profession and to being the best that I can be.
Education
Prior to becoming an orthodontist, I received the following educational certificates:
BA Degree in biology — University of Texas at Austin (1970)
Doctorate in dentistry — Baylor College of Dentistry (1974)
General Practice Residency — San Diego Naval Regional Medical Center (1975)
Post-doctorate master's degree and certificate in orthodontics, Baylor College of Dentistry (1980)
Continuing Education
Continuing education helps me to reach the goal of a beautiful and healthy smile in a shorter period of time and with less discomfort for the patient. Orthodontics is improving each day, to provide better and faster treatment for the patient. Staying up to date with current scientific research …and clinical studies allows me to provide the best possible diagnosis and solutions for the orthodontic challenges I see each day.
For the past 30 years, I have been very involved with continuing education through courses given by the American Association of Orthodontists, Southwest Society of Orthodontists, graduate departments of Orthodontics at the University of Texas and Baylor and extensive clinical study with the Bayou City Orthodontic Study Club along with the Texas Orthodontic Study Club.
In 1989, after intensive study and examination, I was honored to receive Board Certification from the American Board of Orthodontics. I have recently completed a Voluntary Recertification process to further my education and improve my skills as an orthodontist. Continuing education is a huge part of my obligation to be the best that I can be for my patients!
Professional Experience
For the past 30 years, I have loved practicing orthodontics because it allows me to get to know our patients as people, and not just as a set of teeth. Making our patients feel that they are special and important in this world is a wonderful experience. Over the years of treating thousands of patients, it has been especially rewarding to treat the children of former patients.
I especially enjoy using the years of clinical experience that I have to create detailed individualized treatment plans for each and every patient and carrying those plans out with precision. This allows us to provide the best possible smile for that individual patient.
I truly enjoy getting to see the transformation in our patients' self–confidence and personality after going through orthodontic therapy. A corrected bite and a beautiful new smile can make such a positive impact on our patients' lives and their sense of self worth! They seem to become radiant with confidence and joy!
