Dr. Meredith Reaves Scott, DDS

Meredith Scott, DDS, MSD
As a dentist, I get to know many truly unique people, as our area is rich with highly skilled and intelligent individuals. My profession also enables me to cultivate and transform unhappy smiles into glorious smiles and hopefully have a positive influence on their future. Watching the kids develop and grow into teens gives me the opportunity to speak encouragement into their lives, help to instill confidence and responsibility, and create healthy smiles and healthy occlusion to last a lifetime.
Education
Prior to becoming an orthodontist, I attained the following education:
BS degree in Biomedical Science, Texas A&M University at College Station - 1996
DDS, University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston, graduating with honors - 2001
Orthodontic Residency and Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD), Saint Louis University, St. Louis, MO - 2004
Continuing Education
Continuing Education is an  essential part of being able to provide the best possible  treatment …outcomes using the most up-to-date techniques. I attend several courses each year presented by either the American Association of Orthodontists, Southwest Society of Orthodontists,  graduate departments of Orthodontics at Saint Louis University and the University of Texas. In addition I attend quarterly orthodontic study club meetings with The Water’s Edge Orthodontic Study Club and attend monthly meetings with The Ninth District Dental Society where the latest advancements in dentistry are often presented.
In 2010, after intensive study, case presentations and oral examination, I was honored to receive my Board Certification from the American Board of Orthodontics.
The continuing education that I receive allows me to provide our patients with the latest treatment modalities and advancements in orthodontics. In my continued pursuit of excellence, I seek to provide patients with all appropriate treatment options for their case and the expertise to execute these treatments with comfort and ease.
In the Practice
I love what I do because creating beautiful smiles is tremendously gratifying and interacting with kids of all ages is a thrill. I also get to meet and know some of the most interesting adult patients.
I appreciate the joy my patients bring to the office, watching their smiles and personalities bloom like a flower, and the maturing process and sense of accomplishment they feel after the long process and hard work they contribute.
I joined Larry Radney's practice immediately after graduating orthodontic residency. Dr. Radney continues to pour as much of his knowledge and experience into me as he possibly can. My first 3 years, we planned every patient's case independently of each other, then discussed the case prior to presenting it to the patient or parent. He has a strong tradition of striving for excellence and I plan on continuing that tradition for years to come. He is truly a fabulous mentor and a wonderful man. I am very blessed to continue having him as part of the practice and part of my life.
Family and Community
I grew up in Conroe, and love living in Seabrook. My wonderful husband is Craig Scott, who I married during my first year of dental school. We have a beautiful daughter named Sarah. We also have two ultra–friendly Tonkinese cats at home that act like they are dogs! When I'm not in the practice, I love riding my bike with Sarah in the attached trailer. I also enjoy making beaded and wire jewelry with Sarah. As a way of giving back to this wonderful community, I often give talks to local elementary schools, and give Booster support to patients' extra–curricular activities, resulting in sponsorship to many school sports and dance teams.
