About David Vela, DDS

Welcome to our family at All Smiles Dental Center. I am excited to meet and get to know each and every patient that comes through our office. Since I was a child, I always knew I wanted to do something in the health care profession. As I explored my options, I gravitated directly toward dentistry. I truly feel blessed to be able to go to work every day and do something I love. Perhaps my favorite part about dentistry is being able to form personal relationships with patients and interact with them on a regular basis. Originally from Corpus Christi, Texas, I graduated from Mary Carroll High School. I moved to San Antonio after graduation and obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Biology at St. Mary's University. I completed my dental education with a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Dental School. In my opinion, regardless of what you choose as a profession, you can never stop learning. To keep up-to-date with the newest technologies, products and ideas, I attend continuing dental education courses regularly. I have completed over 200 hours of continuing education, from implant surgery and restorations to Invisalign and 6-Month Smiles. This ensures I can continue to provide only the highest level of care for you and your family. When not consumed by dentistry, family is the biggest part of my life. I have a wonderful wife, Stephanie, whom you will surely get to know at our practice. We have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Gabriella, and my amazing son, Luke. They have taught us to love like we never knew possible. I enjoy doing almost anything there is do outside, including all sports, golfing and hunting. My favorite teams are the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns. I cannot wait for the opportunity to form a new friendship with you, and I hope you will allow me to help you maintain a functional and beautiful smile!
