About Ronald K. Crabtree, DDS
As a young man Dr. Crabtree never knew a time when he didn’t aspire to be a dentist. With both a father and a grandfather who were dentists he represents the third generation to practice dentistry. After receiving his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University he earned his doctor of dental surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. After more than 35 years of practicing dentistry Dr. Crabtree has treated over 14,000 patients and has developed a reputation for his gentle chairside manner and sensitive yet honest approach to presenting treatment needs to patients.

Dr. Crabtree has been awarded both a Fellowship (FAGD) and a Mastership (MAGD) in the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD). The AGD is an organization that recognizes dentists who are dedicated to continuing their dental education beyond dental school. Dr. Crabtree is one of only a handful of dentists practicing in Katy, Texas who have been awarded the MAGD credential. He has received advanced training in cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry through Spear Education.
