Is education just what the doc ordered??




This year marks the 3rd annual Timothy E. Gardner, D.D.S. scholarship award. The $500 scholarship was eligible to graduating seniors attending local high schools who are attending college in the fall of 2012.

Dr. Gardner and Dr. Burch presented the scholarships personally at each high schools’ senior awards nights held on May 21 and 22, 2012 . The winners were Landon Van Alstyne and Ryan Durham, Conroe High school; Jonathan Sanderson, Montgomery High School; Rhea Lobo, The Woodlands High School; and Sara Rene Adamik and Evelyn Gomez, Willis High School.

Each year they present at least 4 scholarships to local area high schools. Our selection is based on academic performance, extra curricular activity and willingness to serve others. We are pleased to see that rising generation gives them hope for the future.

Applicants were required to fill out a scholarship form which included their GPA, class rank, extracurricular activities, volunteer hours, etc., as well as two short answer essay questions.

We are also desiring to give a full tuition scholarship, for any state school in Texas, to a student who has lost a parent in military conflict. Fortunately no one found themselves in that circumstance this year, but please let us know if you know of anyone in the future.

Education is something we're very passionate about and we look forward to helping others achieve their educational dreams in the future.

We gave them something to SMILE about!



Dr. Tim Gardner’s 4th Annual Dentistry from the Heart event Saturday, May 19, 2012, proved to be a success. More than $24,000 worth of free dentistry was performed on the underprivileged of Montgomery County.

            Volunteers included Dr. Jacob Burch (associate of Dr. Gardner), Dr. Logan Wood, Mandy Hutchins, RDH and all of Dr. Gardner’s hygienists and staff. Lunch was provided by Rancho Grande and other donations were provided by Premier Wedding and Party Rentals and Concrete Contractors Supply of Texas.

            The event proved to be very rewarding for volunteers and patients alike. Registration began at 7:30 and patients were seen on a first come, first served basis. Procedures done free of charge included cleaning, extractions and fillings. Staff and volunteers thank patients for their patience and understanding throughout the day.

Dentistry from the Heart (DFTH) is a national non-profit organization with a simple mission: making people smile. DFTH was created to aid those in need, including the growing population of under-insured Americans.
