About Mehboob (Max) Teja DDS
San Angelo Smiles is a dental practice at 4331 College Hills Blvd. in San Angelo, Texas, working from a holistic premise: that oral condition and systemic health are continuous rather than separate problems. The practice screens for sleep breathing disorders alongside routine examination, and treats obstructive sleep apnea with custom oral appliances that reposition the lower jaw forward to hold the upper airway open during sleep, referring central and complex presentations onward to a specialist. Restorative work is done with non-toxic, biocompatible materials in fillings, crowns and other restorations, and silver amalgam fillings are removed and replaced with tooth-colored resin where a patient wants them out. Fluoride-free preventive treatments are offered, and crowns can be produced in a single appointment. Procedures are performed under one roof at the San Angelo office.

Common Questions
What does this practice mean by a holistic approach to dentistry?
Holistic dentistry here means examining how oral condition affects the rest of the body rather than treating symptoms alone. The practice asks about lifestyle, sleep, inflammation and possible exposure to toxic filling materials, and may raise diet, neck or jaw pain, or stress reduction alongside dental treatment. The stated aim is to uncover an underlying cause rather than address the presenting symptom in isolation.
How are existing amalgam fillings handled?
The practice states that amalgam fillings expose patients to mercury vapor, and it removes silver amalgam restorations and replaces them with tooth-colored resin fillings. One patient records coming specifically to have mercury fillings removed after being unsure whether a previous dentist had removed them all. Removal work is performed at the San Angelo office.
What materials does the practice use in restorations?
Only non-toxic and biocompatible materials are used in fillings, crowns and other restorations, on the practice's stated position that mercury in dental restorations is harmful. Preventive treatments are fluoride-free, on the reasoning that fluoride in large doses can have adverse effects, and the office can recommend natural toothpaste and mouthwash for home use.
How is sleep apnea evaluated and treated here?
Evaluation begins with symptoms, sleep patterns and health history, and includes an airway analysis of how the soft tissues of the mouth, throat and sinuses affect deep sleep. For obstructive sleep apnea the practice uses a custom oral appliance worn over the teeth that advances the lower jaw. Central sleep apnea is referred to a specialist, and complex cases are coordinated with a patient's other physicians.
What range of dental work is available at this office?
The practice states it performs cosmetic, restorative, periodontal and general procedures under one roof, from routine checkups and preventive care to orthodontics, dentures, periodontics, oral surgery and sleep apnea treatment. Dental crowns, same-day crowns and both partial and full dentures are listed among its services, with implant-supported dentures available where a patient is a candidate.
