Tim Cashion, DDS, is a skilled and practiced Doctor of Dental Surgery specializing in General Dentistry. Dr. Cashion sees patients at C & C Dental, a premier general, cosmetic, and aesthetic dental practice in Sugar Land, Texas.
Led by Dr. Cashion and his wife Teresa Cody, DDS, the practice serves entire families, including children, men, and women in Sugar Land and the surrounding communities of Richmond, Houston, Missouri City, Rosenberg, Katy, Stafford, and Meadows Place, Texas.
Dr. Cashion first considered dentistry in elementary school. He remembers being teased for having spaces or gaps between his teeth. He knows what it’s like to feel self-conscious about your smile and the lack of confidence it can bring.
He asked his orthodontist about braces, but the orthodontist told Dr. Cashion his bite was acceptable and that he should talk to his dentist about a new procedure being done called bonding — this was the early 1980s. That decision changed his life.
Dr. Cashion had cosmetic bonding done to close the spaces and make a fuller smile and remembers the freedom it brought not to have to cover his teeth every time he smiled. His personal life experience and this single and monumental dental appointment cemented his decision to pursue dentistry as a career.
His goal is to develop the jaws to the proper size, align the teeth, and make room for the tongue, which improves breathing. Thus, not only is form improved appearance, but also functionality.
Dr. Cashion’s knowledge and expertise benefit patients but also provide tremendous satisfaction. It is with compassion and gratitude that Dr. Cashion serves his patients. Providing the best care for each and every patient is what it’s all about.
Teresa Cody, DDS, is a knowledgeable and talented Doctor of Dental Surgery specializing in General Dentistry and Aesthetics. Dr. Cody sees patients at C & C Dental, a premier general, cosmetic, and aesthetic dental practice in Sugar Land, Texas.
Dr. Cody never thought she’d end up a dentist. Her childhood dentist did not believe in anesthetics. This painful experience left her petrified and made her a challenging patient due to fear.
When Dr. Cody attended college, she went to an excellent dentist and discovered dental visits could be pain-free, even pleasant. Maybe that is why she is obsessed with finding new and better ways to make dentistry comfortable.
Her practice offers amenities like televisions to entertain patients during procedures and new anesthetics – no shot necessary. Dr. Cody also provides topical cream to numb gums, specially formulated and made by the compounding pharmacist. In addition, high-tech equipment makes every job more manageable. She has a special interest in orthodontics and aesthetics.
Dr. Cody and Dr. Cashion met in dental school. They have two children, Erin and Neal. Their marriage is a prime example of the phrase “never say never,” as Dr. Cashion, a born and bred Texas Aggie, swore he would never marry a Texas Longhorn growing up. As fate would have it, Dr. Cody is a Texas Longhorn.
Erin needed braces due to severely overcrowded teeth. Most orthodontists she talked to wanted to pull teeth. Dr. Cody decided that she would do it herself if she couldn’t have her daughter treated the way she wanted.
Thus began the new passion of her career. After hundreds of hours of orthodontic training, she established a goal of non-extraction braces whenever possible.
Neal has Down syndrome. Dr. Cody and Dr. Cashion understand the difficulties in getting dental treatment. They have a thorough knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the child’s needs. Often, there is severe crowding and no room for the tongue, resulting in subsequent speech problems and deep palates.
As an adjunct to their busy general family practice, Dr. Cody and Dr. Cashion are particularly interested in treating special needs children. They started a non-profit 501c3 called Changing Minds Foundation to support further research and treatment of individuals with Down syndrome.
