At Sterling Ridge Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, Dr. Cummings and her dental team have created a safe space for children and adults alike, furnishing the office with relaxing heat and massage chairs for busy adults, noise reduction sets, and Xbox consoles for their pediatric patients.

At Sterling Ridge Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, comfort, safety, and state-of-the-art treatment is the team’s top priority.

Above all else, Dr. Cummings and her team want their patients to feel like family. That’s why everybody on the team lives around The Woodlands area, making it a point to reside in the community in which they serve.

Dr. Cummings and her team love seeing their patients around town and are always looking for new ways to give back through community service.  Dr. Cummings and her assistant traveled with a team of medical and dental professionals to Guatemala to serve the indigenous Mayans.
