Orthodontists in Georgetown

Monica Goldenberg, D. D. S., M. S., has been creating beautiful smiles since 2000. She graduated with Highest Honors from the University of Texas Health Science Center in 1997 and completed her Orthodontic Residency at the University of Texas in Houston in 2000.

She has received numerous prestigious awards including the Milo Helman Award, the R.G. “Wick” Research Award, Y2K Tri-School Dental Symposium – First Place, Award for Excellence in Clinical Dentistry, and the Award for Excellence in Prosthodontics.  Goldenberg has written several abstracts and has been published in the Journal of Dental Research. She is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, American Association for Dental Research, Texas Dental Association, and the Texas Women’s Dental Association.

In her spare time, she volunteers with the Texas Mission of Mercy, a mobile dental clinic that travels the state providing basic dental care at no charge to uninsured Texans. Her zeal for orthodontics and her altruistic heart for people characterize the orthodontic practice she began in 2003. Outside of work, Goldenberg is an avid reader and she also enjoys venturing on cycling trips with her husband, Marius.

Dr. Teresa Tran has been practicing dentistry for over 10 years and was inspired to pursue orthodontics after her own treatment in braces. Having experienced first-hand how orthodontics can transform a smile and boost confidence, she knew she had found her calling.

Dr. Tran’s educational journey began in the University of the Pacific’s accelerated pre-dental program where she graduated summa cum laude with her BS in just 3 years, majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry. Dr. Tran completed her dental education at the UCLA School of Dentistry, where she served as President of the Vietnamese Dental Student Association and traveled to provide dental treatment to the Vietnamese people. She was also selected to represent UCLA in a dental exchange program where she spent time at various universities in Japan. Immediately following dental school, Dr. Tran completed her master’s in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics at Loma Linda University before going on to pass a rigorous set of written and clinical examinations to become a board-certified orthodontist.

Dr. Tran receives the most joy in her work when she is providing the highest level of patient care. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, all things fitness, and spending time with her family. Dr. Tran’s husband is a local retina specialist in Georgetown, TX, and the two welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in April of 2023.
