At Eagle Dental Wellness, Dr. Beena John, Dr. Troy Rodriguez, and our team provide biological dentistry guided by core values that are the foundation for every patient interaction.
The Core Values That Guide Us
- Communication: We take time to explain our findings, discuss your options, and answer your questions thoroughly. You'll understand what we recommend and why, with clear information on risks, benefits, and alternatives for every treatment decision.
- Respect: Your health choices, concerns, and timeline matter. We respect your knowledge, and we partner with you to create treatment plans that align with your values and goals.
- Wellness: Biological dentistry recognizes that oral health affects the entire body. We think beyond the teeth to consider how certain treatments impact immune function, inflammation levels, and overall well-being.
- Integrity: We're honest about which treatments you need, what can wait, and what alternatives are available. Every decision is made in your best interest, and we’ll never pressure you into treatment you don’t want.
- Excellence: Biological dentistry requires specialized training, and we invest in continuing education and advanced technology to provide the highest standard of care.
- Compassion: We understand that many patients come to us having experienced dental anxiety, past negative events, or complex health situations. We aim to approach every situation with patience, gentleness, and genuine warmth and caring.
- Faith-Based Foundation: Our Christian values guide how we treat patients and each other. We believe in serving with humility, treating everyone with dignity, and approaching our work as a calling to help others achieve better health.

Dr. Troy Rodriguez
A native of Sugar Land, Dr. Rodriguez earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas before launching what has become a 30-year career dedicated to whole-body dental wellness. That commitment led him to pursue extensive advanced training in biological dentistry, earning him recognition as a certified Biological Dentist.
Philosophy and Personal Journey
His approach to dentistry shifted profoundly after his own battle with sleep apnea. Experiencing firsthand the life-changing results of airway-focused treatment and combination therapy, Dr. Rodriguez became passionate about addressing the root causes of sleep and systemic health issues rather than simply treating symptoms. That personal journey led him to pursue advanced training at the Wellness Dentist Institute and through the Spencer Study Club, with specialized study in Sleep Medicine and TMD.
Today, Dr. Rodriguez brings that philosophy to every patient at Eagle Dental Wellness, integrating biological protocols, airway diagnostics, and oral appliance therapy into a care model built on compassion and precision. He is a proud member of both the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology and the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine. Dr. Rodriguez looks forward to welcoming you and helping you breathe better, sleep deeper, and heal holistically.
