Houston, TX — Ronald G. Presswood, DDS, is being recognized
by Continental Who's Who as a Trusted
Dentist for his achievements in the Dental field and in acknowledgment of
his work in private practice.
With over 50 years of experience, Dr. Ronald G. Presswood is
a highly-rated dentist practicing in Houston, TX. His family-oriented general
dental practice emphasizes preventive oral care. In addition, he treats
patients with debilitating head, neck, and facial pain, which has become his
primary focus of practice study and research. For the past 20 years, his
practice has also been involved in the evolution and provision of dental sleep
medicine care, an area of dental practice that focuses on treating
sleep-disordered breathing conditions, including snoring and obstructive sleep
apnea.
To prepare for a career in dentistry, Dr. Presswood obtained a Doctor of Dental
Surgery in 1965 from the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston, now the
UT Health School of Dentistry. During his service with the United States Navy
from 1961 to 1968, he was trained in a dental/medical internship at Chelsea
Hospital in Chelsea, MA, and later served overseas aboard the aircraft carrier
USS Essex. Upon returning to the United States in 1968, Dr. Presswood opened
his private practice in Houston.
Since 2002, Dr. Presswood has prospered as a general partner of RGP LLC, a firm
that develops analog computer and digital-based design systems for dental
laboratory technology. He created an analog, fully dynamic articulator that
reproduces the paths of each individual's occlusal or biting function for whom
a set-up is made. These articulators are now being used in the construction of
fully balanced dentures.
As director of DSC Worldwide since 2007, Dr. Presswood is dedicated to educating
the consumer and professional markets about the benefits of CQR systems for
making dentures and fixed restorations individualized to patients' occlusal and
facial functional patterns.
Dr. Presswood has imparted his knowledge as an Adjunct Professor with the
University of Texas Dental School in Houston for over four decades, from 1974
to 2016. He has volunteered for numerous organizations, including Ciudad del
Nino San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato, Mexico; as a member of Houston Proud;
as a church schoolteacher and fellowship sponsor; as a football and baseball
coach with the Memorial Church League; and as founding president of the
Exchange Club of Memorial. According to Dr. Presswood, his career highlight has
been his commitment to creating a postgraduate education program for dentists
and some physicians that continues today, mainly in England.
On a personal note, Dr. Presswood enjoys spending quality time with his two
children in his spare time. In light of this recognition, the doctor would like
to thank his wife, Judith (Judy) Dyer Presswood, for her love and support. He
also acknowledges his mentor, Dr. Henry Tanner, in memoriam.
