Meet Dr. Alan Katende
Dr. Alan Katende was born in Ardsley, NY, and has lived in Missouri, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. He is proud to call Harker Heights his home.
He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington University in St. Louis, and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Howard University College of Dentistry in Washington, D.C. Dr. Katende received advanced training in general dentistry at Bronx Lebanon Hospital and completed an oral and maxillofacial surgery fellowship at Harlem Hospital, both in New York. To keep up with advancements in his field, Dr. Katende continues to take continuing education courses in implants, orthodontics, and oral surgery.
Dr. Katende’s philosophy and approach to dentistry, and family dentistry in particular, includes focusing on preventive dentistry. He believes that fluoride treatment combined with sealants — as well as dietary counseling at a young age — can prevent costly dental treatment down the road.
Dr. Katende loves playing sports and staying fit, and spending time with his family — his wife, Yasai, and their dog, Cairo. Dr. Katende is also passionate about music. He’s been playing piano and guitar since he was a child.
Plan Your First Visit with Dr. Katende
At Knights Family Dentistry, we value our patients’ time. Minimizing the number of visits to complete any necessary treatment is important to our practice. When more invasive treatment is needed, we strive to get it done the same day or in as few appointments as possible. You also won’t have to wait long between the time you schedule your visit and your actual appointment.
Dr. Alan Katende and Knights Family Dentistry look forward to being your go-to family dentistry practice for years to come. Please contact us anytime with questions or to make an appointment for your first visit.
