Personal Experience & Biography
With more than a decade of hands-on clinical experience, Dr. Rouse leads Open Late Dentistry & Orthodontics in Celina, Texas — a boutique-style practice built on comfort, technology, and compassion. A self-proclaimed “dental nerd,” Dr. Rouse is passionate about continuing education and innovation, ensuring every patient benefits from the most modern and comfortable approach to oral care.
Dr. Rouse earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston, where he also completed hospital-based oral surgery internships. His training emphasized precision, patient safety, and advanced treatment planning — skills he now brings to general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry every day.
Before founding his practice in Celina, Dr. Rouse practiced in both surgical and family-oriented dental settings, gaining a deep appreciation for the role that trust and communication play in helping patients overcome dental anxiety. His approach is rooted in education and empathy: helping each patient understand their treatment options while ensuring their experience feels easy and predictable.
Beyond dentistry, Dr. Rouse is devoted to his family — his wife Meghan and their two daughters, whom he jokingly calls “future dentists in training.” After falling in love with Celina during the town’s Halloween on the Square event, the Rouse family decided to make this community home.
Dr. Rouse is known for his balance of humor, humility, and technical precision. Patients describe his chairside manner as warm, patient, and engaging — the kind of dentist who takes the time to explain why something matters, not just what needs to be done.
When he’s not in the operatory, you’ll find him recording educational videos for patients, discussing new techniques with colleagues, or exploring local Celina events with his family.
Through his work at Open Late Dentistry & Orthodontics, Dr. Rouse continues to redefine what modern dental care can feel like — comfortable, personalized, and rooted in genuine connection with every patient who walks through the door.
