An experienced orthodontist, Dr. Roblee is a name synonymous with excellence in the world of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry. 

The doctor’s acclaimed career in medicine began at Baylor College of Dentistry (BCOD), where he laid the foundation for a career dedicated to enhancing smiles and transforming lives. Situated in Dallas, Texas, Dr. Roblee quickly gained recognition for his exceptional work in these fields, earning him a well-deserved reputation for excellence.

Committed to providing his patients with the highest level of comprehensive care, Dr. Roblee made the pivotal decision to return to his alma mater, BCOD, to pursue graduate studies in orthodontics. This crucial step in his journey solidified his expertise, making him a globally recognized authority in esthetic dentistry, orthodontic techniques, and interdisciplinary therapy.

Recognized as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, he is a respected member of numerous prestigious dental organizations, including the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics, the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry, and the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry, where he has served as its President—a distinguished position held by only 100 worldwide leaders in the field. His dedication to education is further demonstrated by his role as an associate clinical professor at Baylor College of Dentistry, where he has imparted his wisdom in both the restorative and orthodontic departments.

Beyond his practice, Dr. Roblee has shared his wealth of knowledge with countless professionals through over 500 professional presentations across the United States, Canada, Central America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Japan.

Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws. Orthodontists are responsible for identifying problems with the positioning of a patient’s teeth and with their oral development. They utilize the most advanced procedures and equipment available to ensure that every patient achieves a healthy and beautiful smile.

Outside of his professional commitments, Dr. Roblee is a visionary in the development of web-based collaborative software that facilitates his comprehensive approach to healthcare. His company, TeamLINKS.com, established in 1997, pioneered the first interdisciplinary digital network for clinical records.
