Education & Experience

Dr. Basil Moukarim has been practicing dentistry in Houston since earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Baylor College of Dentistry in 1998. His academic journey began at the University of St. Thomas, where he studied Biology and Philosophy – a foundation that continues to shape his approach to care.

Over nearly three decades in practice, Dr. Moukarim has pursued continuing education in biological dentistry, oral-systemic health, airway dentistry, and biocompatible materials.

Dr. Moukarim is a proud member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) and the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM), reflecting his ongoing commitment to delivering the highest standard of patient-centered care. His experience, combined with a passion for lifelong learning, enables him to deliver advanced and thoughtfully individualized dentistry.

Practice Philosophy

Dr. Moukarim believes dentistry should support each patient's overall health and not just their teeth. His philosophy is rooted in understanding the powerful connection between oral health and whole-body wellness, recognizing that chronic inflammation, airway dysfunction, stress, and systemic conditions can all influence long-term dental health and quality of life.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Moukarim focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes behind dental concerns. From mercury-free and SMART-certified amalgam removal to biocompatible restorative care and airway-focused evaluations, every treatment recommendation is thoughtfully provided to support the body’s natural biology and healing process.

Patient education is at the core of his approach. Because Dr. Moukarim believes empowered patients make confident, informed decisions, he takes the time to explain not only what he recommends but also why, building trust and lasting relationships along the way.

Away From The Office

When he isn't caring for smiles, Dr. Moukarim is a devoted husband and proud father of three, and considers family his greatest source of perspective. He is an avid tennis player, trail runner, and swimmer – pursuits that teach him the same lessons he shares with his patients: consistency, discipline, and trusting the process.

Known for his warmth, humor, and genuine curiosity, Dr. Moukarim brings a thoughtful, personal approach to every interaction. Whether mentoring colleagues, navigating complex clinical cases, or listening closely to a patient’s story, he is committed to helping people feel seen, heard, respected, and truly cared for.
