Hi y'all. I'm Magen Gehring—a registered dental assistant here at Downtown Dental Excellence. I've been an RDA since 2012 and a part of Dr. Sikes' team since 2019. I enjoy assisting and getting to be a part of making happy, healthy smiles for our patients. I love working in general dentistry and getting to do different procedures every day, from CEREC crowns to surgical extractions- I love it all.

Here at Downtown Dental, we are a close-knit team that strives to work great together and have fun while we do it. We keep up with all of the latest technology and continuing education courses in order to provide the best dentistry possible to our community.

As my patient, you will always be cared for the same way I would care for my very own family member, and with 4 kiddos of my own and my own personal experience working in strictly pediatrics for parts of my career,  I make it my mission to try to make your child’s experience as easy as possible during treatment.

I live in Coldspring on the lake where my husband, Chris, and I raise our four sons, Hunter, Gauge, Ryder, and Colt. We love getting to raise our children in a small town. The kids keep us very busy with sports (select baseball and rec basketball) and other extracurricular activities. Our favorite sport is baseball, and of course, the Astros! Go Houston! If we’re not at a baseball tournament, you can usually find us on the lake. We enjoy fishing, water sports, or just cruising to Pine Island. Our boys also love riding their ATVs and hunting.

My favorite thing to do is to spend time with family, watch my boys play sports, and make memories -  big and small. Being a boy mom, working mom, and wife keeps me super busy, but in my spare time, I love to binge-watch my favorite shows and go shopping. My family and I enjoy church on Sundays.

I am very blessed and thankful to work with Dr. Sikes and can't wait to meet you when you come to our practice.
