Dr. Sula Umansky has been providing a highly personalized approach to dentistry for more than 20 years. A lifetime of refining her artistry and surgical skills enables her to offer patients comprehensive dental services in one convenient office location at Katy Dental Arts. Her commitment to each patient’s care is complemented by her unique blend of experience, use of innovative technology, and outstanding service.

Dr. Umansky and her team not only treat multiple generations of families, but welcome and appreciate new ones, too. Her beautiful, modern office greets patients with bold and colorful art, limestone floors, and sparkling chandeliers, all designed to encourage relaxation and tranquility.

Meet the Dental Experts

Dr. Umansky is proud to have two remarkable dentists on her team. Their warm and compassionate demeanor along with their skills and experience enhance each patient’s dental experience.

Naila Zafer, DDS

Dr. Naila Zafer has been practicing general dentistry with Dr. Umansky for the past seven years and has now joined her at Katy Dental Arts. Dr. Zafer has special focus on cosmetic and prosthetic (crowns and bridges) procedures and is also experienced in the placement and restoration of dental implants.

Seeing her parents struggle with the availability of dental care in their home country of India for years and witnessing firsthand the effects on their health led Dr. Zafer and her sister to study dentistry.

“I like to see the direct impact dentistry can have on my patients by creating healthy smiles and improving self-esteem,” she explains. “I’ve been told I have a very good chairside manner, and give detailed, in-depth treatment options.” She has earned her patients’ trust and respect due to her compassionate and thorough treatment approach.

Dr. Zafer’s parents moved their family from India to Houston when she was 17 years old. She graduated from The University of Texas Health Science Center Dental School in San Antonio, Texas, in 2015, earning her DDS degree. She and her husband have two boys and have made Richmond, Texas, their home. Their family enjoys outdoor activities on weekends.

Ximena Camacho, DDS

Originally from Columbia, Dr. Camacho was raised in Katy and graduated from Cinco Ranch High School in 2004. After earning her undergraduate degree, she went on to graduate from The University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston in 2014. During dental school, she contacted one of her instructors, asking to shadow him in his private dental practice to gain experience. She worked as his dental assistant through college, eventually earning a part-time job as his main assistant. When he retired, Dr. Camacho took over his practice and the care of his patients.

She knew she was meant to practice dentistry when she woke up every morning excited about going to work. Currently, she splits her week between Katy Dental Arts and another practice. “I love showing patients what state-of-the-art, digital dental technology can do,” she says. “It allows us to show what the completed treatment results will look like without ever having to examine their teeth.” She strives to make every patient feel important, delivering personalized care and treatment plans for their specific needs.

Dr. Camacho’s cat, Chu Chu, is her pride and joy and has been her companion since dental school. Her free time is spent planning her summer wedding and working out regularly at Orange Theory.

Dr. Sula Umansky

Dr. Umansky graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history and chemistry from Texas A&M University. She graduated from the University of Texas Dental Branch, Houston in 2002 and opened her first dental practice in Katy in 2008. Since graduation from dental school, Dr. Umansky has completed more than 1,000 hours of continuing education in cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, implant dentistry, sedation dentistry, pediatric dentistry, endodontics (root canal therapy) and periodontics (gum disease treatment). She considers herself to be a lifelong learner, keeping current with the latest treatments and technologies to deliver excellence in comprehensive dental care.

Cutting-edge Technology and Equipment

Katy Dental Arts uses state-of-the-art dental technology and equipment to bring out the best in everyone’s smiles. “My patients deserve the very latest technologies to realize the complete picture of their oral health and treatment options,” Dr. Umansky says. “We’ve incorporated cutting-edge technology to not only make dentistry less stressful, but much more precise.”

The office uses dental advancements, including 3D cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT), allowing her to view the teeth, jaw, and entire head in multiple dimensions and angles. Low-dose digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, laser cavity detection, advanced oral cancer screening technology, and more are employed in many of her treatments and procedures.

Health and Safety

“Patients’ safety has always been a top priority,” Dr. Umansky states. Updated safety measures add an extra layer of protection to the office’s already-vigorous cleaning practices. “We take every precaution to prevent the potential contamination and spreading of germs. Our treatment suites are designed to provide patients with complete privacy,” she explains. “This feature is greatly enhancing our safety efforts, and dramatically reducing the opportunity for cross contamination.”

Five-star, Spa-quality Amenities

Luxurious spa comforts add a touch of class, making each visit a treat to look forward to. Warm blankets, eye pillows, paraffin hand-wax treatments, overhead entertainment, and Bose headphones that sync to patients’ personal playlists are comforts that make dental appointments a pleasurable experience.

“I’m so lucky to be doing what I love every day,” Dr. Umansky says. Recognized for dental-care excellence, her glowing reviews make her and her team a stand-out favorite among Katy-area residents. She and her staff look forward to welcoming and caring for new patients and their families for years to come.
