“I just got my first tooth pulled at Healing Wings and the experience was fast, and I did not feel a thing. Im telling you who ever reads this that Dr. Valerie used the tools with true skill and precision. Also, most dentists wanted a fortune to extract those or told me I needed a specialist, the price was very manageable with insurance also. Thank you all everyone at Healing Wings Dental. ”

About Dr. Valerie Mukanga
Dr. Valerie Mukanga received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. Following her graduation, she completed a General Practice Residency program at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital in New York City.
Dr. Mukanga was one of the evacuees from Hurricane Katrina. During that tragic time, various people from the DFW helped her back on her feet. Therefore, following the completion of her dental education, she purposely returned to the Dallas area to give back to the community that selflessly helped her during one of the toughest times of her life.
Growing up, Dr. Mukanga encountered dental disparities herself, in her family and in her community. Dental diseases can not only cause pain, low self-esteem, but in extreme cases, death. Sadly, Dr. Mukanga lost one of her dear uncles due to dental infection. This is one of the reasons why she is determined to fight against dental diseases and have a positive impact on people’s dental health. Prior to pursuing her education as a dentist, Dr. Mukanga established Healing Wings Inc, a nonprofit organization that was based in Dallas, with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of proper oral hygiene. For Dr. Mukanga, dentistry is not an option. It is a mission.
Born in Brussels, Belgium, raised in Africa and having lived more than half of her life in the United States, Dr. Mukanga is well equipped to providing care to people of various backgrounds. She speaks English and French fluently and has some working knowledge of Spanish. Her belief is that language or culture differences are no barrier to people because a caring heart speaks louder than words.

November 28, 2025Michael L.Verified patient
I went for fillings. The dentist was INCREDIBLY ROUGH ON MY TEETH AND DID NOT LISTEN TO ME!!
I kept begging ava owing hey know she's hurting me! And I kept begging for the assistant to suction the saliva. Either she couldn't see the in the back of my throat or she just didn't care!
No matter how I tried to espress to both the dentist and the assistant, NEITHER ONE OF THEM LISTENED!!
I will NEVER go back to this place again!!
The filling was not done right AT ALL! My teeth are hurting now, as if it wasn't filled properly. She didn't use the proper tools to "set" the fill after putting the matter in the open space.
She kept poking in my tooth as if that would've helped?? That shouldn't be.
AGAIN DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!!!

The whole staff was kind, friendly, and informative. I get very anxious as the dentist, and each person on staff explained what they were doing before and while they did it so there were no surprises.
I was slightly uncomfortable when I arrived and saw quite a bit of bible verse decor on the walls. I’m not religious, and I wasn’t sure if I’d be made uncomfortable, however no one mentioned religion to me and I was fully comfortable with the staff.

January 21, 2025Yolanda L.Verified patient
Fantastic dentist! Did not just go through the motions, they were very thorough and was truely interested in my optimal dental health. The only thing I didn't like was them taking my weight at check in. Why does my weight matter in a dentist office?
January 17, 2025Ian B.Verified patient
She is a wonderful dentist that's also patient with her staff. I really need to have a dentist that makes me feel comfortable and she (plus her office manager/assistant) make me feel like that. Although she is a distance from where I stay, I do not mind in the least to visit her office for anything I need. She's knowledgeable and super nice. I had to get a traditional root canal but I knew of a more thorough method (called gentle wave) and she said I taught her something new! 9/10.
November 16, 2024Marjoy K.Verified patient
I feel very anxious about going to the dentist. However, going to Dr. Valerie's office gave me hope that there are still compassionate and empathetic dentists still out there! The office was clean, staff was friendly and patient. Honestly, my favorite part is having the television on the ceiling for patients. I will definitely be going back to her office.
November 5, 2024Marjoy K.Verified patient
I haven’t been to a dentist in years and Dr. Valerie Mukanga and her staff were very patient with answering all of my questions, they were thorough when explaining treatments and procedures and very clear with insurance coverage. They were all incredibly professional and kind. I would definitely recommend anyone to choose this office for their dental needs!
May 2, 2024Kimberly S.Verified patient
Very pleased with the doctor and how efficient the team was. The doctor was thorough and found the best option for me. I actually felt like I was heard and appreciated, unlike my past dentist such as Mint Dentistry. Best part was price.

November 26, 2023Herientta I.Verified patient
The service and the staff were great but I was there for over 2 hours and just barely made it to work on time. I made sure to ask how long the next appointment will be so I know what I’m getting into.

The staff is amazing! As soon as I came thru the door and told them I had an appointment they took care of me and asked me to sign in very easy and fast. My wait time in the lobby was less than 10 minutes. Everyone was very polite and the Doctor was as caring and easy to speak with.

Clean and friendly environment within the office. The dental consultations were clear and everyone at the office is very personable and accommodating to patient needs.
June 7, 2023Sanita H.Verified patient
I enjoyed visiting this dentist. I have a fear of going to the dentist and all the staff made me feel comfortable and assured me through every step throughout my visit. I specifically chose this office because the doctor is African American. I was pleasantly surprised to see a diverse treatment team along with the doctor and I would recommend going there. The wait time was very short as well.

Best experience at a dentists office. I had my wisdom teeth removed and the healing was a quick and quite painless considering. I brought my son there for his appointment and he’s not afraid of the dentist anymore. The staff and doctor are wonderful and take great care of their patients.
