Spring Oaks Dental—Caring for the Spring Community Since 2016
At Spring Oaks Dental, we believe in breathing new life into a healthy, straight smile—on your terms. Established in 2016 by Dr. Kassi Klein, our practice began as a general dentistry practice in Spring, Texas. Over time, our services expanded, and today we are a trusted dental office for a wide range of dental and airway-focused services. Central to our approach is treating the mouth as part of the whole body. We focus on sleep, breathing, and long-term health.
With a modern office, calm atmosphere, and a cheerful team, we’re making dental care easier than ever. Beyond treatment, we provide information and education at every step so you can feel empowered to make confident decisions when it comes to your oral health.
The Spring Oaks Dental Difference
At Spring Oaks Dental, patients feel at ease the moment they walk in. As a trusted dental office serving the community since 2016, you can be confident you’re in safe hands.
Airway-Centered Dentistry
We go beyond the surface. By looking at how the teeth, jaws, and airway work together, we treat more than symptoms and often help improve sleep and breathing as well as smiles.
Education First
We take the time to explain what we see and why it matters. Patients leave with clarity, not confusion, and can make choices that feel right for their own health.
Judgment Free Care
Our practice was built on compassion and respect. There’s no need to worry if you haven’t been to the dentist in a while—we’re here to help.
Dr. Kassi Klein
Dr. Kassi Klein’s path into dentistry began with her love of smiles. Growing up, she often recognized people by their teeth, and that fascination eventually led her to pursue dentistry as a career. She completed her bachelor’s degree in mathematics with a minor in English and a technical communication specialization from Texas Tech University. Dr. Klein then went on to complete her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston.
After dental school, Dr. Klein began her career in general dentistry and later expanded into dental implants. She ultimately found her true passion in airway dentistry, inspired by family experiences that showed how better breathing and sleep can transform lives. Today, Spring Oaks Dental is a trusted practice, recognized for its whole-body approach, linking oral health with overall well-being.
Dr. Klein has completed advanced training through the Vivos Institute, The Breathe Institute, Airway Health Solutions, and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry’s MaxiCourse. She is also SMART Certified. Known as both “the boss” and “the airway expert,” she brings a positive outlook and genuine care to every patient interaction.

Dr. Rachel Buckley
Born and raised in Houston, Dr. Rachel Buckley earned her bachelor’s degree in biology at Houston Baptist University, where she was honored as “Biology Student of the Year”. She went on to attend the University of Texas School of Dentistry, where she received the 9th District Dental Society’s Professional Collegiality Award. During her training, she completed additional coursework in soft tissue lasers and sleep appliances for treating sleep apnea.
Throughout dental school, Dr. Buckley also took on leadership roles, serving as American Student Dental Association (ASDA) Wellness Chair and Vice President of UTHealth’s Student InterCouncil. In these roles, she organized events promoting wellness and connection across the campus.
Dr. Buckley chose to work in biological and airway dentistry because she is a huge fan of treating the body in a natural way first, before using traditional methods of medicine. She says that being a biological dentist allows her to offer the most personalized dentistry to her patients. She uses biocompatible dental materials based on compatibility testing and a variety of conservative pediatric protocols that treat cavities and airway issues.
Every year, Dr. Buckley completes continuing education in airway dentistry, the latest restorative procedures, and advanced dental technology. This has included courses on Solea Laser Technology and Vivos Provider Training.

Dr. Blake Swonke

Outside of work, Dr. Swonke is newly married, and he and his wife—a fellow dentist—are embracing this exciting chapter of their lives together. While they don’t have children yet, their dog keeps them on their toes and brings plenty of joy to their household. In his free time, Dr. Swonke enjoys exploring new restaurants, working out, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. He even grows his own peppers to add a fresh touch to his meals. A fan of outdoor walks with his wife and dog, he finds these moments a great way to unwind and recharge.
Dr. Swonke has a hidden talent for growing peppers and a passion for photography, often capturing the beauty of nature through his lens. When he’s not behind the camera, you might find him watching Formula 1 races or catching the latest movie releases. Known for his upbeat personality and ability to make his team and patients smile, Dr. Swonke is not just a skilled dentist but also a positive force in the office.
