My full name is André Maurice Legault; it’s a French name, my father was French Canadian, but most people call me Andy and I consider myself a Texan. I am 67 years old. I grew up in Richardson, Texas, with four sisters. My mom who is 96 (my father passed away in 2001) still lives in the house I grew up in with one of my sisters. I graduated from Jesuit College Preparatory School in Dallas, The University of Texas in Austin with a bachelor’s degree, The University of Texas at Dallas with a Masters, (I was working on a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology but changed when I decided to go To Dental School) and Baylor College of Dentistry with DDS in 1981 (Which is now called Texas A&M) I have been practicing dentistry for over 39 years. I owned my own practice in Hurst, Texas, for 27 years then sold it to go into corporate dentistry. I have worked for DentalOne, Coast Dental, (on the base at Fort Hood) Pacific Dental, and Apex Dental Partners, and now Today Dental.

My wife Nancy and I have been married 43 years and she was a blind date! She played basketball and volleyball at what was then NTSU but is now UNT with one of my sisters who introduced us. We have four grown children of whom we are enormously proud. Lindsay, our oldest is 38 and is married to Daniel, a financial adviser. She is a graphic illustrator and designer. They blessed us with two curly red-headed girls, Kyla (age 9) and Finley (age 7), and a sweet happy boy Steele who is 5. They live five blocks from my mom. David is 36, a Navy veteran who was a submarine officer trained in nuclear science and engineering, works for Pioneer Resources in Las Colinas. He volunteers for Big Brothers and teaches a Bible study at his church. Bryan is 34 has a twin sister (he is 6’6″ she is 5’6″) and is also a Navy veteran; he was an officer on a destroyer and later an aircraft carrier. He and his wife, Emily, live in Midland, they blessed us with Lydia (age 5), who was born on my birthday, and Luke, who is 3. Emily is a civil engineer and Bryan is a chemical engineer. Bryan works for the same Company that David does. Megan is 34, she is Bryan’s twin and also lives in San Antonio and is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and board certified in Orthopedics. Nancy and I are big fans of the Cowboys, Mavericks and Rangers! I got to go see the Cowboys when they used to play in the Cotton Bowl. As a matter of fact, I’ve watched all of these teams in all of their respective stadiums. I am humbled and grateful that God has given me the gift of dentistry. It gives me a vehicle with which to be a servant. I hope to ease your fears, make you comfortable, and be someone you can trust to improve your dental health.
