Our Doctors

Dr. John Bauer grew up in Arlington, Texas where he met his wife and business partner, Terri. Terri Ann Brentlinger was raised on nearby Brentlinger Farm, just outside of Mansfield. Dr. Bauer and Terri married in 1974 when Mansfield had just 6,000 residents. They both attended Texas A&M University in the ’70s, with John graduating from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1980 and Terri completing her dental hygiene degree a year later in 1981. Having always felt at home in Mansfield, they decided it would be an excellent place to raise a family and to build their dental practice. Decades later, they together run a thriving practice in the heart of Mansfield and attribute much of their success to the relationships they have built with their patients over many years. Many of those relationships span three or more generations. Though Mansfield has more than doubled in size since the early ’70s, Dr. Bauer and Terri remain dedicated to their community and the families who live there. In fact, family is so important to them that they made it a part of their practice’s name, Mansfield Family Dentistry.

Dr. Cody Bauer was born and raised in Mansfield, Texas where his father and mother have been running the dental practice for over thirty years. Dr. Bauer graduated from The Oakridge School in Arlington, Texas in 2000. He then attended the University of Texas in Austin where he was a member of the fraternity Lambda Chi Alpha and was also very active in the Texas Wesley student ministry organization. During college, he chose to follow in his father’s footsteps and join the field of dentistry. After earning a Bachelor of the Arts in Biology and graduating with honors, Dr. Bauer spent four years at Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, Texas, where he earned a DDS degree.
