About Cure Dental
Cure Dental is a family dental practice located in Belton, Texas, offering general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, emergency dental care, and sedation dentistry, among other services. The practice is managed by Dr. Tejas Patel DDS and serves patients of all ages. Because dental practices collect identifying information such as Social Security numbers and government-issued IDs to verify patient identity and process care, the type of data exposed in this breach carries a meaningful risk of identity theft and fraud.
What Happened?
Cure Dental was listed in a Texas Attorney General data security breach report (record ID BR-0005176), published on July 17th, 2026. The filing indicates the breach occurred and was discovered on June 25th, 2025, and affected 878 individuals. The information involved includes names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, other government-issued ID numbers such as passports and state ID cards, and dates of birth.
Cure Dental notified affected consumers through U.S. mail, email, print media publication, and a posting on the company website. The Texas Attorney General filing does not specify the attack vector or method. No independent news coverage, ransomware group claims, or related litigation were identified in public reporting. Notably, the breach was discovered in June 2025 but was not published on the Texas OAG website until July 17th, 2026—a gap of approximately twelve and a half months between discovery and the OAG publication date.
