Dentist Near Spring Branch, Houston, TX

Care for the Whole Family

We see patients of every age, from a child’s first visit to grandparents who need dentures. You can ask the front desk to book family members back to back, so everyone gets seen on one trip.

Most visits are a checkup and cleaning. If we find a problem, we show you what we saw and talk about your options before any work starts.

Insurance and Payment

We accept Texas Medicaid for children, most PPO plans, and Medicare Advantage plans. We do not take DMO or HMO plans.

No insurance? Our $99 exam includes X-rays. You can also pay over time with CareCredit, Sunbit, or Cherry.

Getting Here from Spring Branch

Central Spring Branch is about 4 to 5 miles north of our office. The drive is easy and mostly on one road.

Down Gessner

Parking

Park in the shared lot in front of Randall’s. The office is a short walk from your car.

What a Regular Visit Looks Like

A typical visit pairs a cleaning with an exam. The hygienist cleans and polishes, the dentist checks for decay, gum problems, and wear, and X-rays are taken when they’re due for your age and history.

If anything needs treatment, you’ll hear what it is, why it matters, and what it costs before anything is scheduled. Many small issues can be watched rather than treated right away, and we’ll tell you when that’s the case.
