Dentist for the Houston Heights
Heights families make up a real share of our practice, and they mostly come for the same reason: one office that can handle a teenager's braces, a parent's crown, and a kid's first cleaning without booking three different practices across three parts of town.
Book a consultationThe drive south from the Heights
From Heights Boulevard or the 19th Street shops, the run south along Studemont or Montrose brings you across Buffalo Bayou and into Midtown in roughly ten to fifteen minutes depending on traffic. From the eastern Heights near White Oak, cut down toward the bayou and continue south. We are at 106 West Gray Street with parking on site, which families with a car full of kids tend to rate highly.
Orthodontics for the whole household
The Heights sends us more orthodontic cases than almost anywhere, and Dr. Bernard Boback, our orthodontist, is Harvard-trained with a UCLA residency. Traditional braces start at $3,500, Invisalign starts at the same $3,500 so families choose on fit rather than budget, lingual braces sit at $8,000, and retainers are $250. Many PPO plans include a lifetime orthodontic benefit that covers a portion, and we verify it for free before you commit to anything.
Everyday care that does not need a second office
New-patient exam and cleaning is $99, adult cleanings are $120, and children's cleanings are $95. What makes the trip worth it for Heights families is what happens when routine care finds something: a tooth that needs a root canal goes to our endodontist, a wisdom-teeth consult goes to our oral surgeons, gum treatment goes to our periodontist, all in the same visit sequence, same building, same records, no new-patient paperwork somewhere else.
Saturday mornings and school schedules
Getting three people to a dentist during a school week is its own logistical event. We are open Saturday mornings, 9 to 3, which is when a lot of our Heights families book back-to-back appointments and get the whole household seen in one trip. Weekday emergency slots are held daily for the broken tooth that does not schedule itself.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the drive from the Heights?
Roughly ten to fifteen minutes depending on traffic, south along Studemont or Montrose across Buffalo Bayou into Midtown. We are at 106 West Gray Street with parking on site.
Do you see children as well as adults?
Yes. Children's cleanings are $95, adult cleanings $120, and new-patient exam with cleaning is $99. Families frequently book consecutive appointments so everyone is seen in one trip.
How much do braces cost for a teenager?
Traditional braces start at $3,500 and Invisalign starts at the same price, so the decision is clinical rather than financial. Many PPO plans include an orthodontic benefit, which we verify for free before treatment.
