Dentist for Montrose, Houston

Minutes from the Menil, without the parking hunt

From the Menil Collection campus or the residential streets around Sul Ross and Branard, our office is a straight run east and takes only a few minutes outside rush hour. From the Westheimer side, come east and turn toward West Gray. The practical difference patients mention most is parking: we have it on site, so a dental appointment does not begin with fifteen minutes circling a block.

Cosmetic work for a neighborhood that cares how things look

Montrose sends us more cosmetic cases than any other area we serve, and the depth here matters. Porcelain veneers are $1,200 per tooth, in-office whitening is $299, and composite bonding is $350 per tooth, all planned with 3D smile design so you see the result before anything is done. Invisalign from $3,500 is popular with adults who want teeth straightened without visible braces. What you will not get is a hard sell: we tell you honestly when whitening alone is enough.

Specialist depth behind the cosmetic work

Cosmetic dentistry gets complicated when the foundation is not sound. A veneer over a cracked tooth or receding gums is a short-term result. Because our periodontist, restorative dentist, and oral surgeons practice in the same office, a cosmetic plan here can address gum health, a failing old crown, or a missing tooth as part of the same treatment rather than sending you elsewhere mid-project.

Booking around Montrose hours

A lot of our Montrose patients work in restaurants, galleries, salons, and studios, which means weekday nine-to-five is the hardest possible time to see a dentist. Saturday morning appointments, 9 to 3, exist for that. Emergency slots are held every weekday too, so a broken tooth on a Thursday does not wait until next month.

What Montrose patients come in for besides cosmetics

Plenty of Montrose neighbors use us as their regular dental office, not only for veneers. Cleanings, exams, fillings, and crowns happen here the same as anywhere else. The difference shows up when something turns out to be bigger than expected. A root canal is done by an endodontist rather than referred across town. Gum recession or bleeding that will not settle goes to our periodontist, Dr. Farhadian. Wisdom teeth, difficult extractions, and dental implants are handled by our oral surgeons. Older neighbors come in for implant-supported dentures, and parents bring teenagers for orthodontic evaluations with Dr. Boback. Because all of that sits under one roof at 106 W Gray Street, a checkup that turns into something more involved does not become a month of phone calls, a fresh set of X-rays, and an office where nobody knows your history.

Your first visit

A first appointment usually runs about an hour. We take digital X-rays, do a full exam that includes your gums and an oral cancer screening, and talk through whatever is bothering you. If you have records from a previous dentist, bring them or tell us who to request them from and we will handle it. What you leave with is a written plan. If it involves several steps, we tell you what is urgent, what can reasonably wait, and what order things should happen in, so you are never agreeing to a large number without understanding the parts of it. Questions are expected, not an imposition. Spanish-speaking staff are here every day. If dental work makes you anxious, say so when you book, because sedation options are easier to arrange in advance than to improvise on the day.

If you have a dental emergency in Montrose

Call us first, before you sit in a hospital waiting room for hours only to be sent back to a dentist anyway. A knocked out tooth, a cracked tooth, a lost crown, swelling on one side of the face, or pain that is keeping you awake are all reasons to phone (713) 322-7474 the same day. A few things help while you are on your way. If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown and not the root, and keep it in milk or in your own saliva rather than letting it dry out, because time matters with a tooth that may be replantable. For a lost filling or crown, keep the piece and bring it with you. For swelling, cold on the outside of the cheek and no heat. Being a short drive from most of Montrose means help is close, and emergency time is held every weekday.

Insurance, membership, and paying for treatment

We are in network with many PPO plans and we file the claim for you. Before treatment starts we verify your benefits and put the estimate in writing, so the number you agree to is the number you are working from, not one that moves later. If you do not have dental insurance, which describes a fair number of the freelancers, bartenders, artists, and small business owners in this part of town, ask about our in-house membership plan. It covers preventive visits and discounts other treatment for a flat annual fee, with no deductibles and no annual maximum to keep track of. For larger treatment, financing is available through Cherry, Affirm, and Sunbit, and you can review the terms before committing to anything. Nothing gets scheduled until you know what it costs.
