The dental services offered at URBN Dental in Katy include general, cosmetic, restorative, and emergency dental care.

General Dental Care

General dental care refers to routine services recommended for optimal oral health.

• Checkups: You should have a dental checkup every six months to assess your oral health. Your dentist can catch potential problems before they progress, preventing the need for extensive cosmetic and restorative dental services. 
• Dental sealants: We use dental sealants to protect tooth enamel, preventing damage to enamel that can lead to cavities. 
• Fillings: Fillings are an effective way to stop tooth decay from spreading and strengthen your tooth. We use safe, BPA-free dental fillings that blend with the color of your teeth, ensuring you get the best cavity treatment available and your teeth look fantastic. 
• Oral cancer screening: Early detection gives you the best chance of making a full recovery from oral cancer. 
• Periodontal care: Gum disease affects 42% of American adults and is the number one reason for tooth loss. Receiving periodontal care can prevent gum disease from becoming severe and resulting in tooth loss or the need for gum tissue regeneration.
• Teeth cleaning: Teeth cleaning is a practical part of preventative oral healthcare because professional teeth cleaning safely removes debris and harmful substances from your teeth, such as bacteria, plaque, and tartar, which damage your gums and teeth. Professional teeth cleanings also ensure your teeth look their best. 
• Wisdom teeth extractions: Suppose you don’t have enough room for your wisdom teeth to erupt safely. In that case, these molars can damage neighboring teeth and cause misalignments. Wisdom teeth extractions are an effective way to prevent complications from impacted wisdom teeth.
• X-Rays: We use digital X-rays to diagnose dental issues and determine the best course of treatment, ensuring you receive custom, individualized care for your dental needs. 

Cosmetic Dental Care

Some people mistakenly think cosmetic dentistry involves services sought just to improve your appearance. Although improving your appearance is one of the benefits of cosmetic dentistry, most cosmetic dentistry services address dental health issues. For example, you may need tissue grafts as part of your treatment for gum disease, but tissue grafts can also improve the appearance of your gums. Porcelain dental crowns and bridges are restorative because they replace missing teeth and offer the cosmetic benefits of improving your smile.

Gum Reshaping 

The size and shape of your gums affect the appearance of your teeth. With a laser gingivectomy, we can correct the shape of your gums, eliminating overgrowth to ensure your gums and teeth look their best. 

Dental Bonding

Cracks and discoloration affect your tooth’s appearance. Your cosmetic dentist can use resin to cover cracks and chips, eliminate discoloration, and even compensate for unsightly gaps between teeth.

Dental Veneers

If you’re familiar with press-on nails, you have some idea of what dental veneers are like and how they work. They’re manufactured veneers that go over the front of your tooth. Dental veneers are sturdy dental appliances made from porcelain or composite materials, and they’re customized to match your teeth so they blend in. 

Teeth Whitening 

One look at before and after teeth whitening photos reveals the benefits of teeth whitening. Teeth whitening is an effective way to ensure your teeth look amazing and that you enjoy the confidence of having an incredible smile.

Tissue Grafts

For cosmetic purposes, tissue grafts address uneven gums and missing gums that leave roots exposed.  

Invisalign

Misalignments and gaps can lead to severe oral healthcare issues because misalignments and gaps make it more challenging to thoroughly clean teeth, increasing your risks of cavities, periodontitis, and tooth loss. Misalignments and gaps also contribute to speech issues and jaw pain. 

Once, braces were the primary way dentists addressed misaligned teeth or gaps between teeth. Today, Invisalign enables you to correct your teeth alignment and eliminate gaps without the embarrassment that comes from conventional braces. You can take Invisalign aligners out, making it easier to clean your teeth. Invisalign works faster than traditional braces, so you’ll complete your treatment faster. 

Restorative Dental Care 

Restorative dental care involves dental care for missing or damaged teeth. Restorative dental care procedures offered at URBN Dental in Katy include the following:

• Bridges
• Crowns
• Dental implants
• Dentures
• Root canal
• Scaling and root planing

Sleep Apnea Treatment

It’s common for people with sleep apnea to stop and restart breathing repeatedly throughout the night. This interferes with the person’s ability to get the rest they need and jeopardizes their physical and mental health. Do you struggle with fatigue, depression, or moodiness? Do you have diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or metabolic syndrome? These are some of the serious health matters that could indicate you have sleep apnea. 

Although sleep apnea is estimated to affect 30 million people in the U.S., only ⅕ of those with sleep apnea are diagnosed, which means 24 million people aren’t receiving treatment for their condition. 

Our highly-trained dentists have the qualifications and experience required to assess your condition. Come in for a sleep apnea consultation to determine if this serious sleep disorder is compromising your health and quality of life. If you have sleep apnea, we’ll develop an individualized treatment plan using the Vivos appliance to adjust your jaw’s position and keep your airway open while you sleep.

Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies are unexpected events that can occur at any time of the day or night. At URBN Dental in Katy, we understand most dental emergencies require immediate care. That’s why our office welcomes walk-in patients and keeps slots available Monday through Saturday to ensure we can provide prompt treatment for your dental emergency.

You can also call URBN Dental’s emergency line and speak to our on-call dentist. We have dentists available 24 hours a day, every day of the week, enabling you to get immediate care.
