About New Smiles Dental Implant Center Galleria

Implant dentistry sits at the point where surgery and restoration have to agree with each other, and that is the work this Chimney Rock office concentrates on. New Smiles Dental Implant Center Galleria belongs to a Houston group founded in 2012 and still owned by its founding dentists, among them Dr. Myoung Hwang, whose focus is surgical extraction and implantology, and Dr. Anh Pham, a University of Michigan graduate. Cases arrive for single implants, implant bridges, full-arch All-on-4 and All-on-X restorations, implant-supported dentures, and the bone grafting that frequently has to happen before any of it.

The decision in front of most patients is timing: extract now and wait, or extract and place in the same appointment. It depends on whether infection is present, on how much of the socket wall survives the extraction, and on whether the implant can achieve enough initial stability to be left undisturbed while bone integrates around it. Guided placement planned from advanced imaging is how that call gets made with some precision rather than optimism. A practice that performs its own surgical extractions has an advantage here, because the site is preserved with the implant plan already in view.

Grafting is not a formality either. Bone volume determines whether an implant has anything to hold, so a thin ridge either gets augmented or the plan changes shape. That should be laid out at the start rather than discovered midway through treatment, since it adds months to a timeline patients often assume is short. Implant-supported dentures deserve a separate question from fixed arches, too. They clip onto a smaller number of implants, cost less than a fully fixed bridge, and come out for cleaning, an arrangement some patients much prefer and others dislike from the first week.

The clinic is on Chimney Rock Road just south of Westheimer, minutes from the Galleria and convenient for Uptown, Tanglewood and Bellaire. Hours run Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm, an earlier finish than the group's Bellaire Boulevard office, which keeps Saturday morning hours instead. Spanish-speaking staff are available. The group works with most PPO plans and offers CareCredit and Cherry financing alongside an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a tooth be extracted and an implant placed on the same day?
Sometimes. It depends on whether infection is present, how much of the socket wall survives the extraction, and whether the implant achieves enough initial stability to be left undisturbed while bone grows around it. When those conditions are not met, the site is grafted and allowed to heal before placement. Imaging taken beforehand is what informs that judgement, rather than a decision improvised in the chair.
Why is bone grafting needed so often before implants?
Bone recedes once a tooth is gone, and an implant needs volume around it to be held firmly in place. Grafting rebuilds a thin ridge or a deficient site so a fixture has something to integrate with. It adds a healing stage of several months to the timeline, which is the main reason implant plans stretch longer than patients expect. Whether you need it is measured from imaging, not guessed.
How does this office differ from the group's Bellaire Boulevard location?
Both belong to the same independently owned Houston practice and share its dentists, so the clinical approach is consistent across the two. The Chimney Rock office runs Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm and is the more convenient one for Uptown, Tanglewood and Bellaire. The Bellaire Boulevard office in Alief keeps Saturday morning hours and pairs implant work with a fuller cosmetic menu.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an outstanding experience at New Smiles Dental Implant Center – Galleria. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and efficient. The office occupies its own building with plenty of convenient parking, and the facility is modern, spacious, and exceptionally clean. During my visit, I received a comprehensive dental examination, a professional cleaning, and two tooth-colored fillings. Dr. Lee personally performed both the cleaning and the fillings. She took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure I was comfortable throughout the entire appointment. Before administering the anesthetic, she applied a topical numbing gel to my gums, making the injections virtually painless. Her technique was gentle, meticulous, and reassuring, and I experienced minimal discomfort during the entire procedure. The dental assistant, Phuong, was equally professional, attentive, and well-coordinated with Dr. Lee, making the visit smooth and efficient. The front office staff handled all of my insurance paperwork seamlessly, allowing me to focus entirely on my appointment. I also learned that the practice was founded by Dr. Hwang and Dr. Pham, whose training at some of the nation’s most respected dental institutions is reflected in the exceptional level of care provided by the entire team. I am truly grateful to have found such an outstanding dental practice for both myself and my family. If you’re looking for a practice that combines clinical excellence, compassionate care, and outstanding customer service, especially dental implants, braces, cosmetics and general dentistry I highly recommend New Smiles Dental Implant Center – Galleria without hesitation.

I just had my filling and after my appointment. I feel immense pain of chew. I was sensitive to how and cold and I could not enjoy eating. I went there again the few days after that and I can chew more again but my jaw feel more tired and painful as usual. They are nice people. But not for me.

They were incredibly professional and quick! I initially came for a consultation, but they quickly started my implant. They’re also fantastic at assisting with insurance claims. The staff were so kind! They even gave me some milk for my pain and antibiotics since I hadn’t eaten beforehand. I would definitely recommend them, and the drive is definitely worth it!
