About Texas Dental Implant Center of Houston
A single-specialty implant practice makes a different trade than a general office: a narrower menu, and far deeper repetition within it. Texas Dental Implant Center of Houston is built around Dr. Michel Azer, a board-certified periodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology who trained at Boston University, and implant surgery is effectively the entirety of what the practice does. Cases tend to arrive from the harder end of the range: arches with little remaining bone, implants that have failed elsewhere, and patients who have already been told they need extensive grafting before anything can begin.
Before booking, most people are weighing two things at once, whether the surgical plan is sound and whether the number they are quoted is the number they will pay. On the first, treatment is planned from CBCT scans with digitally guided placement, so implant angle and depth are worked out against your actual bone anatomy rather than judged freehand in the chair. On the second, opening prices are published outright — for a single implant, for an implant-supported denture, for an All-on-X full arch — so the first conversation starts from a figure instead of a guessing game, with the honest caveat that grafting, extractions and sedation all move the final total.
Zygomatic implants sit within the range here and are worth understanding. When the upper jaw has resorbed too far to hold conventional fixtures, anchorage can be taken from the cheekbone instead, which sometimes avoids a long sinus-lift-and-heal sequence. Zirconia implants and IV sedation are also offered, the latter mattering most for lengthy surgical appointments and for patients whose avoidance of dentistry is the reason the arch deteriorated to begin with.
The office is in Suite 110 at 1811 Bering Drive, a quiet street just off Westheimer near the Galleria, reachable from Memorial, Bellaire, West University and Uptown without touching a freeway. Weekday hours run 8am to 5pm. Implant emergencies, a loose fixture or a fractured provisional among them, are dealt with here rather than referred elsewhere, which is a practical argument for staying with one surgical practice through a long case.
Implant surgery is the whole of what this Bering Drive practice does, led by board-certified periodontist Dr. Michel Azer. Single implants, All-on-X full arches, implant-supported dentures, zygomatic implants, bone grafting and guided placement are planned from CBCT imaging, with IV sedation and zirconia implants available. Starting prices are published openly, though grafting, extractions and sedation move the final figure. Suite 110, 1811 Bering Drive near the Galleria, weekdays 8am to 5pm.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr Azer and his team. After seeing three other periodontists who either said my situation couldn’t really be fixed or recommended a lot of extra work that didn’t feel necessary, I finally found someone who truly knew what he was doing. Some of those other offices promoted so-called “advanced” periodontal treatments like LANAP, but still told me that my case probably wouldn’t improve much and that it wasn’t magic. Well, in my opinion, Dr. Azer actually does magic. He completely stopped my periodontal disease and was able to work out problems that other dentists said wouldn’t work. From the beginning, he was honest, straightforward, and never tried to overcharge me or push unnecessary procedures. That kind of integrity is rare. The surgery and stitches were painless. I honestly had no fear, pain, or even soreness afterward. The entire experience was far easier and more comfortable than I expected. Now I go for periodontal maintenance. He’s extremely skilled, gentle, understanding, and takes the time to make you feel comfortable and informed. Karen and the front office staff (Vicky) are also wonderful, very friendly, welcoming, and easy to schedule with. My only complaint is that he’s hard to find, I think he needs better advertising or online visibility. He is far better than the other dentists I consulted with before finding him, and more people should know about him. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with periodontal disease or needing a periodontist they can truly trust. Thank you, Dr Azer!
Very glad I chose Dr. Azer. They made the process easy. Very happy with my implant!
Dr. Azer did an extraction of one of my top front teeth (#8) last week, along with an implant, and a temporary crown. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with his amazing work, his super skilled staff, and the entire experience. Believe it or not, I never felt a bit of pain and—even more amazing—I had zero post-operative soreness. This guy is the real deal. If there were a Nobel Prize for dentistry, I would nominate Dr. Azer.
The Dental Implant proceedure went perfect and Implants looks great. But, the arch itself is substandard in design. The arch is like two different types of teeth hooked together so when you run your tongue across you teeth from side to side you feel two different types of teeth on one as opposed to the other side. So.... i went back for the Zirconia Arch and voiced my concern and looking my arch the Doctor acknowledged that they were completely different. I asked the doctor to make sure the New Zirconia Arch ($5000) teeth matched the left side to be the same on both sides. When the teeth were finished i traveled back and when installed i noticed that the new arch was exactly the same as previous arch. NOTHING WAS CHANGED. The doctor said i could leave them and travel back at a later date... i declined as i had a family reunion to attend. In addition, there are 6 screws Reunion are covered by plugs.... 2 of those fell out during my Reunion Visit. I have complained twice to staff about my concerns, both times the staff stated they would discuss with the doctor.... no one has ever contacted me.... ive been waiting a year.
Dr. Michel is exceptional; he takes the time to thoroughly explain everything and answer every question with a warm, caring, and welcoming attitude.
Dr. Azer took amazing care of my family member, and we couldn’t be more grateful. He’s incredibly kind, patient, and thorough in explaining every detail. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and their comfort. The results look beautiful — such a confident, natural smile! I’d recommend Dr. Azer to anyone who wants excellent care from someone with real compassion and skill.
Started seeing Dr Azer a few years ago and had three implants done. Can’t say enough about how pleased we are with the quality of care our family has received. Dr Azer and his team are truely exceptional, from start to post-care. Thank you!
Dr. Azer is truly one of the best clinicians I have ever met. His attention to detail and commitment to providing exceptional patient care are second to none. From the moment you walk into the office, you are greeted by a warm and professional staff who ensure you feel comfortable and well cared for throughout your entire visit. Dr. Azer takes the time to thoroughly explain each step of the procedure, making sure you understand exactly what will happen and feel at ease before, during, and after the surgery. His calm demeanor and precision create an atmosphere of confidence and trust, and it’s clear that he genuinely prioritizes the well-being of his patients. Every aspect of the experience—from the cleanliness of the facility to the efficiency of the team—reflects a standard of excellence that sets this practice apart. I cannot recommend Dr. Azer and his team highly enough for anyone seeking expert care and an outstanding patient experience.
I recently had dental implants done and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and professional, making me feel comfortable and at ease. Dentist took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood the procedure. The office was clean and well-maintained, and I was impressed with the latest technology used during my treatment. The procedure itself was much easier than I expected, and the recovery time was minimal. I felt supported throughout the entire process, and the results are fantastic. My new implants look and feel completely natural! I highly recommend this place for anyone considering dental implants. The team is experienced, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your comfort and results. Thank you for giving me a beautiful smile again!
