About URBN Dental Implants & Invisalign | Uptown

Two things bring most people through the door at this Uptown Houston office: replacing a tooth, and straightening the ones still there. URBN Dental Implants & Invisalign | Uptown is a general and cosmetic practice built around both, which suits patients who would rather not assemble a treatment plan out of three separate offices. Implants are placed using the Straumann system and the practice holds Sapphire-level Invisalign status. Filling in around those two are extractions and root canal treatment, crowns and bridges, dentures, gum therapy, veneers, bonding, whitening and same-day emergency appointments.

The decision worth thinking through before booking is order of operations. If teeth have drifted into a gap left by a missing molar, aligner treatment usually needs to come first, because an implant is fixed in bone and will not travel with the rest of the arch. Place it before alignment is finished and it can end up in the wrong position permanently. A practice that handles both can sequence them properly; a practice that does only one tends to sequence around itself.

Diagnostics run on digital X-rays and CBCT imaging, with Pearl AI, an FDA-cleared image-analysis system, used as a second read on radiographs. The Straumann implant system is worth a word as well: its practical advantage is less about the surgery than about parts availability, since a component needing replacement years from now can still be sourced from a long-established manufacturer. Periodontal care extends from scaling and root planing through to soft-tissue grafting, and sleep apnea appliances are offered as well. Emergency slots are held open for same-day problems such as a cracked tooth, a lost crown or sudden swelling, and access like that is often what decides where a household registers in the first place.

Suite 350 at 2400 Mid Lane sits in the Afton Oaks pocket between Westheimer and San Felipe, a few minutes east of the Galleria and within walking distance of parts of River Oaks. Weekday hours are 8am to 5pm and Saturdays run 8am to 2pm. Most insurance plans are accepted, financing through Cherry is available including interest-free options, and there is a discount plan for patients paying out of pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should Invisalign come before or after an implant?
Usually before. Aligners move natural teeth gradually through bone, whereas an implant fuses to bone and stays exactly where it is put. If teeth have tipped into a gap, straightening them first reopens the space properly and lets the implant go into its correct final position. Placing the implant first can lock in a compromise you cannot undo later without removing the fixture altogether.
What counts as a dental emergency worth calling about?
Sudden swelling, a tooth knocked out or loosened by trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, a fractured tooth with the nerve exposed, or pain that will not respond to over-the-counter medication. Same-day appointments are held for these. A lost crown or a broken denture is less urgent but still worth reporting, because a temporary fix protects the tooth underneath from shifting or fracturing further.
What is Pearl AI, and does it replace the dentist reading my X-rays?
No. Pearl is an FDA-cleared image-analysis system that scans digital radiographs and flags findings such as decay or bone loss for the dentist to confirm. It functions as a second read rather than a diagnosis, and the clinician still examines you and decides what needs treating. Its practical value is consistency, since it does not tire on the last appointment of a long day.

I have been a patient of theirs for almost 2 years. They took good care of me today. I completed an implant bridge that took a while because of my own scheduling conflict’s and they were very patient when I had to reschedule more than once. Dr Malik is professional and very human. Excellent dentist and the staff is kind and compassionate even When they have to put up a with me on a bad day, or two….

Prior to to this date, I wasn’t too happy with URBN Dental, however, today, Saturday July 18, at my 22:00p cleaning appointment, was a good day, thanks to today’s hygienist. She made my visit a pleasant one. My wait time was very short and she was very knowledgeable, polite, and had a great sense of humor. I cannot recall her name at this time. Thank you for an experience.

i spent months looking for a dentist. my toothache from a poorly done root canal years ago came back to haunt me and this clinic was the only place that actually got me in last minute and instantly figured out a plan for me. as soon as i walked in i felt safe. that's a big deal for me because dental clinics have always felt so devoid of comfort... front desk was so kind. the lighting put me at ease and the music... finally no elevator music or radio with ads in the background! Entering the office felt like a spa (i was nervous it would cost me more than i could afford just by the aesthetic alone) To the young woman who first scheduled me (im so sorry i forgot to ask for your name!) you were such a lovely face to see after a long chaotic search for my dental needs. The uptown location is where i had the pleasure of receiving treatment. Dr. Malik explained whats going on specifically without keeping me waiting, worried or left with more questions. very intuitive as well... she somehow knew the moments i needed a break, or breather at the slightest bit of discomfort i showed. i respect that so much because i barely had to talk with my mouth open thank you Dr Malik! you are kind, detail oriented, gentle, informative, and most importantly you are both emotionally and educationally intelligent with your craft (a valuable and overlooked trait that i find so rare in the medical field lately) all your dental assistants were funny and sweet and knowledgeable.

I had such a wonderful experience at URBN dental! The entire team made me feel comfortable and took the time to explain everything clearly, which really put me at ease. The appointment was efficient, thorough, and completely stress-free. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and take pride in providing excellent care. The place was clean, organized, and had a very relaxing atmosphere. Dr. William did really good and if you’re looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, gentle, and truly cares about their patients, you should go here too! Thank you for such a great experience—I actually look forward to my next visit!

I’ve been going to URBN Dental for years and they’ve been amazing! They’re extremely patient with me as I have teeth sensitivity and they listen to my concerns. They work with me until I feel comfortable with whatever’s being worked on. I truly appreciate them.

I had an awesome experience. This was my first time ever in my life doing any sort of dental procedure. Alexis helped me understand the procedures scheduled for me and was very graceful with her work. Dr. Malik is a Godsend herself. As an anti-needle person, she helped me ease into treatment and was very graceful. Def would recommend.

Overall was a great experience here at URBN Dental - Uptown. The people here were very nice and helpful throughout the whole process. I specifically want to shoutout Chelsea at the front desk who assisted me in breaking down the payment structure and what to prioritize for my future appointments. I had multiple follow ups I needed to sort out and I was able to do so with Chelsea’s help. Mysty was the Dental Hygienist that did my cleaning and was very helpful in explaining what was going on with my teeth. She showed me visuals on a screen to educate me to know how to take care of them better. I did not expect to be included and learn so much from my appointment, but I am very glad I did! I look forward to continue my dental care here at URBN Dental - Uptown.
