Documented for dental implants in Houston, with sedation dentistry on the service list and 9 procedures on file.

Read full description

Implant Dental Center is an inner-loop Houston practice on Southwest Freeway, in the Greenway / Upper Kirby corridor that bridges the Galleria area and the Texas Medical Center. The location is well-positioned for inner-loop Houston patients who want an implant-focused practice that's central enough to reach from anywhere inside the loop without crossing major traffic arteries. The Greenway / Upper Kirby area has consolidated as one of Houston's denser professional and medical office zones, and implant specialists have followed accordingly across the past decade of inner-loop development.

You can have a single missing tooth replaced with an implant here, or move to a full-arch restoration when multiple teeth are failing simultaneously. Bone grafting and oral surgery are handled in-house, which keeps the treatment timeline tight when imaging shows your jaw bone needs structural work before a fixture can be placed. Full mouth rehabilitation is the relevant option when older fillings, crowns, and missing teeth have accumulated past the point where individual fixes are enough, and a coordinated implant-and-prosthetic plan delivers a more durable result.

If you live or work inside the loop — Galleria, River Oaks, West University, Rice Village, Greenway — and want an implant-focused practice with a central Houston location, this is a sensible first consultation in the research process.

On cost, inner-loop Houston implant practices typically price between the chain offices in the suburbs and the most boutique specialty centers, and a consultation here is where you get a real quote tied to your specific case. Patients researching cost-effective dental implants in Houston under $3,000, single tooth implant cost in Houston, TX, or the affordable implant dentist in Houston, TX bracket typically arrive with budget questions and leave with a structured breakdown that includes imaging, the implant fixture, the abutment, and the crown as separate line items.

Greenway Pediatric Dentistry - Houston, TX

6.0 km from Houston Downtown
51Smyleee

2990 Richmond Ave. Ste. 170, Houston, Texas

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 8 AM

Pediatric Dentistry focus in Houston, with sedation dentistry listed among 4 documented services.

Read full description

Greenway Pediatric Dentistry is a pediatric specialty practice in Greenway Plaza, Houston, led by Dr. Michael Posada Orozco (DMD, MSD, CAGS) and Dr. Andrea Lam (DMD, MSD, MA). The practice operates as a children-only dental office rather than a general dental practice that occasionally sees kids, which means the appointment experience is tuned for younger patients from check-in through chair time. The Greenway Plaza location serves a wide Houston geography including West University, River Oaks, Museum District, Museum Park, Rice Village, Upper Kirby, Heights, Tanglewood, Midtown, Montrose, Bellaire, West Oaks, Rice Military, Fourth Ward, Larchmont, and Riverside Terrace.

For everyday pediatric care, the team handles preventative maintenance and diagnostic care — routine exams, cleanings, and fluoride treatments alongside restorative treatment for cavities and damaged teeth, surgical procedures when teeth need to be removed or repositioned, and trauma management for kids who arrive after a fall or sports injury. Pain and anxiety management is a notable focus for the practice, with techniques tuned for younger patients who may not yet have the verbal capacity to describe what they're feeling. Emergency pediatric dentistry has its own scheduling slot for sudden tooth issues. Oral hygiene and nutritional counseling help families build long-term dental habits at home.

If you live in inner Houston and want a children-specialty dental practice with two specialists trained at the post-doctoral master's level, this fits.

The practice uses bioactive, BPA-free, bisGMA-free, and mercury-free dental materials — a specific position on materials safety that suits parents researching low-chemical-exposure pediatric dental care. State-of-the-art technology and minimized radiation exposure round out the clinic's modern setup. Searches that bring patients here include pediatric dentist in Greenway Plaza Houston, kids dentist near River Oaks, mercury-free pediatric dentistry, dental trauma treatment for children, and emergency pediatric dentist near Museum District. The clinic suits Houston families who specifically want a pediatric specialty practice and value materials-safety positioning alongside the standard pediatric care.

How to Choose a Dentist in Houston

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
