Mi Casa Dental - Houston, TX

70Smyleee

7011, Bissonnet Street, Braes Timbers, Houston, Texas

Closing soon · 2 PM

Tooth Decay Treatment isn't listed directly on profile, but this Houston clinic is documented for pediatric dentistry across 14 services.

Read full description

Mi Casa Dental is a two-doctor family practice on Bissonnet Street in Southwest Houston (77074), led by Dr. Adriana Salinas (DDS) and Dr. Luis Ortega (DMD). The clinic serves Houston's southwest neighborhoods — Braes Timbers, Braeburn, Sharpstown, Meyerland, Chinatown, Westbury, Brays Oaks, and Bellaire — with bilingual English-and-Spanish staff. The practice positions itself around accessibility for families across the diverse southwest Houston community, with same-day appointments and Saturday availability for patients whose weekday schedules are tight.

For general and restorative care, the team handles exams, cleanings, and fillings alongside traditional braces, root canal treatment, dental crowns, and dental implants. Restorative work covers dentures and partial dentures, deep cleanings for periodontal needs, and tooth extractions including wisdom tooth removal. Children's dentistry runs alongside adult care, so the whole family can be seen at one practice. Cosmetic dentistry includes professional teeth whitening for in-office brightening. Bone grafting prepares the jaw for future implant placement when bone volume has been lost. TMJ treatment and emergency dentistry round out the in-house service mix, with the latter giving patients with sudden tooth pain a same-day option rather than a multi-day wait.

If you live in southwest Houston and want a bilingual family practice with same-day and Saturday appointments, this fits.

The clinic accepts most major dental insurance plus Medicaid United Healthcare, with payment plans for uninsured patients — a posture that suits the southwest Houston community's mix of insured and uninsured households. Dental X-rays and standard diagnostic equipment support the everyday workflow. Searches that bring patients here include family dentist on Bissonnet Houston, bilingual dental practice in southwest Houston, Saturday dental appointments in 77074, dental implants near Sharpstown, TMJ treatment in southwest Houston, and Medicaid dental practice in Houston. The clinic suits patients who value bilingual care, accessible scheduling, and a one-stop family practice for the household's full range of dental needs.

More about tooth decay treatment at this clinic

At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth.

At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

Urgent Dental Care

ste g, 4960, Houston Road, Florence, Kentucky(nearby)

Emergency Dental Care focus in Florence; tooth decay treatment is implied by specialty rather than listed directly, with 4 services on file — just outside Houston proper.

Read full description

Urgent Dental Care is located at Suite G of 4960 Houston Road in Florence, Kentucky — an emergency and urgent care dental practice in the Boone County commercial zone of Florence in northern Kentucky's Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area. Houston Road in Florence runs through the Florence commercial interior, connecting the Mall Road and US-42 commercial spines with the residential communities of Florence's suburban fabric, and 4960 Houston Road places Urgent Dental Care in this suburban Florence commercial corridor. "Urgent Dental Care" as a practice name is an explicit emergency-focused identity — positioning the practice primarily as a same-day or walk-in dental access point for patients experiencing acute dental conditions (toothache, broken tooth, dental abscess, lost crown or filling, dental trauma) who need immediate evaluation and treatment rather than scheduled elective care. Suite G at 4960 Houston Road indicates a suite in a multi-unit commercial building on the Florence commercial corridor. Florence's dental market in Boone County includes Mall Road Dental Center on Mall Road, Shearer Family & Cosmetic Dentistry on Hansel Avenue, Smile Doctors Braces by NKY Orthodontics on Cavalry Drive, Northern Kentucky Endodontists on Old US-42, and now Urgent Dental Care on Houston Road — a commercially diverse NKY dental zone serving the Boone County population from multiple practice locations and service specializations.

Urgent Dental Care provides emergency and urgent dental services for adults and families in Florence, Boone County, and the surrounding northern Kentucky communities. Emergency dental services include same-day evaluation and treatment for acute dental pain — toothache from deep cavities, cracked teeth, dental abscesses, gum infections, and pericoronal pain from erupting wisdom teeth — as well as urgent care for broken teeth, lost or broken dental restorations (fillings, crowns, bridges), dental trauma from accidents and sports injuries, and dental abscesses requiring drainage or antibiotic management. The "Urgent Dental Care" name signals a low-barrier access model — patients with acute dental needs can present for urgent evaluation without the lead time typically required for elective restorative dental appointments. Walk-in or same-day scheduling distinguishes urgent dental practices from the advance-booking model of most general dental offices.

Houston Road's Florence commercial position provides access from US-42 and Mall Road's Florence commercial spines, from I-71/I-75's Florence interchange, and from the residential communities of Boone County's Florence and Union interior. The Greater Cincinnati dental emergency and specialist network is accessible from Florence via I-275 for patients requiring hospital-based emergency dental care or specialist referrals.

For Florence, Boone County, and northern Kentucky patients experiencing acute dental pain or dental emergencies requiring same-day access, Urgent Dental Care at Suite G on Houston Road provides emergency-focused dental care in the Florence commercial zone of Boone County.

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?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Houston has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver. We spent time reviewing patient outcomes, checking credentials, comparing pricing, and analyzing feedback from patients who've had tooth decay treatment work done across the Houston metro area.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Houston, Texas that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for tooth decay treatment in Houston, start here.
