Houston Dentists
Modern Dentistry. Designed for You.
Are you looking for a trusted dentist in Houston or Katy? At URBN Dental, we offer same-day appointments, emergency dental care, and comprehensive services tailored to your smile using advanced dental technology.
The materials we use
Our fillings are BPA-free and Bis-GMA-free.
Composite resins vary, and we think the material going into your tooth is worth knowing about. Every filling at all 14 offices uses Admira Fusion by VOCO, a purely ceramic-based restorative with no BPA, no Bis-GMA and no classic monomers.
Admira Fusion by VOCO, purely ceramic-based
The same material at every one of our 14 offices, at PPO rates
10-year warranty on these fillings with routine cleanings
Admira Fusion by VOCO is free of BPA and Bis-GMA and is not known to degrade into microplastics under normal oral conditions. No dental material is guaranteed risk-free for every patient. Provided for education, not as medical advice.

AI-read X-rays
FDA-cleared AI reads every X-ray for accuracy, and it keeps us honest: you see exactly what it marks

FDA-cleared AI diagnostics
Every X-ray here is read twice.
URBN Dental invests in the latest diagnostic technology so nothing gets missed. In partnership with Pearl, FDA-cleared AI reviews your 2D X-rays and 3D CBCT scans alongside your dentist and marks what it finds on screen. Every diagnosis is backed by evidence you can see for yourself, before anything is recommended.

Book Your Appointment
Ask for a dentist by name when you book and we'll match you.
Your first visit
Nothing happens to your teeth before you say yes.
Most people put off the dentist because they don't know what it will cost, or how much it will hurt. Here is exactly how a first appointment goes.
01
A look, not a lecture
Low-radiation digital X-rays and an FDA-cleared Pearl AI exam show us what is going on. You see the same images we do, on the screen beside you.
02
A written plan and a price
We verify your benefits, then hand you options with real numbers, what insurance covers, what you owe, what can wait.
03
Treatment at your pace
Cleaning today, the rest when you are ready. Sedation is available, and urgent problems are usually handled the same day.

What we see most often
The problems Houston patients come in with
Six things account for most of what walks through the door. Find yours, read what it takes to fix, and note which ones are painless right up to the point they are expensive.
These are explanatory diagrams, not photographs of patients. Real URBN Dental cases are shown unretouched in the before and after section.
A cavity
Decay has made a hole in the enamel. It does not heal and it grows.
What we do: A tooth colored filling in one visit, in a BPA-free and Bis-GMA-free material. FDA-cleared AI reads the X-ray alongside your dentist.
Bleeding, inflamed gums
Gums that bleed when brushed. Painless, extremely common, and fully reversible at this stage.
What we do: A cleaning and a hygiene routine that reaches the gum line. Ignored, this becomes bone loss that does not come back.
Tartar buildup
Plaque hardened into calculus, which no amount of brushing removes.
What we do: Scaling and polishing at your six month visit. Lasers reach where hand instruments cannot.
A chipped or broken tooth
A corner gone, an edge sharp against the tongue, or a filling that has come out.
What we do: Bonded in one visit if small, crowned if the tooth has lost real structure.
A missing tooth
A gap, with bone underneath that begins to shrink once no root is loading it.
What we do: An implant replaces the root and crown. A bridge spans the gap faster but does not keep the bone loaded.
Crowded or crooked teeth
Overlapping teeth that also trap plaque where a brush cannot reach, so it is a hygiene issue as well as a cosmetic one.
What we do: Clear aligners, 6 to 18 months. Free consultation with a 3D scan before anything is decided.

Medical PPO insurance may provide coverage for certain procedures. Our team will bill your medical insurance on your behalf.
Find Out If You're Eligible For Dental Implants
An online quiz cannot tell you whether you are a candidate for implants. That needs an in-person examination, x-rays or a 3D scan to assess your bone, and a review of your medical history.

Who owns us
Dentist-owned.
Not corporate.
URBN Dental is privately owned by practicing dentists. The people who set our standards are the same people sitting chairside, which means clinical decisions are made by the person holding the handpiece.
It shows up in small things and large ones: how long an appointment is allowed to run, which materials we are willing to buy, and who decides what you actually need.
01
Owned and run by the dentists who treat you
02
Materials chosen on merit, including BPA-free and Bis-GMA-free composites
03
Specialists in-house rather than referred out to strangers
