Q: Is URBN Dental open on Saturdays?

Yes. URBN Dental offices are open six days a week including Saturday, and same-day slots are held for dental emergencies at every office.

The short version

Reviewed Sept 3, 2026

FDA-cleared AI on every X-ray, iTero 5D scanning and low-radiation imaging.

10 years

Crown warranty

URBN Dental warrants its dental crowns for ten years, as long as you keep up the exams and cleanings your dentist and hygienist recommend. A warranty is the practice taking the risk rather than the patient.

Insurance verification, consults and second reads

Verification with your carrier before the visit, cosmetic consultations, and the AI second read on every X-ray are all included at no charge, whether or not you go ahead with treatment.

What is actually different

Eleven things you can check for yourself.

Named brands, named materials and stated warranties, so none of this rests on us telling you we are good. Every item below is something you can ask about at your visit.

Diagnosis

FDA-cleared AI reads every X-ray

URBN Dental uses Pearl Second Opinion, an FDA-cleared platform that reads dental X-rays alongside the dentist and marks what it finds. It catches small cavities the eye can miss, and you look at the same marked-up image.

How the AI exam works ›

Imaging

Low-radiation Nomad Pro and KaVo OP 3D

Both systems produce detailed images at a fraction of the radiation of traditional X-rays. The OP 3D adds 3D imaging for implant placement, cavity detection and airway analysis.

Scanning

iTero 5D scanning, no putty impressions

The iTero 5D captures 3D images of teeth and gums in minutes, which replaces putty impressions and speeds up planning for Invisalign, implants, veneers and crowns.

Materials

BPA-free and Bis-GMA-free fillings

URBN Dental places VOCO Admira Fusion, a purely ceramic-based composite with no BPA and no Bis-GMA, at all fourteen offices. It restores the tooth without amalgam.

Implants

Straumann implants, placed in house

Straumann titanium implants are used for single teeth, All-on-4 cases, implant-supported dentures and same-day implants. Placement and restoration both happen at URBN Dental.

About dental implants ›

Lab

A digital dental lab in the United States

Crowns and veneers are designed digitally and machine-milled, which removes messy impressions and the variation that comes with hand work. The lab is US-based, so cases are not shipped overseas.

Whitening

KöR deep bleaching

KöR uses a fast-activating gel and a sealed tray rather than lights or lasers, and it works on cases other systems struggle with, including tetracycline staining.

About teeth whitening ›

Sleep

FDA-cleared Vivos appliance for sleep apnea

The Vivos Method treats mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and snoring with a noninvasive oral appliance rather than surgery or a CPAP machine.

Orthodontics

Invisalign planned in house

URBN Dental plans aligner treatment with its own dentists rather than referring it out.

About Invisalign ›

Hygiene

Laser-assisted cleanings

Dental lasers reach deep crevices to remove bacteria during a cleaning, which makes the appointment more comfortable and more thorough than scaling alone.

New patients

A free quip toothbrush

Every new patient leaves with a quip electric toothbrush after their first exam and cleaning. Insurance verification before the visit is free as well.

Memberships and affiliations

The bodies our dentists belong to.

Membership means continuing education and clinical standards set by the profession rather than by us. URBN Dental dentists hold memberships with the following organisations.

ADA American Dental Association National professional body AGD Academy of General Dentistry Continuing education standards AAP American Academy of Periodontology Gum and implant surgery AAE American Association of Endodontists Root canal treatment TDA Texas Dental Association State professional body GHDS Greater Houston Dental Society Local component of the TDA NDA National Dental Association National professional body HDA Hispanic Dental Association National professional body

The practical part

Built around a working week.

Most people put off the dentist because of time and cost rather than fear of the chair. These are the things URBN Dental does about both.

Open six days a week Including Saturday, with early and late slots at most offices so a visit does not cost you a day's work.

Same-day emergency slots Every office holds time open for dental emergencies, and you can walk in rather than wait for an opening.

Fourteen offices, one record Your records and images follow you, so you can use whichever office suits you that week without starting over.

You reach a person at the office Each office answers its own line, so the front desk you speak to is the one you walk up to. No phone tree and no call center.

An itemized plan, priced in writing Before treatment starts you get the plan on paper with the cost beside each line, and waiting on part of it is a normal answer.

Most major PPO plans In network with most major PPO carriers, with verification handled for you before the appointment. No insurance? There is a membership plan.

1. FDA-Cleared AI Dental Software

FDA-cleared AI software reviews dental X-rays and marks suspected cavities and other findings for the dentist to assess. We invest in current dental technology and tell you which systems are used in your own care. That’s why our dentists use Pearl Second Opinion Dental Ai Software for all aspects of their work. This FDA-cleared software is designed to support dentists in creating individualized treatment plans for each patient. A real-time dental artificial intelligence platform that flags conditions in dental X-rays, giving our dentists a second set of eyes. The dentist makes the diagnosis.

2. Dental Crowns

URBN Dental is your trusted destination for high-quality dental crown services which is backed by a remarkable 10 year warranty as long as the patient maintains dental exams and cleanings with URBN Dental as advised by our highly-trained dentists and dental hygienists.

Schedule your appointment today to experience the difference in quality and care.

3. Advanced Technology: Low Radiation Dental X-Rays

We are dedicated to providing our patients with high-quality dental care that utilizes the latest advancements in technology. One such advancement is the use of low-radiation X-rays, such as the Nomad Pro and the Kavo Op3D. These systems produce diagnostic images at a lower radiation dose than traditional film X-rays. The Kavo Op3D adds cone beam 3D imaging, which our dentists use for implant planning, cavity detection and airway assessment. This helps limit unnecessary radiation exposure and supports earlier detection, which your dentist confirms clinically.

4. Get Your Smile Back with Straumann Dental Implants

We specialize in Straumann Dental Implants, which are known for being reliable, durable reconstructive solutions for missing teeth. They are made from titanium alloy, a material selected for its strength and long-term durability in bone. Some Straumann cases can be placed in a single visit. Whether yours can depends on your bone and your examination, and healing time varies by patient. Our dental implant expertise lies in delivering remarkable solutions for All-on-4 dental implant cases, implant-supported dentures, and same-day dental implant needs for our patients.

6. Advanced Technology: 5D Digital Dental Scanning

We use the iTero 5D intraoral digital dental scanner. This technology allows us to capture detailed 3D images of teeth, gums, and other oral structures in just minutes. The precision offered by this scanner allows for faster diagnosis and precise treatment planning, making it perfect for Invisalign, implant placement, veneers, crowns, and more.

11. Laser Technology

URBN Dental offers dental care empowered by advanced laser technology, ensuring precise and efficient treatments for our patients. With our equipment, including dental lasers, we can target deep crevices to remove bacteria during your cleanings, which many patients find more comfortable. Our team uses dental laser technology alongside hand and ultrasonic instruments. Whether a laser suits your cleaning is a clinical decision made at your visit.
