If you're unsure if what you're experiencing qualifies as a dental emergency, it's better to be safe than sorry, so get in touch with our Houston dental team right away so you can get the care you need when you need it.

Periodontal care treats the infection in the gum and bone that support your teeth. Treatment ranges from a thorough deep cleaning below the gum line to an ongoing maintenance schedule that keeps the condition stable.

We see children alongside the rest of the family at our Houston Heights practice - routine exams, cleanings, fluoride, sealants and guidance on brushing as their teeth come in. Visits are kept short, unhurried and explained in language a child can follow.

A sealant is a thin protective coating bonded into the grooves of the back teeth, where a toothbrush bristle cannot reach. It takes minutes per tooth, requires no drilling and no numbing, and is one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent decay.

The temporomandibular joints are the hinges just in front of each ear. When they are strained - often by clenching, grinding or an uneven bite - the result can be jaw pain, clicking, morning headaches or difficulty opening. We assess the joint and the bite together and start with the most conservative option.

For people diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea - and for heavy snorers - a custom oral appliance worn at night can hold the lower jaw slightly forward and keep the airway open. It is fitted here, but the diagnosis comes from your physician.

A custom sports mouth guard is made from an impression of your own teeth, so it fits closely, stays put and lets you talk and breathe normally. We make them for adults and for children in contact and collision sports, in whatever colors they want.

Night guards are custom-made dental appliances designed to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding and clenching, commonly known as bruxism. At Lush Dental Heights, Dr. Pasha Noorian provides expertly crafted night guards tailored to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth, ensuring optimal protection while you sleep. These guards are made from high-quality materials that are durable yet gentle on your teeth, offering a practical solution to prevent wear and tear.
