Dental Implants
Dental implants are the revolutionary way to restore your smile and help you maintain outstanding health.
-
Crowns
When an implant is used to replace a single tooth, a crown is often the best choice. Porcelain crowns can be custom colored to match the rest of your teeth for a natural-looking smile.
-
Bridges
A bridge not only fills the gap, but it also prevents repositioning of other healthy teeth. We can create a bridge or partial to restore your solid and beautiful smile.
-
Implant-Supported Dentures
Our fixed dentures, supported by dental implants, offer a high-tech and biocompatible option to anyone who wants to say goodbye to traditional dentures.
-
Periodontal Treatments
Periodontal treatments are effective in addressing periodontal disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. At The Houston Dentists, we can help restore bone loss and reverse gum recession, giving you a healthier gumline.

Sedation Dentistry
Do you suffer from dental anxiety? Are you nervous about a complex dental procedure? You’re not alone. Fortunately, there is a way to break this vicious cycle: sedation dentistry.
The Permanent Fix For Missing Teeth
Dental implants are the permanent solution to missing teeth. The implants are firmly anchored into place, help prevent bone loss, and are easy to care for.
No matter what implant option you choose, they all help prevent the repositioning of other healthy teeth, improve chewing function and speech, and provide internal structure for the face to give you a more youthful appearance.
Dental Implants
Dental implants consist of three parts:
The implant itself, which functions like the root of a natural tooth
The abutment, which acts as the secure and stable base to hold the final restoration
The restoration, which is the part of the implant that looks like a tooth and shows when you smile

Following a broken tooth, root canal, or extensive decay, a dental crown may be needed.
Our tooth-colored custom crowns, which we make in-office, are designed to fit snugly and function just like a healthy tooth. An expertly designed dental crown will protect your tooth from future damage.
By using a precise color-matching system we find the right shade to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color.
Crowns
About Our Crowns:
Our crowns are extremely durable and are intended to last a long time, with proper maintenance.
Our crowns are custom-made from your choice of precious metal or biocompatible porcelain.
Dr. Frazar has completed more than 10,000 porcelain crown restorations.
What is a Dental Bridge?
There are two types of dental bridges — fixed and implant supported.
In both types, a prosthetic tooth “bridges the gap” left by a missing tooth and attaches on one or both sides of the surrounding teeth.
A fixed bridge is permanently joined onto the neighboring crowned teeth. An implant supported bridge uses an implant to help maintain the stability of the bridge.
Dr. Frazar has helped thousands of people find solutions for missing teeth and would love to help you, too. She will consider your unique situation and health to help you determine what type of bridge is best.
If you’ve lost teeth due to accident, injury, or disease, we can help you create a permanent bridge to restore your smile. A bridge fills the gap caused by your missing tooth and can also prevent repositioning of remaining teeth.
Bridges
Advantages of Dental Bridges
Prevents bone loss and a “sunken face”
Permanent and durable
Made from biocompatible material

Other benefits include…
Aligning your bite

Giving you a more youthful appearance
Adhesive dentures often result in a sunken facial appearance due to bone loss. Not to mention the hassle of messy adhesives, difficulty speaking, cleaning, and eating
Fixed dentures, supported by dental implants, offer a high-tech and biocompatible option to anyone who wants to say goodbye to traditional dentures or fix missing/damaged teeth.

Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation
Fix gum recession without painful surgery. Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ gets results in just one visit without long healing times. Dr. Moayad Mardini, DDS, provides minimally invasive treatments to help patients with these issues.
Crown Lengthening
Does your smile show too much of your gumline? Often used to correct a “gummy” smile, crown lengthening (also known as a “gum lift”) exposes more of the natural tooth by reshaping or contouring bone and gum tissue. The doctors at The Houston Dentists can transform and recontour your gums so you have a smile that you love to show!
Laser & Ozone Therapy
High-tech gum disease treatments use lasers and ozone to attack bacteria and promote healing and the growth of healthy gum tissue.
Osseous Surgery
Also known as pocket reduction, this minor surgery removes bacteria living in pockets caused by gum disease.
If you suffer from dental anxiety, you’re not alone. Nearly 75% of adults experience some level of fear about visiting the dentist. The problem is when you allow this fear to keep you from getting the regular preventive dental care and attention your mouth needs. Putting off your twice-a-year checkups and other recommended treatments often escalates into more serious (and uncomfortable) conditions.
At The Houston Dentists, we take steps to ensure your visit is positive, relaxing, and comfortable.
Sedation Dentistry
If you suffer from…
Anxiety about going to the dentist
Low tolerance for discomfort
Difficulty sitting still for long periods of time
A strong gag reflex
Then sedation dentistry may be for you. We offer oral sedation, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and NuCalm therapy to help.
Each doctor a The Houston Dentists is a certified safe sedation dentist.
