Mon–Fri 8 AM–6 PM · Sat 8 AM–3 PM
Gulfton is a dense pocket of apartments, school routes, and buses that meet at the Hillcroft Transit Center, with Bissonnet Street as the spine people already know. Texas Dental Center is about eight minutes from that center, at 9801 Bissonnet St Ste K, Houston, TX 77036. Households in ZIP codes 77081 and 77074 can reach the office by car along Bissonnet or by a short ride from the transit center without treating a dental visit like an outing to the far suburbs.
Families in these buildings often share one car or time a visit between shifts. They ask for a dentist who can see a parent and a child in one trip, explain a cavity without jargon, and send them home with a clear date for the next cleaning. We do that in English and in Spanish. Many Gulfton parents prefer Spanish for the exam and English for a school form, or the reverse, and the same team can switch so the notes match what was said in the chair.
Call (832) 831-9101 before you leave the transit center or the apartment gate and we will tell you whether a same-week family block is open. Hours are Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–6:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–3:00 PM. The office is closed Sunday, so Sunday bus plans will not land on an open door.

Family Dentist for Gulfton.
Gulfton visits are built for people who cannot lose a whole shift. We start with the cleaning and the exam, check the gums, and take X-rays only when the record needs them. If a cavity is small, a tooth-colored filling goes in during that plan rather than being left as a vague warning. We also look at baby teeth that are close to falling out and adult teeth that are taking the extra load, because apartment households here often have several ages in one kitchen.
A crown is the option when a tooth has broken a corner or already carries a large old filling that is leaking. A root canal can keep a tooth whose nerve is inflamed, instead of jumping to removal as the only idea; we refer that treatment to a trusted specialist. Children are welcome; we let a parent stay beside the chair and we pause if a child needs a break. Bring the questions you saved on the bus ride. The number is (832) 831-9101.
