Gulfton is a dense apartment neighborhood, and a sore tooth rarely waits for a convenient afternoon. Hillcroft Transit Center is the landmark people use when they give directions, and Bissonnet Street is the road that already runs past both the transit center and our door. Texas Dental Center is at 9801 Bissonnet St Ste K, Houston, TX 77036, about eight minutes from the transit center for patients in ZIP codes 77081 and 77074. If you ride METRO or you drive the same Bissonnet corridor every day, the office is on the street you already know. A lot of Gulfton households speak Spanish at home, and the clinical team does too, along with English. People come between shifts in the apartments along Hillcroft, or they stop on the way back from the transit center before the evening rush stacks up. We are open Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–6:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–3:00 PM. The office is closed Sunday. That Saturday cutoff matters here: if the only day off is Saturday, you need to be in the chair before 3:00 PM, not at the end of the afternoon. Call (832) 831-9101 before you board the bus or before you pull out of the apartment lot. Extractions in Gulfton are often urgent. A molar abscessed overnight, a tooth broke on the way to work, a wisdom tooth swelled after several nights of poor sleep. We take the film, remove what cannot be saved, and talk about the next step while you are still here: an implant if one tooth is missing, a denture if several are already loose. The eight-minute trip along Bissonnet is short enough that same-day care is realistic when you call during business hours.
Yes. Bissonnet Street connects Hillcroft Transit Center to 9801 Bissonnet St Ste K, Houston, TX 77036, about 8 minutes by car and a short bus ride along the same road. Call (832) 831-9101 before you leave the transit center so a chair is waiting. We are open Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–6:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–3:00 PM, and we are closed Sunday.
Yes, during business hours. Gulfton patients in 77081 and 77074 call (832) 831-9101, we take a digital X-ray on arrival, and if the tooth cannot be saved the extraction can usually happen that day. Monday–Friday the office is open 8:00 AM–6:00 PM. Saturday it closes at 3:00 PM. Sunday the office is closed, so do not plan a Sunday walk-in.
Saturday is open 8:00 AM–3:00 PM only. If you work evenings, Saturday morning is often the window that fits Gulfton schedules. Call (832) 831-9101 early Saturday so you are not arriving at 2:30 PM with no chair left. Weekdays run 8:00 AM–6:00 PM. We are closed Sunday, so Friday evening pain that misses the 6:00 PM close waits until Saturday morning.
Yes. Every Gulfton extraction visit starts with a digital X-ray. It shows whether you need a simple extraction of a loose tooth or a surgical extraction for a broken root or a wisdom tooth. Wisdom teeth are surgical. We review the image with you in English or Spanish before numbing. That step is why we ask you to call (832) 831-9101 first: the chair and the X-ray time both need a real slot.
We plan that conversation before you leave, not weeks later by surprise. A denture is the option when several Gulfton teeth are already failing and you want a removable replacement. A dental implant is the option when one tooth is missing and the site can heal for a single replacement. The English and Spanish team at Texas Dental Center explains both after the extraction, during Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–6:00 PM or Saturday before 3:00 PM.
