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 our front desk does too, along with English; Dr. Marmentini also speaks Spanish. 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.

Tooth Extraction for Gulfton.

Gulfton patients often arrive with the clock already tight, especially if they came from Hillcroft Transit Center and still need to catch a later bus. The first step is still a digital X-ray, taken when you sit down, so we are not guessing from swelling alone. A simple extraction means the tooth is mobile and the root can leave through the socket. A surgical extraction means the tooth snapped, the root bends, or we are removing a wisdom tooth. Wisdom teeth are surgical cases in this office, including the ones that look partly erupted, because the buried portion sits against bone or against the next molar. You see that film before we numb you, in English or Spanish.

Same-day emergency extractions run only during open hours: Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–6:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–3:00 PM. Closed Sunday. If you miss Saturday at 3:00 PM, the next chair is Monday morning. When the tooth cannot be kept, we usually remove it on the visit you already made, so you are not riding back to Gulfton still in pain. Then we talk about what fills the space later. One missing tooth can become an implant after healing. A denture fits the plan when several teeth in the apartment household’s smile are already failing. Call (832) 831-9101 and ask for the next open Gulfton slot before you leave Hillcroft.

Local questions

Tooth Extraction in Gulfton: your questions.

Can I reach the office by bus from Hillcroft Transit Center?
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.
Do you see same-day extraction patients from 77081 and 77074?
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.
My tooth broke and I work evenings. Can I come on Saturday?
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.
Will you take a digital X-ray before removing the tooth?
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.
If several teeth are failing, do you make dentures after extractions?
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.
