Tooth Extraction in Gulfton
Gulfton
Close to home
Mon–Fri 8 AM–6 PM · Sat 8 AM–3 PM
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.
