What General Dentistry Services Do We Offer in Houston, TX?
Muse Dental Studio is the best provider of general dentistry in Houston. Below are the services we offer:
Dental checkups & cleanings
A routine dental checkup and cleaning every six months does more than help your smile stay bright and healthy. Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar that can cause cavities to develop. Wellness and hygiene visits also allow the dentist to look at your mouth and find any issues before they become a big problem. Skipping a checkup and cleaning can cause problems that take more time and money to repair than they would have if caught early. We recommend that everyone have at least one checkup and cleaning appointment every six months, regardless of age.
Pediatric Dentistry
Learning good dental health habits early in life leads to fewer problems and expenses down the road. That’s why we always welcome children at Muse Dental Studio. It’s never too early to start the habit of good dental care, so whether your child has just started to get their teeth or they are in their late teens, we’d love to help them get on a path to a lifetime of good dental health.
Our friendly staff and inviting atmosphere make visits stress-free for your child and for you. We are happy to educate your child about all aspects of dental health and encourage them to make good dental habits a priority. We provide them with everything they need to ensure their smile stays strong and healthy throughout their life.
Night Guards for Bruxism
Teeth grinding is a common problem, especially for patients who lead stressful lives. You may not even know you are grinding your teeth until they start looking flat and worn down, or you start to experience frequent headaches and jaw pain. Teeth grinding, known as bruxism, may occur during the day or only at night when you are asleep. If you are grinding your teeth at night, a night guard may be the solution you need.
A night guard is a small, comfortable appliance custom-made for your mouth. It prevents tooth surfaces from touching each other, eliminating grinding and protecting your smile. You’ll rest easier, and your sweet dreams of a healthy smile will become reality.
Mouthguards / Sportsguards
While it is important for children who play sports as well as adult athletes to wear pads and protective gear to protect their bodies from injury, it’s just as important to protect their mouths and teeth. Even a minor bump can cause damage if it involves the mouth. So, kids and adults who play contact sports should always wear a mouthguard.
Sporting goods stores sell mouthguards that are bulky and ill-fitting. Sometimes players prefer to go without a guard because it doesn’t feel good in their mouth. We can provide a custom-designed guard that will be more comfortable to wear and give better protection. Our mouth guards conform to the contours of your unique smile. They fit securely, comfortably, and provide maximum protection so you can stay safe while you stay in the game.
Velscope Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is a devastating disease, and it’s more prevalent than you might think. Tragically, someone loses their life to oral cancer every single hour here in the US. Without early detection, the cancer can spread until it requires face and mouth-deforming surgery or become too advanced to treat at all.
On the brighter side, oral cancer is highly treatable in the early stages. That’s why we perform an oral cancer screening at every checkup using the VELScope light. This amazing tool actually illuminates potentially cancerous areas that can’t be seen with the naked eye. It helps your dentist diagnose oral cancer at its earliest stage, when it is most treatable. We care about all aspects of our patients’ oral health and want to ensure that whatever issues arise, they can be addressed as soon as possible to provide the best chance for a good outcome.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride has been proven for decades as a natural way to strengthen tooth enamel and lower a person’s risk of tooth decay. That’s why it’s often added to toothpaste, mouthwash, and drinking water. We can give you an extra boost of cavity protection by coating your teeth with a highly concentrated fluoride varnish as part of your regular checkup. The application takes only a couple of minutes but adds an extra layer of protection between checkups. We are dedicated to doing everything we can to help our patients keep their strong, bright smiles.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Amalgam — the silvery substance dentists used to use to repair decayed teeth in fillings is a thing of the past. Today, fillings are made of a composite resin that can be colored to exactly match your own tooth. It’s strong and nearly invisible, ensuring you won’t be embarrassed by noticeable repairs when you smile or eat.
Muse Dental Studio provides these tooth-colored, almost undetectable composite fillings for repairing teeth damaged by decay. Composite fillings provide a perfect solution for damaged teeth, and no one except you and your dentist will notice they are there.
Root Canal Therapy
When facing something particularly unpleasant, some people say, “I’d rather have a root canal.” The words “root canal” have somehow become synonymous with something unpleasant and painful. While that may have been true in the past, it isn’t any longer.
With modern pain management tools, high-speed drills, and other advances in dental technology, you don’t have to dread your dentist telling you, “You need a root canal”. In fact, it’s one of the most important tools we can use at Muse Dental Studio to relieve pain and suffering and restore dental health. Just as importantly, this procedure can mean the difference between saving and extracting your tooth.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Is it possible to have too many teeth? It may be if you have wisdom teeth, or third molars, as they’re also called. Many people’s mouths can’t accommodate these late-to-arrive molars, so they need to have them extracted. Wisdom teeth can push your other teeth out of alignment and cause a variety of problems.
While some dentists send their patients to another doctor who specializes in tooth extraction to have wisdom teeth removed, at Muse Dental Studios, we provide this service right in our office. We’ll make sure the procedure is done correctly and with the least amount of discomfort possible.
