March is here, which means spring break is right around the corner! This is the perfect time for kids to come get their braces.
Schools in Texas have spring break either March 10-18 or March 17-25. If you know when your child is getting off for spring break and you know they need braces, then contact our dental office in southwest Houston to schedule an orthodontics appointment.
Spring break provides an entire week that your child doesn’t have to be in school. This makes it much easier to schedule a dental appointment for them, especially an orthodontics appointment. These schedule openings are going fast, however, which means if you plan to bring your child in during their week off, you should do it now.
DOES YOUR CHILD NEED BRACES?
If your child suffers from gapped, misaligned, or severely crooked teeth, then you should consider getting them braces. Our 3M metal braces are some of the most affordable braces in Houston, which makes it easier on families to get braces.
If you have dental insurance, then your benefits could pay for the braces - either in part or in full. This is possible when your child is proven to benefit health-wise from receiving benefits. Patients who suffer from malocclusion - severely crooked teeth - are commonly covered by dental insurance. When teeth are severely crooked, then the patient can suffer from poor oral health because food particles can hide in between and around teeth. When this happens, plaque begins to build up, which can lead to cavities, gum disease, and other health issues.

A person’s smile is part of a person’s features that is most recognizable. Since Valentine’s Day has just passed, it may be a good idea to start looking ahead to the next one and start working to perfect your smile.
Centra Dental provides braces for kids and adults. Our orthodontics works to perfect and beautify your smile. Our 3M metal braces start at just $1995, which makes getting braces affordable.
A SMILE YOU CAN SMILE ABOUT
If your teeth are currently crooked, misaligned, or gapped, and you don’t like how they appear, then you should consider orthodontics. Getting braces will straighten and perfect your teeth so that you can have a beautiful smile.
Our Houston dentists take the time to thoroughly check every patient’s mouth to see how long the braces will take to straighten their teeth and what type of braces would work best. Our orthodontics treatments vary from patient to patient, so receiving a thorough oral checkup is absolutely necessary.
Typically, braces take about 12 to 24 months to complete their treatment. Afterward, a retainer is required to be worn to make certain the teeth do not shift and move back to any original out of line positions.
Throughout the treatment process, patients are required to come return for oral adjustments every few weeks. Our south Houston dentists will inform you of how consistently you will need to return for these adjustment procedures.
A BEAUTIFUL SMILE YOU CAN AFFORD
Affordable braces is typically a term that doesn’t go together, but at Centra Dental, we’ve made it possible. Our dental office also takes most dental insurance plans, which means you won’t have to pay for the complete braces treatment out of pocket. Be certain to use your dental insurance for your braces.
Our dental staff will answer any questions you may have regarding dental insurance and how to utilize it for an orthodontics procedure. Contact our south Houston dental practice today. We look forward to providing you with the smile you’ve always wanted.

More often than not, adults think braces are too expensive and can’t be afforded. They often put orthodontics off to the side until enough money is saved or just never do it because they’re under the impression they won’t be able to afford it. At Centra Dental, we are here to say that you can afford braces and you can afford them now.
Our dental practice in southwest Houston offers oral metal braces starting at the low price of $1995. This makes braces very affordable, and our dental staff will work with you on making them even more affordable by putting you on a simple payment plan. You are able to break up the payments on a monthly basis, which helps ease the process of settling into your braces.

The new year is officially here and there is no better time than now to get a set of braces from Centra Dental. Our southwest Houston dental office has all the braces you and your family members would want and at an incredibly low price.
Affordable braces in Houston are hard to find, but Centra Dental has them. Our oral metal braces start at just $1995, making them very affordable. Braces are a huge part of culture today because everyone wants a straight and beautiful smile.
The dentists at our dental office work well with kids and adults alike. Getting early orthodontics for kids is a big step in the right direction for their dental health. Braces can help stave off so many oral problems. Here are just some of the ways braces can help your kids’ teeth remain healthy:
- PLAQUE BUILDUP: The buildup of plaque is always a concern for anyone, especially when it can easily hide. Braces help move teeth closer together and in order, enabling them to keep food from collecting and plaque from building up. This helps fight against cavities and gum disease.
- STRENGTHEN TEETH: Just like in anything, you are stronger when you stand together. When teeth are moved closer together, they become stronger. When teeth are gapped and stand alone, they aren’t nearly as strong.
- EASY BRUSHING: Orthodontics were created to make teeth straight and aligned. When teeth are aligned, it becomes much easier to brush teeth thoroughly. This is because the bristles on toothbrushes are able to move in simple patterns, covering each tooth, rather than having to work around the divots and humps of misaligned teeth.

Everyone would like to have money for Christmas. Your dental insurance is practically that. Since Christmas Day is only days away and the end of the year is less than two weeks away, now is the very best time to use your dental insurance.
Your dental benefits enable you to afford various dental procedures that you otherwise might not be able to afford. If you have 2017 dental benefits that haven’t been used this year, don’t let them go to waste. Schedule your dental appointment now before it is too late and your dental insurance renews on Jan. 1.
USE YOUR DENTAL INSURANCE BEFORE 2017 ENDS
Here are just some of the oral procedures your dental insurance can cover:
- TEETH CLEANING: A dental cleaning is paramount when it comes to keeping your teeth healthy. Getting your teeth thoroughly cleaned every six months helps stave off hard to remove plaque. Plaque can eat away at the enamel of your teeth and create cavities.
- DENTAL FILLINGS: If you have cavities already, then those need to be removed before they spread wider and deeper. Our southwest Houston dentists will remove the cavities and replace those areas with dental filling. This helps strengthen the tooth and ensures it remains healthy.
- DENTAL SEALANTS: These are a great idea for kids (and adults too) because it helps ensure they don’t get cavities. Dental sealants cover molars and protect them from plaque. They typically last about two years and then need to be reapplied.
- DENTAL CROWN: In the event you don’t have dental sealants and the cavity has done more damage than we’d hope, then dental crowns would be best for you. When tooth decay heavily impacts a tooth, the decay is removed, leaving only the healthy and vibrant part of the tooth. The remaining part of the tooth is then covered with a dental crown, which is made of porcelain or composite resin.

Christmas Day is only a couple weeks away. This means there isn’t a whole lot of time left to get your kids the best gift of the year: braces. Our dental office in southwest Houston offers top of the line braces at a very affordable price.
Our Houston dentists encourage early orthodontics. We know that having a beautiful and healthy smile will improve a person’s life in various ways. Here are just some of the ways a great smile for Christmas can help your child:
- HEALTH: Straight teeth help ensure a healthy smile by keeping plaque and food particles within reach. When teeth are crooked or gapped, plaque buildup can easily hide between teeth, making it difficult to remove it. Not removing plaque can lead to cavities and gum disease.
- CONFIDENCE: When a smile is straight, it makes it easier to smile. Kids need confidence when they go through the grades of school. Growing confidence will help ensure they become more active in school and could help with their grades and their ability to make friends.
A BEAUTIFUL SMILE FOR EVERY CHRISTMAS
At Centra Dental, we know how much braces can improve someone’s life. Braces aren’t just a great gift for this Christmas. Braces are the one gift that will keep giving every year. Braces beautify teeth for the lifetime of our patients, which means getting braces once will carry on throughout every Christmas. So when you purchase your child a set of braces this December, you are giving them a Christmas gift for a lifetime.
Before Christmas Day arrives, bring the family to our southwest Houston dental clinic and find out how braces can help. Our kids dentists and general dentists will conduct thorough evaluations of your kids’ and family members’ teeth to provide thorough diagnoses of their teeth. Braces typically take between 12 and 24 months to complete straightening teeth. Our dentists will inform you of approximately how long it will take.
We look forward to helping you and your family smile bright this Christmas holiday season.

This is the time of year when we all sit around the table and tell each other what we are thankful for. With all the wonderful thoughts, they are sure to bring a smile to your face. But is your smile one of those things you are thankful for? At Centra Dental, we believe the smile should be something everyone is thankful for, which is why we are offering braces at such a low price.
Our southwest Houston dental clinic provides braces for as low as $1995, making it more than affordable to straighten your smile without creating a financial strain. This Thanksgiving Day, if you are not happy with your smile, take a moment to be thankful for Houston’s best annual deal on braces at Centra Dental. Our goal is to provide beautiful smiles for everyone throughout the year, and not just during the holiday season. But now is the best time to get braces because your dental insurance coverage will be renewed at the beginning of 2018.
WHY DENTAL INSURANCE CAN COVER BRACES
Using your dental insurance now for braces will help ensure you put your dental coverage in the right place. Braces can be covered by dental insurance depending on the severity of the case. The reason braces can be covered is because crooked, misaligned or heavily gapped teeth can actually be a hazard to a person’s health.
Think of Thanksgiving Dinner. If a person with heavily gapped or crooked teeth is eating turkey and dressing, food particles can easily become stuck in teeth. Or they can become hidden in hard to reach places. This makes it difficult to remove these particles from teeth. These food particles can create plaque buildup that will eat away at the teeth’s enamel. Once the enamel is eaten away, cavities begin to produce, which creates real oral problems. These cavities require dental fillings, but if they worsen, they can require dental crowns, tooth extractions or dental implants.
This is why it is much more efficient to get braces before the dental problems arise. We encourage all parents to bring their kids into our dental office in southwest Houston during this holiday season. Our kids dentists will examine your child’s teeth and their structure to see if braces are the best option. Straightening teeth sooner rather than later is the best way to ensure your child continues with great oral health.

If you or your child is in need of braces, then contact Centra Dental today. Our southwest Houston dental clinic, located in the 5 Corners District, is ready to help you achieve your best smile and begin being thankful for a beautiful and healthy smile. Happy Thanksgiving!

The 2017 year is coming to an end and with that comes the end of your annual dental insurance coverage. Before December comes to a close, be sure to come to our southwest Houston dental office to get whatever oral needs you have met.
Our dentist clinic in the 5 Corner District accepts most dental insurance plans. This dental coverage is extremely helpful when dealing with oral procedures that could be costly. Depending on the type of coverage plan you have, you may have most of your dental procedure covered by insurance. Since this is the end of the year, we call this the “use it or lose it” time of year.
Here are just some of the dental procedures you can have covered by dental insurance:
- DENTAL FILLINGS: One of the most common types of dental operations is providing dental fillings to protect teeth. These are necessary when a patient encounters cavities. The cavity is removed and replaced with a dental filling that is made of composite resin.
- DENTAL CROWNS: If a tooth has suffered major tooth decay, then a dental filling will not suffice. This is when a dental crown will be necessary. Our dentist will remove the decayed areas, leaving only the healthy part of the tooth. Then a dental cap is custom-made and placed over the tooth. These dental crowns are made of either composite resin or porcelain, which are both very durable and have the same look and feel of a natural tooth.
- BRACES: Depending on the severity of the case, braces can be covered by dental insurance. This is when the teeth are so crooked or misaligned that the teeth become a hazard to the patient’s health. Our dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth to see how severe the case for braces may be. From there, we will find out if the oral braces can be covered by insurance.
There are other dental procedures that can be covered with dental insurance, including root canals, dental implants, and tooth extractions. Contact Centra Dental in southwest Houston to schedule your dental appointment. We look forward to helping you end 2017 in healthy fashion.
