News
Centra Dental, located in southwest Houston, is known for providing incredibly affordable metal braces. Now our dental clinic offers Invisalign braces. These braces are clear plastic tray aligners that are perfect for straightening teeth without it being completely obvious.
Compared to metal braces, Invisalign are practically unnoticeable. This allows for teeth to become straightened without the visible metal tangs across the teeth. There are numerous benefits to Invisalign in comparison to metal braces.
BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN BRACES
- CLEAR BRACES: Some patients, especially older patients, defer getting braces because they don’t want a massive change to their appearance. These braces can build confidence while straightening teeth.
- COMFORT: Compared to metal braces, the clear plastic tray aligners don’t have to be worn all the time. These braces can actually be removed for up to two and sometimes three hours per day. These few hours allow for oral maintenance and eating.
- REMOVABLE: As mentioned in the previous reason, these braces are removable so you aren’t stuck with them on just in case you need a “breather” from them. This is not recommended to do very often. The braces need to remain on the teeth for at least 21-22 hours per day in order for the teeth to straighten on schedule.
OR YOU CAN CHOOSE METAL BRACES
These Invisalign braces are a little more expensive than the metal braces at Centra Dental. If you or one of your family members are hoping for straight teeth, but at a more affordable price, then our metal braces are perfect. Our 3M metal braces start at $1,995, which is much less than most other Houston dental offices.

Our dentist meets with each patient during their ortho appointment and discusses how braces work.

After this examination, our dentist addresses the specific issues in the patient’s mouth. From there, braces are prescribed and provided. Afterward the patient receives their braces, they are required to come back every couple of weeks for straightening of the braces. This ensures that the teeth will straighten faster.

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 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.

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.
CHOOSE CENTRA DENTAL FOR YOUR END OF YEAR DENTAL NEEDS
For any and all of your dental needs this Christmas time, come to Centra Dental. Our southwest dental clinic is here to ensure you enjoy the rest of your year and the years to come, and that you get the most out of your dental benefits.
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.
