Your Complete Dental Health Partner
Houston Medical Center Dental offers comprehensive general dentistry services combining advanced technology with a caring, patient-first approach. Located in the Texas Medical Center, our practice uses state-of-the-art laser diagnostics and sedation options to ensure every visit is comfortable and effective.
Professional Dental Cleaning & Exam
Regular cleanings are the cornerstone of lasting oral health. Our experienced hygienists use ultrasonic and manual techniques to safely remove tartar buildup, prevent gum disease, and leave your smile polished and bright. Every cleaning includes a thorough exam and oral cancer screening.
Advanced Laser Dentistry
Our practice was among Houston's earliest adopters of laser dental technology. We use specialized laser tools for cavity detection, soft tissue procedures, and gum treatment — with less pain, faster healing, and no drill needed for many procedures. Laser dentistry means a more precise, gentle experience.
Sedation Dentistry — Anxiety-Free Care
Dental anxiety is real — and we take it seriously. Our safe, proven sedation dentistry options let even the most anxious patients relax completely through their appointment. You'll wake up with a healthier smile and often little to no memory of the procedure. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation.
Gentle Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved through restorative treatment, a gentle extraction is the safest solution. Dr. Swonke performs both simple and surgical extractions with precision and care, minimizing discomfort and promoting fast healing. We also discuss tooth replacement options (implants, bridges) at the same appointment.
