What to Expect at Our Houston Office

1

77021 Medicaid and CHIP card check at the front desk

Before you sit in the chair, we pull up your Texas Medicaid or CHIP coverage and confirm what's included for the restorative code we're planning. You'll know the out-of-pocket number — if any — in Spanish or English before we pick up an instrument.

2

Spanish-first greeting on Scott Street

Our front desk opens in Spanish by default for families who prefer it, and the assistant chairside with Dr. Thompson translates the restorative plan step by step. You never have to ask for a translator — someone on the team is already there.

3

Same-chair family scheduling near MacGregor Park

Parents bringing kids from Sunnyside or South Union can book back-to-back chairs so a mom's filling and a child's checkup happen in one trip. Strollers fit in the operatory; no extra childcare run across the 610 Loop.

Why Root Canal Therapy Works — Houston

Modern dentistry can restore almost any tooth. The key is acting before it's too late.

A failing filling or cracked cusp lets bacteria reach deeper dentin fast — what's a composite today can turn into a root canal or extraction if the tooth is left open for weeks.

Lost crowns and exposed post-and-core teeth fracture easily under normal chewing; the longer the underlying stump is bare, the higher the chance the tooth can't be saved when you come back.

Untreated decay on a permanent molar can spread to the adjacent tooth through the contact point, turning a single-tooth fix into two restorations on the same bill.

💫
DON'T WAIT

The sooner we treat it, the simpler and cheaper the fix.

What's Included in Your Root Canal Therapy — Houston

Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Houston, TX for root canal therapy:

1.

Bitewing and periapical imaging at Scott Street

We capture bitewings to map interproximal decay and a periapical of the suspect tooth to check the root and surrounding bone before choosing between a direct filling, onlay, or full-coverage crown.

2.

Shade match under Houston daylight

Composite shade is selected against a hydrated tooth using the Vita shade guide before isolation, so the finished restoration blends with the neighboring enamel rather than going in a shade too light or too opaque.

3.

Rubber dam isolation and selective etch bonding

The tooth is isolated with a rubber dam, enamel margins are selectively etched with 37% phosphoric acid, and a universal adhesive is light-cured before incremental composite placement to keep the bond margin dry.

4.

Incremental composite layering with 2 mm cures

Composite is placed in 2 mm increments and light-cured at each layer to minimize polymerization shrinkage and prevent post-op sensitivity on the pulpal floor.

5.

Articulating-paper occlusal adjustment

Before you leave the chair, blue and red articulating paper mark high spots in centric and excursive movements, and the restoration is adjusted with a fine finishing bur so the bite feels the way it did before the tooth broke.

6.

Post-op check and bilingual home-care review

Dr. Thompson walks through what to expect — mild cold sensitivity for 24–48 hours, what would warrant a callback — and the assistant repeats the same instructions in Spanish before you walk out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Therapy

Where is the Scott Street office and how do I get there?

We're at 6102 Scott St Suite E, Houston, TX 77021 — just south of the University of Houston, near the OST/South Union corridor. Free parking is right in front of the suite.

What are your hours for a restorative visit?

Monday, Tuesday, and Friday 9:00 AM–6:00 PM, Wednesday and Thursday 10:00 AM–7:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM–2:00 PM. Closed Sunday. Evening slots on Wednesday and Thursday are the easiest to grab for working parents.

¿Aceptan Medicaid y CHIP para empastes y coronas?

Sí. Verificamos su tarjeta de Medicaid o CHIP antes de empezar cualquier tratamiento y le explicamos la cobertura en español. Llame al (281) 519-0725 y le decimos exactamente qué cubre su plan.

Can you do the filling or crown the same day I come in?

Most composite fillings and many crown rebuilds are finished in one visit at Scott Street. Larger cases (full-coverage crowns that need lab fabrication) get a same-day temporary and a scheduled return — we'll tell you which path your tooth needs before we start.

About This Office

Root Canal Therapy in Houston

What makes our Houston office unique for root canal therapy

Root Canal Therapy for Houston Families

Our Scott Street office sits at 6102 Scott St Suite E in Houston's 77021 ZIP, just south of the University of Houston campus and a short drive from MacGregor Park and the OST/South Union neighborhood. Families from Sunnyside, South Union, and the MacGregor corridor come to us for restorative care — fillings, crowns, and rebuilds that put teeth back to work without the back-and-forth of a referral chain.

We see a lot of parents juggling Medicaid and CHIP coverage for the kids while trying to fit their own chipped molar or failing filling into the same visit. That's the whole point of being on Scott Street: one chair for abuela, one chair for mom, one chair for the kids, same afternoon.

No driving across the Loop to a different specialist. Se habla español desde que entra por la puerta.
