Whether you need a professional teeth cleaning or suspect you may need a dental procedure such as a crown or root canal, patients deserve a reputable Houston dentist with experience that is both compassionate and expertly skilled. At Dorothy Paul DDS, our staff is dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality care to help patients achieve optimal oral health.
In many cases, oral health can be a barometer for a persons overall health. For this reason, dentists should be an important part of an individuals health team. We seek to provide patients with the best oral care possible, which is why we offer a wide range of dental services including:
Whether it is at a teeth cleaning or an unexpected discovery in between visits, patients may need the service of a dental professional to assist with fillings for painful cavities and crowns for cracked or worn down teeth. X-rays are also done periodically for a more in depth look at tooth structure.
The American Dental Association recommends regular dental visits for patients to obtain optimal oral health. We recommend getting a general teeth cleaning at least every six months to properly clear away stubborn plaque, evaluate gum health, and scan the teeth and gums for problem areas.
Individuals suffering from a decayed or damaged tooth may require a dental crown to assist with everyday activities such as chewing. Veneers are often recommended for teeth that are badly stained. We offer porcelain crowns and anterior teeth veneers for a strong, healthy, and natural looking smile.
Patients with discolored, chipped, or teeth with old, smaller restorations may be candidates for composite veneers. This type of veneer is typically made from composite resin which is also often used for natural looking tooth fillings.
For patients that are missing one or more teeth in between permanent teeth, a dental bridge may be needed. Without a bridge, teeth could shift into the empty space which can negatively affect tooth health and jaw joints, as well as put an individual at risk for gum disease. Dental bridges should be custom designed for proper comfort and fit.
Patients that are missing a tooth may be uncomfortable with their appearance and simple tasks such as eating. To achieve more confidence and have a more natural look, dental implants may be recommended. These implants function like the patients natural teeth and help preserve a tooths supporting bone.
For those with damaged and discolored teeth or another type of troubling oral distress, our goal is to treat the issue while keeping a patients smile natural looking. Some of the cosmetic dentistry services we provide include teeth whitening, implants, veneers, crowns, and gingivectomy to name just a few.
Dental patients frequently request a safe and effective teeth whitening procedure to better brighten their smiles. A tooths enamel can be slowly stained if a patient indulges in caffeine or tobacco. We offer in-office boost whitening which includes a one-and-a-half-hour session and take home bleaching trays to be used for maintenance. We also have an at-home only bleaching option at a smaller cost.
Regardless of if a person is missing only a few teeth or most of their teeth, partial or full dentures may be the best course of action. In addition to their facilitation of eating, dentures are an aesthetic feature that self-conscious patients often appreciate. Our patients can choose from removable dentures made with or without metal.
For a night guard to be more effective, it is imperative that it be individually customized. To provide comfort and superior protection against grinding and clenching of the teeth, a dental professional will make an impression of an individuals teeth that is used to create a mold for the night guard. Although we do not treat Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ), some patients find that wearing a night guard may help provide some relief from TMJ or teeth grinding.
This procedure can be used to help treat an infected or severely decayed tooth. During a root canal, a tooths interior nerve and pulp are removed before the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Extreme tooth pain can be a sign that a root canal is needed, but without treatment the pain can further intensify and result in a serious infection and abscess. Some patients or teeth will require a visit to an endodontist specialist.

Dr. Dorothy Paul has been my dentist for many years now. She provides me with a high quality care, on a as needed basis. Never pushy, or one to look for problems that are not there. Her staff is friendly and helpful, so it's always a great experience to get my teeth cleaned, or have any other dental work done. I highly recommend Dr. Paul, to anyone looking for a great dentist.

Great care, wonderful staff, nice relaxing office. Ingrid cleaned my teeth and Dr. Paul added a small filling to my new crown so that it wouldn't bother me anymore. I just love everyone who works there, and I know I get excellent care there.

I am so thankful to have Dr. Dorothy Paul as our family dentist. On July 1st-Friday night, my front tooth crown fell off. Yes, the first night of the long holiday weekend. I was worried about a tooth infection, about the pain, and having to wait days before I could see the doctor due to the holiday weekend. On Saturday morning -- knowing that Dr. Paul's office was closed -- I called to let them know and to see if they could give me an appointment as soon as possible. I wasn't expecting an appointment over the weekend, but I hoped to be first in line when they returned from the holiday weekend. To my surprise on Saturday morning, I received a reply within 10 minutes. Dr. Paul asked me to send photos to make an evaluation. She replied quickly and stated that she could see me that Saturday morning in her office. By noon on Saturday, I had my crown back on my front tooth. I could smile big again. Thank you, Dr. Paul, for seeing me over a holiday weekend! You are the Best! I'm so grateful. Dr. Dorothy Paul is a wonderful dentist. She truly cares about the well-being of her patients. She has all the greatest qualities of successful doctors. Furthermore, all members of her staff are professional, caring and well trained in their fields of expertise. Such a great team!
