At Funzone, we pride ourselves on providing the best pediatric dental and orthodontic care possible. Our highly trained doctors and dental team focus on creating a warm, comfortable, and kid-friendly environment. Our vision is to make dentistry FUN while minimizing the anxiety many young people experience at the dental office. Helping a child feel at ease and less frightened is a major step toward helping them to develop good oral care habits. We are firm believers in prevention and education as the KEY to a happy and healthy smile. We offer a wide variety of dental services including, but not limited to:
We seek to educate our patients by not only performing routine professional cleanings and dental check ups, but also educating parents on how to establish proper oral care habits from childhood that will last a lifetime. As your dental and orthodontic home, we understand that every child is different and that we must address each individual set of circumstances in order to insure a smooth and successful dental visit. With your help we are able to do just that! Engaging with our patients, praising and using positive reinforcements, ultimately builds trust and minimizes fear and anxiety for our young patients.

Your dentist may refer you to an orthodontist if youre looking to improve your smile by straightening crooked teeth, correcting a misaligned bite, of aligning the jaw correctly. Orthodontists are dental specialists with the training and skills to aid with the diagnosis and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.
Your orthodontist can recommend different types of fixed or removable appliances to help move your teeth, retrain muscles, or influence the growth of your jaws. These devices work by exerting gentle pressure on the teeth and jaws to facilitate gradual movement.
In most cases, your general dentist will recommend that you visit an orthodontist if you need specialized care and treatment for crooked teeth or a bad bite. That said, it is recommended that children visit the orthodontist for the first time by the age of 7 years.
If a patient needs orthodontic treatment, early interceptive treatment, braces, headgear, and other orthodontic devices typically yield the best results when interventions are introduced as early as possible.
That said, teens and adults can also seek orthodontic treatment to improve the function of their mouth and enhance their smile. Early treatment helps to improve oral hygiene and reduce the risk of gum disease, cavities, and other oral problems. Your orthodontist and dentist will work together to create the best treatment plan for optimal results.

Had to get a crown and a small filling today, 11.2.2022. I've been with this service for the past 29 years, but when I first started it was GMS Dental. I can truly and honestly say, I have never had a bad experience with neither the service / staff. I used to receive my care at the 610 Loop & Ella, but they have closed, so now my care is in the hands of staff at the Channelview location. They are an awesome TEAM. I pray I remain at the location for the duration. Thank you, Channelview Family Smiles..!!!
