Yes. Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights reserves dedicated daily time slots for emergency patients and accepts walk-ins. If you have a toothache, swelling, broken tooth, lost crown, or dental injury, call (832) 662-2244 for same-day scheduling. Emergency callback requests submitted online are typically confirmed within minutes.

Yes. Dr. Rouhani evaluates broken, chipped, or cracked teeth using digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to assess both visible and internal structural damage. Depending on severity, treatment options include dental bonding, a tooth-colored filling, an inlay, or a same-day crown — all available during your emergency visit at our Houston Heights office.

Yes — facial swelling, pus, fever, or severe throbbing tooth pain are signs of a dental abscess, which is an active bacterial infection. Abscesses require same-day treatment to prevent the infection from spreading to surrounding bone and tissue. Call Clio Dental Studio at (832) 662-2244 immediately if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.

Call Clio Dental Studio at (832) 662-2244 as soon as possible. Severe tooth pain is most commonly caused by deep decay, a dental abscess, a cracked tooth, or pulp inflammation — none of which resolve on their own. Our team will perform same-day digital X-rays to identify the source and provide immediate pain relief during your emergency visit.

Avoid chewing on that side and call us at (832) 662-2244 right away. A lost crown exposes the prepared tooth beneath it, which is structurally vulnerable to fracture under normal chewing pressure. We can re-cement, refit, or place a protective temporary restoration on the same day you call.

Most people benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. If you have a history of gum problems, Dr. Rouhani may recommend more frequent visits.

A routine cleaning is typically comfortable. The team works gently and can adjust if you have sensitive teeth or gums.

A routine cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar from healthy teeth and gums. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats gum disease by cleaning further beneath the gumline.

Polishing removes surface stains from food and drink, so teeth often look brighter. For a whiter shade, see professional teeth whitening.

Not always. Digital X-rays are taken when they are needed to check for problems that cannot be seen during the exam.

Preventive cleanings are often covered by PPO plans. The practice accepts most major PPO plans, and the Clio Care Plan is available if you do not have insurance.

Yes. Professional fluoride is applied in small, controlled amounts by the dental team and is a standard part of preventive care for children and adults.

Many adults benefit, especially if you are prone to cavities, have sensitive teeth, have dry mouth or wear braces or aligners. Dr. Rouhani recommends it based on your risk.

Just a few minutes, at the end of your cleaning. It is painless.

You will be told how long to wait before eating and drinking, so the fluoride has time to absorb.

Typically at your regular cleaning visits. How often depends on your cavity risk.

Fluoride is often covered for children, and coverage for adults depends on your plan. The practice gives you a breakdown before treatment.

They are made of composite resin, a durable tooth-colored material that is bonded directly to the tooth and matched to the shade of your enamel.

Composite fillings are durable and resistant to fractures under normal chewing pressure, and their bond supports the remaining tooth structure.

Yes. Dr. Rouhani removes the old amalgam safely and restores each tooth with natural-looking composite.

Yes. Tooth-colored fillings are metal-free and mercury-free.

Most fillings are completed in one visit.

The area is typically numbed before treatment, and the team works for maximum comfort and minimum stress.

Dental organizations typically recommend a first visit by a child's first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth. If your child is older, it is never too late to start.

A gentle, child-friendly exam of the teeth, gums, bite and growth, often a cleaning, and simple advice for home care. The visit moves at your child's pace.

Typically every six months, or as recommended based on your child's cavity risk.

Yes. If a child needs a filling, the options are explained clearly first, and care is kept as conservative as possible.

Keep it positive and simple at home. The team uses gentle communication and explains each step in words children understand, so they feel safe.

Often, yes. Fluoride strengthens new teeth and sealants help protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Recommendations depend on your child's age and cavity risk.

Common signs are gums that bleed when you brush or floss, persistent bad breath, red or swollen gums, receding gums and loose teeth. Early gum disease is often painless, so regular check-ups are the best way to catch it.

Gingivitis, the early stage, is typically reversible with professional care and good home care. Periodontitis cannot be fully undone, but treatment stops it from getting worse and keeps your teeth stable.

It is a deep cleaning beneath the gumline that removes bacteria and hardened tartar, so the gums can heal and reattach to the teeth.

Treatment is designed to be comfortable. Laser therapy is gentle, and in many cases gum disease is treated without scalpels or stitches, which means less inflammation and a faster recovery.

You get a maintenance schedule tailored to your gums. Keeping those visits is what keeps the infection from coming back.

Research has linked gum disease with heart disease, stroke and diabetes, so treating it early supports your whole-body health as well as your smile.

Bruxism is the habit of clenching or grinding your teeth, often during sleep or at times of stress. Over time it can wear enamel, chip teeth and strain the jaw joints and muscles.

Common signs are jaw pain on waking, flattened or chipped teeth, tooth sensitivity, a clicking jaw and morning headaches. A partner may also hear the grinding.

Yes. A custom nightguard is made from a 3D scan of your bite, so it fits snugly, stays in place and lets you breathe easily. Store-bought guards rarely fit well.

A nightguard protects your teeth and helps your jaw muscles relax, but it does not always stop the habit. Dr. Rouhani also looks at the cause, such as your bite or stress.

Rinse and clean it after each use, let it dry in its case, and bring it to your check-ups so the fit can be checked.

Yes. If you grind, a nightguard helps protect veneers, crowns and other dental work from damage.

A custom mouthguard is made from a digital scan of your bite, so it fits precisely, stays in place and offers better comfort and shock absorption than a boil-and-bite guard.

Contact sports such as football, hockey and basketball, and high-impact activities such as gymnastics, skateboarding and mountain biking.

Yes. Because it fits your teeth closely, a custom mouthguard is less bulky, so breathing and speaking are easier.

Yes. Mouthguards come in fun colors and can include team logos or player numbers.

Made from durable materials, it can last season after season. Growing children may need a new one as their teeth change.

Rinse it with cool water after every use, keep it in a ventilated case, and bring it to your check-ups so the fit can be checked.

Yes. For many patients with obstructive sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance made by a dentist is an effective treatment. A sleep study confirms the diagnosis first.

It is a small, custom-fit device that looks like a mouthguard. It gently repositions your lower jaw and tongue to keep your airway open while you sleep.

For many patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or those who cannot tolerate CPAP, it is. Some patients use both. The right option depends on your diagnosis.

A diagnosis is needed before treatment. Dr. Rouhani reviews your sleep history and may coordinate a sleep study to confirm it.

Oral appliances typically reduce snoring, which helps you and your partner sleep better.

It is custom-made from a digital scan of your teeth for a secure fit, and it is adjusted until it feels comfortable.

Untreated sleep apnea can raise the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, and it causes daytime fatigue.

Professional whitening is usually the first step. If stains do not respond to whitening, veneers or bonding can cover them.

A plan that combines treatments, such as Invisalign, whitening, veneers or bonding, in the right order to change the overall look of your smile.

Bonding uses tooth-colored resin applied in one visit and is more affordable. Porcelain veneers are custom shells that last longer and resist stains better.

That is the goal. Color, shape and length are chosen to suit your face and features, and many treatments can be previewed before you commit.

Most purely cosmetic treatments are not covered, though restorative work like crowns may be partly covered. Financing and the Clio Care Plan can make treatment easier to budget.

Yes, and it often helps. Straightening with Invisalign first can reduce how much tooth needs to be adjusted for veneers.

About an hour. Your gums are protected, then a professional whitening gel activated by a gentle light lifts deep stains.

Most people reach their ideal shade in one to two weeks using custom trays made for their teeth.

Most patients feel little or no discomfort. Enamel-safe techniques and desensitizing agents keep sensitivity to a minimum, and the plan can be adjusted if you are prone to it.

No. Whitening only lightens natural teeth, so dental work keeps its color. Dr. Rouhani plans your shade so everything matches.

It depends on your habits. Avoiding staining food and drink for 24 to 48 hours afterwards, regular cleanings and occasional touch-ups with take-home trays keep your smile bright.

Professional whitening uses stronger, professional-grade formulas with custom-fitted trays or in-office application, so results are more even and predictable, with better protection for your gums.

With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years, and some patients keep their new smiles even longer. That makes veneers the longest-lasting way to restore your smile. Composite veneers usually last less time but are easy to repair if they chip.

Veneers are minimally invasive: little to no natural tooth structure needs to be removed, depending on the case and the material. Dr. Rouhani explains exactly what your plan involves at the consultation.

Yes. After an iTero 3D scan, a temporary mock-up lets you preview your new smile before final placement.

Porcelain is the most durable and stain-resistant option. Composite is more affordable, can often be done in one visit and is easy to repair. The right choice depends on your goals, lifestyle and budget.

After your consultation, typically two quick appointments: tooth preparation, when a 3D scan is taken and temporary veneers are placed, then final placement once your veneers come back from the dental lab partner, usually about 2-3 weeks later.

Porcelain is nonporous and nearly impervious to stains, so tea, coffee and soda will not stain your veneers.

No. Veneers keep the shade they are made in, so if you want whiter natural teeth, whitening is usually done first and the veneers are matched to it.

Veneers are usually considered cosmetic, so most insurance plans do not cover them. Financing through Cherry, Alphaeon, Sunbit and CareCredit is available, and the Clio Care Plan includes 15% off procedures.

Brush, floss and keep your regular check-ups. Avoid biting hard objects, and wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.

With regular brushing, flossing and cleanings, bonded teeth can last many years. The bonded areas can be refinished or polished at your check-ups to keep them looking their best.

Bonding is typically comfortable. Because little or no tooth structure is removed, most bonding is done without injections.

Bonding is usually finished in a single visit, with no downtime afterward.

No. Composite keeps the shade it is matched to, so if you want whiter teeth, whitening is usually done first.

Bonding suits small repairs and is more affordable. Porcelain veneers are more stain-resistant and suit larger changes to color and shape. Dr. Rouhani helps you choose at your visit.

Composite resists stains well but can pick up some color over time, especially from coffee, tea or red wine. Polishing at your check-ups keeps it bright.

Many cases take 6 to 24 months. Minor alignment can finish sooner, while bite correction and larger movements take longer. Your iTero scan-based plan gives you your own timeline at the consultation.

Most patients wear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush and floss. Wear time is one of the biggest predictors of success.

It depends on how complex your case is, how long treatment runs and how many aligners and refinements you need. Clio Dental Studio gives you an exact quote at a complimentary consultation, based on your digital scan rather than a general range.

Some PPO plans include orthodontic benefits. Clio Dental Studio accepts most major PPO plans, verifies your benefits and gives you a written breakdown of coverage and out-of-pocket costs.

Yes. Financing is available through Cherry, Alphaeon Credit and Sunbit. Patients without insurance can also join the Clio Care Plan, which includes 15% off procedures.

Yes. The iTero digital scanner shows a projected preview of your smile on screen before you commit to treatment.

Invisalign is a great fit if you want a discreet, removable option and can commit to wear time. Braces can be better for severe or complex movements that need maximum control. The consultation tells you which suits your case.

Take your aligners out to eat and to drink anything other than water, then brush before putting them back in. This prevents staining, warping and trapped sugar that can cause cavities.

Yes. Clio Dental Studio offers Invisalign Teen, with the same clear-aligner approach planned for a growing smile.

From consultation to final teeth, most cases take several months, because the implant needs time to fuse with the bone. Cases that need extractions or bone grafting first take longer. Your written care plan gives you your own timeline.

Placement is done with the area fully numbed, and most patients describe the recovery as manageable soreness for a few days. Dr. Rouhani explains what to expect for your case before treatment.

Often, yes. Bone grafting can rebuild volume in many cases, and All-on-4 angles the back implants to reach denser bone, which can avoid extensive grafting. A cone beam CT scan shows which path is available to you.

It depends on how many teeth are replaced, your bone health, whether extractions or grafting are needed, and the type of restoration. Clio Dental Studio gives you a written plan with transparent costs after your cone beam CT scan, before any work begins.

Some PPO plans cover part of implant treatment. Clio Dental Studio accepts most major PPO plans and gives you a breakdown of estimated coverage before treatment. Financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit and Alphaeon is also available.

Implant-supported dentures clip onto implants and can be removed for cleaning. All-on-4 is a fixed full arch attached to four implants that only your dentist removes.

Yes. Temporary options are planned so you are not left without teeth. For All-on-4, a temporary arch can often be placed on the day of surgery.

For many people, yes: implants are fixed, look natural, help preserve the jawbone and leave neighboring teeth untouched. Whether they are right for you depends on your bone, gums, health and goals, which the consultation answers.

Traditional dentures rest on your gums and are removable. Implant-supported dentures snap or screw onto dental implants placed in the jawbone, so they are far more stable and do not need adhesive.

Yes. If you still have some healthy teeth, a partial denture replaces the missing ones. Full dentures replace a whole arch.

Each denture is customized, from tooth shape and shade to gum color and alignment, so it suits your features and looks natural.

No. The implants act as artificial tooth roots and hold the denture in place, so you can eat, speak and laugh without worrying about slipping.

Traditional dentures do not stimulate the jawbone, which is why their fit can change over time. Implant-supported dentures stimulate the bone and help prevent bone loss.

Often, yes. It depends on how much bone you have, which Dr. Rouhani checks with 3D cone beam imaging before recommending a plan.

Coverage depends on your plan. The practice accepts most major PPO plans and gives you a written breakdown. Financing through Cherry, Alphaeon, Sunbit and CareCredit is available, and the Clio Care Plan includes 15% off procedures.

With good care, crowns typically last many years. Brushing, flossing, regular check-ups and protecting your teeth from grinding help them last longer.

The tooth is numbed before it is prepared, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards is common.

Usually two: one to prepare and scan the tooth and fit a temporary, and one to fit your final crown.

A crown covers and protects one damaged tooth. A bridge replaces missing teeth by anchoring false teeth to crowns on the teeth either side of the gap.

A bridge is quicker but relies on the neighboring teeth; an implant leaves them untouched and supports the jawbone. Dr. Rouhani explains which suits your case.

Many PPO plans cover part of the cost of crowns and bridges. Clio Dental Studio accepts most major PPO plans and gives you a breakdown before treatment.

The tooth is numbed first, so most patients say it feels much like having a filling. Treatment relieves the pain the infection was causing. Mild tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal.

Common signs are lingering pain when biting, sensitivity to hot or cold that does not fade, swollen or tender gums, a darkening tooth or a bump on the gum. An exam and digital imaging confirm it.

Many root canals are completed in one visit, though some need two. A crown is usually fitted afterwards to protect the tooth.

Usually, yes, especially on back teeth. A crown protects the treated tooth from cracking and restores its strength.

Keeping your natural tooth is usually the better long-term choice. An extraction leaves a gap that can let neighboring teeth drift and usually needs an implant, bridge or denture.

Many PPO plans cover part of root canal treatment. Clio Dental Studio accepts most major PPO plans and gives you a breakdown before treatment.

It is a treatment plan that rebuilds several or all of your teeth at once, combining crowns, bridges, veneers, implants or bonding as one coordinated case to restore health, function and appearance.

You may be if you have several broken, worn or missing teeth, large or failing fillings, bite problems from uneven wear, or you want a complete smile makeover. A consultation with digital scans confirms it.

It depends on the treatments your plan includes. Your plan review sets out each stage and its timeline before you begin.

Yes. Digital scans and in-office 3D-printed prototypes let your new bite and smile be checked before the final restorations are made.

They overlap. A smile makeover focuses mainly on appearance, while full mouth reconstruction also restores the health and function of your teeth and bite.

The practice accepts most major PPO plans and gives you a written breakdown. Financing through Cherry, Alphaeon, Sunbit and CareCredit is available, and the Clio Care Plan includes 15% off procedures.

Wisdom teeth usually come in during the late teens or early twenties. Removing problem wisdom teeth early often prevents pain, infection and crowding later on.

No. Some grow in straight and healthy. Dr. Rouhani checks yours with digital X-rays or 3D imaging and recommends removal only when there is a reason.

An impacted wisdom tooth is stuck in the bone or gum, or growing at an angle, because there is not enough room for it to come in properly.

The area is fully numbed before treatment, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Gentle options for anxiety relief are available if you need them.

Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Cold compresses, prescribed medication and a soft diet help you heal comfortably.

Stick to soft foods such as yogurt, soup and mashed potatoes until the area starts to heal, and avoid anything hard, crunchy or very hot.

It is often partly covered. The practice accepts most major PPO plans and gives you a breakdown before treatment. Financing through Cherry, Alphaeon, Sunbit and CareCredit is available.

Laser dentistry uses concentrated light energy to remove or reshape tissue with precision. It can replace scalpels and some drilling for a gentler treatment.

Most laser procedures need little to no numbing, and there is typically less bleeding and swelling afterward.

Gum disease, some cavities, tongue-tie and other soft-tissue corrections, gum contouring, and cold sores or mouth ulcers.

Yes. Dental lasers are FDA-approved and clinically proven safe for both adults and children, and the team is highly trained in laser protocols.

Often not. Lasers seal the tissue as they work, so many gum procedures are done without stitches.

Healing is typically faster than with traditional tools, and most people get back to their routine quickly.

Yes. Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film, and they are only taken when they are needed.

It depends on your age, dental history and risk of cavities or gum disease. Dr. Rouhani only recommends X-rays when they are needed.

Cavities between teeth and under fillings, infection at the root of a tooth, and changes in the bone that supports your teeth.

No. A small, smooth sensor is placed in your mouth for a few seconds per image.

Yes. The images appear on screen in seconds, and Dr. Rouhani reviews them with you.

Let the team know if you are pregnant or might be. Routine X-rays are typically postponed unless they are needed for your care.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a quick scan that creates a 3D model of your teeth, jaw, nerves, sinuses and bone, instead of the flat image of a standard X-ray.

Yes. It uses a focused, low-dose beam with far less radiation than a medical CT, and it is only used when 3D detail is needed.

The scanner rotates around your head in under 20 seconds. It is quiet and painless.

Typically for implant planning, complex root canals, wisdom tooth removal, full-arch restorations, and some orthodontic, jaw joint or airway evaluations.

No. The scan is done in the office, so there is no referral and no extra trip.

Yes. Dr. Rouhani reviews the 3D images with you and explains how they guide your treatment.

It is a small, pen-sized camera that takes high-resolution photos of your teeth and gums and shows them on a chairside screen in real time.

No. It is a regular camera, so there is no radiation, and it is completely non-invasive.

Seeing cracks, wear or decay for yourself makes it easier to understand your diagnosis and make confident decisions about treatment.

Yes. Images can be stored so changes can be tracked over time.

Clear photo documentation can support insurance claims for recommended treatment.

It is used whenever a close-up view helps, most often during exams and check-ups.

It is a digital impression. A small handheld wand captures thousands of images of your teeth and builds a precise 3D model of your mouth in minutes.

No. The scanner uses light-based optical imaging, not X-rays.

Just a few minutes for a complete 3D model of your teeth and bite.

For most patients, yes. There is no putty or gagging, the model is checked on the spot, and the precise fit means fewer adjustments.

Yes. The iTero scan can show a preview of how your teeth could move, so you see the plan before you commit.

Invisalign, crowns, bridges, veneers, nightguards, mouthguards, sleep apnea appliances and implant planning.

It uses your digital scan to build precise dental models, guides, appliances and temporary restorations layer by layer, right in the office.

Implant surgical guides, temporary and final restorations, nightguards and mouthguards, clear aligner models and retainers, and same-day crown and veneer prototypes.

Often, yes. Because items are printed, tried in and adjusted in the office, there is less waiting on outside labs and fewer appointments.

They are built precisely from your digital scan, then tried in and adjusted on the spot, so they fit accurately.

Yes. A printed model or prototype lets you see and check the planned result before the final work.

Yes. Your iTero scan or cone beam images are the starting point for every printed design.
