Why Sunrise
Meet Our Doctors
Why Houston Chooses Us
Four doctors, one standard of care — thorough diagnosis, honest treatment plans, and dentistry that lasts.
Dentistry Done Right
the First Time
Our doctors take the time to diagnose properly before recommending treatment. That means fewer redos, fewer surprises, and a plan you actually understand — from a routine cleaning to a full-arch implant reconstruction.

YEARS IN THE HEIGHTS
Generations of Houston families treated at the same N Shepherd Dr location.

Patient Reviews

Professional Care,
Patient-Backed Trust
“Everyone there is professional, nice and welcoming. I can't recommend enough.”
“I put off implants for years. Dr. Ahn walked me through the 3D scan and explained exactly what he'd do. It was far easier than I'd built it up to be.”
“We bring all three kids here. The hygienists are patient with them and the 7:30am slots mean we're not missing school.”
“Cracked a molar on a Saturday morning. They got me in before noon and I left with the tooth fixed, not just a prescription.”

Answers Before You Book
How often should I visit the dentist?
Twice a year for most people — a cleaning and an exam every six months catches small problems while they're still small and cheap. If you have gum disease, implants or a history of decay, we may recommend three or four visits a year.
Do dental treatments hurt?
Most of our patients are surprised by how little they feel. We use modern anesthetic techniques and take our time getting you numb before we start. For anything longer or for anxious patients, nitrous oxide and oral sedation are available — just ask when you book.
Do you accept my insurance?
We're in-network with Cigna PPO and Delta Dental PPO, and we file claims for most other major PPO plans as a courtesy. Bring your card to your first visit and our insurance coordinator will verify your benefits before treatment so there are no billing surprises.
What if I don't have insurance?
Our in-house membership plan covers your cleanings, exams and X-rays for a flat annual fee, plus a discount on any additional treatment. For larger cases like implants, we offer financing through Clerri so you can spread the cost over time.
How long do dental implants last?
A well-placed implant can last decades — many last a lifetime. The crown on top typically needs replacing after 10–15 years of normal wear. Success depends heavily on placement accuracy and bone health, which is why Dr. Ahn plans every case from a 3D scan.
Can you see me today for an emergency?
We hold emergency slots open every day, including Saturday mornings. Call us at (713) 869-9973 as early as you can — we open at 7:30am Monday through Friday and 7:30am on Saturdays.
