Taking the guesswork out of cosmetic dentistry.

At Saifee Family Dental, we know the importance of a healthy smile. That’s why we make sure that we have the most up-to-date techniques available to help you put your best smile forward and improve your confidence and self-esteem.

We’ve been meeting the dental health needs of Spring TX since 2000, and during that time we’ve established ourselves as one of the premier dental offices in the area. Our knowledgeable, friendly staff is always available to answer your questions and help you decide what is best for you, and meets your budget needs.

Veneers.

Veneers are thin sheets of porcelain that are placed over the surface of your teeth, restoring your smile to its’ natural beauty. They work well for teeth that are misshapen, discolored, chipped or misaligned, and can be matched to the color of your other teeth.

Veneers can also be used for teeth that are yellowed or stained, from coffee, tea, and medications such as tetracycline or smoking. Your dentist will do an examination and then spend some time talking with you about your expectations, the realities of what veneers can do for you, and how they will affect your overall smile. With good oral health care, veneers can last 10 years or more.

Lumineers.

Lumineers are contact-lens thin veneers that can be applied to your teeth with no grinding, drilling, shots or pain. They can be used to correct noticeable gaps in teeth, lengthen short teeth, correct broken or misshapen teeth and correct yellowing or discoloration.

Dental Bonding.

Dental bonding is a procedure that allows the dentist to apply a tooth-colored resin material to your teeth that is then hardened or “cured” with a special light. Often used in fillings, it can also be used for cosmetic purposes to correct issues such as receding gums, chipped or cracked teeth and permanent discoloration.

Snap-on-Smile.

Snap-on-Smile is a patented, painless way to obtain a flawless smile. Developed by a dentist who realized that not everyone can afford the expense of veneers, this easy system fits right over your existing teeth and allows you to eat, drink and speak just as normally as you would if you weren’t wearing anything. The best part is that no one will realize that you’re wearing them—they’ll just see your beautiful smile!

Zoom Whitening.

Sometimes, all your teeth need to be returned to their natural beauty is to be whitened. With Philips Zoom, a professional system that your dentist performs in the office, you’ll have whiter teeth and a dazzling smile in just one visit…up to eight shades whiter. If you prefer to take your treatments home, both day and night versions are available to meet your needs.

Dental Implants.

Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth. The dentist places a titanium post into the bone and attaches a replacement tooth to it, eliminating the need for dentures or partials, and giving you a natural looking solution.

Why preventative dentistry is a key component of good oral health

At Saifee Family Dentistry, your family’s oral health care is our top priority. Our state-of-the-art offices are located in Spring, TX. and our modern and up-to-date equipment and systems ensure that you are receiving the very best care possible.

Educating our patients is one of our top priorities. We strive to make sure that you understand every step of your procedure from the moment you walk into the office. Dr. Boxwalla takes the time to listen to your questions and provide you with the answers that you need to feel safe, secure and comfortable with your dental work.

Preventative Dentistry

When it comes to oral health, prevention is the key. Regular dental checkups every six months, coupled with good oral health habits at home will help to keep your teeth and gums in good condition and prevent damage and decay. Good oral hygiene habits include:
- Brushing and flossing after every meal.
- Using an anti-microbial mouthwash
- Making sure that children under 12 either brush using fluoridated toothpaste or take a fluoride supplement

Preventative Services That We Offer


Saifee Family Dentistry offers a comprehensive array of services designed to meet all your dental needs. Our state-of-the-art digital x-ray system eliminates the need for film, allowing you to see your results on the computer screen immediately. Digital x-rays also involve almost 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays and offer a clearer image than film x-rays.

Our intra-oral cameras are designed to provide you with a clear picture of what is going on inside your mouth, with no discomfort. A small pen-like device is attached to the computer via USB, and allows the doctor to take a video of the inside of your mouth, which can then be viewed on the computer monitor.

We at Saifee Family Dentistry understand that sometimes going to the dentist can be a frightening process, even for simple cleanings. We are proud to offer sedation dentistry, either through the use of nitrous oxide or oral sedation. If you have experienced issues in the past, including a previously traumatic dental visit, extremely sensitive teeth, an over-sensitive gag reflex, a fear of needles or shots, or just have a very high sense of fear when it comes to the dentist, let us put your mind at ease knowing that we can provide care at the highest level of comfort.

If you choose to have one of our sedation methods used, you will need to bring a companion with you on the day of your appointment, as you will not be able to drive when you are done. Our monitoring equipment will track your vital signs throughout the process, and chances are once you have finished your treatment, you will not even remember what took place.The effects will wear off in a few hours, and we will provide you with post-treatment instructions to ensure your comfort.

Call our Spring, TX. Office today at (281) 350-5600 and let us schedule your appointment without further delay. Your teeth will thank you!
