Did you know that your dentist should be an integral part of your healthcare team? Especially, with the connections between oral health and other non-dental health concerns like heart disease and diabetes. This is why developing a relationship with a dentist you can trust is so important.
If you're looking for a dentist in the Uptown Houston or Tanglewood neighborhoods, we would love to introduce you to Smiles Art Dentistry! Dr. Shawki Abed has over two decades of experience providing exceptional dental care, and we're accepting new patients. Here's everything you need to know before scheduling your first appointment at Smiles Art Dentistry.

We believe everyone should have access to exceptional dental care, so we work with several dental insurance companies to help reduce treatment costs and offer an in-house dental membership plan to make dentistry more affordable for patients. Our team also speaks Spanish and Arabic to help in clear communication with patients.
State-of-the-Art Technology at Smiles Art Dentistry
Dr. Abed has equipped our dental office with modern technology designed to enhance the patient experience. With 3-D cone-beam imaging that captures detailed images of your jaw joint (TMJ), teeth, and bone structures, and digital impressions that eliminate the mess and discomfort of traditional dental impressions, our technology elevates patient care. Our VELScope oral cancer screening allows Dr. Abed to identify potential areas of oral cancer, giving patients the best chance of an early diagnosis and successful treatment.
Patient comfort is a priority at Smiles Art Dentistry. We offer noise-canceling headphones for patients to use to relax during procedures, and televisions in treatment rooms where you can enjoy your favorite movie or program during longer procedures.
Making Exceptional Dental Care Affordable
These days, the cost of your dental care may be a concern. We understand, and we want to make it simple and convenient for you to receive the excellent care we believe every patient deserves.
That's why we accept several types of dental insurance and offer an in-house dental membership plan for patients without dental insurance. You can talk with our team about your dental insurance plan if you need help understanding and navigating your benefits. We are happy to help!
Understanding Dental Membership
A dental membership plan covers your bi-annual teeth cleanings, exams, and x-rays for one low yearly membership fee. If you need restorative care, the plan also gives you 20 percent savings off dental procedures.
Unlike dental insurance, here are some of the things you don't have to worry about with our dental membership plan:
- No waiting periods
- No yearly maximum for treatment
- No treatment limitations
- No annual deductibles to meet before coverage starts
- No treatment preauthorizations needed. You decide which procedures you need.
When you sign up for our dental membership plan, you can begin using your benefits immediately. This means you can get the treatment you need, when you need it most, without the limitations that dental insurance often applies. You can talk with a team member for more information about our dental membership plan.
