Convenient Access from Ashford Hills
Plan on about 5 minutes for the 1.9-mile drive from the Ashford Hills pool to Energy Dental. Our office sits on Eldridge Parkway in west Houston, close enough that a dentist near Ashford Hills can be part of a normal morning rather than a half-day outing. Dr. Laya Omranian sees patients of every age, with particular attention to the crowns, implants and dentures that long-time homeowners tend to need.
From the pool on Ainsdale Dr, turn right onto Ashford Hills Dr and follow it to Beaconshire Rd, which brings you out to Briar Forest Dr. Go left (west) on Briar Forest Dr, past Ray Daily Elementary, then right (north) onto Eldridge Pkwy. Turn left onto Brimhurst Dr; the office is on that corner at 1398 Eldridge Pkwy S #220, Houston, TX 77077 (see the location on Google Maps). Patients from Ashford Forest and The Parkway at Eldridge also come in by way of Eldridge.
Why Ashford Hills Residents Value a Nearby Dental Office
Ashford Hills is a patio-home neighborhood tucked behind Dairy Ashford Rd and Briar Forest Dr, inside the City of Houston and Harris County. Arbor Homes built it in the early 1980s with high ceilings and open floor plans. A 2003 Houston Chronicle story, shared on the association's site, called the homes "ahead of their time."
Some owners have been here from the start. One original resident moved into a brand-new house in 1982 after Conoco offered relocation help to employees moving near its westside campus. Today the association describes the community as home to families, professionals and retirees.
The neighborhood keeps its own green space, with four small parks and a community pool owned and maintained by the homeowners association. That same 2003 story noted that living inside SH 6 cuts out much of the long commuting traffic farther west. Short trips are part of the appeal here, and a dental office five minutes away fits right in.
Families noticed the schools as well. The same article named the then-new West Briar Middle School and Westside High School as a draw for buyers, and Ray Daily Elementary sits on Briar Forest Dr along the drive to our office.
Dental Needs That Come With Decades in Ashford Hills
Teeth age along with everything else. Fillings and crowns placed in the 1980s and 1990s reach the end of their service life, gums recede, and a tooth lost years ago can let its neighbors drift. None of this is unusual, but it does call for a plan.
For one missing tooth, a single implant replaces the root and the crown without involving the teeth next to it. When several teeth are gone, implant-supported bridges and full-arch options such as All-On-4 and Fix-On-Six are available.
Not everyone wants or needs implants. Well-fitted dentures and partials remain a sound choice for many Ashford Hills retirees, and they can be updated when the fit changes over time.
Sleep is part of the picture too. Snoring, morning headaches and daytime fatigue are symptoms our sleep apnea page lists, and Dr. Omranian can make a custom oral appliance that helps keep the airway open at night.
Implants, Dentures and More From a Dentist Near Ashford Hills
Dental Implants
Implant care covers one tooth, several teeth or a full arch. New patients can book a free implant consultation that includes an evaluation, digital imaging and a treatment plan with payment options; it does not include a comprehensive exam.
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures rebuild teeth worn by decades of use. Many crowns are designed and milled in the office with CEREC, so the work is finished in one appointment.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Custom oral appliances help open the airway during sleep. For Ashford Hills couples kept awake by one partner's snoring, a checkup is a good place to raise it.
Periodontics
Gum disease is treated without surgery whenever possible, through scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy and laser therapy. Periodontal maintenance visits then keep the gums stable around natural teeth and implants alike.
Family Dentistry
When grandchildren visit or grown children move back nearby, everyone can be seen at the same office. Family care runs from a toddler's first checkup to a senior's denture adjustment.
If a few years have passed since your last checkup, the first appointment is the place to catch up. It runs about 90 to 120 minutes and includes digital x-rays, a CT scan and a complimentary intraoral scan. The exam then screens for gum disease, oral cancer, sleep apnea, bite problems and cavities, so you leave with one clear plan instead of a string of separate referrals.
Meet Dr. Omranian and Our Team
Dr. Laya Omranian treats dentistry as both a science and an art, aiming for care that is modern, minimally invasive and customized. Destiny, our dental assistant, works alongside her at the chair, and office manager Jessica helps patients line up appointments and insurance details.

Ameritas PPO and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Dental PPO are among the plans in our network. Cherry spreads treatment into monthly payments for up to 24 months with no hard credit check, which helps with larger implant or denture plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Energy Dental from Ashford Hills, and how do I get there?
From the Ashford Hills pool, the office is 1.9 miles away, about a 5-minute drive. The route follows Ashford Hills Dr and Beaconshire Rd to Briar Forest Dr, then west to Eldridge Pkwy and north to Brimhurst Dr. Choosing a dentist near Ashford Hills means skipping SH 6 and the freeway entirely for routine visits.
What is the difference between single and multiple implants?
A single implant replaces one missing tooth, root and crown together. Multiple implants replace several teeth, either one implant per tooth or a few implants supporting a bridge. Full-arch options such as All-On-4 and Fix-On-Six go further and replace a whole row, so the right option depends on how many teeth are missing and where.
Can a full arch of missing teeth be replaced with implants?
Yes, a full upper or lower arch can be rebuilt on implants. All-On-4 supports a complete arch on four implants, and Fix-On-Six uses six. Both give you fixed teeth that stay in place rather than a removable denture, and Dr. Omranian reviews imaging with you to see which approach suits your jaw.
Is a partial denture an option if I still have some teeth?
Yes, a partial denture is made for exactly that situation. It fills the gaps while keeping your remaining natural teeth in place. Partials can be a good fit for retirees who want a removable option, and an implant-supported bridge is the fixed alternative if you would rather not take anything out at night.
Can a dentist help with snoring?
Yes, a dentist can make a custom oral appliance that helps keep your airway open while you sleep. Loud snoring, morning headaches and daytime tiredness are signs worth mentioning at your next visit. Dr. Omranian fits the appliance to your bite, and you wear it only at night.
