Serving Green Ridge North Since 1997

A Green Ridge North Dentist for a Neighborhood Community

Green Ridge North is one of the most established residential communities in the 77060 zip code — 1,189 single-family homes with a genuine HOA, an Aquatic Centre on Glazebrook Drive, and a community that's been here long enough to know the value of having a reliable dentist nearby. Our office on Greenspoint Dr is approximately one mile from that Aquatic Centre.


Green Ridge North is primarily a homeowner community — families who've put down roots in the neighborhood and whose dental needs span multiple generations. We see grandparents who've been patients since Dr. Bosse opened in 1997, parents bringing their kids in from Thompson Elementary or Stovall Middle, and young adults returning to the neighborhood and looking for a dentist they don't have to explain themselves to. That continuity of care matters. When Dr. Bosse has seen your family over years, he knows your history — your previous work, your sensitivities, what you've been putting off and why.

Emergency Dental Care

What We Treat — Same Day, Near Green Ridge North

01

Toothache & Nerve Pain

A toothache that radiates into the jaw, ear, or temple, or that prevents you from sleeping, is almost always a sign of decay that has reached the nerve. Over-the-counter painkillers can take the edge off but won't address the underlying infection — and delay typically turns a root canal into an extraction. Green Ridge North residents can call us at 281-823-9987 at 8 AM and typically be seen by mid-morning. Dr. Bosse will use digital X-rays to identify the source, walk you through the findings, and give you a clear recommendation before any treatment begins. The goal is always to save the tooth if it's viable. If it isn't, we'll explain why and what the replacement options look like.

02

Dental Abscess & Facial Swelling

An abscess — a pocket of infection at the root of a tooth or in the gum tissue — is among the most serious dental emergencies because of how quickly it can spread. If you have any visible swelling of the face, jaw, or neck, a fever, or pain so severe that nothing touches it, call 281-823-9987 immediately and come in without waiting. We see same-day abscess patients every week. Treatment typically involves draining the infection, prescribing antibiotics to address what's spread, and then treating the source tooth — either through a root canal to save it or an extraction if the tooth is unsalvageable. Do not apply heat, and do not wait overnight hoping it improves on its own.

03

Knocked-Out Tooth

For Green Ridge North families with kids in Aldine ISD, knocked-out teeth are a real and recurring concern — sports, playgrounds, and the Aquatic Centre all present that risk. The steps matter: pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root; rinse it gently without scrubbing; try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in saliva or milk if that's not possible; and get to our office within 30–60 minutes. Call 281-823-9987 on the way. For a permanent tooth, acting within that window gives you a meaningful chance of saving it. For a baby tooth that's been knocked out, call us first — the approach is different and we'll guide you through it.

04

Cracked or Broken Tooth

A cracked or broken tooth can result from biting down on something hard, sports injuries, or accidents common to the North Houston area. While a small chip may not cause pain, a fracture that reaches the nerve causes sharp, intense pain whenever you bite or when exposed to hot and cold temperatures. We assess the extent of the damage with X-rays and offer same-day solutions including dental bonding for minor chips, a same-day dental crown to protect a more seriously fractured tooth, or root canal therapy if the nerve is involved. Left untreated, a cracked tooth becomes vulnerable to infection and often requires more extensive — and expensive — care.

05

Lost or Broken Crown

Lost crowns and broken fillings are among the most common non-emergency calls we receive — and they tend to happen at the worst moments, usually mid-meal or discovered first thing in the morning. When a crown comes off, the tooth underneath is immediately exposed to bacteria and pressure. The longer it goes unprotected, the more likely a straightforward re-cement becomes something more involved. Bring whatever came out with you when you come in. If the crown is intact and fits correctly, we can often re-cement it the same day. If it's not salvageable, we'll take an impression and place a temporary restoration immediately so the tooth is protected while a permanent one is made.

06

Wisdom Tooth Pain

Partially erupted or impacted wisdom teeth are a common source of acute pain in teenagers and young adults — a significant demographic in a family-oriented community like Green Ridge North. When a wisdom tooth is coming in at an angle, it creates a pocket between the tooth and the overlying gum tissue that traps food and bacteria, leading to pericoronitis — an infection of the gum around the emerging tooth. Symptoms include swelling at the back of the jaw, difficulty opening the mouth, and pain that radiates toward the ear. We can assess the tooth's position with digital X-rays, treat the immediate infection, and advise on whether extraction is indicated and what the timing and process look like.

When to Go to the ER vs. Call Our Office

When to Go to the ER vs. Call Our Office

Call us at 281-823-9987 for tooth-specific emergencies including knocked-out teeth, abscesses, broken crowns, and severe toothaches. Go to the nearest emergency room if you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, an abscess causing significant airway swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding that will not stop. For all other dental emergencies in the Green Ridge North neighborhood, we are faster, more affordable, and better equipped to treat dental conditions than a general ER.

Your Doctor

The Same Doctor Since 1997 — Not a Rotating Resident

Dr. Bosse opened Greenspoint Dental the same year many of Green Ridge North's current homeowners were putting down roots. He's been here through every phase of this neighborhood's evolution — and his approach to dentistry hasn't changed in three decades: examine carefully, explain clearly, and never do more than what's actually needed.


Green Ridge North families tend to be long-term patients once they come in. The continuity matters — Dr. Bosse knows your history, tracks changes over time, and builds treatment plans that account for your full dental picture rather than just the acute issue in front of him.

Highly recommend! Dr. Louis ensures you understand what the plan is for you and makes you feel comfortable. He listens to you! His staff is friendly and goes out of their way to help in any way they can. Shout out to Veronica, Vee, and Mindy! They were all great in helping me not be nervous and calm my anxiety about routine cleanings or procedures I had to have done. The best!

Great service, the office is nice and inviting. Cleaning was great! I loved my hygienist. This was my first time back since the 90s. And it was a great experience. They explained everything well. They have new scan technology that allows you as the patient an upfront view of your teeth. The doc didnt rush through with his visit. I will definitely be back to fix the rest of my teeth.

I was not happy today. I scheduled this appointment a couple of weeks ago for the service I needed to have done. After being checked in and taken to the back, I was approached by a member of the staff to tell me the cost of $416.00 had now gone to $590.00 and had a couple of services on the paper that I didn’t have. I was also told that I needed to come back at 2:30 which was not okay. When I schedule my appointments I ask all the necessary questions because I do not want any surprises. I am very disappointed because I had absolutely NOTHING done today.

I really enjoy my visit today. Everyone was super nice and friendly. The dentist explain everything to me. He even was joking with me to help me feel more relaxed. I was recommend here by my sister, who's stated"She will only be going here for now on". I was giving a plan of action and everything is affordable for me with insurance. My visit went better than what I thought so I highly recommend Greenpoint Dental.

The staff here are wonderful. Appointments are kept timely and everyone I have interacted with are attentive. Dr is also respectable and open to answering your questions. I didn’t feel rushed at my cleaning appointments with the hygienist nor during inquiry on Invisalign with the Doc. I would recommend this dental office and team! Office kept clean and polite staff 🙂 whoever is in charge of promotions and raises, please keep your staff as they made a big difference on my experience and willingness to come back to this office going forward!

How close is Greenspoint Dental to Green Ridge North?

Greenspoint Dental is located at 12523 Greenspoint Dr — approximately one mile from the heart of Green Ridge North near Glazebrook Drive. Most residents reach our office in under five minutes without using the freeway. Head north on Goodson Dr or La Fonda Dr toward Greenspoint Dr, then turn left. Free parking is available on-site, and we hold same-day emergency slots every morning for patients who need immediate care.

Do you treat children from Green Ridge North and Aldine ISD schools?

Yes — pediatric dentistry is a significant part of what we do for Green Ridge North families. We see children from Thompson Elementary, Stovall Middle School, and Aldine High School regularly. Dr. Bosse takes a patient approach with kids, and our team is experienced in making younger patients comfortable during exams, cleanings, sealants, and first-time visits. Saturday appointments are available for families who need to schedule around the school week.

What is the fastest way to get emergency dental care from Green Ridge North?

Call 281-823-9987 as soon as the emergency occurs — our team triages every call and will tell you exactly how quickly to come in based on your symptoms. We are approximately one mile from Glazebrook Drive and can typically have a Green Ridge North patient in the chair within the hour on a same-day basis. Do not drive yourself if you are in severe pain — have a family member or neighbor bring you in while you call ahead so we can prepare.

Does Greenspoint Dental accept patients with no dental insurance from Green Ridge North?

Yes. Roughly half our patient base either has no insurance or has coverage that doesn't fully cover certain procedures. Our $39 exam and X-ray special and $99 new patient package (exam, X-rays, and cleaning) are available regardless of insurance status. For larger treatment plans, we offer internal payment plans — no third-party credit application required. We determine a monthly payment structure that works within your budget before any treatment begins.

Can I afford emergency dental care without insurance?

A dental emergency is any oral condition requiring immediate care to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection from spreading, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies we treat in Green Ridge North include: knocked-out or loose teeth; dental abscesses with swelling; broken teeth with exposed nerves; severe, persistent toothaches; uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth; lost crowns or fillings causing pain; and swelling in the face or jaw. Soft tissue injuries from accidents or sports also qualify. If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us and we will help you decide.

My child had a fall near the Aquatic Centre — what should I do about a loose or knocked-out tooth?

A loose permanent tooth after a physical impact should be treated as a dental emergency. Do not wiggle or pull the tooth — keep it in place and call 281-823-9987 immediately. If the tooth has been knocked completely out, handle it by the crown only, keep it moist in saliva or milk, and get to our office within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of reimplantation. For a baby (primary) tooth, the urgency is lower but we still recommend calling us to assess whether the root has been damaged and whether it could affect the incoming permanent tooth.

How soon after a dental injury should I see a dentist?

A dental emergency is any oral condition requiring immediate care to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection from spreading, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies we treat in Green Ridge North include: knocked-out or loose teeth; dental abscesses with swelling; broken teeth with exposed nerves; severe, persistent toothaches; uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth; lost crowns or fillings causing pain; and swelling in the face or jaw.
