Board-certified orthodontist Vijay Bhagia has built a practice at Space Center Orthodontics that harnesses the latest digital technologies to correct patients' smiles. He uses cone-beam 3-D diagnostic imaging to capture detailed panoramic views of oral anatomy, such as bones, airways and sinuses, and rows of extra shark teeth. Once the terrain has been mapped out, the doctor helps to straighten misalignments in teeth and jaws. He and his staff fit adults or children with corrective equipment such as metal or clear braces, Invisalign aligners, and TMJ mouth guards.

The practice also puts an emphasis on patient comfort and enjoyment by outfitting the office with a slew of amenities. Its waiting room entertains patients in line for the dental chair with both Wii and PlayStation systems along with children's movies and fly-through visits by balloon geese. The office staff sews delight into mature crowds with a selection of intriguing books, news and entertainment magazines, and in-house ice cream to calm sweet-tooth cravings.

The chiropractic doctors at Clear Lake Chiropractic strive to treat the sources of pain and discomfort, not just the symptoms. X-rays help reveal potential issues, which the staff solves with adjustments and massage therapy. They also work to treat individuals who’ve been involved in motor-vehicle accidents or caught between hugging Robocops.

Dr. Cobbs and the staff at Charisse Cobbs, D.D.S. believe that individual attention is the key to long-lasting professional relationships, which is why they perform general and cosmetic dentistry based on each patient's health-related, financial, and social requirements. They help maintain mouths with procedures including bridges, crowns, limited root canals, and oral surgeries. Cosmetic treatments, such as Invisalign, Zoom whitening, and veneers, help to rearrange smiles, far surpassing the old technique of taping pictures of smiles over one's mouth.

Physique Studio's licensed technicians mold svelte, smooth silhouettes with noninvasive fat-reducing treatments. Liposculpture cavitation technology harnesses low-frequency ultrasound waves to break up unwanted fat cells, and infrared body wraps swaddle clients in radiant heat that helps tighten skin and melt icicles between toes. Each service is designed to trim inches and fat from such notoriously troublesome areas as waists, abdomens, hips, and thighs. Patrons with ailments such as liver or kidney disease may not be eligible for some treatments.

At Prodental, Dr. Matt Tabrizi leads an experienced team in wielding the latest technology during general, restorative, or cosmetic services. When treating gums, the space-age office eschews blades for a dental laser that reduces bleeding and swelling while also uncovering teeth’s retail value by scanning their barcodes. Digital x-rays reveal the hidden happenings of teeth while using up to 90% less radiation than their forebears. Needle-free anesthesia reduces both pain and anxiety during procedures, and invisible Invisalign trays take the place of bulky metal braces to effectively straighten smiles. In addition to outfitting his office with advanced technology, Dr. Tabrizi stays up to date with industry’s latest techniques through continual education and membership in several regional and national dental associations.
