Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth by replacing both the root and crown, offering a durable, natural-looking solution. Using titanium posts anchored in the jawbone, we provide single-tooth replacements, bridges, or full-arch solutions like All-on-4. This service benefits patients seeking permanent, stable tooth replacement that mimics natural function and aesthetics. Our team employs 3D imaging for precise placement, ensuring long-term success and oral health preservation.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns
CEREC technology enables us to create and place custom dental crowns in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary restorations. Using digital impressions, we mill ceramic crowns on-site, preserving tooth structure while addressing decay, cracks, or cosmetic flaws. This service suits patients requiring efficient, high-quality restorations with immediate results, reducing discomfort and time spent in treatment.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer sedation options, including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, to ease dental anxiety during procedures. This service ensures patients with phobias, sensitive teeth, or complex treatment needs can receive care comfortably. Our team tailors sedation levels to individual requirements, prioritizing safety and relaxation while maintaining treatment effectiveness.
Invisalign
Invisalign aligners straighten teeth discreetly using a series of clear, removable trays. This orthodontic solution addresses crowding, gaps, and misalignment without traditional metal braces. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives, treatment involves customized planning with digital imaging to achieve optimal bite alignment and smile symmetry.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy alleviates pain caused by infected or damaged tooth pulp, preserving natural teeth. Using advanced techniques, we remove infected tissue, clean the canal, and seal it to prevent reinfection. This service is critical for saving teeth affected by deep decay or trauma, restoring function while preventing extraction.

Report
I've been a patient of FDG for about 30 years. I was referred by a co-worker and was very happy with Dr. Taylor and his staff. I wish I had found them sooner. The office personnel and hygienists are long time employees that I have gotten to know, even if we only see each other twice a year. Dr. Taylor was an excellent dentist who replaced old fillings & worn crowns, did root canals, and bridge work. He has retired but left FDG in the very capable hands of Dr. Sierra. I would highly recommend their services.

I grew up with Dr. Taylor as my dentist, and he was excellent. Now Dr. Sierra, the new dentist, receives the same utmost satisfaction. The staff is always friendly, and the hygienists always do a great job! Thanks Friendswood Dental Group!

I loved my experience so far here. From the dentist to front desk to the hygienist, everyone is very polite and genuine. I had almost no wait. Also, the pricing is very reasonable compared to other dentists I have been to (esp for someone who doesn't have dental insurance at the moment). I feel like the staff really cares about your dental health, comfort, and preferences instead of just forcing recommendations on you in order to make a buck (I have experienced that at other dentists).
Another plus is that they open early, so I can have a quick appt before I head to work. Last, the hygienist is awesome! She is so detail-oriented, friendly, and cleaned the heck out of my teeth. I highly recommend! Overall, while they are efficient and organized with their systems, they do not ever make you feel like you're just another patient to churn out. :)

I've had years of negative experiences w/ dentists in the league city/alvin area. I came to Friendswood Dental Group out of sheer convenience even though they are "out of network" on my insurance plan. I was very nervous about how I would pay for the extensive work that I need to have done, but Dr Sierra and Traci made me feel so comfortable and really made me feel confident (FINALLY) in a dental treatment plan.
I didn't feel pressured and i truly believe they trust me as much as i trust them. I even started tearing up in the office out of relief and gratitude for their compassion. Thank you so much Dr Sierra and Traci! You have a patient for life! - Katherine Powers
