Looking for a New Dentist After an Insurance Change? Meet GLĀZ Dental Studio.

Finding out your dentist is no longer in-network with your insurance can leave you wondering what to do next - especially if you have been going to the same office for years. You want to understand your coverage and find a dentist you feel comfortable trusting with your care.

At GLĀZ Dental Studio in Fulshear, we welcome patients making that transition. Our privately owned practice is led by Dr. George Galaz and his wife, Arianna, with a focus on personalized dentistry, thoughtful hospitality, and helping you understand your oral health.

Whether you are due for a checkup, have treatment you have been putting off, or simply need a new dental home, we are here to help you get started.

Have Delta Dental or Another PPO Plan? Let’s Review Your Coverage.

We welcome patients whose previous dentist is no longer in-network with their insurance. GLĀZ Dental Studio currently participates in Delta Dental PPO and Premier, as well as other PPO networks. Our team can check our network participation and review the benefits available under your specific plan before your appointment.

Even under the same insurance company, coverage can vary. We will help you understand how your benefits apply to recommended care and explain your estimated out-of-pocket costs before treatment. Estimates are not a guarantee of payment; your insurer determines final coverage when your claim is processed.

When you contact us, have your insurance information available so we can get started.

Get to Know Your New Dental Home

Choosing a dentist is also about feeling comfortable with the people caring for you.

At GLĀZ, we take time to hear your concerns, explain what we find, and discuss your options. Digital imaging and intraoral scanning help us show you what is happening with your teeth and gums so you can take an informed role in your care.

Our space is designed with your comfort in mind, including entertainment during your visit and a team that welcomes questions. We speak English and Spanish, and select Saturday appointments offer another option for busy schedules.

We want you to leave understanding your oral health, your next steps, and who to call when you need us.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first comprehensive visit includes a review of your medical and dental history, appropriate imaging, and an examination with Dr. Galaz. Let us know about any discomfort, previous treatment recommendations, dental anxiety, or goals for your smile.

Dr. Galaz will explain his findings and discuss any recommended treatment, including what needs attention first and what can be planned over time. Our team will then review estimated costs and scheduling options with you.

To help us prepare, please provide:
• A photo ID and your current dental insurance information
• A list of medications you take
• Recent dental X-rays or records, if available

We can help request records from your previous office. Dr. Galaz will review those images and determine whether additional imaging is needed.

No Dental Insurance? You Are Welcome Here.

For patients without insurance, our $99 new-patient offer includes a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and a routine cleaning when clinically appropriate. Patients who need treatment for gum disease require a different type of cleaning, which we will explain before proceeding.

Our GLĀZ Advantage Membership offers another way to plan for ongoing care. We also offer financing through [Link to: Financing Options Page] CareCredit and Cherry, subject to approval and applicable terms. Ask our team about eligibility and which options may fit your needs.
