Convenient Access from Silver Ranch
Molar Dental is almost a neighbor to Silver Ranch: our Katy office is about 0.8 mile from the community pool, a drive of roughly 2 minutes. Families who want a dentist near Silver Ranch for school-year checkups, teen Invisalign or a sudden tooth problem can be in the chair with Dr. Rainish Dhuka almost as soon as they leave the driveway.
From the Silver Ranch Pool, head east on Roesner Rd to Gaston Rd. Turn left and follow Gaston Rd northwest toward Hawks Prairie Blvd. You will find us at 10610 Gaston Rd Ste 120, Katy, TX 77494, on the stretch of Gaston Rd between Roesner Rd and Hawks Prairie Blvd. There are no toll roads anywhere on the trip.
The landmarks along the way are ones neighborhood kids see every day. James and Sharon Tays Junior High sits on Hawks Prairie Blvd just beyond the neighborhood's edge, and Obra D. Tompkins High School is a short hop away on Falcon Landing Blvd. Neighbors in Pine Mill Ranch to the southwest and Grayson Lakes across Gaston Rd use many of the same roads to reach us.
Your Practically Next-Door Dental Home in Silver Ranch
Silver Ranch is a master-planned neighborhood of single-family homes in unincorporated Fort Bend County, with Katy mailing addresses and Katy ISD schools. Community Impact profiled it in 2016 as a growing community south of I-10 and north of Cinco Ranch. Its six-lane pool, splash pad, tennis court and barbecue space make it a place where summer afternoons and school-night routines both run on a tight clock.
That rhythm is exactly why a practice this close matters. A parent's cleaning can fit between morning drop-off and the first meeting of the day. A child's checkup does not mean pulling the whole family across town, and a sore tooth that flares up on a Tuesday can be looked at without a long drive.
Molar Dental runs on a simple weekday schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Early slots let Silver Ranch households handle dental care before school or work starts, and the drive home is over before the coffee cools. One dentist, Dr. Dhuka, sees every patient, so the person who checks your teeth in spring is the same person who knows your history in fall.
The visit itself is designed to feel easy. Two types of intraoral scanners take the place of messy impression trays, and you can look at a 3D model of your own teeth on screen while Dr. Dhuka talks through what he sees. Every treatment room has a ceiling-mounted TV with headphones, which helps younger patients settle in and gives adults something to watch during longer appointments.
Sports, School and Smiles: What Silver Ranch Families Should Know
With Tays Junior High and Tompkins High so close, plenty of Silver Ranch homes include athletes, band members and busy teenagers. Contact sports raise the risk of chipped and knocked-out teeth. Our emergency dentistry page recommends a custom mouthguard for contact sports and a nightguard for anyone who grinds their teeth at night.
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, speed matters more than almost anything else. Pick the tooth up by the crown, rinse it gently, and put it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk. Then get to the office within 30 to 60 minutes. From Silver Ranch, that window is easy to meet, which is a real advantage of living this close to your dentist.
Molar Dental offers same-day emergency care for severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken restorations and other urgent problems that cannot wait. New patients can also use the free emergency exam & x-ray offer, so a first visit in a stressful moment starts with an exam and x-ray at no charge.
Routine visits matter just as much as emergencies. Regular dental exams catch small cavities, worn enamel and bite changes while they are still simple to treat. For growing kids and teens, that often means fewer surprises later.
Adults in the neighborhood benefit from the same rhythm. A twice-yearly exam is the moment to mention sensitivity, a tooth that catches floss or a bite that feels different. Small issues found at that stage usually need small fixes, and Dr. Dhuka will walk you through the findings using your own scans rather than a generic chart.
Everyday Care From a Dentist Near Silver Ranch
Pediatric Dentistry
Silver Ranch has young families at every stage, and our children's visits are built for small patients and nervous first-timers. Following the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we suggest a first visit by the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth.
Emergency Dentistry
Cracked teeth after a game, a lost filling or a sudden throbbing toothache all deserve prompt attention. Being two minutes away means nearby patients can get here quickly when an urgent problem cannot wait.
General Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, x-rays and fillings form the backbone of most family visits. Parents and kids from the neighborhood can stay on a regular schedule without losing half a day to travel.
Restorative Dentistry
Parents need care too, and years of busy schedules can leave a cracked filling or a worn tooth waiting for attention. Fillings, crowns and bridges rebuild strength so chewing feels normal again, with a plan explained before work begins.
Invisalign®
Teens and adults who want straighter teeth without metal brackets can start with an iTero digital scan. A ClinCheck preview shows how the teeth are planned to move before any aligners are made.
Meet Your Dentist, Dr. Dhuka

He takes time with consultations and shows patients scans of their own teeth, so Silver Ranch parents see what he sees. His dental assistant Jamie has served the Fort Bend community since 2011 and grew up in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Molar Dental from Silver Ranch, and how do I get there?
Molar Dental is about 0.8 mile from the Silver Ranch Pool, roughly a 2-minute drive. Take Roesner Rd east, then turn left on Gaston Rd and continue northwest to 10610 Gaston Rd Ste 120. Few families anywhere have a dentist near Silver Ranch who is this close, and the route uses no toll roads.
Is the emergency exam really free for new patients?
Yes. New patients can receive a free emergency exam and x-ray, so you can find out what is causing the pain before deciding on treatment. The offer applies to new patients only. Dr. Dhuka reviews the x-ray with you, explains your options, and the team helps you understand what your insurance or membership plan will cover.
What should I do if a permanent tooth gets knocked out?
Act fast and keep the tooth moist. Pick it up by the crown, not the root, and rinse it gently. Try to place it back in the socket, or store it in milk if you cannot. Then come to the office within 30 to 60 minutes, because quick treatment gives the tooth its best chance.
Can my teenager get Invisalign instead of braces?
Often, yes. Dr. Dhuka starts with an iTero digital scan, then uses a ClinCheck preview to show how the teeth would move over the course of treatment. Whether aligners are the right fit depends on an exam of the bite and the teeth. Treatment begins only after you have seen and approved that plan.
How early can I book a checkup on a school day?
The first appointments start at 8:00 AM, Monday through Friday. That gives parents a chance to finish a cleaning and still make school drop-off or the start of the workday. Appointments run until 5:00 PM, and with a 2-minute drive home, an early visit barely dents the morning.
