Convenient Access from Riverbend
Soccer season and dental care meet at Bradfield Dental, about 5 minutes by car from the Lost Creek Park fields just south of Riverbend. Our office is on Parkway Blvd in Sugar Land. As a dentist near Riverbend, we offer custom sports mouthguards, emergency exams for new patients and everyday family care in one place.
Starting at Lost Creek Park, 3703 Lost Creek Blvd, take Lost Creek Boulevard to Settlers Way Boulevard and turn onto Lexington Boulevard. Lexington crosses Riverbend South and carries you west to Williams Trace Boulevard, which leads north to the Southwest Freeway (US 59 / I-69) frontage road. From there, Parkway Blvd brings you to 1606 Parkway Blvd, Sugar Land, TX 77478. Plan on about 5 minutes for the 2.1-mile drive, all on surface streets.
Riverbend Country Club sits just north of the neighborhood, Oyster Creek runs along Riverbend North, and Dulles Avenue borders the east side. Pull up our Google Maps listing for the pin, and visit our Oyster Point and Highlands pages for two neighboring areas.
Game Days, School Days and a Dental Office Close to Riverbend
Riverbend is made up of Riverbend North and Riverbend South, both single-family neighborhoods in First Colony and in Fort Bend County. Many streets are named for Texas rivers, such as Three Rivers Dr, Nails Creek Dr, Canadian River Dr and Concho River Ct, with Riverbend Crossing joining the two halves. Dulles Avenue heads north toward US 90A, while Lexington Boulevard points west toward our office.
Lost Creek Park, home of the Imperial Soccer Club, has nine soccer fields, a large playground and a lighted 0.9-mile loop. Active kids are great for overall health but tough on teeth. A stray elbow or ball can chip a front tooth in a second.
Bradfield Dental has served the Sugar Land community for more than 30 years and cares for generations of families. Our office opens at 8:00 AM Monday through Thursday, closes at 5:00 PM Monday through Wednesday and at 3:00 PM on Thursday, and stays closed Friday through Sunday. Early slots help families keep the rest of the day on track, whether that day runs toward Stafford, Houston or nearby Lexington Colony on the Missouri City side.
Protecting Riverbend Athletes' Teeth
A custom sports mouthguard is the simplest protection for a young player. Because it is fitted to your child's teeth, it stays in place better than a generic guard and makes it easier to breathe and talk on the field. Custom mouthguards are part of our preventative care, alongside fluoride and sealants.
When an injury does happen, time matters. New patients can book our $59 Emergency Exam & X-Ray*, which includes a focused exam, any necessary x-rays and treatment recommendations, and the office strives to fit you into the schedule. *New patients only.
Not every injury shows on the surface. A tooth that took a hit can look normal but have a damaged root or nerve, which digital x-rays can reveal within seconds. Chips are often repaired with tooth-colored bonding or fillings, while deeper damage may call for root canal therapy or a crown.
If a tooth is lost for good, there are solid ways to fill the space once a young patient's jaw has finished growing. Our guide to tooth replacement options walks through implants, bridges and other choices. Adults face the same questions after an accident or a failed old filling.
Family Services from Your Dentist Near Riverbend
Preventative Dentistry
Custom sports mouthguards, sealants and fluoride for players, plus cleanings, exams and oral cancer screenings for parents. Custom nightguards protect adults who grind. Regular visits keep small problems from becoming season-ending ones.
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored fillings repair chips and cavities, and crowns rebuild teeth that are cracked or heavily damaged. Root canal therapy can save an injured tooth whose nerve has been affected.
SureSmile® Clear Aligners
Clear, removable aligners made from a digital scan straighten teeth for teens and adults. Each new set arrives every couple of weeks, and aligners come out for meals and brushing.
Dental Implants
For adults who have lost a tooth to injury or decay, an implant can hold a single crown, a bridge or a full arch. Planning uses cone beam CT and computer-guided placement.
Meet Our Dentists
Dr. Angie Nguyen has a special interest in preserving natural teeth, which matters when an injured tooth might still be saved. She studied at the University of Texas at Austin, earned her DDS at the University of Texas School of Dentistry, and draws on a background in sculpting to design natural-looking restorations. She and three fellow dentists work with our team to care for patients of every age.
Insurance, Membership & Financing
Unexpected repairs after a sports injury can be split into payments through Cherry, often with zero interest or low monthly rates depending on the plan you choose. Our insurance team works with a multitude of insurance providers and explains what your plan is likely to cover before treatment. Cash, checks and all major credit cards are welcome too.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Bradfield Dental from Riverbend, and how do I get there?
Bradfield Dental is about 2.1 miles from Lost Creek Park, near Riverbend, a drive of roughly 5 minutes. Take Lost Creek Boulevard and Settlers Way Boulevard to Lexington Boulevard, then Williams Trace Boulevard to the US 59 / I-69 frontage road and Parkway Blvd. Parents looking for a dentist near Riverbend can stay on surface streets the whole way, though rush hour adds a few minutes.
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out during a game?
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and rinse it briefly if it is dirty. Try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk, and see a dentist right away. A permanent tooth has the best chance of reattaching when it is treated quickly, ideally within an hour.
Is a custom mouthguard worth it for a child who plays soccer?
Yes. Soccer involves headers, falls and collisions, and a custom mouthguard cushions the teeth against all three. Because it is made to fit your child's mouth, it stays put and is comfortable enough to keep in for the whole game. Growing kids may need a new one as their teeth and jaws change.
Does anyone at the office speak Spanish?
Yes. Dr. Steve Ragsdale is fluent in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking patients can talk through treatment with him directly. He is a general dentist who also provides in-house oral surgery and IV sedation. When you call, let the front desk know you would prefer an appointment with Dr. Ragsdale.
Does a tooth that got hit need an x-ray if it looks fine?
Yes, it is worth checking. A blow to the mouth can bruise the nerve or crack the root without any visible change, and problems sometimes show up weeks later as darkening or sensitivity. Digital x-rays show the root and surrounding bone within seconds, so an exam soon after the injury gives a clear baseline.
