Roots Back to 1878, Care for Today's Families
Bartonville takes its name from T. Bent Barton, and the community dates to an 1878 settlement, with a post office arriving in 1886. By 1890 it had a general store, a gristmill and a cotton gin. The present town incorporated in 1973, and a Texas Historical Marker was dedicated at Town Hall on April 22, 2017.
The roughly 130-year-old Bartonville Store still anchors the town's story, and the Veterans Memorial Program honors local service members. The 2020 census counted 1,725 residents across about 6.8 square miles of Denton County. The town describes itself as sitting off FM 407 between I-35W and I-35E, next to the master-planned Lantana community.
A town this size thrives on personal relationships, and that's how we approach dentistry. You'll see the same dentist at every visit, and our team gets to know your family over the years. Dr. Alswaiti's guiding principle, "Patient-Oriented, Honest Dentistry," means treatment plans are built around what you actually need.
Bartonville Families and the School-Year Dental Calendar
Bartonville students attend either Argyle ISD or Denton ISD, depending on where they live. On the Denton ISD side, families are zoned to schools such as Harpool Middle and Guyer High, so many households already drive north toward Denton during the week. A dental office on that same corridor slots easily into the routine.
School-age kids need cleanings and exams twice a year, and our Saturday hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM keep those visits out of the classroom. Sealants and fluoride treatment strengthen enamel during the years when cavities are most common. Nitrous oxide helps nervous children relax in the chair.
The teen years bring their own milestones. Crowding often becomes noticeable around middle school, and wisdom teeth usually start to come in during the late teens. Panoramic x-rays show how those back molars are positioned, and extractions are handled in the office when a tooth needs to come out.
Parents deserve attention too. Adults juggling school pickups and work often let their own checkups slide, and gum disease can creep in quietly. Booking a parent's cleaning on the same Saturday as the kids' visits helps everyone stay current.
Clenching and grinding are common among busy adults, and they can wear teeth down, crack fillings and leave the jaw sore by morning. Dr. Alswaiti completed residency training at Tufts University in TMJ disorders and orofacial pain, and a TMJ evaluation looks at how the jaw moves and how the bite fits. Custom appliances worn at night are one option the office provides.
When a filling finally gives out, a crown is often the next step. Same-day crowns are milled in the office, so a parent can walk out with the finished restoration instead of returning weeks later. That's one less trip up FM 1830 during an already crowded month.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Denton Family Smiles from Bartonville, and how do I get there?
Our office is 10.2 miles from Bartonville Town Hall, about 18 minutes by car. The route follows McMakin Road to FM 407, FM 1830 north, Hobson Lane, Teasley Lane and a left onto Lillian Miller Parkway. Families picking a dentist in Bartonville, TX can make the drive on local roads with no tolls.
When should a teenager have their wisdom teeth evaluated?
The mid-to-late teens are a good time to start watching wisdom teeth. A panoramic x-ray shows whether they have room to come in straight or are angled against neighboring molars. Not every wisdom tooth needs removal, but planning ahead gives your family time to schedule an extraction around school breaks if one is needed.
Why do my child's new adult teeth look more yellow than the baby teeth?
That's usually normal. Permanent teeth have more dentin under the enamel, so they naturally look a shade darker next to bright white baby teeth. The contrast fades as more adult teeth come in. If you notice spots, streaks or one tooth that's darker than the rest, mention it at the next checkup.
What causes bad breath that won't go away?
Lingering bad breath usually starts in the mouth. Bacteria on the tongue, plaque along the gumline, gum disease and cavities are common causes, and dry mouth can make it worse. A cleaning and exam can identify the source, and treating gum inflammation or decay often clears it up. Brushing the tongue daily also helps.
Are dental x-rays safe for children?
Yes. Digital x-rays use a very small amount of radiation, and Dr. Alswaiti recommends them based on your child's age, cavity risk and development. They reveal cavities between teeth, missing or extra teeth and the position of incoming molars that an exam alone can't show, so problems are caught while they're small.
