A Good Fit for Cross Roads' Country-Style Living
Cross Roads sits where US 377 meets US 380, about four miles east of Denton in Denton County. According to the Texas State Historical Association, the community came into being as a result of building Lake Dallas, which was completed in 1927, and only about 50 people lived here in 1945. The 2020 census counted 1,744 residents, up from 1,563 a decade earlier.
The town promotes a "Texas Country" lifestyle, protecting its trees by ordinance while shops and services grow along US 380. Many of its homes are newer construction. Aubrey, Providence Village and Little Elm are all nearby, and both Lewisville Lake and Ray Roberts Lake are within easy reach.
Community life centers on Cross Roads Town Park, which hosts summer markets from May through August and holiday pop-up markets. The town adopted a master plan for the park in March 2026 to guide future improvements. Children attend either Aubrey ISD or Denton ISD schools, including Cross Oaks Elementary, depending on where they live.
Planning Ahead: Dental Care for Cross Roads Homeowners
Cross Roads has a mix of working adults and school-age kids. Settling into a new home is a natural moment to set up regular cleanings and exams. A baseline visit records the condition of every tooth, so changes are easy to spot later.
Adults in their forties and fifties often start thinking about older crowns, missing back teeth and stained enamel. Planning those projects one at a time spreads out both cost and chair time. Dr. Alswaiti lays out what is urgent, what can wait and what is simply cosmetic, then lets you set the pace.
For a brighter smile, Opalescence® teeth whitening is a straightforward place to start. Whitening is best done before any new front crowns or veneers are made, so the restorations can be matched to the lighter shade.
Technology helps keep longer projects efficient. Cone beam (CBCT) imaging shows bone in three dimensions for implant planning, an intraoral scanner reduces the need for traditional impressions, and SprintRay® 3D printing happens right in the office.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Denton Family Smiles from Cross Roads, and how do I get there?
Cross Roads Town Park is 9.9 miles from our office, about a 17-minute drive. Take Fishtrap Road to US 380, head west into Denton on University Drive, then go south on Loop 288 to Lillian Miller Parkway. Anyone looking at a dentist in Cross Roads, TX can make that toll-free trip on familiar roads.
What are my options if dental work makes me anxious?
You have several. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) helps many adults relax during routine treatment and wears off quickly. For surgical procedures that call for deeper relaxation, oral conscious sedation is available. The Wand® provides computer-assisted numbing, and Dr. Alswaiti explains each step before it happens so nothing comes as a surprise.
Is it worth replacing a back tooth that nobody can see?
Usually, yes. When a molar is missing, the teeth beside it can tip into the gap and the opposing tooth can drift toward it, which changes your bite over time. Chewing also shifts to the other side. Dr. Alswaiti can review implant and bridge options with CBCT images so you can weigh cost against long-term function.
Can a chipped front tooth be repaired without a crown?
Often it can. Small chips are commonly repaired with bonding, where tooth-colored resin is shaped and polished to match the rest of the tooth. Larger chips or several worn front teeth may suit veneers instead. Dr. Alswaiti looks at the size of the chip and your bite, then explains which option keeps the most natural tooth.
Will my dental insurance help pay for an implant?
It depends on your plan, and our team checks before treatment begins. We verify your coverage ahead of the visit and walk you through what your insurance is likely to pay for larger treatment such as implants. If there is a remaining balance, Cherry and Sunbit financing or the In-House Plan discount can help.
