Convenient Access from Double Oak

Our office sits in south Denton, and grandparents, parents and kids can all be seen by the same general dentist. For households that want one dentist in Double Oak, TX and the neighboring towns to cover every generation, that simplicity counts.
From Double Oak Town Hall at 320 Waketon Road, follow Waketon Road to Chinn Chapel Road and continue through its two roundabouts. Turn right on Justin Road (FM 407) for a short stretch, then left onto Village Parkway (FM 2499) and ride it north through Highland Village, where the name changes to Barrel Strap Road. Turn left on Hickory Creek Road, right on Teasley Lane (FM 2181), and stay on it as it becomes Lillian Miller Parkway.
Our lot is just off Lillian Miller Parkway beside the I-35E frontage road, at 2430 S I-35E Ste 200, Denton, TX 76205. The drive is 10.4 miles with no tolls and no interstate driving, and Golden Triangle Mall sits just across Loop 288, a handy landmark on your first visit.

Family Dentistry That Suits Double Oak's Acre-Lot Living
Double Oak is a small, quiet town of about 2.5 square miles in southern Denton County, bounded by Justin Road on the north and Cross Timbers Road (FM 1171) on the south. Homes here are single-family only, on lots of at least one acre, and the 2020 census counted 3,054 residents. The town takes its name from the old Double Oak School that once stood on McMakin Road.
Residents have a strong volunteer streak, from Pot Holes Days to the volunteer fire department. That community-minded spirit fits a practice built on "Patient-Oriented, Honest Dentistry." You'll hear what's going on in your mouth in plain terms, and you won't be pushed toward work you don't need.
Combining a Saturday cleaning with errands in Denton is easy, since we're open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM that day as well as Monday through Thursday. Same-day appointments are offered too when the schedule has room.
Comfort is part of the plan as well. The Wand® delivers numbing medication with computer-assisted control, which many patients find easier than a traditional injection. Nitrous oxide helps anxious children and adults relax, and oral conscious sedation is available when a surgical procedure calls for a deeper level of calm.
Oral Health Across the Generations in Double Oak
Double Oak skews older than most of its neighbors, yet plenty of school-age children live here as well. Students split between Lewisville ISD and Denton ISD, attending schools such as Marcus High and Guyer High. A single office that handles a teenager's sports mouthguard and a grandparent's missing molar saves everyone extra phone calls.
For adults in their fifties and beyond, the common concerns shift toward worn fillings, cracked teeth and gaps from lost teeth. Leaving a space empty can let neighboring teeth drift and change your bite over time. A single tooth implant fills that gap without reshaping the teeth on either side, and bridges or dentures remain options when they suit you better.
Gum health matters more with each decade. Periodontal disease often develops quietly, with mild bleeding or tenderness as the only early hint. Regular exams let Dr. Alswaiti measure the gums and recommend a deep cleaning before bone loss sets in.
Teenagers bring their own needs. Contact sports call for a well-fitted mouthguard, and the early teen years are when crowding or bite problems usually become obvious. The office provides mouthguards, Invisalign® clear aligners and traditional braces, so a teen's orthodontic plan doesn't require a separate office.
Sleep and jaw concerns are worth mentioning at a checkup too. Loud snoring, daytime fatigue, jaw pain and teeth grinding are among the signs the practice lists as reasons to book a sleep apnea or TMJ consultation. These visits can help you explore your next steps with a dentist who trained in this area.

Dental Implant Services
From one missing tooth to a full arch, the office has cone beam (CBCT) imaging on site. Older Double Oak residents tired of loose partials can start here.
Children's Dentistry
Grandkids visiting for the summer or kids who live here year-round can get their six-month visits with the same team that sees their parents. Protective sealants guard the chewing surfaces of back teeth.
Periodontics
Gums that bleed or pull back from the teeth need more than a routine polish. Scaling below the gumline and regular maintenance visits help older adults hold on to the bone that supports their teeth.
Restorative Dentistry
Crowns, bridges, inlays and tooth-colored fillings repair wear and damage. Same-day crowns are milled in the office, so one appointment can finish the job.
Sleep Apnea & TMJ
Evaluations look at jaw movement, the bite and the airway, and custom oral appliances worn at night are one option the office provides.
Meet Dr. Alswaiti
Dr. Omar Alswaiti, BDS, MPH completed a fellowship in dental implants, which gives him a strong foundation for replacing missing teeth. He also trained in a Tufts University residency covering TMJ disorders, sleep apnea and orofacial pain. He lays out every option before recommending one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Denton Family Smiles from Double Oak, and how do I get there?
It's about 10.4 miles from Double Oak Town Hall, which works out to roughly 20 minutes behind the wheel. The route runs Chinn Chapel Road, FM 2499 north through Highland Village, Hickory Creek Road and Teasley Lane. Families looking for a dentist in Double Oak, TX can reach us without touching the interstate or paying a toll.
Can loose dentures be replaced with implants?
Often they can. The office offers multiple-teeth implants and full-arch replacement, which anchor teeth to the jaw instead of resting on the gums. Whether you're a candidate depends on the bone that remains, and bone grafting is available when extra support is needed. An implant consultation shows what's possible.
Can grandparents, parents and grandkids all see the same dentist?
Yes. Dr. Alswaiti treats children, teens and adults, so three generations can keep their records in one office. That makes it simpler to coordinate visits, compare notes on family dental history and plan Saturday appointments for kids who can't miss class. Children's care includes cleanings, sealants, fluoride and nitrous oxide for anxious patients.
Why do my gums bleed when I brush, and should I worry?
Bleeding gums are often an early sign of gum inflammation, and it's worth getting checked. Plaque along the gumline irritates the tissue, and without care it can progress to periodontal disease. A cleaning and exam show how deep the pockets are, and a deep cleaning is available if buildup has moved below the gumline.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
Many patients do, especially for back teeth. A tooth that needed a root canal has often lost structure to decay or a large filling, and a crown protects what's left from cracking under chewing pressure. Dr. Alswaiti will tell you whether your tooth needs one, and same-day crowns are milled right in the office.
