Dental Care Across Generations in Bedford
Bedford incorporated in 1953, and the opening of DFW Airport helped turn it into a true suburb. Its biggest growth came from the late 1970s on. The city lies in Tarrant County, north of the West Fork of the Trinity River, with SH 121 cutting through its middle. Today it is home to young families and long-time residents alike.
The city leans into that multi-generation identity. Generations Park at Boys Ranch pairs The Center, a recreation center with an indoor pool, with an outdoor water park and a softball and baseball complex. Near the library, the restored Old Bedford School, built in 1914 and 1915, now hosts community arts groups and events.
Keller Family Dentistry fits that pattern with one office for every age. Children get gentle first visits, parents get crowns and cosmetic care, and older adults get bridges, dentures, extractions and implants. Our Keller location keeps the whole family's records, x-rays and treatment history together.
What Bedford Patients Should Know About Saving Their Teeth
A sore tooth that lingers after hot coffee or wakes you at night often signals a problem with the nerve inside. Root canal treatment can clear that infection and keep the natural tooth working for years. Our endodontic microscope and rotary instruments let Dr. Alswaiti see and clean narrow canals with precision. A crown, often made with our same-day crown technology, then protects the treated tooth.
When a tooth truly cannot be saved, a gentle extraction comes next. What follows matters just as much. Leaving a gap lets nearby teeth tip and the opposing tooth drift, so a bridge, a partial denture or an implant is usually the better long-term plan. Bone grafting at the time of extraction can preserve the ridge for a future implant.
Long-time residents sometimes find that several older crowns, fillings and a partial all reach the end of their life around the same time. That work does not have to happen all at once. With personalized treatment planning, the most urgent teeth come first and the rest follow on a timeline that suits your health and your budget. Dentures and implant-supported options are part of that conversation when teeth are missing.
Jaw pain deserves a mention too. Clicking when you chew, a jaw that feels tight in the morning or headaches near the temples can trace back to the jaw joint and the muscles around it. Dr. Alswaiti treats TMJ pain with options such as an orthotic appliance, trigger point therapy and injection therapy. Many people live with that discomfort for years before learning a dentist can help.
Prevention still does the heavy lifting. Regular exams catch decay while it is small, and oral cancer screenings are part of every routine checkup. Students who play for Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD teams at Pennington Field also benefit from a custom mouthguard. For many families, two cleanings a year are enough to keep larger repairs off the calendar.
Our technology supports careful decisions. Cone beam imaging and panoramic x-rays show bone and roots in detail, and an intraoral camera puts the same view on a screen for you. The Wand®, a computer-controlled anesthetic delivery system, helps make numbing more comfortable for nervous patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Keller Family Dentistry from Bedford, and how do I get there?
We are about 10 miles from the Bedford Public Library, typically an 18-minute drive. Use Bedford Rd to the free main lanes of Airport Fwy and NE Loop 820 west, then Rufe Snow Dr north to N Tarrant Pkwy. Anyone choosing a dentist Bedford, TX drivers can reach on familiar freeways will find the route simple.
Do you use a microscope for root canals?
Yes. Our office uses an endodontic microscope, which magnifies the inside of the tooth so small or curved canals are easier to find and clean. Rotary instruments help shape those canals smoothly. Together they support thorough treatment, and a crown usually follows to protect the tooth.
Is a midday appointment easier for drivers coming from Bedford?
Usually, yes. Airport Fwy and Loop 820 slow down at rush hour, so midday and Saturday visits tend to avoid the worst traffic. If Loop 820 is backed up, exit Airport Fwy at Precinct Line Rd and head north instead, a trip of about 20 minutes. Either way, the free main lanes get you here without tolls.
Can I replace a missing tooth with a bridge instead of an implant?
Yes, a bridge is a common way to replace a missing tooth. It uses crowns on the neighboring teeth to hold a replacement tooth in the gap. An implant stands on its own without reshaping nearby teeth. Dr. Alswaiti compares both options with you, including cost, timeline and the health of the surrounding teeth.
Do you check for oral cancer during regular exams?
Yes, an oral cancer screening is part of our routine preventive exams. Dr. Alswaiti looks and feels for unusual spots, lumps or sores on the tongue, cheeks, gums and throat. Most findings turn out to be harmless, but early detection matters when something is serious. The screening adds only a few minutes to your checkup.
