Convenient Access from Blue Mound
Blue Mound families can be in our chair about 17 minutes after leaving home. Keller Family Dentistry, Sleep & Facial Pain is a dentist Blue Mound, TX parents can rely on for the whole household, from a child's first cleaning to a cracked molar on a Friday afternoon. Our Keller office opens at 9:00 AM Monday through Saturday, and Dr. Omar Alswaiti leads every visit himself.
From Blue Mound City Hall at 301 S Blue Mound Rd, follow FM 156 for a short stretch, then turn east on Basswood Blvd. Basswood carries you across Fort Worth's north side and over I-35W without touching the toll lanes. At US 377 (Denton Hwy), go north briefly, then turn east on N Tarrant Pkwy.
Plan on about 17 minutes for the 8.4-mile drive. The office is at 841 N Tarrant Pkwy #112, Keller, TX 76248, just east of the Rufe Snow Dr intersection, beside a CVS and across the parkway from Kroger. Families in nearby Saginaw and Summerfields often take part of the same Basswood route.
Why Blue Mound Households Choose Our Office
Blue Mound is a small, close-knit city in north-central Tarrant County, built along FM 156 just west of I-35W. Most homes are owner-occupied, and many residents commute into Fort Worth for work. Busy schedules like that leave little room for dental visits that stretch across several weekday afternoons.
That is why our Saturday schedule matters. We are open 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays, the same as weekdays, so parents can bring kids in without pulling them from class. Text communication with our team also makes it easier to confirm a time between shifts.
The city keeps a friendly, hometown feel, and the City of Blue Mound hosts events like the Fall Festival at the city park on Fagan Dr. Our office aims for that same personal approach. Dr. Alswaiti takes time to explain what he sees, and he never pushes a treatment you are unsure about.
Not every working family has dental benefits through an employer. The KFDDS In-House Plan offers discounted rates for patients without insurance, at $149 a year plus $125 for each additional family member. Membership includes two exams and x-rays per year, which covers routine checkups for the kids.
Keeping Kids and Parents in Blue Mound Healthy
Local children attend Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD schools, from Gilliland Elementary up through Saginaw High School. Those school years are when habits form and molars come in. Sealants, fluoride and steady six-month cleanings protect new teeth during the years when cavities are most likely to start.
Parents often put their own care last. A small chip, a sensitive tooth or gums that bleed when brushing can turn into bigger work if they wait a year or two. Regular checkups catch those problems early, when a filling or a cleaning is usually enough. Digital x-rays keep the exam quick and give you a clear picture on the screen.
As kids reach middle school, bite problems become easier to spot. Crowded teeth or an overbite can be checked during routine visits, and our office offers traditional braces, clear aligners and retainers. Snoring that keeps a spouse awake or a sore jaw each morning is worth mentioning too. Dr. Alswaiti has advanced training in orofacial pain and sleep apnea and evaluates both as part of general dental care.
Accidents happen too. A fall off a bike or a backyard game can crack a front tooth, and a lost filling can make chewing painful by dinnertime. We reserve openings for same-day visits when problems come up, and the Basswood Blvd drive gets you here fast. New patients can start with our $49 Emergency Exam & X-Ray* (*new patients only).
For a damaged back tooth, a crown is often the fix. Our office can make same-day crowns using an intraoral scanner and same-day crown technology, so a damaged tooth can often be finished without a second trip.
Family Services from a Dentist Blue Mound, TX Parents Trust
Children's Dentistry
First dental visits, gentle cleanings and age-appropriate prevention help kids get comfortable early. Parents leave with simple tips for brushing and snacks. It is a calm start for the youngest patients in town.
Preventive Dentistry
Exams, cleanings, digital x-rays and oral cancer screenings keep the whole family on track. Sealants add a thin protective layer to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Prevention costs far less than repairs later.
Emergency Services
Toothaches, swelling, broken or knocked-out teeth and lost restorations all get prompt care. Calling as soon as something happens gives us the most room to help. Quick treatment often saves a tooth that might otherwise be lost.
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures repair damage and restore a comfortable bite. Materials blend with your natural teeth. Working parents can often fix a problem tooth in a single visit.
Periodontics
Gum disease can start quietly, with puffy or bleeding gums as the only sign. Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes buildup below the gumline. Healthy gums support every tooth in your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Keller Family Dentistry from Blue Mound, and how do I get there?
From Blue Mound City Hall, we are about 8.4 miles away, roughly 17 minutes by car. The drive follows Blue Mound Rd to Basswood Blvd, then US 377 north and N Tarrant Pkwy east. For anyone choosing a dentist Blue Mound, TX families can reach on surface roads, there are no toll lanes along the way.
Are dental sealants worth it for my kids?
For most children, yes. Sealants are a thin coating painted onto the grooves of back teeth, where food and bacteria tend to collect. Placing them takes only a few minutes and involves no drilling. They work best soon after permanent molars come in, which is why we check for them during routine children's visits.
How should I handle a toothache until I can be seen?
Call our office first, since we reserve openings for same-day visits when problems come up. Meanwhile, rinse with warm salt water and use a cold compress on the cheek for swelling. An over-the-counter pain reliever taken as the label directs can help. New patients can use our $49 Emergency Exam & X-Ray* (*new patients only).
Why do my gums bleed when I floss?
Bleeding when you floss is most often a sign of gum inflammation from plaque along the gumline. It can also happen when you restart flossing after a break or brush too hard. If it continues for more than a week or two, a checkup is wise. Deeper pockets may call for scaling and root planing.
How early should I leave Blue Mound for a 9:00 AM appointment?
Leaving 25 to 30 minutes ahead is a safe plan for a 9:00 AM visit. The drive takes about 17 minutes in light traffic, but rush hour adds time on Basswood Blvd and US 377. That cushion also leaves a few relaxed minutes to check in at the front desk.
