Convenient Access from Haltom City
A 12-minute drive up Denton Hwy brings you from Haltom City to Keller Family Dentistry, Sleep & Facial Pain. For anyone who needs a dentist Haltom City, TX neighbors can visit without crossing the whole metro, our Keller office sits on North Tarrant Parkway, just past the Watauga line, and Dr. Omar Alswaiti sees patients Monday through Saturday. Families from across the city come to us for checkups, crowns, implants, dentures and help with jaw or sleep concerns, all under one roof.
Start at Haltom City City Hall at 4801 Haltom Rd, right beside the Haltom City Public Library. Follow Haltom Rd briefly to Springlake Pkwy, then turn north onto US 377 (Denton Hwy). Stay on Denton Hwy as it crosses Loop 820 and runs straight through Watauga, then turn east onto N Tarrant Pkwy. The whole trip covers about 6.1 miles and takes roughly 12 minutes.
You will find us at 841 N Tarrant Pkwy #112, Keller, TX 76248, next door to the CVS at the Rufe Snow Dr corner, with Kroger just across the parkway. Neighbors in Richland Hills and North Richland Hills have their own pages too.
A Practice That Fits Haltom City Households
Haltom City grew quickly during the 1950s, and many of its Tarrant County neighborhoods are long established today. That history often shows up in the dental chair. Some patients arrive with fillings and crowns placed many years ago, while their grandchildren need a first cleaning. We care for every age group, so one office can handle the whole family tree.
The drive itself suits the city's layout. Haltom City sits inside a ring of major roads, with Loop 820, SH 121, SH 183 and US 377 all close by. US 377 carries you north in a nearly straight line, so most Haltom City patients never need a freeway interchange to reach us. That simple trip makes it easier to keep six-month visits on the calendar.
Our Saturday hours help as well. The office is open 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Saturday, which gives working parents a weekend option for themselves or the kids. Most of the city is served by Birdville ISD, home to Haltom High School on Haltom Rd, and a Saturday slot keeps a cleaning from cutting into class time.
Your first appointment covers more than teeth. Part of the visit is a detailed financial consultation, so you know the costs before anything begins. If you have coverage, sending your insurance details ahead of time lets the team verify benefits. New patients can also start with our $99 Cleaning, Exam, & X-Ray offer*, which is for new patients without insurance and in the absence of periodontal disease.
Dental Priorities for Long-Time Haltom City Residents
Older restorations do not last forever. A crown or large filling placed twenty years ago can wear at the edges, let decay sneak underneath, or crack under years of chewing. Regular exams catch those changes while they are still small, often before a tooth hurts. Digital x-rays and an intraoral camera let you see exactly what Dr. Alswaiti sees on the screen.
Missing teeth are another common concern in an established community. Some Haltom City patients have lived with a gap for years, and others wear a partial or full denture that no longer fits the way it once did. Dental implants, bridges and modern dentures all restore chewing, and each suits a different budget and timeline. Our office plans implant work with cone beam imaging, which shows the bone in three dimensions before treatment starts.
Younger families face different issues. Kids need sealants, fluoride and steady habits, while teens may want to straighten their smiles before graduation. Dr. Alswaiti looks at each person's full mouth, then lays out choices in plain language and lets you decide the pace. Nobody is pressured into work they did not ask for.
Gum health deserves equal attention. Bleeding when you brush, gums that pull back, or teeth that feel slightly loose can point to gum disease, which tends to progress quietly. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats the problem below the gumline, and our office also offers periodontal laser treatment. Catching it early protects the bone that holds your teeth and supports any future implant.
Dental trouble rarely waits for a convenient week. A cracked filling, a swollen gum or a sudden toothache gets prompt attention, since we reserve openings for same-day visits when problems come up. Nervous patients have options too: The Wand delivers numbing medicine through a computer-controlled system, and nitrous oxide or oral sedation is available after an individual evaluation.
Care from a Dentist Haltom City, TX Families Can Reach on One Road
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges and dentures rebuild teeth that have worn down over the years. Patients replacing older metal work can choose natural-looking materials. Same-day crowns can finish a single tooth in one appointment when the case allows.
Dental Implant Services
Implants replace a single tooth, several teeth or a full arch. Every case starts with advanced imaging and digital planning before placement. It is a long-term option for anyone tired of a loose partial.
Endodontics
A root canal removes infected tissue and keeps your natural tooth in place. Our office uses an endodontic microscope and a rotary handpiece for this work. Saving a tooth often costs less over time than replacing it.
Preventive Dentistry
Routine exams, professional cleanings, digital x-rays and oral cancer screenings form the base of every treatment plan. Haltom City adults who have skipped a few years can start fresh with a single visit. We also make nightguards for people who grind.
Children's Dentistry
Little ones do well when dental visits start early and stay positive. Our team keeps cleanings gentle and explains each step in kid-friendly terms. Parents learn which snacks and drinks are hardest on young enamel and how to help with brushing at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Keller Family Dentistry from Haltom City, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 6.1 miles from Haltom City City Hall, roughly a 12-minute drive. Take Haltom Rd to Springlake Pkwy, then follow US 377 (Denton Hwy) north through Watauga and turn east on N Tarrant Pkwy. Patients searching for a dentist Haltom City, TX locals can reach on one main road will find us next to CVS at Rufe Snow Dr.
Can I still get an implant if I lost the tooth years ago?
Often, yes, though the answer depends on how much bone remains. After a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that spot can slowly shrink. Dr. Alswaiti checks the area with cone beam imaging to measure what is there. When bone is thin, bone grafting can rebuild the site before an implant goes in.
Do gums naturally recede as we get older?
Receding gums are common with age, but they are not simply a normal part of growing older. Brushing too hard, grinding and gum disease can all pull the gumline back and expose sensitive roots. Dr. Alswaiti checks gum measurements at each exam. Early care, from a softer brush to a deep cleaning, can slow further loss.
Is a root canal better than pulling the tooth?
In most cases, keeping your natural tooth is the better long-term choice. A root canal clears out infection and seals the tooth, which keeps your bite and neighboring teeth stable. An extraction leaves a gap that usually needs a bridge or implant later. Dr. Alswaiti reviews both paths with you before you decide.
Do you treat grandparents and grandchildren at the same office?
Yes, our office sees patients of all ages, from a toddler's first visit to dentures and implants for older adults. That makes it simple for several generations to share one dental home. Saturday hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM give working parents and retirees alike a weekend option, too.
