Convenient Access from North Richland Hills
North Richland Hills residents are usually about 14 minutes from Keller Family Dentistry, Sleep & Facial Pain, and most of that time is spent on one familiar road. Our Keller office sits just past the city's northern edge, on N Tarrant Pkwy at Rufe Snow Dr, so a dentist North Richland Hills, TX families can reach easily is closer than many expect.
From North Richland Hills City Hall on City Point Dr, jog briefly onto Boulevard 26 and follow the NE Loop 820 frontage road west to Rufe Snow Dr. Turn north and stay on Rufe Snow for about 4 miles as it runs the length of the city, then turn right onto N Tarrant Pkwy. The full trip is roughly 6.4 miles.
The city line sits only about half a mile south of our door at 841 N Tarrant Pkwy #112, Keller, TX 76248, beside the CVS Pharmacy on the corner and across the parkway from Kroger. Open our location in Google Maps to save it on your phone. We also welcome patients from neighboring Richland Hills, a separate city to the south, and from Hurst.
Why North Richland Hills Neighbors Make the Short Trip North
North Richland Hills is one of the larger cities in Tarrant County, reaching north to the Keller city line and offering a wide range of housing. The city points to its parkland and hike-and-bike trails, and U.S. News & World Report named it one of its Best Places to Live for 2026-2027. Families here move between Birdville ISD and Keller ISD schools depending on which side of town they live on.
Rufe Snow Dr runs north through the middle of the city and ends up right at our corner, so the drive is simple to remember. That matters when you are fitting a crown appointment between work and school pickup.
Our hours run Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Saturday visits are a real help for people who commute into Fort Worth or toward DFW Airport during the week, whether by car or on TEXRail from the Iron Horse or Smithfield stations.
North Richland Hills also has a strong recreation scene, from the NRH Centre and its aquatics programs to NRH2O Family Water Park and Iron Horse Golf Course. Adults who golf, swim or play pickup games can chip a tooth just as easily as kids, and a prompt repair keeps a small chip from turning into a bigger break.
Accidents and sudden toothaches do not wait for a convenient week. We reserve openings for same-day visits when a tooth breaks or swelling starts, and new patients can use our $49 emergency exam and x-ray offer (*new patients only), which includes a focused exam, any necessary x-rays and treatment recommendations.
Protecting Teeth That Have Worked Hard for Years
Many adults carry dental work that was placed decades ago. Large silver fillings, older crowns and worn edges do not fail all at once. They tend to show small cracks, dark margins or sensitivity first, and those early signs are much easier to address than a tooth that breaks at dinner.
When a tooth does need a crown, our same-day crowns let Dr. Alswaiti scan, design and place the restoration in one appointment. There is no goopy impression tray and no second trip for a permanent crown, which is a relief for anyone juggling a full calendar.
Gum health deserves the same attention. Gum disease often develops quietly, with bleeding while brushing or slight recession as the only clues. Our periodontal care includes deep cleaning and laser treatment, and catching problems early helps protect both the gums and the bone that holds teeth in place.
Missing teeth change how the rest of the mouth works. Neighboring teeth drift, the bite shifts and chewing moves to one side. Replacing a gap with an implant or bridge keeps the surrounding teeth steady, and cone beam imaging shows Dr. Alswaiti the bone in three dimensions before an implant is planned.
Jaw soreness, morning headaches and loud snoring are worth mentioning at a checkup, too. These complaints can point to clenching, a TMJ problem or a sleep-related breathing concern. Dr. Alswaiti has advanced training in orofacial pain and sleep apnea, so these conversations are part of everyday care here rather than an afterthought.
Dentist North Richland Hills, TX Patients Rely On for Lasting Care
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges and dentures rebuild teeth worn down by time. North Richland Hills adults with aging fillings or a broken molar usually start here.
Dental Implant Services
Whether the gap is one tooth, several teeth or a full arch, treatment starts with 3D imaging so the implant position is planned before surgery. Dr. Alswaiti walks North Richland Hills patients through each step in plain language.
Sleep Apnea & TMJ
Snoring, suspected sleep apnea and jaw pain get a careful evaluation. Oral appliance therapy is available when appropriate, and patients without a formal diagnosis can be referred for testing.

Gum disease diagnosis and deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, treat infection below the gumline. Laser treatment is part of our periodontal toolkit.
Preventive Dentistry

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Keller Family Dentistry from North Richland Hills, and how do I get there?
From North Richland Hills City Hall, our office is roughly 6.4 miles away, about 14 minutes by car. You take City Point Dr and the NE Loop 820 frontage road to Rufe Snow Dr, then drive north to N Tarrant Pkwy. For a dentist North Richland Hills, TX drivers can reach without merging onto a freeway, this route keeps things simple.
What are the warning signs of a cracked tooth?
Sharp pain when you bite down or release, sensitivity to hot or cold, and discomfort that comes and goes are the classic signs. Cracks are often too small to see in a mirror. Having the tooth checked early matters, because a crown placed in time can hold a cracked tooth together before it splits.
Is there a toll on the drive from North Richland Hills to your office?
No, the usual route has no tolls. It follows the free NE Loop 820 frontage road for a short stretch and then Rufe Snow Dr north, so you never need the TEXpress lanes. Rush hour on Loop 820 can add a few minutes, so leave a little extra time for a 9:00 AM appointment.
Is laser treatment an option for gum disease?
Yes, periodontal laser treatment is part of the technology our office uses for gum care. It is usually paired with deep cleaning, which removes hardened buildup from the roots. Dr. Alswaiti decides which approach fits after measuring your gum pockets and reviewing x-rays, then explains the plan before any treatment starts.
How long do dental implants last?
An implant post that has fused with healthy bone is meant to be a long-term replacement, and many last for decades with good care. The crown on top can wear over time and may eventually need replacing. Daily brushing and flossing, regular cleanings and avoiding tobacco give an implant the best chance of lasting.
