Convenient Access from Roanoke
Roanoke parents and professionals can reach us with one long, easy run down US 377, usually in about 15 minutes. As a dentist Roanoke, TX families can count on for every age, Keller Family Dentistry, Sleep & Facial Pain offers checkups, children's care, wisdom tooth removal and comfort options in one place. Our Keller office is open 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Saturday.
From Roanoke City Hall at 500 S Oak St, follow Oak St and Union Ave through the historic downtown, then take Parish Ln over to US 377. Head south on US 377 through Keller, where the highway becomes Main St, and turn east on N Tarrant Pkwy. Almost the whole trip is that single southbound highway.
The drive is about 8.7 miles from City Hall, and most patients arrive in 15 minutes. You will find us at 841 N Tarrant Pkwy #112, Keller, TX 76248, just past the Rufe Snow Dr intersection beside a CVS. Families in Westlake and the Villages of Woodland Springs sit close by and have their own directions.
A Family-Friendly Dental Home for Roanoke
Roanoke has grown quickly over the past decade, and many of the newcomers are young families. The city's core still centers on Oak Street, the historic downtown where City Hall stands. Roanoke City Hall sits in Denton County, while a small slice of the city extends south into Tarrant County.
New neighborhoods often mean new routines. Families who just moved in still need a pediatric-friendly dentist, a place for Mom and Dad, and someone to call when a tooth breaks. We care for all of them in one office, so a household can keep its records, x-rays and treatment history together.
Saturday appointments, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, let kids come in without missing class, and our team can confirm times by text. Weekday traffic on US 377 slows at rush hour, so leave a little extra time for an early slot.
The Texas House of Representatives named Roanoke "The Unique Dining Capital of Texas," and locals enjoy plenty of restaurants close to home. Coffee, tea, sauces and sweets all leave their mark over time. Regular cleanings remove surface stains, and professional whitening is available when you want a bigger change.
Parents deserve attention too. Tooth-colored fillings and same-day crowns repair damage without a string of return trips, and an endodontic microscope supports root canal treatment when a tooth becomes infected. Adults who wake with a sore jaw or snore heavily can bring that up as well, since Dr. Alswaiti has advanced training in orofacial pain and sleep apnea.
Growing Smiles in Roanoke: What Parents Should Know
Children in Roanoke attend Northwest ISD schools, including Byron Nelson High School in neighboring Trophy Club. Over those school years, teeth change quickly. Baby teeth loosen, permanent molars arrive, and the jaw grows to make room. Each stage brings its own dental checklist.
Early checkups set the tone. A first visit introduces a toddler to the chair, the lights and the gentle cleaning instruments in a calm way. Sealants protect back teeth once they come in, and fluoride strengthens enamel. Parents also get practical guidance on brushing, flossing and snack choices.
Around grade school, Dr. Alswaiti watches how the bite is developing. Crowding or a jaw that shifts to one side can sometimes be guided while a child is still growing, through early orthodontic intervention. Later, teens may need wisdom teeth evaluated and possibly removed before they cause crowding or pain.
Active kids also spend a lot of time at Roanoke Community Park, the skate park on Cannon Pkwy and the slides at Hawaiian Falls. Falls and collisions can chip or loosen a tooth. When that happens, we reserve openings for same-day visits when problems come up, and US 377 brings you straight to the office.
How Our Dentist Roanoke, TX Patients Visit Can Help
Children's Dentistry
First visits, gentle cleanings and age-appropriate preventive care build healthy habits early. We keep the experience calm and positive for young patients. Parents get clear answers about teething, cavities and growing teeth.
Oral Surgery
Extractions, including wisdom teeth, are handled right here, along with bone grafting when needed. Cone beam and panoramic imaging show exactly where each tooth sits. Teens can often schedule removal during a school break.
Sedation Dentistry
Mild or moderate sedation is available after an individual evaluation. Options include nitrous oxide and oral sedation, which requires a responsible adult driver. It helps anxious patients get through longer visits more comfortably.
Preventive Dentistry
Exams, cleanings, digital x-rays, fluoride and oral cancer screenings form the foundation of care. Sealants, mouthguards and nightguards add extra protection. Roanoke families can keep everyone on the same six-month rhythm.
Emergency Services
Toothaches, swelling, infections and broken or knocked-out teeth need quick attention. Our office treats dental emergencies and keeps room for urgent problems. Calling early in the day helps us plan your visit.
Budgeting for several children is easier with a membership. Under the KFDDS In-House Plan, the first member pays $149 a year and each added family member pays $125, with discounted rates on dental services for patients without insurance. When a child does need a filling, our office numbs the tooth with The Wand®, a computer-controlled anesthetic delivery system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Keller Family Dentistry from Roanoke, and how do I get there?
We are about 8.7 miles from Roanoke City Hall, which is around a 15-minute drive. Take Oak St and Parish Ln to US 377, drive south through Keller, then turn east on N Tarrant Pkwy. It is a toll-free trip for families who want a dentist Roanoke, TX parents can reach on one main highway.
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
Plan the first dental visit by your child's first birthday or soon after the first tooth appears. That early appointment is short and mostly about getting comfortable. Dr. Alswaiti checks the teeth and gums, looks for early signs of decay and gives parents simple tips for brushing and feeding at home.
When should my child's bite be checked for early orthodontic treatment?
Around age seven is a good time for a first bite check. By then, the first permanent molars and front teeth have usually arrived, so crowding or crossbites start to show. Catching these early can sometimes simplify treatment later. Dr. Alswaiti looks at the bite during routine children's visits and lets parents know if anything needs a closer look.
How can I keep my child's teeth healthy between checkups?
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and start flossing once teeth touch each other. Limit sipping on juice or sports drinks throughout the day, and offer water between meals instead. Sealants and fluoride at checkups add protection. Helping with brushing until about age seven or eight makes sure the back teeth get cleaned well.
Can wisdom teeth be removed at your office?
Yes, wisdom teeth extractions are part of the oral surgery services at our Keller office. Dr. Alswaiti first reviews imaging to see how each tooth is positioned. If removal makes sense, he explains the procedure, recovery and any sedation options so you know what to expect before the appointment.
