Convenient Access from Keller
Anyone weighing a dentist Keller, TX commuters can reach on one straight road should know that 100 Dental Southlake is about 12 minutes east of Old Town Keller. Our office is on E Southlake Blvd in Southlake, a short way past the city line. Both of our dentists start seeing patients at 8 AM Monday through Thursday, and Friday visits run until noon. For many locals, that early hour is the whole appeal.
Start in Old Town Keller, where restaurants and small shops line Main St (US 377) and Olive St. Go a block south on Main St and turn east onto Keller Pkwy (FM 1709). At Pearson Ln the road takes the name W Southlake Blvd, but you never leave it: keep going east past Southridge Lakes Pkwy and across White Chapel Blvd. Our office is on the south side at 271 E Southlake Blvd #100, Southlake, TX 76092, about 6.5 miles from your starting point.
No toll lane or freeway ramp is involved, just one Farm to Market road from end to end. Rush hour does add time on FM 1709, so build in a few extra minutes for the first slot of the day. Keep our Google Maps listing handy for the final stretch. The parkway runs right past the neighborhood of Southridge Lakes, and the gated Vaquero community up Davis Blvd in Westlake has a page of its own.
An Early-Start Dental Office for Keller Weekdays
Keller promotes itself as Texas's Most Family-Friendly City, and the weekday rhythm shows it. Mornings fill with school runs, gym sessions and drives toward offices across the metroplex. A dental appointment that lands in the middle of the day can unravel all of that. One at 8 AM usually does not.
That is why we keep the schedule simple. The office opens at 8 AM and closes at 5 PM Monday through Thursday, then sees patients on Friday from 8 AM until noon. It is closed Saturday and Sunday. If you live on the west side of the city near US 377, the drive east on Keller Pkwy is the same road you might already use to reach SH 114 or errands in neighboring towns.
Geography helps too. Keller sits in northeast Tarrant County, on the western fringe of the Eastern Cross Timbers, with Big Bear Creek winding through the area and Roanoke and North Richland Hills nearby. You can be at our front desk without crossing a single highway interchange, which makes rescheduling or a quick follow-up far less of a project.
Gums, Coverage and Cracked Teeth: What Keller Adults Should Know
Gum disease is easy to overlook because it rarely hurts at first. Pink in the sink after brushing, gums that look puffy, or a tooth that feels slightly loose are the early signals. Every first exam here includes periodontal charting, which measures the small pockets around each tooth so changes can be tracked visit to visit. When those pockets run deep, scaling and root planing cleans beneath the gumline where a routine cleaning cannot reach.
Coverage is the other common snag. People change jobs, retire early or lose a plan in a move, and checkups are often the first thing to slide. The 100 Smile Plan is an in-house membership, not dental insurance, priced at $450 for one person, $630 for two, $870 for a family of three and $180 for each added member. It includes two cleanings, two fluoride treatments, plus unlimited exams, x-rays and emergency exams, with reduced fees on diagnosed treatment, and it cannot be combined with insurance.
New patients without insurance can also start with the $89 cleaning, exam and x-rays. That price applies in the absence of periodontal disease, because gum treatment follows a different plan. It is a straightforward way to find out where your mouth stands before deciding on anything else.
Cracked teeth and sudden aches do not wait for a convenient week. New patients can book the $49 emergency exam and x-rays, which covers a focused look at the problem, any images needed and a treatment recommendation. The team strives to fit emergency patients into the schedule as quickly as it can.
Dentist Keller, TX Services for Gums, Urgent Problems and Repairs
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, digital x-rays and head-and-neck screenings form the base of every adult's care. Regular visits catch decay and early gum changes while they are still small. Keller patients who have skipped a year or two can restart here without a lecture.
Laser Dentistry
A dental laser can reduce bacteria in gum pockets and treat soft tissue with great precision. The service pages describe it as gentler, with faster healing. It is a useful partner to deep cleanings when gums need extra help.
Emergency Dentistry
A broken filling, a swollen gum or a tooth that throbs at night all deserve a prompt call. Our team works to fit urgent cases into the weekday schedule. X-rays show what is happening below the surface before any treatment is chosen.
Implants & Restorative Care
Fillings, crowns, bridges and implants rebuild teeth after decay or a fracture. Two iTero Lumina scanners take digital impressions, so there is no tray of putty to bite down on. Repairs are planned to protect as much natural tooth as possible.
Sensitivity to cold drinks or brushing does not always mean a cavity. Worn enamel or a receding gumline can expose the softer layer underneath, and desensitization treatment can calm those spots once an exam rules out decay.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is 100 Dental Southlake from Keller, and how do I get there?
Old Town Keller is about 6.5 miles from our office, a drive of roughly 12 minutes. You take Keller Pkwy (FM 1709) east, stay on it as it becomes W Southlake Blvd at Pearson Ln, and continue across White Chapel Blvd to E Southlake Blvd. People looking for a dentist Keller, TX drivers can reach without tolls or freeway merges will find it simple.
Are bleeding gums a sign I need a deep cleaning?
Bleeding gums are often an early sign of gum inflammation, though not everyone who bleeds needs a deep cleaning. Periodontal charting measures the pockets around each tooth to tell the difference. Shallow pockets usually respond to a regular cleaning and better flossing, while deeper ones may call for scaling and root planing, sometimes paired with laser treatment.
Does the 100 Smile Plan cover emergency exams?
Yes, the 100 Smile Plan includes unlimited emergency exams along with unlimited routine exams and x-rays. Emergency exams outside office hours are not part of the plan. Treatment that comes out of an emergency visit, such as a filling, is billed at the plan's reduced fee rather than included outright. Keep in mind it is a membership rather than insurance, so the two cannot be used together.
Which tooth problems should I call about right away?
Severe or throbbing tooth pain, facial swelling, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, and a lost crown or filling are all worth a call. Swelling with a fever needs attention quickly. A small chip with no pain can usually wait for a routine visit, but the team can help you decide over the phone.
Can tooth sensitivity be treated without a filling?
Often, yes. When sensitivity comes from worn enamel or gum recession instead of a cavity, a desensitizing treatment can seal the exposed surface and reduce the zing from cold drinks. A switch to a sensitivity toothpaste and gentler brushing helps too. The exam comes first, because a hidden crack or cavity needs different care.
