Is a free dental visit for a new patient too good to be true? Believe it!

We call it a “look-see” appointment.  If you are a new patient to our practice that is seeking a second opinion, need a treatment estimate, or just want to come talk about a specific dental concern but are not ready to commit to our office yet, we provide a free visit called a “look-see” appointment.  This allows all parties involved to get acquainted with one another without making a commitment.  It is our belief that the more informed you are about the state of your dental health, the better choices you’ll make on your daily habits and what type of treatment you choose to have performed.  With digital x-rays and our intra-oral cameras, you’ll see exactly what we see!  How nice is that! 

How many times have you had your oil changed and the mechanic comes to you and says (with a dirty oil filter in hand): “Sir, you also need to have your oil filter changed today.”  Call me a cynic, but how do you really know that the dirty filter came from your car?  You don’t, unless you were there.  With our intra-oral camera, we take your eyes directly to the problem and you see what we see!  Rest assured, if we recommend treatment, you will SEE exactly why. 

If you, or any of your friends, family or co-workers have a dental problem or concern, please feel free to have them contact us at 817-292-5957 or email us at stovallchengdds@sbcglobal.net.  We’d love to get to know you better and help shed light on your condition!

Restorative Dentistry and Replacement Teeth

Decayed, damaged, or missing teeth can mar your smile, decreasing your confidence and compromising your overall health. As experienced dentists, Dr. Stovall and Dr. Cheng offer a variety of restorative therapies and natural looking replacement teeth to renew dental vitality.

Composite resin fillings restore a tooth damaged by decay while letting you keep your all-white smile. When decay becomes severe or a tooth is cracked, a porcelain crown restores structural integrity and preserves beauty. We can mill your crown in about an hour with revolutionary CEREC in-office milling.

To replace missing teeth, we offer bridges, dentures, partials, and dental implants. Crooked smiles benefit from Invisalign clear aligners, which straighten teeth discreetly and efficiently, often in less than a year. With full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Stovall and Dr. Cheng return oral function and appearance to smiles needing comprehensive care.

After reviewing our restorative and replacement teeth options, call to schedule your appointment with Dr. Stovall or Dr. Cheng. Our convenient Fort Worth office serves residents of Crowley, Granbury, Weatherford, and surrounding areas.

Preventive Dentistry and Dental Cleanings are very important

Healthy teeth and gums are crucial for optimal oral health. Don’t let offenders like decay, gum disease, and oral cancer rob you of a fantastic smile. Dr. Stovall and Dr. Cheng can  stop these smile-stealers with comprehensive general  dental care

We recommend that you come in for a thorough checkup and cleaning every six months so that we can prevent dental problems in the early stage, before they create significant damage. In your checkup, if we find that you suffer with frequent headaches or jaw pain, we’ll study your jaw position and may recommend an oral appliance to relieve TMJ dysfunction or teeth grinding. For snorers, we offer an oral appliance that positions the jaw forward to allow free airflow and alleviate snoring and sleep apnea. Our athletic patients will benefit from a custom-made mouthguard to prevent oral injuries in the game and on the field. Dr. Stovall and Dr. Cheng can also check wisdom teeth and perform minor oral surgeries in the comfort of our office. So whatever your general or preventive dental need, we have you covered!

Make dental care a priority. Take a moment to review our general and preventive dentistry options, and then call our Fort Worth office to schedule your appointment with Dr. Stovall or Dr. Cheng. We provide quality dental care to residents of Granbury Weatherford, Benbrook, and surrounding areas.
