Convenient Access from Park Glen
Parents juggling school runs and practices can reach Leslie Nason, DDS in about 8 minutes, which makes us an easy dentist near Park Glen to fit into a packed week. The office sits at 1720 Rufe Snow Dr, Keller, TX 76248, just across the city line from Fort Worth, and Dr. Leslie Nason sees every patient herself.
Starting from Park Glen Elementary at 5100 Glen Canyon Rd, take Park Ridge Dr for a block, turn right on Glen Canyon Rd, and then turn left onto Park Vista Blvd. Ride Park Vista north for just under a mile until it meets N Tarrant Pkwy. Turn right and stay on the parkway heading east for about 2 miles, crossing US 377 at the Keller edge.
From there, a left on Rufe Snow Dr brings you to our door a few hundred yards north of the parkway. The whole drive is roughly 3.6 miles, mostly on one long boulevard and one parkway, with no highway merges. Open the office on Google Maps to save it, and note that we also serve families in nearby Watauga and Summerfields.
Why Park Glen Families Make Us Their Dental Home
The neighborhood is big. Fort Worth's Public Improvement District 6 covers more than 4,400 homes along with about 80 businesses, and it pays for the landscaped medians, greenbelts and Fourth of July fireworks that give the neighborhood its feel. With that many households, a lot of kitchens have a calendar covered in sports, school events and work shifts.
Our goal is to make dental care one of the easier boxes to check. Dr. Nason keeps appointments unhurried, so questions get answered in the chair instead of on a follow-up call. She reviews x-rays with you on screen, talks through what is urgent and what can wait, and lets you decide the order of treatment. When a crown or gum treatment is needed, she lays out each step clearly so you can plan it around school breaks and busy seasons.
Parents also like having one doctor who knows the whole family. Records for every child and adult live in one office, and patterns such as a shared tendency toward cavities or gum bleeding are easier to spot when one dentist sees everyone.
Comfort counts, especially for kids who are new to the dental chair. Our comfort menu includes warm face towels, blankets and compounded numbing gels, and nitrous oxide is available for anyone who feels anxious. Intraoral scanners replace bulky impression trays, which tends to make visits easier for small mouths and strong gag reflexes.
Dental Health Notes for Park Glen Households
The neighborhood sits inside Fort Worth and Tarrant County but sends its kids to Keller ISD campuses such as Park Glen Elementary and Hillwood Middle School. School-age children are at their most cavity-prone when the permanent molars come in, because those deep grooves trap snacks and sticky foods. Sealants paint a thin shield over the chewing surfaces and are one of the simplest ways to protect them.
Teens bring their own habits. Sports drinks and all-day snacking keep enamel under a steady acid attack, so a routine checkup is often where early soft spots get caught. Digital x-rays, read with help from AI analysis software, make those small changes easier to see while a simple filling can still fix them.
Plenty of local families spend free time on the tennis and pickleball courts or the 1.24 miles of trails at Arcadia Trail Park. Active kids benefit from a custom sports mouthguard, and adults who play hard can crack a tooth just as easily. Mesa Verde Park and Parkwood Hill Park, both kept up with district funds, add even more open space close to home.
Adults face different risks. Gum disease often develops quietly, with only some bleeding while flossing or a bit of lingering bad breath. Night clenching shows up as flattened edges or tiny cracks, and a custom nightguard can ease that wear. Snoring is another clue worth mentioning, since it can signal a narrowed airway, and Dr. Nason evaluates the airway as part of a broader exam when symptoms point that way.
Services for Patients Choosing a Dentist Near Park Glen
Here are the treatments local families lean on most, with a link to each one.
Kids and Parents Alike
Family Dentistry covers cleanings, exams, oral cancer screenings, protective sealants and fluoride, along with custom sports mouthguards for young athletes.
Root Canal Therapy
When a deep infection reaches the nerve, Endodontics lets Dr. Nason clean and seal the inside of the tooth so you keep it. CBCT 3D imaging helps her trace each canal before she starts.
Snoring and Airway Care
Our Sleep Apnea Treatment uses airway imaging and sleep questionnaires, and we work with sleep physicians on a diagnosis. A custom oral appliance can then hold the jaw slightly forward at night.
Healthy Gums
Periodontics starts with pocket measurements around each tooth. If tartar has worked below the gumline, scaling and root planing clears it so tissue can tighten back up.
Brighter Teeth
For parents who want a lift before family photos, Opalescence Whitening is available in the office or with custom take-home trays fitted to your bite.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Leslie Nason, DDS from Park Glen, and how do I get there?
It is about 3.6 miles from Park Glen Elementary, or roughly an 8-minute drive. Head north on Park Vista Blvd, turn right on N Tarrant Pkwy toward Keller, and then turn left on Rufe Snow Dr. Parents who want a dentist near Park Glen can usually fit a visit between school drop-off and lunch.
Does the membership plan cover every child in a Park Glen household?
Yes, as long as each child lives in the household and is under 23. The first person on the plan pays $499 a year, and each secondary member pays $449. Every member gets two exams, two cleanings and necessary x-rays per benefit year, plus 15% off general services when paying by cash or check.
Are dental sealants worth it for Park Glen grade-schoolers?
Usually, yes. Sealants coat the deep grooves of developing molars so food and cavity-causing bacteria have a harder time settling in. They are applied during a regular visit, and Dr. Nason checks them at later cleanings. Pairing sealants with fluoride and good brushing habits gives young teeth strong protection.
Could loud snoring mean a Park Glen parent should be checked for sleep apnea?
It can. Loud snoring with gasping or pauses, daytime fatigue and morning headaches are all common warning signs. Dr. Nason can screen your airway with CBCT 3D imaging and a sleep questionnaire, then work with a sleep physician on a diagnosis. Mild to moderate cases often respond well to a custom oral appliance.
What signs tell a Park Glen patient a tooth may need a root canal?
Throbbing pain that worsens when you lie down is a classic sign. Other clues include sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, a tender spot or small bump on the gum near the root, and a tooth turning gray. Root canal therapy is designed to relieve that pain and save the tooth.
