Convenient Access from Blue Mound
Blue Mound residents who need a dentist in Blue Mound, TX can reach Leslie Nason, DDS in about 17 minutes. Our office sits at 1720 Rufe Snow Dr in south Keller, roughly 8.7 miles from Blue Mound City Hall. The drive heads east across north Fort Worth on one main boulevard and avoids every toll lane.
From City Hall on S Blue Mound Rd (FM 156), drive about 0.8 mile and turn right onto Basswood Blvd. Basswood carries you east for nearly five miles, through a pair of roundabouts and over I-35W, until it meets Denton Hwy (US 377). Go north on Denton Hwy for about 1.4 miles, turn right on North Tarrant Parkway for 1.2 miles, then turn left on Rufe Snow Dr. Our building is about 0.3 mile up the road.
If you are leaving from City Park on Fagan Dr, simply work your way over to FM 156 first. Traffic near I-35W can slow down at rush hour, so leave a little extra time for a morning visit. Our Google Maps listing can send the route straight to your phone. Patients from Saginaw and Summerfields make similar trips.
A Dental Home for a Close-Knit Blue Mound
Blue Mound is one of the smallest cities in Tarrant County, covering only about half a square mile along FM 156. It started out as Saginaw Park, took its name from a nearby hill and incorporated in 1957. Back in the 1950s, the old Globe Aircraft site here was where Bell Helicopter worked on early helicopter designs.
Today it is a quiet bedroom community where most families own their homes and many adults work in Fort Worth. The city's Fall Festival at City Park draws neighbors together each year. People here are practical, and they want straightforward care without a lot of runaround.
That is how Dr. Leslie Nason has run her practice since 2005. She is the only dentist in the office, so you see her at every visit. She explains what she finds in plain terms, sits at eye level to talk it through and lets you decide what comes first.
What Blue Mound Families Should Know About Dental Care
Children in Blue Mound attend Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD schools, and keeping their teeth healthy through the school years is mostly about steady habits. Twice-yearly cleanings, sealants on the back teeth and fluoride to strengthen enamel all help prevent cavities. Kids who play sports should wear a custom mouthguard to protect their front teeth.
Working parents often push their own care to the bottom of the list. A small cavity that goes untreated can reach the nerve, and a cracked filling can let decay spread underneath. Catching these problems at a routine exam costs less time and money than waiting until a tooth hurts.
When something does go wrong, speed matters. The office prioritizes same-day emergency appointments during regular hours for toothaches, swelling and broken teeth. New patients can start with a $49 Emergency Exam & X-Ray, and Dr. Nason personally checks in later that day.
Budget is a real concern for many households. Because the practice works outside insurance networks, our team files claims for those with coverage and offers a membership plan for those without it. You know the costs before treatment starts, so there are no surprises.
If dental visits make you uneasy, comfort is built in. Warm face towels, blankets, lip balm and bite blocks are on the comfort menu, and compounded numbing gel is applied before injections. Our team also speaks English and Spanish.
Older relatives living with the family have options too. Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants planned on CBCT 3D imaging, and digital dentures are designed from scans rather than goopy impressions. Both start with an unhurried consultation where Dr. Nason reviews your health history and goals.
Snoring is another topic worth raising. Loud, chronic snoring with gasping or morning headaches can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, and a custom oral appliance is one treatment Dr. Nason can discuss with your sleep physician.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Leslie Nason, DDS from Blue Mound, and how do I get there?
Leslie Nason, DDS is roughly 8.7 miles from Blue Mound City Hall, about a 17-minute drive. Take FM 156 to Basswood Blvd, head east to Denton Hwy, go north to North Tarrant Parkway and turn left on Rufe Snow Dr. Families who want a dentist in Blue Mound, TX can make the whole trip without a toll road.
Can Blue Mound parents and their children see the same dentist?
Yes. Our family dentistry covers growing children, adults and seniors, so one dentist can follow the whole household over the years. Visits include check-ups, cleanings and digital x-rays, and Dr. Nason adjusts each exam to the patient's stage of life. Patients of every age are seen Monday through Thursday, from 8 AM until 5 PM.
Will I need someone to drive me home after nitrous oxide?
Usually not, because nitrous oxide wears off within minutes after treatment ends. Oral conscious sedation is different. It is a prescription medication taken before the appointment, and patients who choose it need a trusted friend or family member to drive them to and from the office. Dr. Nason reviews these guidelines before your visit.
Do I always need a crown when an old filling breaks?
No, a crown is not always necessary. When enough healthy tooth remains, a new tooth-colored filling, an inlay or an onlay can repair the damage while saving more natural enamel. A crown is the better choice when the tooth is badly weakened or cracked. Dr. Nason uses digital x-rays to decide which repair fits.
What is co-diagnosis, and how does it change my visit?
Co-diagnosis means you and Dr. Nason review your x-rays and findings together before deciding on care. She sits at eye level, explains what she sees and listens to your goals and concerns. The plan is shaped by your health and priorities, not by a generic insurance guideline, so you always know why a treatment is recommended.
