Convenient Access from Roanoke
If you want a dentist in Roanoke, TX households can reach without fighting freeway traffic, Leslie Nason, DDS is roughly 15 minutes away, about 8 miles south on US 377. Our office is at 1720 Rufe Snow Dr in south Keller, a short stretch north of N Tarrant Pkwy. Most of the trip is one long, simple road, which makes a quick morning cleaning easy to plan.
Starting at Roanoke City Hall on S Oak St, hop over to Parish Ln and turn onto US 377 heading south. Stay on 377 for close to five miles, then turn left onto Bear Creek Pkwy and keep going past the roundabout. A right turn puts you on Rufe Snow Dr; drive south about 1.7 miles and our building is on the street before you reach N Tarrant Pkwy.
The drive begins near the restaurants and shops of historic Oak Street, a few blocks from the public library on S Walnut St and Roanoke Community Park with its fishing pier and pond trail. Families on the Trophy Club side of town and those near the county line by Westlake follow nearly the same route; our Trophy Club page covers that start. US 377 through Keller tends to slow at rush hour, so leave a few extra minutes for an 8 AM visit. Our pin on Google Maps shows the building and the turn off Rufe Snow Dr.
A Steady Dental Home for a Fast-Growing Roanoke
Roanoke has changed quickly. The population grew by about three-quarters between 2010 and 2020, the old town of Marshall Creek became part of the city in 2007, and new neighborhoods keep filling in around downtown. Most of the city sits in Denton County, with a thin slice reaching into Tarrant County, and the trip south to our office simply crosses that line. When a family moves into a town that is growing this fast, finding one dental office to stay with for years matters more than finding the nearest open chair.
That kind of continuity is what Dr. Leslie Nason built her practice around. She opened her own independent, doctor-owned office in 2005, and the same dentist sees you at every visit. Appointments are unhurried, and treatment is planned through co-diagnosis: she shows you what she sees, talks it through face to face, and you decide on the plan together.
Visits are built around comfort. Our comfort menu includes warm face towels, cozy blankets, lip balm and bite blocks that rest a tired jaw, and compounded numbing gels make injections easier to tolerate. Intraoral digital scanners replace messy impression putty, and CBCT 3D imaging gives Dr. Nason a fuller view when she plans more involved care.
Our team speaks English and Spanish, which helps households where some relatives would rather talk through care in Spanish. We are open Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and dental emergencies are seen during those regular hours.
What Roanoke Parents and Food Lovers Should Know About Their Teeth
Many Roanoke children attend Northwest ISD schools, and older students head to Byron Nelson High School in nearby Trophy Club. Growing kids benefit from protective sealants on the chewing surfaces of their molars, fluoride treatments that strengthen young enamel, and early checks of oral habits and breathing patterns. Our office welcomes young patients with a gentle tour first, so a new visitor knows what each tool does before anyone sits back in the chair.
Roanoke also carries an unusual title: the Texas House named it the Unique Dining Capital of Texas, and the city counts more than 60 restaurants. Dining out often is part of the fun of living here, but frequent coffee, tea, sauces and sweet drinks add up. Regular cleanings remove surface staining and plaque, and professional whitening can brighten enamel that has dulled over time.
Parents deserve attention too. Busy adults often put their own checkups last, and small problems such as a cracked filling or bleeding gums tend to grow quietly. Clenching at night is another common issue; a custom nightguard protects enamel and restorations from that grinding pressure. Loud snoring and morning fatigue are worth mentioning at your exam, because Dr. Nason screens for airway problems that can point to sleep apnea.
Kids who shoot hoops at Cannon Parkway Park or ride the city skate park need protective gear for their teeth as well. A custom sports mouthguard fits more securely than a generic one, and it is one of the simplest ways to prevent a chipped or knocked-out front tooth.
Dental Services for Patients Choosing a Dentist in Roanoke, TX
These are the services families up the US 377 corridor ask about most. Each one is provided in our Rufe Snow Dr office by Dr. Nason herself.
Care for Every Age
Our Family Dentistry visits include cleanings, exams, oral cancer screenings, sealants and fluoride. AI-assisted digital x-rays help Dr. Nason spot small cavities early in kids and adults alike.
Brighter, More Even Smiles
With Cosmetic Dentistry, chips, gaps and worn edges can be refined with bonding or porcelain veneers. For stains from all that dining out, Opalescence Whitening is a professional option.
Help When Something Breaks
Sports injuries and sudden toothaches happen. Same-Day Emergency Dentistry means we work to see urgent problems the day you call, during our Monday through Thursday hours.
Repairs That Look Natural
Old fillings wear out and teeth crack. Through Restorative Dentistry, Dr. Nason rebuilds them with tooth-colored fillings, inlays, onlays or ceramic crowns made with US dental laboratories, then checks that your bite feels even.
Gentle Soft-Tissue Treatment
A soft-tissue laser lets Dr. Nason release a tight lip or tongue attachment, recontour gums, or disinfect gum pockets with little bleeding. Our Laser Dentistry page explains how it works.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Leslie Nason, DDS from Roanoke, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 8 miles from Roanoke City Hall, a drive of roughly 15 minutes. Take US 377 south, turn left on Bear Creek Pkwy, then right on Rufe Snow Dr. Patients who need a dentist in Roanoke, TX will find us at 1720 Rufe Snow Dr, just north of N Tarrant Pkwy.
Do you give children a tour before their first cleaning?
Yes. New patients, including kids, get a welcoming tour of the office, and we explain each tool in simple words before anything starts. Seeing the chair, the light and the water spray first helps a child relax, so the cleaning itself feels familiar rather than surprising.
Will professional whitening lift stains from coffee, tea and dining out?
In most cases, yes. Professional whitening is designed to lift deep-set surface stains from drinks and foods. Deeper discoloration inside the tooth may not respond fully to whitening gel; for those teeth, Dr. Nason may suggest porcelain veneers or ceramic crowns matched to the shade you want.
Does AI software help find cavities on my child's x-rays?
Yes. Our digital x-rays are reviewed with the help of artificial intelligence software that highlights subtle density changes and early decay patterns. Dr. Nason still reads every image herself, but that second look helps her catch small cavities early, when treatment is simpler and more conservative.
Can a tight lip or tongue tie be released with a dental laser?
Yes. Dr. Nason performs frenectomy procedures with a soft-tissue laser, releasing tight tissue under the lip or tongue that can affect speech, feeding and oral movement. The laser seals the area as it works, so bleeding is minimal and stitches are rarely needed. An exam comes first to confirm the procedure is appropriate.
