Convenient Access from Haltom City
For families comparing options for a dentist in Haltom City, TX, Leslie Nason, DDS is roughly 12 minutes north of the new Haltom City Hall. The drive is about 6.3 miles to our office at 1720 Rufe Snow Dr in south Keller, and most of it is one straight run up a single highway.
From City Hall on Haltom Rd, turn onto Springlake Pkwy for about half a mile until it ends at Denton Hwy (US 377). Turn left and head north for roughly four miles, crossing Loop 820 and passing through Watauga. At North Tarrant Parkway, turn right and drive about 1.2 miles east, then turn left on Rufe Snow Dr. Our office is about 0.3 mile north.
The route uses no toll lanes. If you are starting near the Haltom City Public Library, which shares the Haltom Rd campus with City Hall, the directions are identical. Denton Hwy can fill up at rush hour, so plan a few extra minutes for an early slot. Our Google Maps listing has live directions, and we welcome patients from nearby Summerfields and Richland Hills as well.
A Dental Home for Haltom City Households
Haltom City sits in the heart of Tarrant County, ringed by Loop 820, SH 121, US 377 and SH 183, with downtown Fort Worth only about six miles away. It is one of the younger cities in the area, with plenty of children and busy working parents. Free time often means ballgames at Broadway Park or a ride along the bike trail at Buffalo Ridge Park.
A household like that needs a dentist who can see everyone and remember them from one visit to the next. Dr. Leslie Nason has cared for patients in her own independent practice since 2005, and she personally treats each person who sits in her chair. You will not be handed off to a rotating cast of providers.
Our front office team speaks both English and Spanish, which makes it easier for grandparents, parents and kids to understand every step. Questions about cost and timing are answered up front, so there are no surprises when treatment begins. Treatment plans grow out of a shared conversation that Dr. Nason calls co-diagnosis, and she sits at eye level to talk through each finding.
What Haltom City Families Should Know About Their Teeth
Most Haltom City students attend Birdville ISD schools, while some neighborhoods in the north are zoned for Keller ISD. Either way, the school calendar fills fast. Booking siblings back to back on the same morning, during a holiday break, saves parents a second drive up Denton Hwy.
Children's back teeth have deep grooves that trap food and bacteria. Dental sealants shield those grooves, and fluoride helps strengthen young enamel against decay. Regular checkups also let Dr. Nason watch oral habits and breathing patterns as kids grow.
New patients can begin with our $99 Cleaning, Exam & X-Ray, which gives the whole family a simple starting point. Digital x-rays keep radiation low, and AI software helps Dr. Nason read the images for early decay between teeth.
Active kids mean the occasional accident. A tooth broken on the playground or knocked loose during a game needs quick attention, and the practice prioritizes same-day emergency appointments during regular office hours. Calling right away improves the chances of saving an injured tooth.
Adults have their own concerns. Long-time residents may have fillings that are starting to wear, while younger parents sometimes put their own care last. A throbbing ache, sensitivity that lingers after a hot drink, or swelling along the gumline can point to an infection that is better treated sooner than later.
Nervous patients of any age are welcome. The comfort menu offers warm face towels, cozy blankets and bite blocks so a tired jaw can rest, and a compounded numbing gel goes on before any injection. Adults with stronger dental anxiety can ask about nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation for longer procedures.
Parents with older relatives at home may also be thinking about missing teeth. Dental implants and digital dentures are both planned with 3D imaging and scans here, so grandparents can get modern tooth replacement at the same office that cleans the grandkids' teeth.
Family-Focused Care for Anyone Needing a Dentist in Haltom City, TX
These treatments cover most of what Haltom City patients need, from a child's first cleanings with us to a parent's toothache. Dr. Nason provides each one at our Rufe Snow Dr office.
Cleanings for All Ages
Through Family Dentistry, kids receive gentle cleanings, sealants and fluoride, while adults get exams, oral cancer screenings and a look at bite and tooth wear.
Urgent Toothaches and Injuries
Our Same-Day Emergency Dentistry care handles abscesses, knocked-out teeth, broken enamel and lost crowns during regular hours.
Root Canal Therapy
When the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected, Endodontics treatment removes the infection, seals the tooth and lets you chew comfortably again.

Restorative Dentistry replaces decay with tooth-colored fillings and protects cracked teeth with ceramic crowns made by local US dental laboratories.
Healthy Gums
Bleeding while brushing is an early sign of trouble. Periodontics care, including scaling and root planing, helps stop gum disease before it reaches the bone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Leslie Nason, DDS from Haltom City, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 6.3 miles from Haltom City Hall, usually around 12 minutes by car. Take Springlake Pkwy to Denton Hwy (US 377), go north to North Tarrant Parkway, turn right, then turn left on Rufe Snow Dr. For anyone choosing a dentist in Haltom City, TX, that makes a quick and toll-free trip.
What should I do about a swollen gum or face from a toothache?
Call our office promptly, because swelling usually means an infection. An abscess can spread, and bacteria from an infected tooth can enter the bloodstream. Dr. Nason can drain the infection, clean out the root and prescribe antibiotics when needed. We prioritize same-day emergency appointments for problems like this during regular hours.
Will Dr. Nason check on me after a major procedure?
Yes, Dr. Nason makes personal check-in calls after bigger procedures such as implants, oral conscious sedation visits and emergency care. She asks how you are feeling, answers questions and makes sure healing is on track. It is part of the unhurried, relationship-based approach she has followed since opening her own practice in 2005.
What should I do if my child breaks a front tooth?
Call our office as soon as possible. We prioritize same-day emergency appointments during regular hours, Monday through Thursday. Dr. Nason will take digital x-rays to check the root and nerve, then repair the tooth with tooth-colored bonding or a crown depending on how much of it is damaged. Prompt treatment protects the tooth and the nerve inside it.
Why might Dr. Nason recommend a 3D CBCT scan?
A CBCT scan gives a three-dimensional view that flat x-rays cannot show. Dr. Nason uses it to plan dental implants, examine complex root canal problems and evaluate airway space when sleep apnea is a concern. It shows bone density, nerve pathways and sinus areas, which helps her plan treatment precisely.
