Dentist Near Heritage

Convenient Access from Heritage

Families hunting for a dentist near Heritage can reach Leslie Nason, DDS in about 8 minutes from the southeast side of the community. Our office is at 1720 Rufe Snow Dr, Keller, TX 76248, a short run east along N Tarrant Pkwy, and Dr. Leslie Nason has cared for patients from this part of north Fort Worth since opening her practice in 2005.

A good starting point is Vineyards of Heritage Park at 5280 Alto Loma Dr. Take Scotts Valley St to Shiver Rd and turn left, then turn left again onto Ray White Rd and head south for about half a mile. At N Tarrant Pkwy, turn left and drive east a little over 2 miles, crossing US 377 along the way.

The last step is a left on Rufe Snow Dr; the office is a few hundred yards north of the parkway. The full drive is roughly 3.5 miles on surface streets, with no tolls and no interstate. Save the office on Google Maps for the first trip, and know that patients from Park Glen and Watauga come in along much the same roads.

Your Heritage Family's Dental Home, Minutes Away

The neighborhood opened in 2001 as a Hillwood master-planned community, and it now spreads across roughly 2,300 acres of trails, pools and tree-lined streets inside Fort Worth city limits. Even so, its schools belong to Keller ISD, and the City of Keller starts just to the east. That makes our office on the Keller side of N Tarrant Pkwy a natural fit for households that already shop, play and attend school in this corner of Tarrant County.

People here keep full calendars, so we try to make each visit count. Dr. Nason reviews digital x-rays with you on a chairside screen, explains what she sees in plain terms, and lets you weigh the options before anything is scheduled. If a child needs a sealant and a parent needs a crown, we can map out both plans at once.

Technology helps keep those visits efficient. Intraoral digital scanners replace goopy impression trays, which kids and adults with a strong gag reflex appreciate, and CBCT 3D imaging lets Dr. Nason plan implants or study a tricky root canal without sending you elsewhere for scans. AI software that reviews digital x-rays adds a second set of eyes for early decay.

Because the practice is doctor-owned, there is no corporate quota driving the chair. You see the same dentist each time, and she has the freedom to plan care around your goals instead of a payer's checklist.

What Heritage Residents Should Know About Active-Lifestyle Dental Care

The community was built around the outdoors. Hillwood planned about 10 miles of hike-and-bike paths and more than 100 acres of parks, and North Park adds soccer and softball fields plus an inline hockey rink. Another city park, a 36.8-acre space along Heritage Trace Pkwy, rounds out the list with trails, volleyball courts and water features.

All that activity is great for health, yet it puts teeth at risk. A stray elbow in a pickup game or a fall from a bike can chip a front tooth in seconds. A custom sports mouthguard, molded to your child's bite, sits more securely than a one-size version from the store.

Teenagers at Central High School and nearby campuses also start caring more about how their smiles look. Coffee, sports drinks and soda can dull enamel quickly, and some teens want whitening before senior photos or a first job. Parents tend to be thinking about wear, old fillings and gum health, which is why one family visit often covers very different goals.

Adults in the community face their own set of issues. Clenching through stressful workweeks can flatten the edges of teeth or crack older fillings, and a custom nightguard is a simple way to slow that wear. Snoring and daytime fatigue are worth raising at a checkup as well, since Dr. Nason screens for the airway problems linked to sleep apnea.

These treatments match what local households tend to need most, from first cleanings to brighter smiles. Each card links to a page with more detail on how Dr. Nason approaches that care.

    Through Family Dentistry, children and adults get thorough exams, cleanings, sealants and custom mouthguards for sports, plus nightguards for anyone who clenches while sleeping.

  • Smile Upgrades

    Our Cosmetic Dentistry options include porcelain veneers, bonding and ceramic crowns, planned from digital scans so you can talk through shape and shade before any work begins.

  • Professional Whitening

    Opalescence Whitening comes as an in-office treatment or custom take-home trays. Dr. Nason checks teeth and gums first and can adjust gel strength for sensitive smiles.

  • Gentle Gum Care

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Leslie Nason, DDS from Heritage, and how do I get there?

From Vineyards of Heritage Park, the office is roughly 3.5 miles away, about an 8-minute drive. Follow Shiver Rd and Ray White Rd south to N Tarrant Pkwy, head east across US 377, then turn left on Rufe Snow Dr. Many parents choose us as their dentist near Heritage because the whole trip stays on local streets.

Does Dr. Nason make custom sports mouthguards for Heritage kids and teens?

Yes. Custom sports mouthguards are part of our family dental care, and Dr. Nason fits each one to the athlete's own bite. A guard molded from that fit stays put during contact and helps shield front teeth from chips and cracks during practices and games, so young players are more likely to keep it in.

How does Opalescence whitening work for Heritage patients with sensitive teeth?

Opalescence gels contain potassium nitrate and fluoride to help limit sensitivity. Dr. Nason can lower the strength or shorten wear times if your teeth react, and she checks your gums and enamel before you start. You can choose an in-office session for quicker change or custom take-home trays for a gradual lift.

Can an anxious Heritage parent use nitrous oxide during a routine cleaning?

Yes. Nitrous oxide is available for cleanings as well as larger procedures, and it wears off within minutes after treatment. It lets you relax while staying alert enough to talk with the team. Oral conscious sedation is another choice for longer appointments, and we review your health history before either one.

Why would a Heritage patient choose laser gum treatment?

A soft-tissue laser seals small blood vessels as it works, so there is typically less bleeding and swelling, and stitches are rarely needed. During deep cleanings it helps disinfect gum pockets so tissue can reattach. Many patients find they need only a little numbing gel for minor laser procedures.
