Preventive Dentistry in Keller, TX
The simplest, lowest-cost way to keep your smile healthy: regular cleanings, exams, and early-detection x-rays - combined into our $179 New Patient Special.
Healthy mouths start with consistency, not crisis.
Preventive dentistry is the discipline of catching problems before they become procedures. A 30-minute cleaning every six months prevents the cavities, gum disease, and bone loss that drive most of the expensive dental work people end up needing later.
Every preventive visit at KPD includes a hygiene cleaning, an oral cancer screening, gum health check, and the appropriate x-rays based on your history. We focus on what's changing - not just what's wrong today.
Why patients choose Preventive Dentistry in Keller, TX.
Catch issues early
A small cavity treated this year is a $200 filling. Ignored, it's a $899 root canal next year. Prevention is the cheapest dentistry.
Brighter, fresher smile
Professional cleanings remove the surface stains and hard tartar that no toothbrush can reach.
Whole-body health
Gum disease is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Healthy gums protect more than your mouth.
Family-friendly visits
Two dentists on staff means we can usually book the whole household in one visit.
$179 first visit - exam, x-rays, and cleaning
Includes a complete set of x-rays, comprehensive exam, and a regular adult cleaning (prophy). For uninsured new patients. If you're not eligible for a regular cleaning, x-rays + exam only is $129.

What Happens During a Preventive Visit.
A complete visit in four simple steps — every time.
-
01Digital X-Rays
We take digital radiographs to see what is happening beneath the surface. Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film and provide instant, detailed images for accurate diagnosis.
-
02
Professional Cleaning
Our hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup from all tooth surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas below the gumline. We finish with polishing to remove surface stains and leave your teeth feeling smooth.
-
03Comprehensive Exam
Your dentist performs a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues. This includes an oral cancer screening and evaluation of any existing restorations to ensure everything is healthy.
-
04Personalized Recommendations
We review our findings with you, discuss any areas of concern, and create a personalized care plan. This includes home care recommendations, scheduling for any needed treatment, and your next preventive visit.
Preventive Dentistry in Keller, TX questions, answered.
Tap a question to expand the answer.
How often should I get a cleaning?
Most adults need a cleaning every 6 months. If you have a history of gum disease, heavy plaque buildup, or a higher-risk medical condition (diabetes, immune issues), we may recommend every 3-4 months instead.
Are dental x-rays safe?
Yes. Modern digital x-rays use up to 90% less radiation than the film x-rays of 20 years ago. A full set of dental x-rays is roughly equivalent to a few days of background radiation from everyday life.
What's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning (prophy) removes plaque and tartar above the gumline - for healthy mouths. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes buildup below the gumline and is needed when gum disease has caused pockets to form. Your dentist will let you know which you need.
Do you accept my insurance?
We're in-network with most major PPO carriers - Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and more. See the full list →
My gums bleed when I brush - should I be worried?
Bleeding gums are an early sign of gingivitis (the first stage of gum disease) and are reversible with consistent care. If you've noticed bleeding for more than a couple of weeks, book a visit - we'll assess and put together a plan.
What's included in the $179 New Patient Special?
The $179 New Patient Special includes a comprehensive exam by Dr. Brijesh Patel or Dr. Priyaben Patel, a full set of digital x-rays, and a professional hygiene cleaning - everything you need to get started. It's our way of making your first visit simple and affordable. See the full details →
Do you have a membership plan if I don't have insurance?
Yes - our in-house membership plan gives you two cleanings, exams, and x-rays per year plus discounts on treatments, all for a simple annual fee. It's designed for patients without dental insurance who want predictable, affordable care. Ask our team about current membership pricing when you call (817) 431-6995.
My child is anxious about dental visits. Can you help?
Absolutely. Dr. Brijesh Patel and Dr. Priyaben Patel both have experience with anxious children and use a calm, explain-show-do approach that builds trust at every visit. We're gentle, we go at the child's pace, and we never shame or rush. Nitrous oxide is available for children who need extra help relaxing.
