If you don’t feel like you’re receiving the best care you deserve, call our office today!  817-292-5957

At Stovall and Cheng, we pride ourselves on giving you the best.  The best care, service, technology and dental work.  We welcome each patient with our New Patient Experience.  During your visit, a thorough exam will be performed, Digital x-rays will be taken, the new Visilite Oral Cancer Screening will be performed, you will see a Virtual Tour of all your teeth on our television while we explain everything you see and you will get a brief tour of our office so you get your bearings down.

If you’ve never experienced any of these technologies, you owe it to yourself to visit a practice that is modern and up-to-date.  Please click on the Welcome button at the top right of this page and see what our office has to offer.

At Stovall & Cheng, Patient care and comfort always comes first.  We provide TV’s in every room so that you can watch your favorite programming while in our dental chair.  Our options used to be limited with a basic channel line up but we now provide Direct TV so you can enjoy your favorite channel while we care for your mouth.

In addition to the gentle care we provide, many of our patients find that watching a television program during treatment is a nice distraction from any anxiety they may have.  If you do not enjoy watching television, we have a wide variety of magazines for your enjoyment.

Perhaps you need music to help take your mind off of things.  We have an iPod with a nice mix of music to help you relax. 

Our office is equipped with nitrous oxide for patients that have anxiety.  Nitrous oxide can help lessen anxiety during your dental procedure but will still allow you to leave our office under your own power.

If you are anxious about dental procedures, currently go to an out-of-date office or don’t feel like you are being taken care of like you should be, please call our office to experience our gentle, professional, up-to-date care.

At Stovall & Cheng, we are highly skilled at helping you maximize your dental insurance.  Whether you have limited time until your dental insurance ends, or you fear that you may be losing your insurance soon, or you simply just want to know what percentage your insurance covers on specific procedures, we can help. 

Dental insurance is a good benefit to have, but should not dictate your treatment.  Delaying treatment can lead to more problems down the road and will lead to more expense. 

Please don’t wait any longer!  Call today for an appointment at 817-292-5957.

At Stovall & Cheng, we pride ourselves on giving an honest opinion and recommending treatment.  Several times a week, patients come in for second opinions and we gladly take a look, get the intraoral camera and flash the tooth in question directly on to the TV in the room!  Imagine if you could SEE the problem for yourself!  It takes away doubt and fear and gives clarity to what needs to be done to fix the tooth.

There is no obligation to “become a patient” just because we look at your dental problem.  However, we are confident that once you visit our office and experience our excellent care, our genuine interest in your well-being and our state-of-the-art technology, you’ll want to stay and establish a life-long partnership with us to maintain your oral health.

Call us today at 817-292-5957!  We can get you in within a few days or many times, the same day!  We welcome emergencies and are always open to new patients.

With the economy in a downturn, we know there are times when affording the best dentistry may be more challenging.  That’s why we pride ourselves on providing you with the most up-to-date options of fitting the cost of the best dental work into your budget.

We also provide other options on fixing teeth to put you into a “holding pattern” until you can afford more expensive work. 

Whatever the situation is, our goal is providing you with the best care available.  That includes giving you you options, listening to what YOU want and what YOUR goals are and helping you find ways to afford the best possible dental care available.

The first step, though, is getting in the door!  We cannot help you if we haven’t assessed your situation yet. 

With our intraoral camera, you will see everything that we see.  The power in the camera for you, the patient, is that there is no “guesswork” on your part to figure out what we’re talking about.  A picture is worth a thousand words and once you get to see your teeth for yourself, you will be empowered with information.  Information about the current status of your teeth because it allows you to make informed decisions about your own teeth.  And don’t worry, we will guide you every step of the way and have your treatment completely planned and sequenced for you. 

By the time you leave you will know how much treatment will be and how many appointments it will take.

The time is now to improve your health!  Call today for an appointment!  817-292-2927

We call it a “look-see” appointment.  If you are a new patient to our practice that is seeking a second opinion, need a treatment estimate, or just want to come talk about a specific dental concern but are not ready to commit to our office yet, we provide a free visit called a “look-see” appointment.  This allows all parties involved to get acquainted with one another without making a commitment.  It is our belief that the more informed you are about the state of your dental health, the better choices you’ll make on your daily habits and what type of treatment you choose to have performed.  With digital x-rays and our intra-oral cameras, you’ll see exactly what we see!  How nice is that! 

How many times have you had your oil changed and the mechanic comes to you and says (with a dirty oil filter in hand): “Sir, you also need to have your oil filter changed today.”  Call me a cynic, but how do you really know that the dirty filter came from your car?  You don’t, unless you were there.  With our intra-oral camera, we take your eyes directly to the problem and you see what we see!  Rest assured, if we recommend treatment, you will SEE exactly why. 

If you, or any of your friends, family or co-workers have a dental problem or concern, please feel free to have them contact us at 817-292-5957 or email us at stovallchengdds@sbcglobal.net.  We’d love to get to know you better and help shed light on your condition!

Decayed, damaged, or missing teeth can mar your smile, decreasing your confidence and compromising your overall health. As experienced dentists, Dr. Stovall and Dr. Cheng offer a variety of restorative therapies and natural looking replacement teeth to renew dental vitality.

Composite resin fillings restore a tooth damaged by decay while letting you keep your all-white smile. When decay becomes severe or a tooth is cracked, a porcelain crown restores structural integrity and preserves beauty. We can mill your crown in about an hour with revolutionary CEREC in-office milling.

To replace missing teeth, we offer bridges, dentures, partials, and dental implants. Crooked smiles benefit from Invisalign clear aligners, which straighten teeth discreetly and efficiently, often in less than a year. With full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Stovall and Dr. Cheng return oral function and appearance to smiles needing comprehensive care.

After reviewing our restorative and replacement teeth options, call to schedule your appointment with Dr. Stovall or Dr. Cheng. Our convenient Fort Worth office serves residents of Crowley, Granbury, Weatherford, and surrounding areas.
