Since opening in December 2020, Stonehaven Dental & Orthodontics has offered a wide variety of dental care to Burleson. From general cleanings to implants and dentures and even cosmetic dentistry, Stonehaven strives to be a one-stop-shop for oral work. “Patients want to come to a place where they can just get their dentistry done without having to bounce around to several offices, call to see if they take their insurance and then try to coordinate everything between multiple providers,” Dr. Charles Town empathized. “It can be really stressful for the patient.”
The team at Stonehaven went through extra training, so they could meet as many of their patients’ needs as possible. They have even partnered with an orthodontist, who comes into the office to do any orthodontic work needed. “The more resources we can have available to our patients, the better and more pleasant their experience will be,” Dr. Town explained.
Stonehaven provides care for the whole family. “We see patients from 6 months of age all the way up to as old as you can be,” Dr. Town said. For patients 6 months to 3 years old, they conduct visual exams to confirm the teeth are healthy, as well as give guidance to the parents. They instruct parents how to brush their children’s baby teeth and ensure an understanding of nutrition to keep the kids’ baby teeth healthy and strong. “I don’t fault any parent who doesn’t know. My own mom was busy taking care of my sister and me on a single parent income, so she didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to be sleeping with a bottle at night.”
“Dentistry has been a part of my life since I was little,” Dr. Town stated. Because he had slept with a bottle, the sugar in the milk ended up decaying his baby teeth, forcing him to need silver caps on them. As a teenager, he had to wear braces for four years to correct his severe underbite. When that didn’t work, he had to undergo reconstructive surgery to fix it. “My jaw was so far forward I couldn’t chew properly. I was getting TMJ headaches, and I wasn’t confident about my smile at all.” Due to his experience, he decided to pursue dentistry in hopes of helping people avoid the pain he had to go through and restoring their confidence in their own smiles.
“The more resources we can have available to our patients, the better and more pleasant their experience will be.”
Dr. Town understands that making regular dental appointments isn’t always a priority for people. Some people who come through the doors haven’t been to the dentist in years, if ever. “Every other day, we see a patient who has never been to the dentist.” The staff at Stonehaven works to educate patients on their dental health in a judgement-free environment, so they can prevent any existing conditions from escalating.
“We want everyone to feel comfortable,” Dr. Town said. “Everyone is usually nervous. Maybe they have a bad history. The mouth is a very personal area, and someone you don’t know yet is about to look into it.” The staff members strive to create a relaxed environment for patients. Along with being equipped with state-of-the-art technology, Stonehaven’s Burleson location offers high-tech dental chairs with massage and heating features for patients to use. What’s even more impressive is the staff’s capability. “We go above and beyond. We are not satisfied with mediocre,” he expressed. “We want to do the best for everyone, and we are always going to push for that.”
