Convenient Access from Timberglen
Morning jaw soreness, worn-down teeth or a molar that suddenly cracks are good reasons to find a dentist near Timberglen who looks at the whole picture. Champion Dental is in Farmers Branch, roughly 16 minutes south of the Timberglen Recreation Center. Dr. Omar Alswaiti brings training tied to jaw discomfort and sleep-related concerns, alongside everyday cleanings and repairs.
Leave the recreation center on Timberglen Road and head west to Marsh Lane, then turn onto Frankford Road. Take the President George Bush Turnpike west for a short stretch and exit at Josey Lane. From there, Josey Lane carries you south through Carrollton for about 4.5 miles to Valley View Lane, where a left turn brings you to 2936 Valley View Ln, Farmers Branch, TX 75234, about 0.1 mi from the corner.

A Dental Home That Fits the Timberglen Routine
Timberglen sits in Far North Dallas, in the part of the city that reaches into Denton County near the Carrollton line.

Many residents commute by car, so an office with simple directions matters.
The neighborhood's center is Timberglen Park.

Nearby, the Timberglen Branch Library on Midway Road opened in 2007 and has a large children's collection, a basketball court and soccer fields outside.

Grinding, Clenching and Jaw Strain: What Timberglen Residents Should Know
Many adults grind or clench their teeth at night without knowing it. The first clues are often sore jaw muscles on waking, headaches near the temples, chipped edges or teeth that suddenly feel sensitive. Over time, grinding can flatten enamel, crack teeth and damage fillings or crowns.
Catching the habit early protects the work you already have. A crown or filling that keeps chipping is often a sign of nighttime pressure rather than a weak restoration. Digital x-rays and an intra-oral camera help us show you the wear pattern, so the recommendation is easy to follow. Protecting teeth now is usually simpler than rebuilding them later.
Jaw clicking, tightness and trouble opening wide can come from the same habits, or from the joints themselves. Champion Dental evaluates how your teeth, bite, jaw joints and nighttime habits may be contributing, then explains what it means. Some popping without discomfort needs nothing more than monitoring.
Grinding sometimes shows up alongside sleep-disordered breathing. Champion Dental does not take the place of a physician for sleep apnea. After a physician's diagnosis, a custom oral appliance may be recommended for some patients, and Dr. Alswaiti coordinates that care with your medical provider.
Jaw, Sleep and Tooth Care from a Dentist Near Timberglen
Sleep Apnea & TMJ
Evaluations look at the jaw joints, chewing muscles, bite and airway together. Depending on what we find, a custom orthotic appliance may be recommended for jaw concerns, or an oral appliance after a physician's sleep apnea diagnosis.
Endodontic Services
A crack or deep decay can let infection reach the pulp inside a tooth. Root canal treatment removes the damaged tissue and seals the canals, often saving a tooth that grinding has stressed for years.
Preventive Dentistry
Regular exams track wear patterns that point to grinding, along with cavities and gum changes. Timberglen patients who keep up with cleanings give us the chance to spot small cracks early. Custom nightguards protect enamel from nighttime grinding.
Restorative Dentistry
Crowns, tooth-colored fillings and bonding rebuild teeth that wear, fractures or decay have weakened. Restoring a tooth's shape also helps the bite come together evenly again.
Meet Dr. Alswaiti
Dr. Omar Alswaiti completed his residency at Tufts University, where his training connected to orofacial discomfort and sleep apnea. His approach considers how your bite, jaw, airway and oral health work together. That matters when a sore jaw and a cracked tooth share the same cause.
Insurance, Membership & Financing
If you do not carry dental insurance, the Champion Dental Membership Plan is a straightforward way to stay current on preventive care. For bigger treatment, flexible financing options can turn costs into a payment plan that suits your budget. We also accept most major dental insurance plans.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Champion Dental from Timberglen, and how do I get there?
It is about 7.9 miles from the Timberglen Recreation Center to Champion Dental, around 16 minutes by car. The usual route takes Frankford Road to the President George Bush Turnpike, then Josey Lane south to Valley View Lane. If you need a dentist near Timberglen, the drive is simple, with most of it on one road.
Do I need a nightguard if I grind my teeth?
A custom nightguard is often recommended if grinding is wearing, chipping or cracking your teeth. It sits between the upper and lower teeth while you sleep and absorbs the force that would otherwise land on enamel and dental work. Because grinding can be linked to other concerns, Dr. Alswaiti checks your bite and jaw before recommending one.
What happens during a jaw or TMJ evaluation?
A jaw evaluation is a careful exam of your teeth, bite, jaw joints and chewing muscles. Dr. Alswaiti asks about clicking, locking, morning soreness, headaches and grinding habits, and checks how far and how smoothly your jaw opens. Imaging may be used when helpful. You leave with a clear explanation of possible causes and next steps.
What is an orthotic appliance, and who might need one?
An orthotic appliance is a custom device built around your bite to address jaw concerns. It may be recommended when clenching, grinding or muscle strain contributes to jaw discomfort. Unlike an over-the-counter guard, it is designed for your specific teeth and treatment goals. It is different from the oral appliance some patients receive after a physician confirms sleep apnea.
Does a cracked tooth need a root canal or an extraction?
It depends on where the crack runs and how deep it goes. A crack that reaches the pulp but stays above the gumline can often be saved with a root canal and a crown. A crack that splits the root usually means the tooth must be removed. An exam and x-rays show which situation you have.
