Garland, since 2022
The Dentists Behind the Garland Office
Dr. Darshan Patel and Dr. John Paul are Garland natives who founded Inspire Dental & Orthodontics in 2017 and opened this Garland office in 2022. Dr. Paul was named a D Magazine Best Dentist in 2026. Their familiarity with the city shaped how the office operates: evening and Saturday appointments for parents working weekdays, Medicaid and CHIP taken as a matter of course, and a bilingual clinical team.
What we offer here:
Preventive care for kids and adults, from first visits to cleanings
Same-day emergency exams, including extractions when a tooth cannot be saved
Braces and Invisalign from our board-certified orthodontist, in this building
Bilingual care from an English and Spanish speaking team
Medicaid, CHIP, and most PPO plans accepted, with in-house payment plans
Braces and Invisalign for kids, teens, and adults, treated in Garland by our board-certified orthodontist. Book a free, no-obligation consult. For patients under 21, Texas Medicaid can cover braces when the state finds treatment medically necessary, which is decided case by case.
Toothache keeping you up, a cracked tooth, or swelling along your jaw? Call our Garland office at (469) 329-1069 as early in the day as you can. We hold time every day on W Centerville Rd for urgent visits, so same-day care is usually possible for kids and adults.
Before you head over
Call first. It lets us have a room and a dentist ready, and the front desk can check your Medicaid, CHIP or PPO coverage while you drive.
Knocked-out adult tooth: pick it up by the crown, not the root, keep it in milk and come in right away. Minutes matter here.
Broken tooth or loose crown: put the pieces or the crown in a clean bag and bring them with you.
Bad pain: an over-the-counter pain reliever taken as the label directs can take the edge off. Don't hold an aspirin against the gum, because it burns the tissue.
Swelling that spreads toward your eye or neck, or makes it hard to swallow or breathe, needs the nearest emergency room first. Then call us for the dental follow-up.
Emergencies we treat in Garland
Severe toothache. Usually a deep cavity or an infected nerve, and a root canal in Garland can often save the tooth.
Broken or cracked teeth. Bonding handles small chips. When more of the tooth is gone, a dental crown protects what's left.
Abscess or swelling. We find the source and start treating the infection the same day when we can.
Kids' emergencies. Chipped baby teeth and playground falls go to a team that's used to nervous kids. Meet our pediatric dentist in Garland.
Garland hours: Tuesday to Thursday 10 AM to 6 PM, Friday 9 AM to 5 PM, plus alternating Mondays and Saturdays. ¿Prefiere español? Vea nuestra página de dentista de emergencia en Garland.

Most new Garland patients start with the $69 exam and X-rays. It takes about an hour, and you leave knowing exactly what your mouth needs and what it will cost.
If your kid plays a contact sport, ask about a custom mouthguard before the season. The boil-and-bite ones fit loosely enough that players quietly take them out.

Common questions about insurance, hours, emergencies, and pricing at our Garland office.
Do you accept Medicaid and CHIP at the Garland office?
Yes. We take Texas Medicaid and CHIP for children and adults, plus most major PPO plans, and we file the claim for you. If you are not sure your plan is in network, call (469) 329-1069 and the front desk will verify it while you are on the phone.
Can I be seen the same day for a toothache or a broken tooth?
Usually, yes. We hold time each day at the Garland office for urgent visits. Call (469) 329-1069 early if you can. Spreading swelling, a knocked-out permanent tooth, or pain that keeps you awake should be called in right away rather than left until tomorrow.
Is there an orthodontist at the Garland office, or do I get referred out?
Our board-certified orthodontist treats patients here, so braces and Invisalign happen in the same building as your cleanings and your child's checkups. Braces start at $3,499 and the consult is free with no obligation.
How old should my child be for a first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age one, or within six months of the first tooth. Early visits are short and mostly about getting a child comfortable in the chair. Our Garland office has an arcade, which helps more than most parents expect.
Where is the Garland office and is parking free?
930 W Centerville Rd, Ste A, Garland, TX 75041, just west of Broadway Blvd and a short drive from I-635. Parking is free and directly in front of the office.
Is the Garland team bilingual?
Yes. Our front desk, assistants and doctors include Spanish speakers, so families are never relying on a child to translate a treatment plan. Tenemos personal que habla español en todo el consultorio.
Your Smile Starts Here. Serving Mesquite, Garland and Balch Springs.
