A Dental Office Worth the Short Drive from Timberland Estates
Timberland Estates is a single-family subdivision inside Fort Worth city limits, registered with the city as a neighborhood association and listed among the city's far north neighborhoods. It lies east of Park Vista Boulevard and south of Keller Haslet Road, with the Alliance Gateway Freeway (SH 170) about a mile to the north. The City of Keller begins just beyond its eastern edge.
The name causes some mix-ups. Timberland Boulevard and Timber Creek High School are in the Villages of Woodland Springs, roughly two miles west, not in this neighborhood. An apartment complex with a similar name on North Riverside Drive is unrelated as well.
Neighborhood life is about to gain a new gathering place. The city is building Timberland Park at 4400 Keller Haslet Road, with a first phase of playground and trail work listed for completion in January 2027. Residents asked the city for family gathering space and child-focused play, which says a lot about who lives here.
Living on the edge of two cities has practical upsides. Keller begins just across the city line, yet the neighborhood remains part of Fort Worth, with city services such as the nearby fire station on Park Vista Boulevard. For dental care, it means patients can choose the office that suits them best rather than by which side of the city line they live on.
Making Every Trip Count for Timberland Families
At 11 minutes each way, a dental visit from Timberland is close but not quite around the corner. That makes it worth choosing an office that can finish more in one appointment. Same-day crowns are the clearest example: Dr. Cross scans the tooth, mills the crown in the office with Glidewell IO and places it before you leave.
Fewer return trips also come from catching problems early. Regular cleanings and exams, supported by AI-assisted x-rays, help Dr. Cross find small issues while they still need only a small repair. A filling caught today saves a longer visit, and another drive, later on.
Comfort is part of making the trip worthwhile. Dr. Cross slows down, explains the reason behind each recommendation and checks in throughout every procedure. Cozy blankets, neck pillows and TV entertainment are available during visits, and conscious sedation is an option for patients with significant anxiety.
Busy family schedules make urgent problems harder to manage. When a tooth breaks or a toothache will not settle, the practice offers same-day emergency care for urgent needs. New patients can begin with a $49 emergency exam and x-ray that covers a focused exam, any necessary x-rays and treatment recommendations.
The neighborhood is in Keller ISD and Tarrant County, and the shops of the Alliance corridor sit just beyond the office. That means a check-up can easily share a trip with errands near Heritage Trace Pkwy.
Where a Dentist Near Timberland Can Help Most
Preventive Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and x-rays form the base of every plan. Keeping them on schedule is the easiest way for Timberland households to avoid longer, costlier visits.
Same-Day Crowns
Digital scanning and in-office milling mean a damaged tooth can be crowned in a single appointment. No temporary crown, and no second drive down Park Vista Boulevard.

Clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires. Dr. Cross is a Diamond Invisalign® Provider, and digital scans replace the old impression trays at the start of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Heritage Trace Dental from Timberland, and how do I get there?
The office is roughly 4.8 miles from Cedar Hollow Drive, about 11 minutes by car. Head west on Pangolin Drive and Park Vista Boulevard, then take Keller Hicks Road west, North Beach Street south and Heritage Trace Pkwy west. That makes Heritage Trace Dental a practical dentist near Timberland with no freeway on the way.
Can adults get Invisalign at your office?
Yes. Many adults choose Invisalign because the clear aligners are hard to notice and come out for meals and brushing. Dr. Cross is a Diamond Invisalign® Provider, and treatment starts with a digital scan instead of impression trays. Members of the in-house plan also receive a $500 discount on Invisalign treatment.
What should I do if I break a tooth?
Call the office right away and describe what happened. Rinse your mouth gently with warm water, save any broken pieces and avoid chewing on that side. The practice offers same-day emergency care for urgent needs like a broken tooth, and new patients can start with the $49 emergency exam and x-ray.
Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding gums are most often a sign of irritation from plaque along the gumline, and they can be an early sign of gum disease. A cleaning and exam show what is causing it. The office also uses a diode laser for gum tissue concerns, and Dr. Cross explains whether any treatment beyond better daily care is needed.
How do I know if a tooth needs a crown or just a filling?
It depends on how much healthy tooth is left. A small cavity can usually be repaired with a filling, while a tooth with a large old filling, a crack or a root canal often needs a crown to stay strong. Dr. Cross shows you the x-rays and explains which repair fits before you decide.
