Finding a dentist in Sachse that has room for your whole family — and can actually see you when you need to come in — shouldn’t be this hard. At Thrive Dental & Orthodontics on the corner of Highway 78 and Woodbridge Parkway, we offer same-day appointments for new patients, including same-day cleanings when our schedule allows. Call us or book online and we’ll do everything we can to get you in today.
We’re a full-service general dentistry practice — cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, gum disease treatment, and more — with orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry under the same roof. Our general dentistry team includes Dr. Flor Navarro and Dr. Estefany Montelongo, supported by experienced hygienists who take the time to do the job right without rushing you out of the chair.
We’re directly across from Walmart at 7900 Woodbridge Pkwy. Get directions. Book online or call (469) 649-1101.
We know life doesn’t always give you time to plan a dental appointment weeks in advance. That’s why we reserve availability for same-day appointments at our Sachse office — for both existing patients and new patients who haven’t been in before.
Whether you have a toothache that came on overnight, you’ve been putting off your cleaning for too long, or you just moved to Sachse and need to find a new dental home, call us in the morning and we’ll do everything we can to get you in that same day. You can also book online any time — our online scheduling shows real-time availability so you can find the earliest open slot without having to call.
Same-day cleanings are available subject to hygienist availability — call us directly for the fastest answer on same-day cleaning slots.
Every operatory at our Sachse office has two TVs — one above you and one at eye level — with Netflix available during your appointment. Pick something you want to watch while your hygienist cleans your teeth or your dentist works on a filling. It’s a small thing that makes a significant difference in how the appointment feels. Patients consistently tell us the visit passed faster than they expected.
We’ve built our schedule to give hygienists the time they need to do thorough work. That means you’re not rushed through a cleaning so the next patient can come in. Your hygienist checks in with you, explains what they’re finding, answers your questions, and takes the time to clean the areas that need it rather than moving through a fixed routine regardless of what your mouth needs. At the end of your appointment, our front desk team reviews your insurance with you — what was used today, what’s left in your annual maximum, and what treatment you might want to schedule before your benefits reset.
Help yourself to coffee or water while you wait. Our waiting area is a comfortable space designed to feel nothing like the sterile, anxious environments most people associate with dentist offices. Parents with children have the added benefit of our kids’ lounge — with video games and cartoons to keep little ones genuinely entertained while adults are in their appointments.
Every new patient at Thrive Sachse receives complimentary custom whitening trays — professionally made from a mold of your own teeth, paired with professional-strength whitening gel. It’s included with your new patient visit at no charge. For patients who want faster results, we also offer Zoom in-office whitening — results in about an hour.
When prescriptions are needed — after a procedure, for an infection, for post-extraction pain management — the Walmart Supercenter pharmacy directly across Woodbridge Parkway means your medication is filled within minutes of leaving our office. For patients dealing with pain or infection, that proximity genuinely matters.
If you’re a new patient, here’s what to expect:
Your first visit begins with a comprehensive new patient exam — X-rays, a full clinical evaluation of your teeth and gums, an oral cancer screening, and a thorough discussion of your dental health history and any concerns you have. If you’re due for a cleaning and our schedule allows, we’ll do it the same day as your exam. You’ll receive your complimentary custom whitening trays before you leave.
Our front desk team will review your insurance benefits with you so you leave knowing exactly what was covered today and what’s available for future treatment. If you need restorative work, we’ll walk you through the options and costs clearly — no surprise bills, no pressure.
Bring your insurance card, a photo ID, and any dental records or recent X-rays from your previous dentist if you have them. Arriving 10 minutes early to complete new patient paperwork helps the appointment run smoothly. And if you’d like to book online, you can do that any time at our Sachse booking page — no phone call required.
Every general dentistry service your family needs is available in-house. Here’s a complete picture of what we offer:
Professional dental cleanings and exams are the foundation of everything we do. The American Dental Association recommends Twice-yearly cleanings remove the tartar buildup that no amount of home brushing addresses, screen for developing cavities, assess gum health, and catch small problems before they become expensive ones. We try to offer same-day cleaning appointments when availability allows — call or book online to check.
At each cleaning, your dentist performs a comprehensive exam including an oral cancer screening, bite assessment, and review of any existing restorations. Our digital X-rays — taken at appropriate intervals — use significantly less radiation than traditional film and produce clearer, more detailed images your dentist can review with you immediately on screen.
When a cavity is found, we treat it promptly with tooth-colored composite fillings that match your natural tooth color. No silver amalgam — the resin material bonds directly to tooth structure, requires less removal of healthy tooth, and is completely natural-looking. Filling appointments are typically quick and comfortable with local anesthetic, and Netflix in the treatment room makes the time pass easily.
When a tooth has significant decay, a large old filling, a crack, or needs protection after a root canal, a dental crown restores it fully. We use digital scanning instead of goopy impressions at our Sachse office, and we partner with high-quality dental labs for Emax and Zirconia crowns that look completely natural and last. See our full Sachse dental crowns page for complete details.
We perform the majority of root canals in-house at our Sachse office rather than referring to a specialist — which means significantly lower cost for patients and no waiting for a specialist appointment. Our team handles most root canal cases comfortably and effectively, and for the rare truly complex case, we coordinate within our Thrive network. The Walmart pharmacy across the street means your post-procedure prescription is filled before you’re home. See our full Sachse root canal page for details.
Routine dental extractions and most wisdom tooth cases are handled in-house at Sachse. Nitrous oxide is available for patients who want to take the edge off. We offer bone grafting at the time of extraction to preserve your jaw for future restoration, and we prescribe pain medication and antibiotics as needed. For more complex cases, we coordinate within our Thrive network. See our full Sachse tooth extraction page for complete details.
Periodontal therapy — from early gingivitis to more advanced gum disease requiring deep cleanings — is handled at our Sachse office. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and is closely linked to systemic health conditions including heart disease and diabetes. Our hygiene team monitors gum health at every visit and intervenes early when signs of inflammation develop. A deep dental cleaning performed at the right time can stop disease progression before it causes permanent bone loss.
Dental emergencies — severe toothache, broken tooth, dental abscess, knocked-out tooth — are seen same day whenever possible at our Sachse office. We perform emergency root canals and extractions in-house, prescribe antibiotics and pain medication as clinically indicated, and the Walmart pharmacy across the street means you have your prescription filled immediately. Call us at (469) 649-1101 the moment a dental emergency happens. See our full Sachse emergency dental care page for what to do in specific situations.
We welcome children starting from six months old. Our children’s dental care at Sachse is built around making kids genuinely comfortable — kids’ Netflix in the treatment room during procedures, nitrous oxide available for anxious children, and a free toy after every visit. Siblings waiting in our kids’ lounge have video games and cartoons to keep them busy. See our full Sachse children’s dentist page for complete details on our pediatric approach.
Teeth whitening, dental veneers, and dental crowns for cosmetic restoration are all available at our Sachse location. We use diagnostic wax-ups so patients can see exactly what their smile transformation will look like before committing to any irreversible treatment. All new patients receive complimentary custom whitening trays. See our full Sachse cosmetic dentistry page for details.
Braces and Invisalign are available at our Sachse office through our orthodontic team. Free consultations are available — no commitment, no pressure, just a clear picture of your options. Because general dentistry and orthodontics are under the same roof, your overall dental health is always considered together rather than in silos.
We accept 18+ PPO dental insurance plans at our Sachse location including Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Guardian, and many others. We also accept Texas Medicaid (TMHP) and MCNA for children’s dental services — call ahead to confirm specific coverage.
Our team verifies your benefits before your appointment and reviews them with you after — so you always know what was covered and what’s remaining in your annual maximum before you leave.
For patients without dental insurance, our Healthy Smiles Discount Plan at $89/year includes two cleanings and exams per year at no additional charge, plus 20% off all other services. Additional family members are $49/year each. With no waiting periods, no annual maximums, and no claim forms, it’s the most straightforward dental savings option available for Sachse patients without coverage. Visit our insurance page for the complete carrier list.

We do our best to accommodate same-day cleaning requests when hygienist availability allows. Call us directly in the morning for the best chance of a same-day cleaning slot. Online booking also shows real-time availability.
You’re not alone and there’s no judgment here. We see patients returning after long gaps regularly. We’ll do a comprehensive exam to assess where things stand, prioritize any concerns, and build a realistic plan to get your oral health back on track at a pace that works for you and your budget.
Yes — and we take it seriously. Let us know when you book. Our team goes at your pace, explains everything before doing it, never rushes, and Netflix in the treatment room genuinely helps. For patients who need more support, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available for most procedures.
Your insurance card, a photo ID, and any recent X-rays or dental records from your previous dentist if you have them. If you don’t have recent X-rays, we’ll take them here using our digital system. Arrive 10 minutes early for new patient paperwork.
