Do you accept my insurance?

We accept most major dental insurance plans as well as Texas Medicaid and CHIP. Because plans differ so much, the fastest answer is a quick call to (817) 538-9888 with your card in hand — we'll verify your benefits and tell you what's covered before you come in.

What if I don't have dental insurance?

You're still welcome here. We quote uninsured fees up front in plain numbers, and patients consistently tell us our self-pay pricing is reasonable. For larger treatment plans we can often split the cost across visits so you're not paying everything at once.

Are you taking new patients?

Yes — new patients of every age are welcome, and we're usually able to get you in quickly. Call the office and we'll find a time that works, including Saturdays.

I'm nervous about the dentist. Can you work with that?

Absolutely, and you're not alone — several of our reviews come from people who described themselves as scared of the dentist. Tell us when you book. We'll go slower, explain each step before it happens, make sure you're fully numb and stop any time you need a break.

We do. Matlock Family Dental treats kids and adults in the same office, so families can book back-to-back appointments and handle everyone's checkups in one trip.

I have a toothache right now. What should I do?

Call us at (817) 538-9888 as early in the day as you can. Dental pain gets triaged ahead of routine visits, and we'll do our best to see you the same day and get you out of pain.

Where exactly are you located?

We're in Suite 201 at Matlock Oaks Crossing, 740 SW Green Oaks Blvd, at the corner of SW Green Oaks and Matlock Road in south Arlington. There's free surface parking, and the entrance and restroom are wheelchair accessible.

We take cash, credit and debit cards, and contactless mobile payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Why patients stay

A small practice that runs like one

No call centers, no rotating dentists, no upselling. The same person who examines you is the one who treats you — and he'll tell you when something can wait.

Open six days a week

Weekday appointments until 6:00 PM and Saturday hours until 3:00 PM, so care fits around work and school.

We actually answer the phone

Long-time patients say the same thing: someone picks up, and getting an appointment is easy.

Explained before it's done

Dr. Song walks through what he sees, what it will cost and what your options are — before any treatment starts.

Gentle with anxious patients

If the dentist makes you nervous, say so. We slow down, check in often and keep you comfortable throughout.

One office for the whole family

Children through seniors are treated here, so the whole family can be seen back-to-back in one trip.

Fully accessible

Wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance and restroom on site at Matlock Oaks Crossing.

Inside the practice

A small office, not a dental factory

Two treatment rooms, a front desk that knows your name and a waiting room you probably won't sit in for long.

Look for the blue tooth sign

We're in the Matlock Oaks Crossing strip on SW Green Oaks Blvd, with parking right out front.

Your dentist

Meet Dr. Seung Song, DDS

Dr. Seung Song has led Matlock Family Dental since 2017, treating everyone from first-visit toddlers to patients rebuilding a full arch. He reviews your history before you sit down, then asks the questions that chart can't answer.

What comes up again and again in his reviews is the explaining: what he sees, why it matters, what it costs, and what happens if you wait. Patients call him thorough, meticulous and gentle — including the ones who arrived dreading the appointment.

Insurance & payment

Cost shouldn't be the reason you put this off

Dental billing is confusing on purpose almost everywhere else. Here, you find out what your plan covers and what you owe before anyone picks up an instrument.

Verify my coverage

We accept

Credit cards
Debit cards
Apple Pay & Google Pay
Cash

Most major plans, plus Medicaid & CHIP

We're in-network with many of the plans Arlington employers offer, and we accept Texas Medicaid and CHIP for children and eligible adults. Call with your card and we'll verify your benefits before your visit.

Uninsured? You'll get a real number

Self-pay fees are quoted up front, itemized, and consistently described by our patients as reasonable. No surprise line items after the fact.

Larger treatment can be split up

When a treatment plan is bigger than one paycheck, ask. We can often stage the work and the payments so care doesn't get postponed indefinitely.
