Welcome to Leatherwood Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. Our family dental practice is committed to providing high-quality dental care that every patient deserves. In our Denton, TX dentist office, we take a comprehensive approach to dentistry that supports oral health as well as overall health.

We say that patients who have a healthy mouth have a healthy life. Common dental problems like cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease can impact speech, the fit of the bite, and even heart health. Addressing these problems early prevents oral health issues from developing further.

Whether youre visiting our office for the first time or you are a patient returning after some time, we are here to help. Our dental team helps patients improve and maintain their dental health in a warm and welcoming office environment. Dr. Leatherwood and her team work with patients to evaluate their oral health and address underlying concerns. No matter the age, we can assist parents and their children or more mature patients in keeping their smiles clean and healthy.

We emphasize the importance of dental care in early childhood and recommend that parents bring their children to the dentist after their baby teeth first emerge. Caring for these primary teeth can prevent future problems like tooth decay or gum disease. Our office also provides restorative and cosmetic care for older patients. As we age, we can find ourselves in need of treatments for discolored, damaged, or even missing teeth.

We want to change the way patients feel about visiting the dentist. Dr. Leatherwood and her team take the time to make sure that patients understand their dental treatment options thoroughly. Patient education can help patients with dental fear or anxiety feel more comfortable in our care.

We know that it can be difficult for some patients to visit the dentist, which is why we take the time to discuss the concerns of each patient. Our dental team has extensive training in caring for patients of all ages. Our team always makes sure that patients feel welcomed to our office by accommodating their needs.

For patients with dental fear or anxiety, we offer dental sedation. Nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and oral conscious sedation allow patients to feel completely relaxed during their dental procedures. Even patients who do not have dental anxiety benefit from dental sedation. All of our patients deserve to live with beautiful and healthy smiles. Overcoming dental fear and anxiety with the aid of sedation and education can make that possible.

Dental technology helps dentists better understand each individual patients dental problems and share findings with surgeons and specialists. Some of the most modern methods that are used to diagnose and treat patients are:

Id like to welcome you to Leatherwood Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. I am the hometown dentist and was raised in Denton, TX. My office is down the street from my elementary school and my 5th-grade art teacher happens to be a patient! I am back in Denton and so grateful to be able to care for the community that I was raised in and for the opportunity to give back.

I attended the Goldman School of Dental Medicine at Boston University, and graduated with honors, before going on to serve a general practice residency at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. This program was incredibly challenging and rewarding and helped me begin to think about dentistry in a holistic and comprehensive manner; which we are not taught in dental school.

I opened my dental practice in Denton, TX, and am thrilled to be able to provide compassionate dental care to patients looking to improve their oral and overall health. My absolute favorite part of the job is building relationships with the patients I treat, and restoring their smiles that build self-esteem and confidence while returning to normal function. I have been given a unique opportunity to improve patients lives by helping their joy shine through their smiles.

Hi, my name is Jacquie. In 2004 I graduated from the Youngstown State University Dental Hygiene program and then spent 10 years working mainly in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. In 2014, I got married & relocated to Texas for my husbands career. I was blessed to join the Leatherwood team as a hygienist in January 2015. Dr. Leatherwood & all the staff here quickly became family to me. I enjoy working with them all so much, as well as getting to know all of our sweet patients.

We have since welcomed 2 adorable boys, Silas and Ezra. They have 2 older puppy sisters, Jersey & Marlowe. When not at work, I love to just be home enjoying my family, get outside (whenever its not too hot) & travel as much as possible!

Hello, Im Leslie. I have lived in the DFW area for over 35 years. I am very thankful to have an incredible husband and two boys. I started working at Leatherwood Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in January 2014, and I absolutely love it! My favorite part of my job is spending my day with our work family and getting to know and love our amazing patients.

Payton and her husband are raising a sweet little one, Jackson, who has a smile as bright as Moms. They ride cross country dirt bikes together as a family and Jackson is going to give mom a run for her money soon on the track. When she is not on the track or in the office she can be found teaching CrossFit and encouraging others to reach their health goals.
