General

What are your office hours?

We're open Monday–Thursday from 8:30am to 5:30pm, plus one Friday a month from 9am to 1pm. We're closed the rest of Fridays, as well as Saturday and Sunday.

Where is your office located?

We're at 1010 N Elm St, Ste A, Denton, TX 76201. Get directions.

Are you currently accepting new patients?

Yes! We're always happy to welcome new patients and their families to Berger Dental.

Is Berger Dental part of a corporate dental chain?

No — Berger Dental is a privately owned, independently operated local practice. We're not part of a corporate dental group, so decisions about your care are made by your dentist, not a corporate office.

Do you treat children and families?

Yes, we welcome patients of all ages and are proud to have cared for generations of Denton families.

Do you see UNT or TWU students?

Yes! We're proud to care for students, faculty, and staff from the University of North Texas, Texas Woman's University, and North Central Texas College, right alongside our longtime Denton families.

Do you see patients from outside Denton?

Absolutely — alongside our Denton families, we welcome patients from Krum, Ponder, Corinth, Sanger, Argyle, Aubrey, Pilot Point, Justin, and the lake-area communities of Hickory Creek, Lake Dallas, and Shady Shores. Wherever you're driving in from, we're glad to have you.

Do you see patients from Krum and Ponder?

Yes — we're a short, easy drive from both Krum and Ponder, and we're happy to welcome new patients from either town. Many of our longtime patients make that same drive for our honest, unhurried approach to care.

Insurance & Payment

Do you accept my dental insurance?

We accept all major PPO insurance plans as an out-of-network provider. We'll give you a clear, upfront estimate of what your plan may cover and handle the claims paperwork for you. Visit our New Patients page for the full in-network vs. out-of-network breakdown.

What if I don't have dental insurance?

We offer flexible financing through Cherry and CareCredit, an in-house Smile Savings Plan, and a courtesy discount for payment in full by cash or check. confirm details

Will I know my costs before treatment begins?

Yes — we always provide a clear estimate before any treatment, so there are no surprise bills.

New Patients & Emergencies

What should I expect at my first visit?

We'll review your health history and goals, complete a comprehensive exam with Dr. Berger or Dr. Hussain, walk through your insurance and costs with Donna & Jennifer, and send you home with a clear treatment plan. See the full New Patient Guide.

Do you see dental emergencies?

Yes — we make every effort to see emergency patients the same day for toothaches, breaks, lost fillings or crowns, and other can't-wait moments.

Do you perform root canals?

Yes — root canal therapy is one of the procedures we perform most often. If a tooth is infected, abscessed, or causing persistent pain, we can usually get you in quickly to relieve the pain and save the natural tooth.

Do you offer cosmetic dentistry and Invisalign?

Yes. We offer porcelain veneers, whitening, bonding, full smile makeovers, dental implants, and Invisalign clear aligners. Visit our Services page or Our Team to learn more.
