Convenient Access from Quinlan
State Highway 34 runs north out of town toward Greenville, and following it brings you to Stone Street Dental in about 26 minutes. Our office is on Stonewall St in Greenville, and families who want a dentist in Quinlan, TX with everything under one roof make the trip for checkups, root canals, crowns, whitening and urgent care. Dr. Alison Garrad sees children from age 10 as well as adults of every age.
Starting from Quinlan Community Park, take the park drive out to Clardy Drive, turn right on East Kirby Avenue, and then turn left onto SH 34. Inside town the highway doubles as Business SH 276. Head north for close to eight miles to Cash, where the road picks up FM 1564 and keeps running straight toward Greenville.
About seven miles past Cash, turn right onto Joe Ramsey Boulevard East, the loop shared by US 69 and US 380, and bear left onto Stonewall Street a moment later. You will arrive at 4613 Stonewall St, Greenville, TX 75401 after 15.8 miles, with no tolls. Before you go, find us on Google Maps and save the pin.
Leaving from elsewhere in town works just as well: the community library and museum center on Panther Path and City Hall at 105 West Main Street make equally good starting points. Patients from Cash, which sits right on your route, and from Caddo Mills also visit our office. Expect a few extra minutes at rush hour.
Serving Quinlan Patients from a Practice Up the Highway
The town began in 1892, when railroad president Edward Green moved his Texas Midland depot a mile and a half north of the older settlement of Roberts. The new town took the name of George Austin Quinlan, a Houston and Texas Central Railway executive, and a post office followed in 1894. For decades it served as a cotton and retail center for southern Hunt County and its neighbors across the county lines.
Today the town counts about 1,400 residents, based on the 2020 census, and it draws on a far larger area. The City of Quinlan website covers local services and council news. The school district alone covers 152 square miles and also serves West Tawakoni, Hawk Cove and Union Valley, and many residents face a long daily commute.
A long workday leaves little room for errands, which is why we keep the office schedule simple. We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and closed on Wednesday and the weekend. The town also sits where SH 276 crosses SH 34; that road heads east across the lake toward Emory and west toward Rockwall. An early slot lets a commuter finish a cleaning and still head to work on SH 34.
Our staff has been together for years and brings over 15 years of combined experience. When you call, you will hear people who know the drive up SH 34 and can suggest an appointment that fits it. That familiarity makes a 26-minute trip feel a lot shorter.
Lake Country Smiles: Dental Priorities Around Quinlan
Lake Tawakoni lies a few miles east of town, and the growth that followed the lake from the mid-1960s on shaped modern Quinlan. The community today spans every generation. Close to one resident in five is 65 or older, while just under a quarter are children.
That range means our patients from town bring very different needs. Grandparents may want a sturdy crown on a cracked molar or a plan to replace a missing tooth. Parents often want a brighter smile after years of coffee, while students need routine checkups and the occasional repair after a ball game.
Restorative work is where we see the most variety. A tooth with a deep cavity or a crack that reaches the nerve can often be saved with root canal therapy followed by a crown, and our CBCT 3D imaging gives Dr. Garrad a clear view of the roots before she begins. Saving a natural tooth is usually simpler than replacing it.
Weekend accidents happen too, whether on the water at Lake Tawakoni State Park or on a backyard trampoline. Since we are closed on weekends, call first thing Monday morning. We make every effort to see you the same day you call, and the sooner we hear about a broken tooth, the more options we have.
Cosmetic goals deserve a mention as well. Professional Opalescence teeth whitening lifts stains left by coffee, tea and everyday meals. Many patients choose to whiten after a cleaning, once the surface is fresh.
Gum health matters more with every decade. Bleeding while brushing or gums that seem to be pulling back are early warning signs, and catching them at a routine visit keeps treatment simple. For patients with crowns, bridges or implants, healthy gums are what keep that work stable.
Anxious patients can choose nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation. Either option makes a longer restorative visit easier to sit through.
