Convenient Access from Mineral Heights
Mineral Heights sits on the south side of Greenville, and Stone Street Dental is about 5 minutes north of it by way of Wesley Street. Families who want a dentist near Mineral Heights can bring a whole household to our single office on Stonewall St for checkups, fillings, sports injuries, wisdom-tooth questions and clear aligners. Dr. Alison K. Garrad sees patients from age 10, so a high school sophomore and a parent can share one appointment day.
Start in front of Greenville High School at 3515 Lions Lair Rd. Follow Lions Lair Road off campus until the name changes to Terrell Road, then continue east to Wesley Street, which carries State Highway 34. Turn left and travel north for roughly a mile, then turn right onto Joe Ramsey Boulevard, the stretch shared by US 69 and US 380.
Stay on Joe Ramsey for just one block and turn left onto Stonewall Street. Our office is about 0.2 mile up, at 4613 Stonewall St, Greenville, TX 75401, and the whole drive covers 2.2 miles in roughly 5 minutes with no tolls. You can open Stone Street Dental in Google Maps for turn-by-turn help. If you reach the 4-way stop at Stanford Street, you have gone a block past us.
The W. Walworth Harrison Public Library and Ja-Lu Community Park share a lot on Lou Finney Lane, one block from the office, so anyone who already drives to the library knows these turns. The city's own library directions use the same Wesley Street and Joe Ramsey route.
Patients from Peniel on the north side and from Caddo Mills out along SH 66 come to the same building. Rush-hour traffic on Wesley Street can stretch the drive by a few minutes.
Why Mineral Heights Households Keep Their Care on Stonewall Street
Mineral Heights is part of the City of Greenville today, and the name lives on mostly in maps and federal place-name records. The Texas Almanac lists it among the former communities of Hunt County. What residents know it for now is practical: Greenville High School, the residential streets of the Greenville Hills Addition, and the grocery stores along the south end of Wesley Street.
The surrounding census tract is a mix of homeowners and renters, with owners holding a slight majority. Most homes are single-family houses, and the typical one dates to the mid-1980s. The median age in the tract sits in the mid-30s, which points to plenty of parents with kids still at home.
Those households tend to need a dental office that can handle a lot in one place. Our team has worked together for years and brings more than 15 years of combined experience, so the people who greet you at a teen's first visit are usually the ones you see at the next one. Cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions and implants all stay in-house rather than being sent across town.
The schedule fits a school week, too. We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and closed on Wednesday. With a five-minute drive, a morning cleaning can end with a student back in class without losing most of the day.
Game Days, Growth Spurts and Other Dental Notes for Mineral Heights
Sports shape a lot of life around Mineral Heights. The Greenville SportsPark on Leo Hackney Boulevard has six softball fields and room for up to nine soccer fields. Next to it, the 120,000-square-foot SportsPark Center adds six gym courts, indoor turf and an aquatics center.
All that play means elbows, balls and falls, and front teeth take the brunt. A properly fitted mouthguard is the simplest protection for basketball, soccer and softball alike. When a tooth does chip, a small break can often be rebuilt with tooth-colored fillings that blend with the enamel around them. A deeper crack may need more, and an exam with x-rays shows which option fits.
Timing matters most with a knocked-out or loosened tooth. Call us as soon as it happens, because we make every effort to see you the same day you call. Our intraoral camera lets a parent see the damage on a screen alongside Dr. Garrad, which makes the next decision easier.
Teenagers bring their own list. Sports drinks and constant snacking feed the bacteria that cause cavities, so regular dental cleanings for children and teens catch soft spots early. The late teen years are also when wisdom teeth start to show on x-rays, and crowded smiles often come up as students head toward graduation.
Adults in the neighborhood are not left out. Many parents put their own visits off while juggling practices and tournaments. Booking a parent's cleaning right after a child's turns one trip up Wesley Street into two checkups.
Treatment Options From a Dentist Near Mineral Heights
Emergency Dentistry
Chipped teeth from a softball, a toothache that flares during finals week, or a lost filling all count. The short drive from Mineral Heights makes it realistic to come in quickly when something goes wrong.
Children’s Dentistry
We see young patients from age 10, which covers middle schoolers and every grade at Greenville High School. Cleanings, cavity care and honest advice about brushing around braces are all part of the visit.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and root canal therapy repair teeth that decay or injury has weakened. Parents who have postponed their own repairs can get them planned during a child's appointment week.
Clear Aligners
Invisalign and 3M Clarity Aligners straighten teeth with removable trays, so there are no brackets to catch a ball. Our intraoral scanner records digital impressions without trays full of putty.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Late teens and young adults are the usual age for wisdom teeth to cause crowding or pain. Removal can be scheduled around school breaks, and nitrous oxide or oral sedation helps nervous patients relax.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Stone Street Dental from Mineral Heights, and how do I get there?
From Greenville High School it is 2.2 miles, about 5 minutes by car. Take Lions Lair Road and Terrell Road east to Wesley Street (SH 34), head north to Joe Ramsey Boulevard, go right one block, then turn left onto Stonewall Street. Anyone who wants a dentist near Mineral Heights can make the trip entirely on city streets.
Is Mineral Heights inside Greenville city limits?
Yes. Census Bureau geography places Mineral Heights within the City of Greenville, and it falls inside Greenville ISD. The name now appears mainly on maps and in federal place-name records rather than as a separate town. For a dental visit, that simply means a short drive across town to Stonewall Street.
What should a player do if a tooth gets knocked out at the SportsPark?
Pick the tooth up by its crown, rinse it briefly without scrubbing, and keep it moist in milk or inside the cheek. Then get to a dentist right away, since the first hour matters. Call our office on the way, because we make every effort to see you the same day you call on the days we are open.
Do I need I-30 to reach Stonewall Street from Mineral Heights?
No. The interstate runs south of the neighborhood, with exits 92 and 93 close by, but the office lies to the north. Wesley Street, Joe Ramsey Boulevard and Stonewall Street get you there directly. Getting on I-30 would only add distance and a couple of extra turns to a five-minute trip.
How can a Mineral Heights family without insurance keep a teenager's dental costs manageable?
Our In-Office Dental Membership Plan is the usual answer. One annual fee covers routine preventive visits, and fillings, crowns and other treatment are 15% off, though clear aligners are excluded. There are no waiting periods, claim forms or annual maximums, and CareCredit or Sunbit can spread out the cost of larger work.
