Convenient Access from Neylandville
Neylandville has no dental office of its own, so most residents drive somewhere for checkups, and Stone Street Dental in Greenville is about 14 minutes down State Highway 224. People who need a dentist in Neylandville, TX for dentures, crowns, gum care or a simple cleaning will find all of it in our one office on Stonewall St. Dr. Alison K. Garrad plans each treatment herself, from the first exam to the final fitting.
A good place to start is the St. Paul School historical marker at Lee Boulevard and McMurray Lane, in front of City Hall. Take Lee Boulevard, which is County Road 4311, out to SH 224 and turn southwest toward Greenville. The highway runs nearly six miles southwest before it enters the city and takes the name Commerce Drive.
Keep going straight as Commerce Drive becomes Stonewall Street, and follow Stonewall south through downtown Greenville. Our office is the next block after the 4-way stop at Stanford Street, at 4613 Stonewall St, Greenville, TX 75401. Expect about 9.2 miles and 14 minutes, with no tolls, and use our Google Maps listing if you want spoken directions.
The city library and Ja-Lu Community Park sit one block away on Lou Finney Lane, and the traffic light at Joe Ramsey Boulevard tells you that you have gone a little too far. Patients from Campbell and Commerce also come to this same office. The downtown stretch can slow at rush hour, so allow a few extra minutes then.
Why Neylandville Residents Make the Trip Down SH 224
Neylandville is a small town in northeastern Hunt County, covering well under half a square mile along SH 224 between Commerce and Greenville. Its history reaches back to the 1850s. The town grew as an all-Black community after James Brigham bought his own and his family's freedom from planter Robert Neyland, whose name the town still carries. The Texas Historical Commission's St. Paul School marker record tells more of the community's story.
By the 1880s residents had formed a farmers' cooperative that built a general store and a cotton gin. The Cotton Belt railroad arrived in 1886, and a post office served the community from 1888 to 1924. Neylandville incorporated in 1970.
A place this size depends on neighboring cities for groceries, banking and health care. That makes the choice of dental office a practical one: the right office handles as much as possible in each visit and does not send you to three different buildings. Our office keeps exams, x-rays, fillings, root canals, extractions, dentures and implants under one roof.
The people matter as much as the procedures. Our team has worked together for years, with more than 15 years of combined experience, and patients from small towns often tell us they like being recognized at the front desk. Every visit is with the same doctor, which keeps the plan consistent from one season to the next.
Fewer Trips, Fuller Visits: Dental Planning for Neylandville
When every appointment means a drive, it pays to plan care in blocks. A cleaning, an exam and any needed x-rays can usually happen in a single visit. If Dr. Garrad finds a cavity or a cracked filling, we can often line up the repair for a day that suits your schedule, instead of a string of short trips.
Census estimates suggest residents here skew older than in nearby Greenville, though the sample is small. For many older adults, the big questions are about keeping the teeth they have and replacing the ones they have lost. Gum disease is a leading cause of adult tooth loss, and it often advances without pain, so we check gum health at every exam.
For missing teeth, patients compare several options. Traditional dentures are the most familiar, while implants and implant-supported dentures hold more firmly when you eat. Our CBCT 3D imaging shows bone volume in detail, so an implant consultation starts with real measurements rather than guesswork.
Denture wearers still benefit from a yearly visit. The jawbone under a denture slowly changes shape, so a fit that felt snug five years ago can start rubbing sores. An annual check also gives Dr. Garrad a chance to examine the gums, tongue and cheeks for anything unusual.
Longer procedures do not have to be stressful. Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes, while oral conscious sedation calls for a friend or relative to drive you home afterward. Either option can make a single, longer visit more comfortable than several short ones.
Severe tooth pain can sometimes be resolved with root canal therapy instead of an extraction, and we perform that treatment in-house. For a tooth that breaks or aches suddenly, call right away, because we make every effort to see you the same day you call. We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM.
Younger families in town are welcome too. Students here attend Commerce ISD, and we see patients from age 10, so a middle schooler can join a grandparent's appointment day.
Treatments Offered to Patients Wanting a Dentist in Neylandville, TX
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges rebuild worn or broken teeth so they work like they should. Combining several repairs into one longer visit saves an extra drive.
Missing Teeth Treatment
Dentures, snap-in dentures, bridges and implants each fill a gap in a different way. We lay out the options side by side so you can weigh comfort, upkeep and cost.
Periodontal Treatment
Deep cleanings treat infection below the gumline and help keep natural teeth in place. Regular follow-up visits stop pockets from quietly deepening again.
Preventive Dentistry
Routine exams, cleanings and x-rays catch small problems while they are still small. Two visits a year along SH 224 are easier than one emergency.
Emergency Dentistry
A swollen jaw, a lost crown or a cracked tooth needs attention quickly. The 14-minute drive means help is closer than many residents expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Stone Street Dental from Neylandville, and how do I get there?
The St. Paul School marker by City Hall is 9.2 miles from our office, roughly a 14-minute drive. Take County Road 4311 to SH 224, follow it southwest until it becomes Commerce Drive, then continue straight onto Stonewall Street.

Which school district do Neylandville children attend, and can they be seen here?
Local students attend Commerce ISD, and yes, we see them from age 10. The district absorbed the town's St. Paul School in the mid-1960s, so local families have long sent children to Commerce campuses. A student and a parent can book back-to-back visits to save a second drive.
What does the St. Paul School historical marker in Neylandville honor?
It honors a school that grew from classes at St. Paul Baptist Church into the main educational center for Black children in nearby towns. A St. Paul school district existed by 1885, and a new building went up in 1918. The Texas Historical Commission placed the marker in 1989.
Can a denture adjustment and an implant consultation happen on the same trip from Neylandville?
Often, yes, if you mention both when you call. Dr. Garrad can check the fit of your current denture and review 3D images for implant planning in one appointment. That gives you a clear comparison of the options without a second drive down SH 224.
When did Neylandville become an incorporated town?
Neylandville incorporated in 1970, more than a century after its founding. The community dates to the 1850s, and the Cotton Belt railroad reached it in 1886. A post office operated there from 1888 until 1924, long before the town formally organized its own government.
