For You Dental

For You Dental We provide a dental experience that is all "for you." As soon as you walk in our doors you will know you made the right choice. Our name says it all.

As soon as you walk through our doors, you will know you made the right choice in choosing us as your dental home. We will greet you by name, offer to help you with your new patient paperwork, and keep you informed on your scheduled appointment. We hate going to doctor appointments and feeling like we don't matter, so we do all we can to let you know that you and your dental health are important to us. You aren't just another patient - you are part of our dental family. We know that some people can experience dental anxiety, especially if it has been a while since their last visit. Stop worrying! We will make sure your time with us is gentle, comfortable, and effective. We offer relaxing sedation options, pillows, and blankets so that you feel at ease during your entire treatment. We also encourage open communication, so if at any time you need us to slow down, let us know and we can take a break..

I have 4 kids. That means when parents come to me worried about their children's teeth, I really understand.

I've dealt with the brushing battles. The resistance to flossing. The teen years when they think they know everything. I've been there, in my own home, with my own kids.

After 15 years of practicing dentistry, I know exactly how to make dental care work for busy families. But more than that, I understand what you're going through as a parent.
When you tell me your child won't brush properly, I get it. When you're worried about starting orthodontics at the right time, I've had those same conversations with myself.

I treat every patient like family because that's exactly how I want my own family to be treated. With patience. With understanding. With real solutions that work in the real world.

That understanding makes all the difference. You're not just getting a dentist. You're getting someone who knows what it's like to be in your shoes.

Want dental care from someone who understands your family's needs? Call 214-231-3131 to schedule.

🦷 Growing Up With a Smile You Love | Meet Miles! ✨

There is truly no higher compliment than when a patient grows up in our chairs. Meet Miles, he’s been part of the For You Dental family since he was a baby, and hearing his story reminds us exactly why we do what we do.

Miles recently shared that he loves coming here because it’s helped him get his teeth straight, and he feels truly cared for by our team. He even gave a special shoutout to Dr. Ashlea Drakeford, noting that while "she’s the boss," she is primarily kind and dedicated to helping him.

One of the most heart-centered things Miles shared was a message for other kids (and adults!) who might be nervous: “Don’t be scared of For You Dental... they aren’t trying to hurt you, they are actually trying to help you.” At For You Dental, we believe dentistry is about more than just fixing teeth; it's about building emotional trust and supporting your health at every stage of life. Whether you are starting your Invisalign journey like Miles, or looking into restorative treatments like dental implants, we move at your pace in a judgment-free environment.

As Miles wisely reminds us: "Everybody and every kid should brush their teeth every day, twice, and floss your teeth after a meal." We couldn't have said it better ourselves!

How can we help your family smile today?
• Invisalign & Braces for all ages
• Cosmetic Enhancements for a confidence boost
• Dental Implants to restore function
• Restorative Care in a warm, all-women led office

Are you looking for a dental home where you feel like family? 🏠

📞 Call us today at 214-231-3131 to schedule your visit! Or, comment "SMILE" below, and we’ll reach out to help you get started! 💫

Our New Smile, Backed by Expert Care đź’«

At For You Dental, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between a healthy smile and a beautiful one.

Whether you are looking to straighten your teeth, replace what’s missing, or simply get back on track with your oral health, Dr. Ashlea Drakeford and her team provide the premium, personalized care you deserve right here in Dallas.

Why Choose For You Dental?

We aren't just another corporate chain; we are a women-led, private practice built on real relationships and high-end results. Our expertise covers the full spectrum of advanced dentistry:

Invisalign & Clear Aligners: Using our iTero digital scanner, we create a 3D map of your mouth—no more goopy impressions. We can even show you a simulation of your new smile before you start.

Permanent Dental Implants: The gold standard for missing teeth. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, protecting your jaw health and preventing other teeth from shifting.

Advanced Gum Health: Our specialized Perio Therapy uses custom trays to deliver medication deep under the gumline, treating the "silent" bacteria that causes bone loss and impacts your heart health.

Patient-First Technology & Comfort

We know the dental chair can be intimidating. That’s why we’ve redefined the experience:

Total Control: If you ever feel uncomfortable, just raise your left hand and we stop immediately.

Sedation Options: We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to ensure your visit is completely stress-free.

Transparent Care: You’ll leave your visit with a QR code on your phone containing your full digital scan and treatment plan so you can review it at home.

No insurance? No problem. We offer a Dental Loyalty Plan and flexible financing through Cherry and Sunbit to ensure premium care fits your budget.

Ready to experience the best dentist in Dallas? We are currently welcoming new patients and would love to help you start your journey to a more confident smile.

🚨 Dental Pain Doesn’t Wait, And Neither Should You 🚨

Have you ever woken up with that sharp, throbbing ache that just won’t go away? Or maybe you were enjoying lunch and suddenly felt a tooth crack? 🥪💔 At For You Dental, we know that a dental emergency can be incredibly stressful, and the last thing you want to hear is "we can see you in two weeks."

Stop scrolling for a second, because this is important: Dental emergencies like a swollen face, sudden pain, or a broken crown are your body’s way of saying something needs attention now. Waiting can often turn a small fix into a much bigger (and more expensive) problem.

We do things differently here in Dallas. Dr. Ashlea Drakeford and our team block off time every single day specifically for urgent cases just like yours. Whether it's been six months or six years since your last visit, we are a strictly judgment-free zone. Our only goal is to get you out of pain and back to your life.

If it hurts, we help. It’s that simple. 💙

From restorative treatments to emergency extractions, we walk alongside you to ensure you feel safe, heard, and cared for.

A Connection That’s Deeper Than Dentistry 🦷✨

At For You Dental, we know that for many, a trip to the dentist feels like a chore—or worse, a source of anxiety. But what if your dental visit felt like catching up with a friend who truly cares about your well-being?.

Listen to what our patient, Lo, has to say about her three-year journey with Dr. Ashlea Drakeford:
"Dr. J is very educational. She gives me the 'why' behind the treatment, not just telling me what I need and that’s it. I feel calm, cool, and collected here. She talks to me like a regular person, not just a patient or a number. I see the change in my gums and my smile—it just feels healthier."

Lo’s story is the heart of our mission. Whether you are looking for cosmetic enhancements, Invisalign, or dental implants, we believe you deserve transparency and a gentle touch. We aren't here to lecture you on why you haven't been in lately; we’re here to listen, educate, and move at your pace.

If you’ve been avoiding the chair because of past "dental PTSD," let us show you a different side of care—one where you are always in control.

Have you ever had a doctor take the time to explain the "why" behind your care? Tell us about a time you felt truly heard in the comments below! 👇

Invisalign doesn't hurt. I need to say that clearly. Too many patients avoid it because someone told them it's painful.

It's not.

There's pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners. That pressure means the aligners are working. But pressure isn't pain. It's your teeth moving, which is exactly what we want.

Some people confuse the adjustment period with traditional braces. Braces can be uncomfortable when they're tightened. But Invisalign works differently. The movement is gradual, controlled, and much gentler.

If pain is the reason you're avoiding Invisalign, let's clear that up. Come in, let's talk about what the process is really like, and you can make an informed decision based on facts instead of myths.

Avoiding Invisalign because you've heard it's painful? Let's separate fact from fiction.

Ever look at your child’s smile and see a reflection of your own journey? ✨

I hear it so often from my adult patients in Dallas: "Dr. Drakeford, I wish I had done this sooner." In fact, surveys show that 4 out of 10 adults who didn't get orthodontic care as teens now live with that one nagging regret. They’re navigating life with crowding, uncomfortable bite issues, or that subtle self-consciousness that makes them hide their smile in photos.

As a parent, you have the power to change that narrative for your child. By prioritizing their oral health now, you aren't just giving them straight teeth—you’re giving them the gift of permanent confidence. Whether it’s through Invisalign or foundational restorative treatments, we focus on more than just aesthetics; we focus on the health benefits that last a lifetime.

At For You Dental, we treat your family like our own. We understand the concerns—the busy schedules, the questions about comfort, and the investment in their future. We are here to guide you with genuine care and expertise, ensuring your child never has to say, "I wish I had."

Parents, what is one thing you want your child to feel every time they look in the mirror? Let’s chat in the comments! 👇

Give your child the confidence you wish you had. Call us today at 214-231-3131 to schedule a consultation.

At For You Dental, we believe that a change in your employment shouldn’t dictate the future of your confidence. I recently sat down with a patient who was in the middle of her smile transformation when life took an unexpected turn—she lost her job, and along with it, her dental insurance.

Watching her confidence dim was heartbreaking, but at our practice, we believe that while coverage helps, compassion carries people further. We sat down together, looked at her goals, and worked out a flexible, in-house way to keep her treatment on track. Today, her smile is back and stronger than ever!

If you’ve been putting off your dental health because of financial uncertainty, please know that you aren’t just a policy number to us—you’re family. Whether you are looking for Invisalign, dental implants, or cosmetic enhancements, we offer transparent pricing and tailored payment plans designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Have you ever let insurance worries hold you back from the care you deserve? Let’s talk about it in the comments. 👇

Before you even walk through our door, we call you.

This is us saying: we're excited to meet you. Tell us about yourself. What are your goals for your smile?

We want to know if you've had experiences with other dentists that we should know about. We want to understand what matters to you.

When you arrive, there are no surprises. We explain what we're doing before we do it. X-rays, exams, everything. You know what's happening and why.

If you need treatment, we create a plan that fits your life. Your schedule. Your budget. Your goals.

Our front desk team will sit with you and find payment options that work for you. We're not rushing you out the door. We're making sure you have what you need.

Transparency from start to finish. That's how we work.

At For You Dental, we believe that your journey to a healthier, more confident smile deserves a space that feels just as inspiring as the results we achieve together. I am Dr. Ashlea Drakeford, and I am beyond thrilled to finally share some incredible news with my Dallas family—we are growing!

I’ve always had big dreams for this practice, and while our current home has been the start of so many beautiful transformations, I knew we needed a space that could truly keep up with the vision I have for your care. I finally found the perfect spot to build a state-of-the-art "dental home" where you can feel relaxed, supported, and truly at peace.

To all my patients who have supported me from day one—from our first cleanings to complex Invisalign journeys and dental implant restorations—please know that I carry your stories with me. This new building isn't just about more rooms; it's about providing the premium, heart-centered experience you deserve. Before the construction crews arrive and the transformation begins, I wanted to pull back the curtain and take you on a little tour of our new "blank canvas."

We are creating a space designed for cosmetic enhancements, advanced restorative treatments, and life-changing smile makeovers. Whether you’ve been with us for a decade or are looking for a new dental home in Dallas, we can’t wait to welcome you into this next chapter!
