Our story

The practice's stone building and entrance on Precinct Line Road, Colleyville.
Four of the practice's dental hygienists in the office.

Dr. Jean Tuggey started out as a dental hygienist. She went back to dental school, graduated in 1985 and became one of the first women dentists in Northeast Tarrant County. Her first rule then is still the rule now: patient first.

In June 2022 her youngest daughter, Dr. Leslie Tuggey, joined the practice. Same school, same chairs, the next generation.

Scanned in 3D and made in the office: crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges and veneers, with no temporary crown and no second visit.

Dental implants

A titanium root that fuses with the jaw, with a crown on top. The whole process typically takes between six and nine months.

ClearCorrect

Clear aligners instead of brackets and wires, worn at least 22 hours a day. Most adults wear them for between one and two years.

Teeth whitening

Professional whitening uses stronger agents than anything over the counter, and can lighten teeth by several shades in a single visit.

Technology & safety

Scanned, designed and made here, the same day.

No traditional impressions or powders, and no temporary crown to look after until a second appointment. The office fully uses state-of-the-art equipment, and the rooms were designed around it.

  • Digital 3D scanning and manufacturingSame-day crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges and veneers. No temporary crowns and no second visit.
  • Digital x-raysLess radiation and no film. Images appear instantly, can be enlarged for a more accurate diagnosis, and can be sent to a specialist in seconds.
  • Sterilization beyond OSHA requirementsSteam, heat and chemical sterilization. Every instrument is bagged and heat-sterilized in an autoclave after each patient.

Patients since 1991, and still coming back.

It was a wonderful experience. I felt I was seen as a worthy person with a problem who needed help, not the next name in an appointment book. I was blown away by the friendliness married to competence and professionalism exhibited by everyone in the whole clinic. Thanks again and again! Dorothy P.Patient since 2016
I have been with Dr Tuggey for many, many years. I like her very much and just keep on going back as needed. Staff is very professional! Edith V.Patient since 1996

We also accept all major credit cards, ATM cards, cash and personal checks, and offer a third-party payment plan.

Do you see children?

Yes. From children to seasoned seniors, the office is set up to care for the whole family, including sealants and fluoride for younger patients. There is a separate child health history form to fill in before the first visit.

Can a crown really be done in one visit?

Often, yes. With digital 3D scanning and manufacturing, crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges and veneers are made in the office the same day, with no temporary crown, no second visit and no traditional impressions or powders.

I snore. Can a dentist help?

Snoring is not always sleep apnea, and the difference matters. Depending on how severe it is, treatment may include an oral sleep appliance. Mention it at your next visit and we will talk through the options.
