A dentist for Celina families, on Custer Road in Frisco.
A first appointment for families new to the area — one that builds a dental record and nothing more.
New to Celina? Finding a dentist after a move
Celina had about 16,700 residents at the 2020 census. By July 2025 the estimate was roughly 64,400. That is not growth in the ordinary sense — the town is close to four times the size it was five years ago, and the great majority of people living there now were not living there then.
It follows that most households in Celina have no dental history in this area at all. No records, no baseline X-rays, no note of which tooth was watched last time and why. Nearly ninety-three per cent of homes are owner-occupied and nearly a third of the town is under eighteen, so these are families settling in for a long stay and starting from scratch while they do it.
That is a different problem from finding a new dentist. Switching practices means transferring a story. Starting in a new town means writing the first page of one.
City figures from the US Census Bureau, QuickFacts: Celina city, Texas — population 2020 and 2025, share under 18, and owner-occupied housing rate. Checked September 16, 2026. Not our figures, and they can be looked up.
Your first dental visit: a proper baseline
A first visit here is an examination, only the X-rays that are actually indicated, and a scan that is kept. The scan matters more than it sounds: this year against last year is how wear from grinding, creeping recession and a crack that is spreading become visible at all. None of them can be seen in a mirror and none of them announce themselves.
Then we tell you what we found, including when the answer is that nothing needs doing. A new-patient appointment that produces a long treatment plan every single time is not a practice reading teeth; it is a practice reading you.
Whether it has been months or years, that is genuinely fine and more common than people think. It will not be commented on here — where things stand now is far more interesting than how they got there.

ExploreDr. Karuna Peravali and her staff have been the kindest and most dedicated. They always help me find a convenient appointment. They have been taking care of my family for seven years now.
