Families searching for a dentist near Westmoore will find Shadid Dental Studio about 5 minutes up S. Western Ave., in south Oklahoma City. Dr. Paul A.

Start at Westmoore High School, 12613 S. Western Ave., and head north on Western for roughly 2.4 miles. Turn left onto SW 89th St, go about a block west, then turn right at S. Klein Ave. to reach 1001 SW 89th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73139. The whole trip covers 2.6 miles. Along the way you pass Brink Junior High at 11420 S. Western Ave., and the drive crosses from Cleveland County into Oklahoma County at SW 89th St. Pull up the office on Google Maps, or see our pages for Earlywine to the west and Moore to the east.
Living Along S. Western Ave. in Westmoore
Westmoore is not a separate town. The name comes from Westmoore High School, which opened in 1988 as the second high school in Moore Public Schools. The surrounding neighborhoods sit inside Oklahoma City limits, on the Cleveland County side, even though the district serves a large part of southern Oklahoma City. The City of Moore itself begins less than a mile east of the school.
Life in this part of town tends to run on the school calendar. Brink Junior High and Moore West Junior High both feed Westmoore, and Earlywine Elementary does too. Subdivisions and neighborhood associations line S. Western Ave., with SW 119th and SW 134th St as the main east-west roads. The Southwest Oklahoma City Library on SW 134th St is another familiar stop for local families.
Our office fits that pattern because it sits on the same main road. A parent can pick up a student, drive north on Western and be in the chair within minutes. Appointments run Monday through Thursday, 8:45 AM to 5 PM, so families can pair a checkup with a school holiday or a lighter afternoon. The practice has kept the same address for decades, so returning patients always know where to go.
Many of the faces stay the same too. Several team members have been with the practice for 20 to 30 years or more, and dental assistants Christin and LaDawna help the dentists through each procedure. Records are fully digital, and x-rays appear on screen within moments, so the dentists can show parents exactly what they see. Flat-screen TVs in the treatment rooms help younger patients pass the time.
Teen Smiles, Sports and Busy Westmoore Schedules
Westmoore High is a large Class 6A school with a full athletics program. That means a lot of practices, games and contact on the field or court. A custom sports mouthguard, molded to the athlete's own teeth, stays in place better than a boil-and-bite guard and makes breathing and talking easier. Custom guards are part of our family dentistry care, and they suit football, basketball, soccer and wrestling alike.
Teen years bring their own dental patterns. Energy drinks and late-night snacks feed the bacteria that cause cavities, and busy students often skip flossing. Regular cleanings, digital x-rays and fluoride treatments help catch small problems before they turn into bigger repairs. A few simple habits, like rinsing with water after sports drinks, go a long way between seasons.
Parents have needs of their own. Stress at work can lead to nighttime grinding, and an old filling may crack after years of chewing. Nightguards, composite fillings and crowns handle those issues without a long wait. CEREC same-day crowns are especially handy for families with full calendars, since the crown is designed, milled and placed in a single visit.
Injuries on the field are a fact of school sports. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, pick it up by the crown, rinse it gently, keep it moist in milk or saliva and call right away. A chipped or loosened tooth also deserves a prompt look. When you call about an emergency, we strive to fit you into our schedule, and new patients without insurance can use the $59 Emergency Exam & X-Ray when no periodontal disease is present.
Senior photos and homecoming dances also spark questions about whitening. In-office whitening or Opalescence Go take-home trays can brighten enamel, and bonding can smooth a small chip. Starting a few weeks ahead leaves time to adjust the shade if needed.
Care for Every Age From a Dentist Near Westmoore
Family Dentistry
Checkups, digital x-rays, fluoride and oral cancer screenings keep every age on track. Custom sports mouthguards protect Westmoore athletes, and nightguards help parents who clench at night.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, bonding and porcelain veneers address stains, small chips and uneven edges. Take-home trays let busy students whiten on their own schedule.
Same-Day Crowns
CEREC crowns are milled in our office from a digital impression. A cracked tooth can be restored in one appointment, with no temporary crown.
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored fillings, extractions, bridges and partials repair damage and fill gaps. Treatment is planned around school and work days.
Root Canal Therapy
An infected or badly inflamed tooth can often be saved instead of removed. The dentists clean and seal the inside of the tooth, then protect it with a restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Shadid Dental Studio from Westmoore, and how do I get there?
Shadid Dental Studio is 2.6 miles north of Westmoore High School, about a 5-minute drive. Go north on S. Western Ave., turn left onto SW 89th St and right at S. Klein Ave. It is one of the simplest trips for anyone wanting a dentist near Westmoore, with a single main road nearly the whole way.
Is teeth whitening safe for teenagers?
Generally, yes, once the permanent teeth have come in and the dentists confirm there are no cavities or gum problems. Professional whitening uses a controlled gel, either in the office or with Opalescence Go take-home trays. Some teens feel brief sensitivity, which usually fades. A checkup first makes sure whitening is the right choice.
How can I tell if I grind my teeth at night?
Common signs include waking with a sore jaw or headache, teeth that look flattened or chipped, and a partner hearing grinding while you sleep. Sensitive teeth can be another clue. At your exam the dentists look for wear patterns, and a custom nightguard can protect your enamel and dental work if grinding is confirmed.
Are tooth-colored fillings as strong as metal ones?
For most everyday fillings, yes. Modern composite resin bonds directly to the tooth, so the dentists can often remove less healthy structure than an older metal filling required. Composite also blends with your natural shade. For very large cavities on back molars, a crown may be the sturdier option, and the dentists will explain why.
Is there a dental plan for families without insurance?
Yes. The in-office Membership Plan costs $39 a month for adults and $29 a month for children 12 and younger, plus a one-time $149 activation fee. Members get two cleanings a year, exams, up to two fluoride treatments, annual x-rays, one emergency exam and 15% off most other treatment.
