Convenient Access from Earlywine
Pool days, ball games and tee times fill a lot of calendars around Earlywine Park, so a dental visit has to be easy to fit in. Plan on about 8 minutes for the drive from the park to Shadid Dental Studio, a family practice in south Oklahoma City since 1984. If you need a dentist near Earlywine for the kids, yourself or both, the route has just two main turns.
Leave the Earlywine Family Aquatic Center at 3101 SW 119th St and head east a short way to S. May Ave. Turn left and go north about 2 miles, then turn right onto SW 89th St and continue east about 1.9 miles. A left at S. Klein Ave. brings you to 1001 SW 89th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73139. The trip covers 4.1 miles, all on city streets, with Earlywine Golf Club off to the west as you set out. Save the office on Google Maps, and families farther east can see our pages for Westmoore and Southern Hills.
A Family Practice Built for Earlywine Households
Earlywine lies inside Oklahoma City limits, on the Cleveland County side, and Earlywine Park anchors daily life here. The park holds sports fields and the Earlywine Family Aquatic Center, one of two family aquatic centers run by OKC Parks. The city golf club at 11600 S. Portland Ave. has two 18-hole courses, North and South. Nearby, Earlywine Elementary opened in 1993 as part of Moore Public Schools.
With school, sports and family time on the calendar, parents need an office that sees children and adults, explains things clearly and does not make every visit an all-day event. Our team has been with the practice for years, many for 20 to 30 years or more. Appointments run Monday through Thursday, 8:45 AM to 5 PM, with Fridays closed.
Healthy Smiles for Active Earlywine Families
Kids who play team sports need more than a water bottle. A custom sports mouthguard, molded from the child's own teeth, protects against chipped and loosened teeth and fits better than a generic one. Because children's mouths keep changing, a guard is worth checking at each regular visit. Fluoride treatments and cleanings handle the everyday side of prevention.
Summer can be hard on teeth too. Popsicles, sports drinks and all-day snacking at the pool keep sugar on enamel for hours. Rinsing with water, setting snack times and keeping six-month checkups on the calendar make a real difference. Our family dentistry visits also include nutrition guidance, so parents know which treats do the most harm.
Adults in the neighborhood have their own priorities. Some want whiter teeth for family photos, and others are ready to replace a tooth lost years ago. Teeth whitening, bonding and porcelain veneers cover the cosmetic side. Dental implants, implant-supported bridges and implant-supported dentures replace missing teeth with a stable result.
A cracked molar does not have to mean weeks of back-and-forth. With CEREC, the dentists take a digital impression, design the crown on screen and mill it in the office. You leave the same day with the final crown, not a temporary. For a parent juggling practices and work, that saves a second trip down May Ave.
Older patients have their own concerns. A partial denture can fill gaps left by missing teeth, and a full denture restores a complete arch. When a denture slips, implants can anchor it. The dentists walk through each choice and its cost before any work begins.
Accidents still happen on the field or at the pool. When you call about an emergency, we strive to fit you into our schedule. New patients without insurance can use the $59 Emergency Exam & X-Ray, which includes a focused exam, any needed x-rays and treatment recommendations, as long as no periodontal disease is present.
Gum disease is easy to miss in busy adults, since it often starts without pain. Scaling and root planing cleans below the gumline when pockets deepen, and perio maintenance visits keep things stable afterward. Families from nearby Moore and Newcastle see the same pattern, and the answer always starts with a thorough exam.
Family Treatments With a Dentist Near Earlywine
Family Dentistry
Exams, cleanings, digital x-rays, fluoride and custom sports mouthguards cover kids and parents alike. Nightguards help adults who grind.
Cosmetic Dentistry
In-office whitening, Opalescence Go take-home whitening, bonding and porcelain veneers refresh a smile before a big event or a new school year.
Dental Implants
Parents who lost a tooth to an old sports injury, and grandparents tired of a loose denture, both have options. Implants can hold a crown, a bridge or a full denture firmly in place.
Periodontal Treatment
Busy parents often notice gum trouble last. A deep cleaning below the gumline, sometimes paired with antimicrobial therapy, calms the infection, and follow-up maintenance visits keep it from creeping back.
Restorative Dentistry
Composite fillings, extractions, bridges, dentures and partials repair damage. A filling worn down by years of chewing can be replaced with tooth-colored material.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Shadid Dental Studio from Earlywine, and how do I get there?
The office is 4.1 miles from the Earlywine Family Aquatic Center, about an 8-minute drive. Head north on S. May Ave., then east on SW 89th St to S. Klein Ave. For parents choosing a dentist near Earlywine, the two-turn route keeps checkups simple, and it stays on surface streets the whole way.
What causes sensitive teeth?
Sensitivity usually comes from exposed dentin, the layer under enamel. Worn enamel, receding gums, grinding, a cracked tooth or a cavity can all expose it. Acidic drinks and very hard brushing make it worse. The dentists can find the cause at an exam and suggest a fix, such as a filling, a nightguard or gum treatment.
Can a dental implant replace a tooth knocked out in an accident?
Often, yes, once the jaw has finished growing and the area has healed. An implant acts as a new root and supports a crown that looks and works like a natural tooth. Dr. Shadid, Jr. completed a year-long implant mini-residency, and the dentists review x-rays to plan the right timing.
How should I clean and store a sports mouthguard?
Rinse it with cool water after every use and brush it gently with a toothbrush and mild soap. Let it air dry, then store it in a ventilated case away from heat, since a hot car can warp it. Bring the guard to checkups so the dentists can confirm it still fits well.
At what age can kids brush their teeth without help?
Most children need a parent's help or a quick check until about age 7 or 8, when they can usually tie their own shoes well. Until then, young kids tend to miss the back molars and the gumline. Parents can let them brush first and then go over any spots they missed. Your hygienist can show simple techniques at checkups.
