Small-Town Pantego, Big-Picture Dental Care
Pantego traces its name to a promise. Settler Frederick Foscue offered land for a school on the condition that it be named Pantego, after a Native American friend. The Texas and Pacific Railway arrived before 1876, a post office opened in 1905, and the town incorporated in 1949, then reincorporated on May 22, 1952.
Today Pantego is a town of about 2,600 people in roughly one square mile of Tarrant County, entirely surrounded by Arlington and Dalworthington Gardens. Homes share the map with light industry, shopping and services, and Bicentennial Park at Smith Barry Road and Nora Lane serves as the town park. Bicentennial Park has a wading pond with bronze statues, a shaded playground, walking trails and a splash pad that runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
A small town deserves a practice that feels personal. With one dentist, you see Dr. Lim at every exam, and your history stays with the same doctor from one visit to the next. Our team will hand you a Fiji water or a Starbucks coffee on arrival and a cozy blanket if the room feels cool.
Your first appointment is thorough. The hygienist gathers x-rays, intraoral photos and gum measurements, then Dr. Lim performs the exam and sits down with you to explain what he sees. You go home with a custom treatment plan and the costs laid out, which our first visit and financial options page describes step by step.
Checkups, Confidence and Pantego's School Calendar
Pantego children attend Arlington ISD schools, including Hill Elementary, Bailey Junior High and Arlington High School. Late summer is a natural time to line up cleanings for several kids in one trip down Bowen Road, before class schedules fill. A single morning at our office can cover the whole family.
For students, the basics matter most: cleanings, fluoride and a careful exam that catches small cavities early. Near-infrared cavity detection lets Dr. Lim spot early decay without relying only on x-rays. Anyone who wants straighter teeth can ask about clear aligners, which Dr. Lim provides in-house.
Adults often have a different goal: a brighter, more confident smile for work and family photos. Professional teeth whitening lifts years of coffee and tea stains, and it pairs well with a fresh cleaning. Healthy gums frame every smile, so gum care stays part of the plan too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Impact Dentistry from Pantego, and how do I get there?
The office is about 7.5 miles from Pantego Town Hall, close to a 14-minute drive. Take S Bowen Road south to the I-20 frontage road, go east to S Cooper St, then head south on Cooper. Families searching for a dentist in Pantego, TX will find us at 7416 S Cooper St in south Arlington, with no tolls along the way.
Do you use a laser to treat gum problems?
Yes. Dr. Lim uses a soft tissue laser as part of gum treatment, which lets him treat irritated or infected gum tissue precisely. It is one of several tools he combines with professional cleanings to bring gums back to health. Patients who need ongoing gum care can also join the Perio Wellness Plan for $599 a year.
Where did Dr. Lim train to become a dentist?
Dr. Lim earned his dental degree at Nova Southeastern University, after first completing a master's degree at Rutgers University. Since then he has logged more than 800 hours of continuing education, including coursework at the Kois Center. That training focused on dental implant surgery and cosmetic dentistry, both of which he performs in our office.
How often should my family come in for cleanings?
Most children and adults do well with a cleaning and exam every six months. Patients with gum disease often need cleanings more frequently, and Dr. Lim will recommend the right interval after your exam. Regular visits let the hygienist remove hardened buildup and let us catch small cavities while they are still easy to fix.
If you find a cavity at my checkup, what happens next?
Dr. Lim shows you the problem, often with intraoral photos, and explains your options. You then receive a custom treatment plan that lists the costs and, if you have PPO insurance, an estimate of what your plan should cover. You can then schedule the filling at a time that fits your week.
