Convenient Access from Stafford
Stafford residents, and the many people who commute into the city each weekday, are about 8 minutes from Bradfield Dental on Parkway Blvd in Sugar Land. As a dentist Stafford, TX, professionals can see before their own workday starts, we begin appointments at 8:00 AM Monday through Thursday. Four dentists cover cleanings, whitening, clear aligners, crowns and more under one roof. One of them, Dr. Steve Ragsdale, is fluent in Spanish.
From Stafford City Hall at 2610 S Main Street, drive west on Main Street, which is US 90A, as it crosses into Sugar Land. Turn left on Dairy Ashford Rd and follow it south to the US 59 / I-69 frontage road, then continue southwest to Parkway Blvd. The total distance is close to 4.9 miles, with no toll roads along the way.
Our address is 1606 Parkway Blvd, Sugar Land, TX 77478, and you can open it in Google Maps for live directions. We also welcome patients from neighboring Missouri City and the Riverbend neighborhood.
A Dental Office That Works Around Stafford's Workday
Stafford is often described as a bedroom community, yet its commercial base draws far more people on a weekday than live there. US 59 / I-69 cuts across the northwest side of this Fort Bend County city, Main Street carries US 90A through its center, and Houston Community College runs its Stafford campus on Cash Road. For many people, the city is where the workday happens, which makes timing the biggest factor in choosing a dentist.
That is where early hours help. A cleaning at 8:00 AM can wrap up before a morning meeting, and the drive back east afterward is short. We see patients until 5:00 PM Monday through Wednesday and until 3:00 PM on Thursday, with the office closed Friday through Sunday.
The city has a strong sense of place despite its business focus. Stafford incorporated in 1956, and the Margaret Havens Historical Memorial Garden adds roses and a fountain beside City Hall. The City of Stafford also runs Stafford City Park with its ball fields and pavilion, plus Gordon Fountain Lake Park with a lighted jogging trail.
Families here have their own rhythm too. Stafford Municipal School District, the only municipal school district in Texas, serves the entire city. Children can come in for cleanings, fluoride treatment and sealants on their molars, and parents can schedule their own checkups at the same practice so the household stays on one set of records.
Smile Concerns We Hear from Busy Professionals
Client meetings and video calls put your smile on display all day. Coffee and tea stains, a small chip or slightly crooked front teeth can all feel more noticeable under those conditions. Each of these concerns has conservative options that fit around a work calendar.
Professional whitening with Opalescence brightens enamel without changing the shape of your teeth. Bonding can repair a chip, often in a single visit. For crowding or gaps, SureSmile clear aligners straighten teeth without the brackets and wires that many adults would rather avoid.
Planning starts digitally. Our advanced technology includes an intraoral scanner that records your teeth without impression trays, which improves the fit of aligners, crowns and bridges. Digital x-rays appear on screen within seconds and use up to 90% less radiation than film.
Urgent problems rarely wait for a convenient moment. A cracked tooth or a sudden ache during the workweek calls for a prompt look, and new patients can book our $59 emergency exam and x-rays to find out what is wrong. The office strives to fit emergency patients into the schedule, and the exam ends with clear treatment recommendations.
The Stafford Centre, the city's performing arts theater and convention center, hosts events where a confident smile matters. Whether you are presenting at a conference or simply catching a show, healthy teeth are part of feeling ready.
Cosmetic and Everyday Care from a Dentist Stafford, TX, Workers Can Reach
SureSmile® Clear Aligners
Clear, removable aligners are made from a digital scan, and you switch to a new set every couple of weeks. They suit teens and adults alike. You can take them out for meals and important presentations.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Bonding, Opalescence professional whitening and porcelain veneers can each refresh a smile. A smile makeover combines several of them into one plan. We start by listening to what you want to change.

Cleanings, exams, digital x-rays and oral cancer screenings keep problems small and visits short. Adults who clench during stressful workdays can be fitted for a custom nightguard. Children receive fluoride and sealants.
Crowns & Bridges
A crown restores a cracked or worn tooth, while a bridge replaces a missing one. Digital impressions help each restoration fit well. Traditional, cantilever and implant-supported bridges are all available.
Meet Our Dentists
Dr. Steve Ragsdale earned his DDS from UT Health Science Center at San Antonio in 2016 and completed an AEGD residency the following year. He provides in-house oral surgery and IV sedation, and Spanish-speaking patients can talk through their care with him in their own language. He works with three other dentists and our experienced staff.
Insurance, Membership & Financing
Patients without insurance can join an in-house membership plan that includes cleanings, exams, routine x-rays and one emergency exam, plus 20% off procedures. New patients weighing larger cosmetic work can also book a free consultation and second opinion with rough cost estimates. Both make it easier to plan treatment around a budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Bradfield Dental from Stafford, and how do I get there?
From Stafford City Hall, the office is about 4.9 miles away, or roughly 8 minutes by car. Head west on Main Street (US 90A), go south on Dairy Ashford Rd and follow the US 59 / I-69 frontage road to Parkway Blvd. Anyone wanting a dentist Stafford, TX, workers can reach quickly will find no tolls on this route.
Do you use digital impressions instead of impression trays?
Yes, we use an intraoral scanner to capture digital impressions, so there are no trays or impression material. The scan builds an accurate 3D model of your teeth for crowns, bridges and SureSmile aligners, and it improves how well they fit. Most people find it far easier to sit through than the old putty method.
What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth, while a crown covers the entire tooth. Veneers are mainly cosmetic and suit chipped, stained or slightly uneven front teeth. Crowns add strength to a tooth that is cracked, heavily filled or treated with a root canal, so the choice depends on the tooth's condition.
Are clear aligners an option for adults?
Yes, SureSmile clear aligners are designed for adults as well as teens. They are made from a digital scan of your teeth, and you change to a new set every couple of weeks. Because they are clear and removable, you can take them out for meals and brushing, then slip them back in.
Can I straighten and whiten my teeth at the same practice?
Yes, we offer both SureSmile clear aligners and Opalescence professional whitening. Straightening first and whitening afterward helps the final shade look even across teeth that have moved. Our dentists can combine the two in a smile makeover, along with bonding or porcelain veneers if a tooth also needs reshaping.
