Dr. Sandy McDougal

The stretch of Maplelawn Drive in Plano is lined with professional offices, most of them tucked into quiet, tree-shaded plazas. Among them is Dr. Sandy McDougal, a pediatric dental practice handling everything from first checkups to orthodontic prep. The suite number—103—hints at its place in a larger complex, though the address itself (400 Maplelawn Dr) sits just off Preston Road, making it easy to reach from either side of the city.

Pediatric dentistry often gets reduced to cavity fillings and fluoride treatments, but the scope here covers more ground. Cleanings, sealants, and early orthodontic assessments are part of the routine, along with the less glamorous but essential tasks like habit counseling (thumb-sucking, pacifier use) and emergency care for chipped or knocked-out teeth. Parents in Plano’s school districts—especially those with kids in Haggard Middle or Christie Elementary—will find the location convenient for after-school visits.

Logistics matter when coordinating a child’s appointment, so the practice keeps its contact details straightforward. Questions about insurance, sedation options, or scheduling siblings back-to-back? A call to (972) 612-2200 connects directly to the front desk. There’s no need to parse a website for hidden phone numbers; the line is listed clearly, as it should be for a place where last-minute concerns—like a loose tooth before picture day—aren’t uncommon.

First-time visitors can plot the route via directions here, though locals know the area well: it’s the same plaza with the dry cleaner and the lunch spot that always has a line out the door. If you’re coming from the tollway, exit Preston and head east—you’ll pass a bank and a cluster of medical buildings before you see the sign.
