Dr. Stephen C. Walters, DDS

Oral surgery offices in Arlington often blend into the stretch of professional buildings along I-20, but Dr. Stephen C. Walters, DDS occupies a third-floor suite at 2200 I-20 Frontage Rd #300. This isn’t the kind of practice you’d stumble upon while running errands; it’s tucked above the highway’s immediate hustle, where the focus narrows to procedures like wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, and corrective jaw surgery. The area itself is a mix of medical plazas and commercial strips, the kind of place where function outweighs frills—appropriate for a specialty that deals more with X-rays than ambiance.

Surgeons in this field tend to handle cases that general dentists refer out: impacted teeth that refuse to emerge, bone grafts preparing for implants, or the occasional trauma repair after an accident. While the frontage road address suggests easy highway access, the third-floor location means elevators—or stairs—for anyone arriving in person. It’s a detail worth noting only because oral surgery isn’t the sort of appointment you’d want to tackle without planning; recovery often involves more than just a follow-up call.

The phone line here fields questions that range from pre-op instructions to post-surgical concerns, a necessary bridge when the work involves anesthesia or stitches. For direct contact, the number connects to the office staff: 817-468-1234. Calls like these usually cover logistics—what to avoid eating beforehand, how long swelling might last—or confirm whether a referral from another dentist is required before scheduling.

Finding the building is simpler with a map, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the Frontage Road exits near Collins St. The directions linked here pinpoint the entrance, though first-time visitors might still want to arrive early. Oral surgery waits for no one, after all.
