Ed Menton

Oral surgery often sits at the intersection of necessity and precision, where routine extractions meet more complex procedures like jaw realignment or dental implant placement. In Arlington’s Mitchell Street corridor, this kind of specialized care doesn’t require a trip to downtown Fort Worth—it’s handled closer to home, near the quiet stretch where residential blocks give way to professional offices. The area itself is a mix of mid-century storefronts and newer developments, the kind of place where you might pass a taqueria on the way to an appointment and a hardware store on the way back.

Ed Menton’s practice occupies a spot at 847 W Mitchell St, a location that’s as central to south Arlington as it is to the broader Tarrant County area. Oral surgeons here address the kind of issues that general dentists refer out: impacted wisdom teeth that refuse to emerge on their own, bone grafts preparing for implants, or corrective surgeries for misaligned jaws. There’s no flashy signage or grand entrance—just a straightforward address where the work speaks for itself. The building shares its block with the kind of low-key businesses that locals rely on daily, from auto shops to family-owned cafés.

Scheduling a consultation or procedure starts with a call to (817) 265-3159, where the details—insurance, pre-op instructions, recovery timelines—get sorted without detours. For those mapping out the visit, the directions plot a route that’s easier than navigating the medical district’s one-way streets. Around here, people tend to mention it in the same breath as the nearby HEB or the old movie theater—just another place that’s part of the neighborhood’s rhythm.
