A Mission Born From Personal Experience

Struggling to get a restful night’s sleep is stressful enough without feeling like you have to navigate the solutions all on your own. Dr. Stephanie Bangs understands this frustration on a deeply personal level because her own son faced significant airway issues seventeen years ago. Living through the confusion of trying to find answers without a clear path or a reliable support system completely shifted her perspective. That vulnerable season ultimately shaped her core mission, which is to ensure no patient or parent ever feels that same sense of being lost.

Your Guide to Better Breathing

Having grown up right here in Arlington, Dr. Bangs intentionally built her practice to serve the community she loves. Her journey began long before dental school, inspired by her childhood dentist as she worked her way from the front desk into a clinical assisting role. Today, she carries that lifelong passion forward by treating every child and adult with the exact same level of urgency and care she once desperately wanted for her own family.

  • Airway Expertise: With 17 years in practice and the last dozen heavily dedicated to airway dentistry, she provides specialized care you can trust.
  • Relief for Adults: We help you achieve the restful, uninterrupted sleep you have been missing so you can finally wake up feeling completely refreshed.
  • Focus for Children: Effective airway therapy often translates directly to increased focus, a reduction in teeth grinding, and noticeable improvements in school performance.
  • Anxiety-Free Care: She purposefully takes the time to understand your past dental anxieties, working diligently to earn your trust and guide you comfortably toward a healthier smile.

Education & Life Outside the Office

Dr. Bangs completed her undergraduate training at Baylor University before earning her Doctorate of Dental Surgery at Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas. When she steps away from mentoring her team, she loves exploring the local community with friends, leading worship at Gospel City Church, and relaxing with her husband, son, and daughter.

Dr. Fritz and her staff are excellent! Dr. Fritz gave me two fillings and they are so perfect you can't even see them. The dental hygienist is excellent as well – very gentle, thorough, and great results. She and her staff are very caring & professional. 10 out of 10 I do recommend!

I often get anxious before dentist appointments but this office was incredible. From beginning to finish everyone was friendly and professional. I was offered blankets, headphones and sunglasses to help me have a more pleasant experience. I love the way the Dr. explained why he was recommended what I needed and took his time to be thorough. So glad to have found this place.
