Our Dentists & Team

The people who
treat you like
family.

Three dentists, a hygiene team you'll know by name, and a front desk that remembers yours. At Lake Highlands Dental we treat everyone like our best friends — or even family.

Meet your dentists

Three general and cosmetic dentists, one office, one shared standard: thorough, gentle, and explained clearly before anything begins.

Lead Dentist
Dr. Sajjad Ashnagar
Known to patients as "Dr. Ash"

Dr. Ash leads the practice with a calm, conservative philosophy: explain everything clearly, treat what needs treating, and never push procedures a patient doesn't need. Patients consistently single him out as "incredibly thorough and gentle."

Dr. Faisal Ladak
Restorative & treatment planning

Dr. Ladak builds the treatment plans patients actually finish — staged, affordable, and walked through step by step with the patient before anything begins. Recent reviews credit him for plans that "feel hopeful and pleased" rather than overwhelming.

The rest of the team you'll meet

The faces behind the front desk, the cleanings, and the treatment coordination. Patients name them by first name in their reviews — and they remember yours.

P
Penni
Dental Hygienist

"Penni has been my hygienist for many years and she takes very good care of my teeth." Patients book around her schedule for a reason.

M
Misty
Dental Hygienist

Recent reviews praise Misty for being "awesome and gentle" during cleanings — and for the kind of small talk that makes a visit feel short.

A
Ana
Treatment Coordinator

Ana walks every patient through their plan in plain language before treatment starts — so the conversation about cost and timing happens up front, not at the front desk.

D
Donna
Front Desk · Insurance

"Donna greets me and takes care of all the insurance and she is so friendly!" If you've ever waited on hold with a dental insurer, you'll appreciate her.

Hablamos español

"If you don't speak perfect English, it's not a problem — there's always someone who can help you in Spanish." Recent patient review, March 2026.

How this team works

Three dentists, two hygienists, a treatment coordinator and a front desk — every one of them named in patient reviews. The standard is the same across every chair: explain it, never rush it, treat you the way we'd want our own family treated.

See the services we offer
Thorough, never rushed

Patients describe cleanings here as some of the most comfortable they've ever had. We don't run a conveyor belt.

Plans you understand

Treatment is mapped out and walked through in plain English before anything starts. No surprise line items.

Ages 2 and up

A full family practice — your kids' first cleaning and your parents' implants under the same roof.

Here when it hurts

Same-day dental emergencies and after-hours appointments are available — call (214) 613-1279.

"I had such a great experience at Lake Highlands Dental. From the moment I walked in the staff was very welcoming and kind. Dr. Ash is incredibly thorough and gentle. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions. The hygienist and assistants are just as wonderful. My cleaning was one of the most comfortable I've ever had."

"I never thought going to the dentist could be such a wonderful experience. The entire administrative team, Dr. Ash, and all of the doctors are amazing. I've had several treatments done here (implants, extractions, and cleanings), and every experience has been excellent. What I really appreciate is that they care not only about the aesthetics of your smile, but also about the overall health of your teeth."
