Fun Facts

Dr. Sheperd was a patient of Dr. Scott’s in our Saginaw dental office and ultimately pursued dental school because of Dr. Scott’s influence.

He missed his college graduation to marry his wonderful wife, Darlene. The Sheperds have been blessed with two beautiful children and they hope to have more.

As the grandson of two veterans turned school teachers, Dr. Sheperd has long valued service and education. Growing up in Saginaw, Texas, he was a patient of Ballard Family Dentistry and was inspired to pursue a career in dentistry after seeing how Dr. Scott Ballard was able to dedicate himself so fully to serving both his family and his community.

He pursued service through his participation in the Boy Scouts of America, achieving his Eagle Scout rank. After graduating high school, he moved to Santa Maria Brazil to serve as a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. These two years of service were extremely formative for him. Upon returning to the United States, he studied at Brigham Young University, graduating with a BS in Neuroscience with a double-minor in Business and Family Life. He continued to practice my Portuguese through college and was granted a ACTFL Certificate with an Advanced Rating. (Preciso de mais oportunidades para praticar agora! Por favor, se você fala português, venha me conhecer)

Dr. Sheperd completed dental school at the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston. Pulling on his neuroscience background, he pursued research of arecoline, one of the most used psychoactive drugs. He also received additional training for Laser Dentistry, Sleep Medicine, and Dental Esthetics. Upon his graduation, he was awarded a recognition from the Academy of Laser Dentistry.

{Super nice office! Newly built and very spacious I wanna come. The building is so nice looking. It has a colonial plantation style feel. I always love visiting Ballard family dental Benbrook. The office staff and doctor are super nice and friendly. Tarah is the absolute best Assistant & Xiomydelis is an exceptional office manager. If you or your kiddos need an orthodontist. Bortnem Orthodontics next-door is fantastic as well. Have digital x-rays and digital teeth scanning capabilities.

My 86 year old Mom, who suffers from dementia, needed to have her dentures adjusted. Everyone there was so nice and patient with her. It took almost 2 hours, but we got there. Many thanks to Dr Sutton, Will and Tara – awesome! Jennifer and the front office were also very helpful.

My 1st visit was pleasant and professional , hats off to the entire staff ! Dr. Zach actually listened to me and tailored a plan to fit my specific needs, didn’t try to sell me any procedures that I was not interested in. They really do make you feel like family and create an awesome atmosphere. 5 stars ! Strongly recommend.

From walking in the door to walking out the door I was treated with kindness and respect. I have not been the best at my oral care and was not made to feel ashamed. A very understanding hygienist and the Dentist were just as good . Listened to my questions and concerns and made me feel comfortable.

This place is quality. I had a misunderstanding about their annual dental plan and was a little frustrated. They not only listened patiently, but took time to explain thoroughly what the misunderstanding was. They also were sure to honor as much as they could for what I thought I had. They are honest and good people. They work with families who are on a budget and don’t make you feel bad for not paying extra for services. I have ALWAYS loved the Dentist- he is AMAZING. Honest, helpful, gives you time, etc etc etc

I’ve been extremely pleased with my dental care provided by Dr. Dave Ballard. He is highly skilled and in addition an extremely kind and patient person. My most recent visit with the hygienist was excellent. Maria Rios was very professional and personable as well. During my visit she gave me lots of information that is really helpful. She took the time to take measures for my comfort. I’ve had many hygienists that I’ve liked and Maria is a stand out in every expectation. I highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Dave Ballard is an exceptional dentist. He has always talked with me about my options and takes the time to see how not only your teeth are doing but also how my family is doing. I have been going to his practice for over 18 years.

I went to Dr. Ballard to redo my veneers that were previously done by another dental practice. They were just never right. I hated my smile in pictures. Dr. Ballard was able to offer options/solutions to correct the problems. Today I have a beautiful smile and I’m so excited and happy with the results. It was painless, Dr. Ballard does not want his patients to be uncomfortable during any procedure. The hygienist and staff are fabulous! The lab Ballard uses is so meticulous, and worked hard to assure that I would love the results.

I’m am Dr. David Ballard’s # 1 fan!
