CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF BUSINESSES THE 2022

LETTER to our readers

As 2022 draws to a close, we want to take a moment to appreciate all the remarkable growth we saw in Denton County. This year has been incredible for our vibrant community, and we’re so grateful to have been a part of it. Local companies had to step up their game in 2022, and those who did witnessed exceptional growth. Moreover, so many exciting new local businesses emerged this year, and we can’t wait to see what is in store for 2023.

It takes a lot of work, patience, and dedication to be an entrepreneur, and quick wins are uncommon. A successful business is the result of providing excellent products and caring for consumers, staff, and the community. Our community would not be as robust without the support of the many local companies you see in this publication, so please remember them whenever you shop. We ask that you take a moment to congratulate these companies and know that you may contact them with your full trust as you utilize our list for all your purchasing needs throughout the coming year. We believe that supporting local businesses is one way we can help our lively community and give back to others who impact our cities and towns. Since 2004, the Best of Denton County Directory has highlighted local companies that provide exceptional customer service and are dedicated to bettering our community. The Best of Denton

County is not a readers’ choice award like most other “BEST OF” publications, where the magazine chooses its top three advertisers and lets readers vote for their favorites. Our award truly is a “Best Of” because we let the residents nominate and vote for their favorite local companies online for a month. Once the nomination period ends, the top three companies in each category are added to the finalist ballot so Denton County can select their favorite local business. Our award selection procedure makes winning Best of Denton County a highly distinguished, sought-after, and recognized achievement in our county.

Murray Media is proud to provide the residents of Denton County with this one-of-a-kind directory that recognizes the tireless hard work each company dedicates to the community. Our magazine’s mission is to highlight the county’s premiere businesses as well as their enthusiastic, dedicated owners and employees so that you may take advantage of the county’s BEST products and services.

Sincerely,

Scott & Kelly Murray

He kept saying, ‘I think you’re going to like him.’ Once we finally met, I immediately saw how honest and genuine he was.”

DFW Oral — a Best of Denton County winner in two categories this year — has long been known for working tirelessly to be at the forefront of every major technological advancement and procedural adjustment to make your next trip to the doctor as comfortable as possible. This includes using biologic materials proven to limit discomfort and promote faster healing so you can enjoy your new smile faster. Dr. Shillingburg is a board-certifi ed oral and maxillofacial surgeon trained and credentialed in dentoalveolar surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, implant surgery, orthognathic surgery, facial reconstructive oral surgery, and dental anesthesiology. He holds membership with the American Dental Association and is a Diplomate of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology and American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Dr. Shillingburg and Dr. Castillo spare no expense in order to surround themselves with top-of-the-line technology that create seamless results. The facility is a true outpatient surgery center capable of treating any mouth and jaw condition. In addition to their wonderful surgical assistants, they’ve also added Lauren Meeske BSN-RN to the staff to give patients the absolute best care possible. With two oral and maxillofacial surgeons now under the same roof, patients can expect the same great care at a faster pace.

“We’ve always made time for emergency care, but for many of our routine patients, we are sometimes booking weeks to months out to get patients in,” Dr. Shillingburg said. “Having Dr. Castillo here allows our practice to get them in quicker. That’s important because when you have an oral surgery issue, it’s typically something that needs to be addressed quickly. It’s not something anyone wants to put off for a later date.”

Dr. Castillo agreed. “Patient care is important to both of us. It’s nice to sit with someone and know immediately that you are on the same page.”

Many of us take our oral and dental health for granted, and the consequences can be overwhelming when we are suddenly faced with severe problems. Having doctors like John Shillingburg and Lico Castillo in your corner (and mouth) is lifesaving.

DFW Oral Surgeons is proud to serve residents of Argyle, Bartonville, Highland Village, Lantana, Double Oak, South Denton, Denton County, and the surrounding areas. Their facility is conveniently located on the west side of Long Prairie Road between College Parkway and Cross Timbers Road.
