The Closest Highly Rated Dentist to Moody, Texas
If you live in Moody, TX, you already know that finding a dentist without driving all the way into Waco can be a challenge. Cross Creek Dental in Lorena is your nearest option for quality, comprehensive dental care — and at just about 15 minutes east on FM 107 and Highway 77, we're far more convenient than making the trip into the Waco metro.
Dr. Noe Chaparro built Cross Creek Dental to serve the communities south of Waco that are often overlooked by the big practices clustered in the city. Whether you need a simple cleaning or full dental implants, you'll find everything you need right here — without fighting Waco traffic.
What Makes Cross Creek the Right Choice for Moody Patients​
We're close.
Moody doesn't have a dental office in town, which means you're driving somewhere no matter what. Cross Creek is one of the shortest drives you can make to reach a full-service dental practice. We're located at 1199 Old Lorena Road in Lorena, just off Highway 77.
​
We're built on values you'll recognize.
Dr. Noe Chaparro traces his heritage to Mexico and Spain. His parents moved to the United States when he was just three, and his father instilled in him the belief that education is the most valuable thing you'll ever have. A childhood toothache introduced him to dentistry, and the positive experience left a mark that eventually led him to Texas A&M College of Dentistry.
After graduating, Dr. Chaparro moved to Waco — but quickly saw that too many practices had become more about the bottom line than about people. He chose to open his own practice in Lorena because the town reminded him of the community values he grew up with: neighbors who look out for each other, honest relationships, and doing things the right way. That same spirit is what Moody is all about, and it's exactly what you'll experience at Cross Creek.
"My hope and desire is to make dentistry as much a part of your life as it is mine. I want to cultivate an environment where people can come in and know they're getting the best treatment." — Dr. Chaparro
