About First Family Dental
First Family Dental operates on North Zaragoza Road in El Paso, Texas. A family dental practice sees a range of ages under one roof, which for most households means fewer separate appointments across different offices. It typically covers routine checkups and restorative treatment for both children and adults, with referrals out for anything requiring specialist training.
Affordable care means the practice sets out to make treatment accessible on a self-pay basis or through a payment arrangement, rather than assuming every patient arrives with comprehensive insurance. It is worth asking directly what options exist before assuming a needed treatment is out of reach.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

Dr. Ikem and his staff are absolutely wonderful. Every appointment they are cheerful and attentive to all my dental needs. I would definitely recommend to all my family and friends.
Best dental i have ever used
Highly recommend this place. We never have to wait long and my son loves his Dentist and all the staff!
I originally visited this dental office as a recommendation for my child who needed some dental work. Dr. Ikem as incredibly kind and patient to my 7 year old, taking the time to explain everything in a gentle and reassuring way.The visit went smoothly and my child felt comfortable the entire time. I have also had some work done at this dental office and have been extremely pleased with the service I receive. Dr. Ikem and staff, especially Daniela, are consistenty exceptional with their work. The office is welcoming, clean, and organized. I truly appreciate the care and attention I received and would highly recommend this dentist to anyone looking for quality dental care.
We have found our forever dentist! Since we got here 6 months ago we have been to two other dentists and neither of them felt right. First Family Dental felt right from the moment we walked in the door. Everyone that works there is amazing and we couldn't ask for a better dentist. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Never felt awkward. They took such good care of my children ages 7 and 11. They were able to get the dental work they needed done right away and I never heard a peep of discomfort. Things that I was told were issues with my teeth in the past by other dentists were quickly debunked by this dentist. I can't say enough good things and I will be continuing to come here and recommend them to everyone. Thank you First Family for such a great experience.
I had such a genuinely positive experience at this dental office that I felt it deserved a public thank-you. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was kind, welcoming, and respectful. Everything was explained clearly and transparently which immediately put me at ease. There was no pressure and no confusion, just honest communication. The doctor’s bedside manner truly stood out. Instead of rushing through the appointment, they took time to sit down and actually talk with me, answer my questions, and make sure I understood what was happening and why. I never felt hurried or dismissed, and that made a huge difference in my comfort level. Every dental assistant and hygienist I interacted with was gentle, patient, and genuinely caring. They checked in frequently, worked carefully, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit. It’s clear this team works well together and truly cares about their patients. With over 20 years of experience, the doctor brings a calm confidence that shows in every part of the visit. I believe that depth of experience contributes directly to the thoughtful, high-quality care they provide. I’m very grateful I found this office and will confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist who combines skill with compassion. Before you try other offices with thousands of reviews (which almost feels engineered) try this one.
I was an very anxious about my extractions last week but my dentist and staff reassured me, everything will be fine. They were attentive and really good at their profession. It was a good experience and very little pain to no pain. I recommend this establishment to keep your teeth health and clean 🪥 for you and your family!! Happy Holidays 🥰🤗
