The short answer
We joined The Colony Chamber of Commerce, which now means we are members in Frisco, The Colony, and Little Elm. It is membership rather than an award and we would rather be straight about that. The practical reason for joining is that The Colony is ten to fifteen minutes up FM 423 from our office and a meaningful share of our patients live there.
We’re proud to announce that Tribute Family Dentistry has officially joined The Colony Chamber of Commerce. For those of you who’ve been in our chair, this probably isn’t a surprise, a large share of our patient base already comes from The Colony and the surrounding neighborhoods along the FM 423 corridor. Joining the chamber is simply us making official what’s already true on the ground: we serve this community, and we want to show up for it in more than just the clinical sense.
Our address reads Frisco, Texas, but anyone who lives out here knows the map doesn’t match how people actually live and drive. Our office sits at 5605 FM 423, Suite 600-B, a stone’s throw from the Tribute peninsula, which is a narrow strip of land jutting south into Lewisville Lake. Tribute is technically part of The Colony, not Frisco. So even though our sign says “Frisco dentist,” we’re the closest family dental office for thousands of homes inside The Colony city limits.

Why The Colony, and Why Now
The Colony Chamber has been a fixture in this part of Denton County for decades. Their stated mission is to support local businesses and build community through education, collaboration, and advocacy, and from what we’ve seen of their programming (weekly networking Wednesdays, ribbon cuttings, educational workshops, and a genuinely active ambassador program), they deliver on it.
We already belonged to the Frisco Chamber of Commerce and the Little Elm Chamber of Commerce. Adding The Colony felt overdue. Here’s the honest reason: if you pull our new-patient data for the last twelve months, a meaningful percentage of our families list a 75056 ZIP code, that’s The Colony, including the Tribute peninsula. Another cluster comes from The Tribute master-planned community specifically, which sits along the lake and is geographically closer to our office than it is to most of the dental offices inside The Colony city proper.
The short version: we belong in this chamber because our patients do.
Neighborhoods We Serve Along the FM 423 Corridor
Our location puts us within a short drive of several of the area’s most established neighborhoods:
The Geography No Map App Tells You About
If you’ve lived here for any length of time, you’ve probably had this conversation: “Wait, is that Frisco or The Colony?” The boundary in this part of the metroplex is genuinely confusing. FM 423 runs north–south along the west side of Lewisville Lake, and as you drive down it, the city lines weave in and out in a way that defies the usual grid logic of North Texas.
Our building is on the Frisco side of a line that matters for mail delivery and property tax records, but for everything else that affects a family’s day-to-day life (where your kids go to school, which grocery store is closest, which park you walk the dog at), the line is irrelevant. When a family in Tribute asks Siri for the nearest dentist, we come up. When a family in Stewart Peninsula or Austin Waters looks for a family dental practice on this side of the lake, we’re often the closest option that accepts their insurance and sees kids.
That’s why chamber membership matters to us. It’s a way of saying: we know where you actually live, and we’re showing up in the civic life of the community you belong to.
We moved to The Tribute in 2022 and spent almost a year driving back to our old dentist in Plano because we figured nothing would beat her. Then our youngest had a weekend emergency, cracked a tooth on a popcorn kernel, and Tribute Dentistry got us in Monday morning. The staff remembered our names at our next cleaning. They explained the insurance stuff without the usual hand-waving. My kids don’t dread appointments anymore. We should’ve switched the day we unpacked the moving truck.

What Our Chamber Neighbors Should Know About Us
If you found this post through The Colony Chamber directory and we’re new to you, here’s the quick overview of what we actually do. Tribute Family Dentistry is a general and family practice. We see patients from toddlers through grandparents, our children’s dentistry practice is one of the busiest in the area, and we’ve built our complete adult dentistry program around the full range of needs most families run into across a lifetime.
A few things worth knowing:
Modern Technology, No Shortcuts
We use intraoral scanners and in-office 3D printing for accuracy and faster turnarounds on appliances and models, but we don’t chase every trend. What we use, we’ve chosen deliberately.
Orthodontic Referrals Next Door
When a patient needs orthodontic care, we refer next door to our sister practice, Elate Orthodontics, a specialty practice with over 1,000 five-star reviews.
Smile Savings Plan
No insurance? Our in-house membership plan is $360/year per adult and covers two cleanings, two exams, one emergency exam, fluoride, and full X-rays. No deductibles, no claim forms.
Cosmetic & Restorative Work
From take-home whitening kits to non-invasive veneers and dental bonding, we focus on conservative approaches that preserve natural tooth structure wherever possible.
What This Means Going Forward
Joining a chamber of commerce shouldn’t be a passive thing. Our intention is to actually participate, attend the Wednesday networking events where we can, support Colony small businesses where it makes sense, and look for ways our team can contribute to local causes. If you’re a fellow chamber member reading this and you have ideas about what a family dental practice can realistically contribute to The Colony community, our door is genuinely open. Email us, walk in, flag us down at a ribbon cutting.
We’re not treating this as a marketing checkbox. Kevin (Dr. Baharvand) and the team have been serving patients from The Colony for years. Making it formal matters.

Common questions
Why did you join The Colony Chamber?
A substantial share of our patients live in The Colony, which is ten to fifteen minutes up FM 423. Being part of the business community there reflects where our patients actually come from.
Is Chamber membership an award?
No. It is membership in a local business organisation. It says we are part of the business community, not that anyone evaluated our clinical work.
How far is your office from The Colony?
Ten to fifteen minutes for most of the town, a straight run north on FM 423 to 5605 FM 423, Suite 600-B.
Do you offer orthodontics in The Colony?
Yes, through our sister practice. Elate Orthodontics has an office in The Colony itself, so braces and aligners do not require the drive to Frisco.
Coming from The Colony?
Ten to fifteen minutes up 423. Book an exam and cleaning, ask for siblings back to back, and get the estimate in writing before anything is scheduled.

About Tribute Family Dentistry
200+ five-star Google reviews • Family owned and independent • D Magazine Best Dentist 2026 • Living Magazine Readers' Choice 2026 • Se habla espanol
Tribute is a family owned, independent practice on FM 423 in Frisco. I own it with my wife, Dr. Julia Kang, DMD, MS. We both trained at Boston University and we are both members of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon national honor society. I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. Day to day, most patients and their kids see Dr. Christina Pham, DMD, our general and family dentist, and oral surgery is handled by Dr. David Roberts, DDS, who has been doing it for more than 35 years.
We handle the whole family in one place: cleanings and preventive care, fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, root canals, extractions and wisdom teeth, whitening, night guards, and emergency visits. Open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
If you need braces or clear aligners, that is the other side of what we do. Elate Orthodontics, our sister practice, treats kids, teens, and adults out of three offices in Frisco and The Colony.
