Since you’re in Crestview, I’d look for a pediatric/family practice that is both close enough for repeat visits and specifically experienced with fillings—not just routine cleanings.

My shortlist

• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — 1005 W 38th St, very convenient from Crestview. They specifically provide tooth-colored fillings and other restorative care. Recent Austin-parent discussions describe Dr. Daniel Johnson as particularly patient with anxious kids and conservative about treatment. Reddit
• Smiles of Austin — 1910 W 35th St, another very convenient central option. They do pediatric restorative work including tooth-colored fillings and emphasize comfort/rapport with children.
• Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — in Mueller, 3607 Manor Rd. They explicitly offer fillings, crowns and pulp therapy, and say they prioritize being on time and offer block scheduling for families with multiple children—potentially useful since you have two kids needing treatment.
• Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC — in Four Points, farther from Crestview but particularly worth considering if gentleness is your top priority. Their current reviews include parents describing the team as exceptionally gentle, quick and reassuring during fillings; the practice has board-certified pediatric dentists. Trustindex.io

For your particular combination of “efficient + gentle + two kids needing fillings,” I’d call Central Park first. It's close to Crestview, does the restorative work you need, and there is specific parent discussion about patience with nervous children and avoiding unnecessary treatment. That's not a claim that they're objectively the best—just that their documented fit lines up well with what you're looking for. Reddit

One thing I'd ask when you call: “Can you schedule both children for their fillings on the same day, and do you normally complete fillings in one visit?” That will tell you a lot about whether the office is genuinely efficient for a family with two kids.

If you tell me their ages and roughly where in Crestview you are (e.g., near Burnet/Anderson or closer to 2222), I can narrow this to 2–3 offices within about a 10–15 minute drive and compare reviews, insurance, filling approach, and appointment availability.

• Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics - 1900 Aldrich St Ste 160, Austin, TX 78723, United States

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood in North Austin, I’d look at pediatric dentists rather than a general family dentist for two children who already need fillings. Pediatric specialists are specifically trained in restorative treatment and keeping kids comfortable during procedures.

Based on current reviews and what the practices say they offer, these would be the ones I’d call:

• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — 1005 W 38th St. This is particularly convenient from Crestview. They do pediatric fillings/restorative work, and their reviews emphasize a gentle, patient approach. A recent local parent discussion also specifically mentioned using them when a child needed fillings and praised the dentist's patience with an anxious child. Reddit
• Loving Pediatric Dentistry — 7800 N Mopac Expy. Another very convenient North Austin option. Their feedback consistently emphasizes patience, calm explanations and anxiety-sensitive care, while they provide restorative treatment as well.
• Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — 3607 Manor Rd. A locally owned pediatric practice in Mueller offering restorative care, with pediatric training that includes restorative dentistry and sedation when appropriate.
• Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — 11149 Research Blvd. Northwest Austin; specifically noted for restorative/cavity care and for being gentle with anxious kids.

If efficiency is especially important

I’d call Central Park and Loving first and ask whether they can schedule both children for their exams/treatment planning and, if appropriate, complete the fillings in the same visit or in consecutive appointments. That can make a big difference when you have two kids needing restorative work.

One other option worth knowing about is Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC. Their recent parent feedback is unusually strong on staff being quick and reassuring during actual dental procedures; one recent review specifically described a child getting multiple fillings and the team being very quick and attentive. Trustindex.io

If you tell me the kids' ages and whether you're looking for a dentist near Crestview specifically (e.g. within 10–15 minutes), I can narrow this to 2–3 offices and compare their distance, reviews, filling/sedation approach, insurance, and current appointment availability.

• Tiny Texans Pediatric Dentistry - 11200 Menchaca Rd Bldg 4 Ste 1, Austin, TX 78748, United States

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood in North Austin, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist for two children who already need fillings. Pediatric dentists have additional training in children’s behavior, comfort, and restorative care.

My top picks

• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice for your situation. It’s centrally located at 38th & Lamar, so it’s quite convenient from Crestview. They specifically provide pediatric restorative work, including tooth-colored fillings, and have board-certified pediatric dentists. There’s also recent Austin-parent discussion specifically praising Dr. Daniel Johnson for being patient with anxious children and taking a conservative approach to fillings. Reddit
• Loving Pediatric Dentistry — another excellent North Austin option, particularly if your kids are nervous about dental work. The practice emphasizes anxiety-sensitive, child-centered care and restorative dentistry. Its 4.9 rating from 59 reviews is also encouraging.
• Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — a good Mueller-area choice. They have pediatric specialists with training in restorative dentistry and sedation, so they're worth considering if either child is especially apprehensive or needs more extensive work.
• Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC — farther west in Four Points, but I'd put it on the shortlist if gentleness and getting kids through treatment comfortably are your biggest priorities. Recent reviews specifically mention very smooth filling experiences and staff who make children comfortable. Trustindex.io

If you want the most efficient option

Central Park Pediatric Dentistry would be my starting call. If both kids need fillings, I'd ask whether they can schedule their restorative appointments back-to-back or on the same day and whether the dentist routinely handles multiple fillings in one visit when appropriate.

One other option worth knowing about is Austin Kids Teeth in Southwest Austin. They explicitly offer pediatric fillings and nitrous oxide for children who need help relaxing, and their current reviews include parents describing the team as exceptionally quick, gentle, and reassuring during fillings. Austin Kids Teeth Trustindex.io

If you tell me roughly how old the two kids are and whether either is anxious about the dentist, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices for fillings specifically—and check which ones are likely to be most convenient from Crestview.

If you mean Crestview in North Austin, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist for two children who already need fillings. For restorative work, the combination of gentle behavior management + pediatric experience + efficient scheduling matters.

My top picks

One I'd particularly investigate

Austin Pediatric Dentistry also caught my attention. Their recent parent reviews are unusually specific to your situation: one parent said both children were comfortable, while another described a child needing multiple fillings and said the dentist and staff were quick and present, making the procedure go very smoothly. Trustindex.io

If your priority is “get both kids' fillings done efficiently, but don't traumatize them in the process,” I'd call Loving Pediatric Dentistry and Austin Pediatric Dentistry first.

One thing I'd ask when you call: “We have two children who both need fillings. Can you schedule their restorative appointments close together or on the same day, and do you routinely do fillings with nitrous oxide if a child is nervous?” That will tell you a lot about both their efficiency and their approach to anxious kids.

If you tell me the kids' ages and roughly how far you're willing to drive from Crestview, I can narrow this to the 3 best choices and compare their reviews, distance, insurance/payment situation, and approach to fillings/sedation.

If you mean Crestview in North Austin, I’d prioritize a pediatric dentist who does a lot of fillings rather than a general family dentist. For two kids needing restorative work, gentleness + efficiency + the ability to treat both children in coordinated visits matters a lot.

One I'd especially consider for fillings

Austin Pediatric Dentistry has some very encouraging recent feedback. Parents describe the team as quick, gentle and reassuring during fillings, and recent reviews specifically mention children being comfortable through cavity treatment. Trustindex.io

Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC is in Four Points, though, so it's a longer drive from Crestview.

If these were my kids, I'd call Central Park first and Loving second. If getting both children treated efficiently in as few visits as possible is the overriding concern, I'd put Rising Stars in the mix.

One thing I'd ask when you call: “Can you schedule both children for their fillings on the same day, and how do you handle nervous kids who need fillings?” That will tell you a lot about both their scheduling efficiency and their approach to restorative work.

If you tell me your kids' ages, whether they're nervous about dentists, and what dental insurance you have, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best choices near Crestview that are likely to fit your situation.

My top picks

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice for you

• Very convenient to Crestview: 1005 W 38th St, roughly a short drive south of Crestview.
• 4.9★ locally with 100+ reviews.
• Specifically handles pediatric restorative work, including tooth-colored fillings.
• What particularly caught my attention: parents describe the practice as patient and respectful with anxious kids, and there are reports of Dr. Daniel Johnson taking a conservative approach rather than automatically recommending fillings. Reddit
• Best fit if your priority is gentle + conservative + experienced with fillings.
• Loving Pediatric Dentistry

• At 7800 N MoPac, so it's also quite accessible from Crestview.
• 4.9★ locally.
• Pediatric-only practice offering fillings, crowns and sedation when appropriate.
• I'd consider this particularly if one of your kids is nervous or has had a difficult dental experience.

• They also offer a broad range of pediatric restorative treatment, so they're equipped if a cavity turns out to be deeper than initially expected.

One I'd especially consider if "gentle" is the #1 priority

Minimint Pediatric Dentistry has a very appealing minimally invasive philosophy: they specifically emphasize preserving healthy tooth structure and offer tooth-colored fillings, nitrous oxide and alternatives such as Curodont for appropriate early lesions. Minimint Pediatric Dentistry Minimint Pediatric Dentistry Dr. Robus' recent reviews repeatedly mention her being calm, gentle and good at explaining things to children. Zocdoc Zocdoc

The downside for you is location: it's in South Austin, so I'd probably choose one of the North/Central Austin options unless you particularly like their approach.

What I'd do in your shoes

I'd call Central Park Pediatric Dentistry and Smiles of Austin first and ask:

“We have two children who have been told they need fillings. We're looking for a dentist who is very gentle but also efficient with restorative appointments. Do you routinely do multiple fillings in one visit, and can you schedule both children close together?”

I'd also ask whether they can review the existing X-rays before requiring a completely new diagnostic appointment. That can make a surprisingly big difference in getting two kids treated efficiently.

My ranking for your particular priorities: Central Park Pediatric Dentistry → Smiles of Austin → Loving Pediatric Dentistry.

If you tell me the kids' ages, roughly how many fillings each needs, and whether either one is anxious about dental work, I can narrow this to the single practice I'd pick and compare distance from Crestview, reviews specifically mentioning fillings, sedation options, and insurance/payment considerations.

If by Crestview you mean the North Austin/Crestview neighborhood, I’d prioritize a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist for two kids who already need fillings. For restorative work, the combination of speed, behavior management, and experience doing fillings on children matters quite a bit.

My top picks

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice for your situation

This would be my starting point. It’s close to Crestview in Central Austin, has board-certified pediatric dentists, and specifically does restorative work including tooth-colored fillings and crowns.

What particularly stands out is the feedback around not overtreating and being patient with anxious children. An Austin parent described Dr. Daniel Johnson as patient and respectful and specifically said he took a conservative approach when another dentist had recommended fillings. www.reddit.com

2. Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC — best if you value efficiency

This is farther northwest, in Four Points, so less convenient than Central Park, but the practice has a strong reputation for low-stress, kid-centered care and getting children seen promptly. Recent reviews specifically mention children having fillings completed smoothly and quickly. www.trustindex.io

3. Loving Pediatric Dentistry — excellent option for nervous kids

At 7800 N. Mopac, this is another reasonably convenient North Austin option. They specifically provide restorative care, including tooth-colored fillings and crowns, and offer sedation-supported care when appropriate.

One thing I'd ask before booking

Because both kids need fillings, I'd call and ask:

“We have two children who need restorative fillings. We're looking for a dentist who is gentle but efficient and can ideally coordinate their appointments. Do you routinely do multiple pediatric fillings in one visit, and what comfort options do you use?”

I'd also ask whether they can schedule both children close together or back-to-back. That can make a surprisingly big difference for a family.

If you meant Crestview, Florida rather than the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, tell me and I'll narrow this down to dentists actually near you rather than Austin proper.

What I'd do

For two kids who already need fillings, I'd call Central Park Pediatric Dentistry first, then Loving Pediatric Dentistry as the backup. Central Park seems like the best combination of pediatric expertise + restorative work + gentle/conservative treatment, while Loving is particularly appealing if either child is nervous about dental work.

When you call, I'd specifically ask:

“Both of my children need fillings. Can you schedule their restorative appointments efficiently, ideally close together, and does the dentist routinely do fillings on anxious children without sedation?”

Also ask whether they use nitrous oxide, whether parents can stay with the child, and whether they can do multiple fillings in one visit when appropriate.

If by Crestview you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, I can also narrow this down to the 3 closest offices and compare driving distance, ratings, insurance acceptance, and which one has the strongest reviews specifically for fillings.

If you tell me your kids’ ages, whether the fillings are on baby teeth or permanent teeth, and whether either child is anxious about dentists, I can narrow this down further.

• Tiny Texans Pediatric Dentistry - 11200 Menchaca Rd Bldg 4 Ste 1, Austin, TX 78748, United States

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a practice that’s reasonably close but, more importantly, has a strong track record with children who actually need fillings rather than just routine cleanings.

My top picks

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice for restorative work

• Central Austin, at 1005 W. 38th St., so it’s particularly convenient from Crestview.
• They specifically do pediatric restorative dentistry, including tooth-colored fillings and crowns.
• I found especially encouraging parent feedback about Dr. Daniel Johnson being patient with anxious children and taking a conservative approach. One Austin parent specifically described switching there when their child needed fillings. Reddit
• Best fit if: you want gentle, conservative treatment and don't want the kids rushed through the process.
• Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC — best if efficiency is a major priority

• Four Points, so farther from Crestview, but this practice has unusually strong feedback around being quick and kid-friendly.
• Recent parent reviews specifically mention their children having fillings done smoothly and quickly, and the practice says it offers family block scheduling. Trustindex.io
• Best fit if: you have two kids who both need treatment and would like to coordinate appointments efficiently.
• Loving Pediatric Dentistry — strong all-around option

• Northwest Austin near MoPac, making it a fairly reasonable drive from Crestview.
• They specifically handle fillings and crowns and offer sedation-supported care when appropriate.
• Best fit if: one of your kids is particularly nervous or may need more help staying comfortable during restorative work.

One more I'd consider

Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry in Mueller is another good option. They offer fillings, crowns and pulp therapy, and parent feedback highlights distraction techniques such as ceiling TVs.

If these were my two kids, I'd call Central Park first. It combines the location advantage from Crestview with a pediatric-only practice and the kind of conservative, patient approach I'd want for fillings. If getting both children treated efficiently is the overriding concern, I'd also call Austin Pediatric Dentistry and ask whether they can schedule both kids' restorative appointments close together or on the same day.

One thing I'd ask when you call: “Do you use nitrous oxide or other comfort measures for fillings, and can you schedule both children for treatment appointments rather than making us come in separately for multiple visits?” That will tell you a lot about how efficiently they'll handle your particular situation.

• Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry - 1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd #1430, Austin, TX 78723, United States

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a pediatric dentist who is both good at fillings/restorative work and genuinely calm with kids, rather than simply the closest family dentist.

My top picks

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice

• Very convenient from Crestview (38th St).
• Pediatric specialists with restorative dentistry, including tooth-colored fillings.
• Recent local parent discussions specifically praise Dr. Daniel Johnson for being patient with anxious kids and taking a conservative approach to fillings. Reddit
• The practice currently has a 4.9 rating from 116 reviews.

Why I’d call them first: You have two kids needing fillings, so I'd want a practice that is experienced with pediatric restorative work without making the experience unnecessarily stressful.

2. Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC — best if efficiency is the priority

• The practice emphasizes low-stress visits and getting children seen quickly.
• Their recent reviews are particularly encouraging for fillings: one parent described their child's fillings as going extremely smoothly, with the dentist and staff being quick and attentive. Trustindex.io
• They also offer family block scheduling, which could be especially useful when two children need treatment. Trustindex.io
• Downside: they're farther west in Four Points, so less convenient from Crestview.
• Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — another strong option

• In Mueller, so reasonably close to Crestview.
• Pediatric-only practice with doctors trained in restorative care and behavior management, including sedation when appropriate.
• A recent Austin Parents discussion specifically had multiple parents recommending Austin Pearls. Reddit

One I’d consider if your kids are particularly nervous

Loving Pediatric Dentistry near Mopac is another good fit. It specifically handles pediatric fillings and crowns and offers sedation-supported care. Its current business rating is 4.9.

If these were my kids, I'd call Central Park first, followed by Austin Pediatric Dentistry. For two children needing fillings, I'd ask whether they can schedule both kids' restorative appointments close together and whether they can complete the fillings with nitrous/local anesthetic rather than deeper sedation, if clinically appropriate.

One important caveat: if your children's current dentist has already recommended fillings, I'd ask the new dentist to review the X-rays before agreeing to treatment. Pediatric cavities—especially in baby teeth—can sometimes have more than one reasonable treatment approach.

If you tell me your kids' ages and whether they're nervous about the dentist, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 practices specifically for their situation, including which ones are closest to Crestview and which appear to have the best availability.

• Austin Children's Dentistry - Austin - 13616 N Hwy 183, Austin, TX 78750, United States

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a practice that is both close and specifically experienced with pediatric restorative work.

My top pick: Loving Pediatric Dentistry

Loving Pediatric Dentistry would be my first call. It’s in northwest Austin near MoPac, so it’s reasonably convenient from Crestview, and it’s pediatric-only rather than a general family practice. They specifically handle tooth-colored fillings and other restorative treatment, and the practice offers sedation options when appropriate.

For your particular situation—two children needing fillings—I like the pediatric-specialist setup because the team is accustomed to getting kids through restorative appointments efficiently without making the experience unnecessarily intimidating.

Two other good options

• Pediatric Dental Professionals — also in northwest Austin. They specifically offer composite fillings, crowns, pulp therapy, etc., so they’re a good choice if the cavities turn out to be more extensive.
• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — excellent option if you're willing to go a little farther into central Austin. They offer minimally invasive tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns, and their pediatric dentists have specialized training.

One interesting alternative is Northwest Austin Family Dentistry: it isn't pediatric-only, but reviews specifically mention the dentist being gentle with children, including a family with three kids and a 2-year-old, and patients describe filling treatment as comfortable. Zocdoc

If “efficient + gentle” is the priority, I'd call Loving Pediatric Dentistry first and ask two things: whether they can schedule both children for restorative appointments close together, and whether they routinely do multiple fillings in one visit when clinically appropriate.

If you tell me the kids' ages and roughly where in Crestview you are (e.g. near Burnet/Anderson, Lamar, or Airport), I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best choices and compare convenience, reviews, filling approach, and sedation options.

• Paragon Family Dental - 345 F St Ste 180, Chula Vista, CA 91910, United States

For two kids needing fillings, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist or a very kid-focused family dentist rather than a general office that only occasionally treats children. For restorative work, the things I’d prioritize are: calm behavior guidance, speed without rushing, tooth-colored fillings, and experience with kids who are nervous about the numbing/drill process.

Since you’re in Crestview (North Austin), these are the ones I’d put at the top of the list:

4. “How do you handle kids who are scared of the shot?”

If you tell me your kids’ ages, whether they’re anxious or cooperative at the dentist, and your insurance (if any), I can narrow this down further.

Since you’re in Crestview (North/Central Austin) and the kids need fillings, I’d prioritize a dentist who does a lot of pediatric restorative work (not just cleanings), has a calm chairside style, and can handle multiple kids efficiently. These would be my short list:

My top picks for your situation

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — best overall fit for gentle restorative work

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-330-4624)

This would probably be my first call for two children needing fillings. They are pediatric-focused, relatively close to Crestview, and specifically offer restorative care such as tooth-colored fillings and crowns. Their approach emphasizes comfort and anxiety-aware care. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry

Why I’d consider them:

• Pediatric-only environment (helpful for nervous kids)
• Strong reputation among Austin parents for patience with anxious children Reddit
• Good choice if you want someone who won’t rush into more aggressive treatment without explaining options

2. Galaxia Dental — convenient North Austin family option

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 737-802-3822)

This is closer to Crestview than many pediatric-only offices and is designed as a family/kid-friendly practice. It may be a good fit if you want one office for the whole family and your kids respond well to a fun environment.

3. Loving Pediatric Dentistry — strong choice if anxiety is a concern

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-649-4234)

They focus on children and offer restorative treatment including tooth-colored fillings and crowns. They’re a little farther northwest, but worth considering if one of your kids is fearful or has had a rough dental experience.

4. Groovy Molar — good for a calm, kid-centered approach

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-349-9500)

Located in the Far West area, this is another pediatric-only practice with restorative services such as fillings and crowns.

If I were calling, I’d ask these 5 questions

1. “My two kids need fillings — can you schedule both restorative appointments efficiently, ideally close together?”
2. “Do you typically use tooth-colored composite fillings for children?”
3. “How do you handle nervous kids during fillings — nitrous, breaks, tell-show-do?”
4. “Will the dentist who does the exam also do the fillings?”
5. “Can you send me the treatment plan and X-rays before we commit to the work?”

One other thought: if these are baby teeth, I’d specifically ask whether each tooth truly needs a filling versus monitoring or another approach, because the best choice depends on the tooth’s location, how close it is to falling out, and the size/depth of the cavity.

If you tell me your kids’ ages, whether the fillings are on baby teeth or permanent teeth, and whether either child is dentist-anxious, I can narrow this to the best 1–2 offices.

• Dentalsaurus - 2500 W William Cannon Dr Ste 507, Austin, TX 78745, United States

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a practice that is genuinely good at pediatric restorative work and doesn’t make you trek across Austin. Based on current local listings and recent parent feedback, these would be my top choices:

🥇 My first choice: Central Park Pediatric Dentistry

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-330-4624)

1005 W 38th St #200 — Central Austin

This is probably the best balance for what you described. It’s a pediatric-only practice, very close to Crestview, and specifically offers tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns. Its current rating is 4.9/5 from 116 reviews. The practice emphasizes anxiety-aware, gentle communication rather than simply getting kids in and out. myDental

Why I'd pick it: close + pediatric specialists + strong reputation for gentle care + appropriate for fillings.

🥈 Very good option: Loving Pediatric Dentistry

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-649-4234)

7800 N MoPac Expy #110

This is another particularly good fit if your kids are nervous about dental work. They do tooth-colored fillings and crowns, and the practice specifically focuses on gentle, child-centered care and sedation options when appropriate. It currently has a 4.9/5 rating.

🥉 If you want efficiency above all: Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-346-1221)

11149 Research Blvd #270

This one is farther north, but the feedback is particularly encouraging around smooth fillings, distraction techniques, and a patient/gentle staff. The practice also has multiple board-certified pediatric dentists. If your main concern is “I want these fillings done efficiently without traumatizing my kids,” I'd put this on the shortlist.

One I'd especially consider for a more minimally invasive approach

Groovy Molar is in Northwest Austin and has a strong emphasis on gentle pediatric care. It offers tooth-colored fillings and crowns, and parent feedback specifically describes the dentist as having a gentle touch and explaining procedures well to children and parents.

What I'd do in your shoes

For two children who both need fillings, I'd call Central Park Pediatric Dentistry first and ask:

“We have two children who need restorative work. We're looking for a pediatric dentist who is gentle but efficient. Can you schedule both children, preferably close together, and do their fillings in the same visit if clinically appropriate?”

I'd also ask whether they use nitrous oxide, what type of fillings they recommend for baby vs. permanent teeth, and whether they can give you a complete treatment plan before starting work.

One other option worth knowing about is Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC. Their recent parent reviews are unusually specific about children having fillings done quickly and comfortably; one parent described the staff as quick and present during a couple of fillings, with another review describing a broken-tooth repair as gentle and smooth. Trustindex.io The downside for you is that it's way out in Four Points, so I wouldn't choose it over a similarly good Crestview/central option.

My ranking for your particular situation:

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — best overall/closest fit
2. Loving Pediatric Dentistry — best if either child is anxious
3. Sunny Hills — best if efficiency and smooth restorative visits are the priority
4. Groovy Molar — excellent gentle-care alternative

If you tell me your kids' ages, whether the fillings are baby or permanent teeth, and what dental insurance you have, I can narrow this to the 2 best offices for you and check which ones are in-network.

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist for two children who already need fillings. For restorative work, the combination of kid-specific behavior management, efficient treatment, and comfort options can make a big difference.

My top picks near Crestview

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — probably my first call for your situation. It’s near the 35th/North Lamar area, which is convenient from Crestview, and there’s particularly good local parent feedback about the doctors being patient and conservative with treatment. One Austin parent specifically described Dr. Daniel Johnson as very patient with an anxious child and said he used nitrous oxide when needed. Reddit Central Park Pediatric Dentistry

Why I’d consider it: gentle reputation + pediatric specialization + restorative care + close to Crestview.

2. Poplin Pediatric Dentistry — a particularly interesting option if efficiency and minimizing discomfort are your priorities. They use the Solea dental laser for fillings and say they can perform more than 95% of restorations without traditional numbing needles. They also offer nitrous oxide for anxious children. Austin TX Pediatric Dentist

Why I’d consider it: potentially excellent for kids who hate shots or are nervous about fillings.

3. myDental Norwood Park — probably the most convenient option from Crestview if you want a practice that sees children and adults rather than a pediatric-only office. Their Norwood Park location explicitly serves Crestview/78757, offers fillings, and has weekday 9–6 hours plus sedation options for anxious or sensory-sensitive children. myDental

Why I’d consider it: convenience and potentially easier scheduling for two kids.

4. Austin Kids Teeth — another strong pediatric-only option for restorative work. They specifically emphasize gentle techniques, tooth-colored fillings, minimally invasive treatment, and comfort options including nitrous oxide. Austin Kids Teeth Austin Kids Teeth

What I'd do in your shoes

For two kids needing fillings, I'd call Central Park Pediatric Dentistry and Poplin Pediatric Dentistry first. I'd ask:

“Both of my children need fillings. We’re looking for someone who is very gentle but also efficient—ideally someone who can complete the necessary fillings without turning this into multiple stressful visits. How do you typically handle children who need several restorations, and do you offer nitrous or laser dentistry?”

I'd also ask whether they can schedule both children consecutively or on the same day. That's often more important for a family with two kids than shaving a few minutes off each procedure.

If you tell me the kids' ages, whether either is nervous about dentists, and what dental insurance you have, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best choices from Crestview and check which ones appear to be the best fit for your insurance and scheduling needs.

What I’d ask when you call

For two children needing fillings, I’d ask:

1. “Will the dentist do both kids’ fillings in one appointment or same-day blocks?”
2. “Who actually performs the fillings—the pediatric dentist or a general dentist?”
3. “Do you use a rubber dam/isolation techniques for fillings?”
4. “What comfort options do you offer (nitrous, breaks, headphones, etc.)?”
5. “If a child is nervous, how do you handle it before considering sedation?”

My personal shortlist for your situation would be:

1. Austin Kids Teeth — if your priority is the gentlest pediatric restorative experience.
2. myDental Norwood Park — if you want the closest, convenient option from Crestview.
3. Austin Pearls — if you prefer a pediatric-only practice.

If you tell me your kids’ ages (for example, preschool vs. elementary vs. teens), whether the fillings are baby teeth or permanent teeth, and whether either child is nervous about dentists, I can narrow this down further.

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a pediatric-focused office in Central/North Austin rather than a general family dentist—especially since two kids need fillings and you’re looking for both gentleness and efficiency.

My top pick: Central Park Pediatric Dentistry

Central Park Pediatric Dentistry

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-330-4624)

1005 W 38th St #200, Austin — this is a particularly good fit for your situation. They’re pediatric-only, offer tooth-colored fillings and crowns, and emphasize anxiety-aware, gentle care. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry Reddit

What makes me lean toward them:

• Very convenient from Crestview—they're just south of you near 38th & Lamar.
• They specifically do restorative work on children, not just cleanings/prevention.
• Their approach is conservative and focused on keeping kids comfortable.
• There’s also some useful Austin-parent feedback specifically about Dr. Daniel Johnson being patient with anxious children and conservative about recommending fillings. Reddit
• Current business data shows 4.9/5 from 116 reviews, which is encouraging for a pediatric practice.

Another strong option: Austin Pediatric Dentistry

Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-900-5437)

This one is farther northwest in Four Points, so less convenient from Crestview, but the recent parent feedback is unusually compelling for exactly what you're asking for. Parents describe the team as calm, gentle and efficient, and one recent review specifically says two children had fillings and the procedure went extremely smoothly. Trustindex.io

If minimizing drilling/shots is a big priority

Minimint Pediatric Dentistry

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-737-6428)

Minimint in Southwest Austin emphasizes minimally invasive restorative dentistry, including approaches intended to reduce drilling and shots when clinically appropriate, while still offering conventional fillings, crowns and pulp therapy. Zocdoc

It's considerably farther from Crestview, though.

What I'd do in your shoes

I'd call Central Park Pediatric Dentistry first and tell them:

“I have two children who have been told they need fillings. We're looking for a dentist who is gentle but efficient with restorative work. Do you routinely schedule siblings for fillings on the same day, and what comfort options do you use?”

That question should tell you a lot. I'd also ask whether they can complete both children's fillings in one visit each, whether they use nitrous oxide when appropriate, and whether they offer a second opinion before drilling if the cavities are small.

If you tell me your kids' ages, whether they're anxious about dentists, and what dental insurance you have, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best options near Crestview, including which ones appear easiest for getting both kids treated efficiently.

For Crestview (North Austin) and two children who already need fillings, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist—especially if “gentle” and “efficient” are your priorities. Pediatric dentists do restorative work all day on small mouths and are trained in child behavior, numbing, anxiety management, and keeping appointments moving. Austin Kids Teeth

My shortlist:

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — Best overall fit for gentle restorative work

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-330-4624)

• Why I’d consider them: They are a pediatric-only practice, and their restorative services specifically include tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns. Their approach emphasizes keeping kids comfortable through treatment. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry
• Location advantage: Central Austin (38th St) is a reasonable drive from Crestview.
• Best for: Kids who are nervous, need multiple fillings, or parents who want a very kid-focused experience.

2. Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — Good North Austin convenience option

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-502-5432)

• Why: Located near Braker/78758, so it’s close to Crestview.
• They list restorative care including tooth-colored fillings, crowns, and pulp therapy, and their practice is focused only on children.
• Best for: Minimizing drive time while still getting pediatric-specific care.

3. Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — Worth considering for anxious kids

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-346-1221)

• Why: Their Austin location is in the Research Blvd area and they provide pediatric restorative care such as fillings.
• Best for: Children who need extra patience, reassurance, or a calmer pace.

4. Pediatric Dental Professionals — Strong restorative focus

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-366-5911)

• Why: They specifically describe restorative pediatric services including composite fillings, crowns, and pulpotomy (when decay is deeper). Pediatric Dental Professionals
• Best for: If the cavities are more involved than simple fillings.

A couple of questions I’d ask when calling:

1. “Will the dentist do both children’s fillings in one visit if appropriate?”
2. “Do you use nitrous oxide for anxious kids, and is it included or an extra fee?”
3. “How do you handle kids who are nervous about the shot/numbing?”
4. “Will the same dentist who does the exam do the fillings?”

If these are two young kids (under ~6), first fillings, or kids who are already worried about dentists, my first calls would be Central Park Pediatric Dentistry and Red Balloon. If they’re older and cooperative, a high-quality family dentist could also work, but I’d still favor a pediatric office for restorative visits.

I can also narrow this down by your kids’ ages, insurance (if any), and whether the cavities are baby teeth or permanent teeth.

• Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry - 1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd #1430, Austin, TX 78723, United States

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize North/Central Austin rather than sending you across town. For two children who already need fillings, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist because pediatric specialists are specifically trained in behavior management and restorative treatment for kids.

My top picks

• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — My first choice for your situation. It’s in Central Austin at 38th & Lamar, so it’s reasonably close to Crestview. They do pediatric restorative work, including tooth-colored fillings, and the practice has a strong reputation for calm, patient care. Recent Austin-parent discussions specifically praise Dr. Daniel Johnson and his team for being gentle with anxious children. Reddit ThreeBestRated
• Toothbud Pediatric Dentistry — Worth considering if you want a particularly gentle/minimally invasive philosophy. Their approach emphasizes prevention and conservative treatment, and parent feedback consistently mentions patience and making nervous children comfortable. It’s farther out toward Bee Cave, though, so I wouldn't choose it over a comparable Crestview-area option simply for convenience.
• Loving Pediatric Dentistry — A good Northwest Austin option, particularly if your kids are nervous about dental work. They offer restorative care and sedation-supported dentistry, and their practice emphasizes a gentle, child-centered approach. Reddit
• Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — Located on Braker, making it quite convenient from Crestview. They specifically offer fillings, crowns and pulp therapy, and their practice is pediatric-only. The business information also indicates parents frequently describe the staff as kind and gentle.

One more I'd seriously consider

Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry in Mueller has a particularly good combination of gentle care + restorative expertise. They offer tooth-colored fillings, crowns and pulp therapy, and parent feedback frequently describes the dentists as kind, gentle and good at keeping children calm. Reddit

If these were my kids, I'd call Central Park first, then Austin Pearls/Red Balloon as backups. For two kids needing fillings, I'd specifically ask whether they can schedule both children close together or do same-day treatment, and whether they use nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) when appropriate. Those details can make a big difference in both efficiency and the kids' experience.

One caveat: I wouldn't choose a dentist solely because reviews say a filling was "fast." For children, efficient should mean well-organized and comfortable, not rushed.

If you tell me your kids' ages and whether you have dental insurance (and which insurer), I can narrow this to the 2–3 best options near Crestview that are likely to fit your needs, including distance, reviews specifically mentioning fillings, and insurance.

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a pediatric dentist in North/Central Austin so you’re not driving across town for two fillings. For restorative work, I’d also favor a practice with a strong track record of being gentle + efficient, rather than simply a fun kids’ office.

My top picks

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice for your situation

This would be my #1 call. It’s on W. 38th, relatively convenient from Crestview, and is specifically pediatric rather than a general family practice. They offer tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns, and their reputation emphasizes anxiety-aware, gentle care. Reddit

What particularly caught my attention is the parent feedback about Dr. Daniel Johnson being patient with anxious children and taking a conservative approach. One Austin parent specifically described switching there when their child needed fillings and appreciating that Dr. Johnson didn't automatically recommend treatment that he didn't think was necessary. Reddit

2. Pediatric Dental Professionals — best if efficiency/scheduling is especially important

They're in northwest Austin, so also a reasonable drive from Crestview. They do pediatric restorative work including composite fillings, crowns and pulpotomies, and offer sedation when appropriate. Their current patient feedback is particularly strong on the kind, gentle interaction with young children and the office helping families navigate treatment and insurance. Pediatric Dental Professionals

3. Loving Pediatric Dentistry — excellent gentle-care alternative

This is another strong option if either child is nervous about the fillings. They're near MoPac/78759 and specifically emphasize gentle, kind, fun care as well as restorative dentistry and sedation options.

4. Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — worth considering for a North Austin location

They're on Braker, making them quite practical from Crestview. They specifically do tooth-colored fillings, crowns and pulp therapy, and their practice is designed around kids who need restorative work or who have difficulty with dental visits.

One I’d especially consider if you want the gentlest possible experience

Poplin Pediatric Dentistry is farther north, but it has a particularly interesting restorative profile: Dr. Poplin is board-certified in pediatric dentistry and has extensive laser-dentistry experience, with the practice specifically emphasizing approaches that can minimize anesthesia for some procedures.

What I'd do

For two kids who already need fillings, I'd call Central Park Pediatric Dentistry first, then Pediatric Dental Professionals. When you call, I'd tell them:

“We have two children who have been diagnosed with cavities and need fillings. We're looking for a dentist who is very gentle but also efficient, and we'd ideally like to schedule both children close together. Can you tell me how you handle fillings in children and whether you can accommodate both kids on the same day?”

I'd also ask whether they can review the existing X-rays/treatment plan before the first appointment, whether the fillings can be done in one visit per child, and what their approach is if a child becomes anxious. That will tell you much more about the practice than a generic “we're great with kids” answer.

If you tell me your kids' ages, whether the cavities are on baby or permanent teeth, and roughly which part of Crestview you're in, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best fits and compare drive time, reviews, restorative approach, insurance, and scheduling.

If you mean Crestview in North Austin, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist for two children who already need fillings. For restorative work, the combination of pediatric training, behavior management, and efficiency matters more than simply finding a highly rated family practice.

My top picks

1. Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC — Four Points

This would be my first call if gentle + efficient is the priority. It’s pediatric-only, and the practice specifically emphasizes low-stress visits and getting children seen promptly. Recent reviews are particularly strong for children who need actual treatment, including parents describing staff as kind, gentle, and reassuring during procedures. Trustindex.io

The downside from Crestview is the drive west, but I think it could be worth it for two fillings.

2. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — Central Austin

This is probably the best balance of location, pediatric expertise, and gentle restorative care for a Crestview family. They do tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns, and the practice has a strong reputation for anxiety-aware care. Current local reviews also specifically recommend Dr. Daniel Johnson for children who are nervous about dental treatment. Reddit

This would probably be my choice for your family if you want to stay relatively close to Crestview.

3. Loving Pediatric Dentistry — Northwest Austin

Another very good option if you're looking for a pediatric-only practice. They specifically offer restorative fillings and crowns and emphasize a gentle approach. The location on MoPac makes it reasonably convenient from Crestview.

4. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — Mueller

I like this one particularly for kids who are apprehensive about fillings. They offer tooth-colored fillings, crowns and pulp therapy, and their reviews consistently mention the doctors being patient, gentle and good at explaining things to children. Reddit

One I’d put especially high on the list for efficiency

Rising Stars Pediatric Dentistry in North Austin is worth calling. A recent verified review describes a cavity visit that was completed in under 15 minutes, while another parent specifically praised the office for fitting multiple children in on the same day. Zocdoc Zocdoc

That combination—quick treatment without making the child feel rushed—sounds very close to what you're looking for.

What I'd do

I'd call Central Park and Rising Stars first, and ask:

“We have two children who have already been diagnosed with cavities and need fillings. We're looking for a dentist who is very gentle but also efficient. Can you schedule both children for restorative appointments, ideally close together or the same day? And do you use nitrous oxide if a child is nervous?”

I'd also ask whether they can review the existing X-rays and treatment plan before requiring another full exam, which can save both time and money.

If you tell me your kids' ages, roughly where in Crestview you are, and whether you have dental insurance (and which one), I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best choices for you, including which is most convenient and likely to handle both kids efficiently.

For two children needing fillings, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist or a family dentist who does a lot of children’s restorative work, rather than choosing only by proximity. Since you’re in Crestview, these are the practices I’d put near the top of your list:

My top picks near Crestview

1. Loving Pediatric Dentistry — best overall fit for gentle restorative kids’ care

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-649-4234)

This would be one of my first calls for your situation. It’s relatively close to Crestview, pediatric-focused, and offers restorative care including tooth-colored fillings and crowns. Families looking for a calm experience for kids who may be nervous often prioritize offices like this because the whole practice is built around children rather than adapting an adult office for kids.

Why I’d consider it:

• Pediatric-only environment
• Good fit if either child is anxious about shots, drills, or dental work
• Handles fillings and more involved pediatric procedures

2. Poplin Pediatric Dentistry — best if minimizing fear and discomfort is the priority

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-346-1283)

Poplin is another strong option for fillings. They specifically highlight comfort-focused restorative procedures and use of the Solea laser technology for many filling procedures, which may reduce the need for traditional numbing in some cases (whether it applies depends on the tooth and situation). Poplin Pediatric Dentistry

Why I’d consider it:

• Very focused on making fillings less intimidating
• Good option for kids who are worried about needles
• Pediatric specialist practice

3. Groovy Molar — convenient Northwest Austin option

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-349-9500)

Groovy Molar is close to Crestview and specializes in children. They provide restorative services such as tooth-colored fillings and crowns when needed.

Why I’d consider it:

• Short drive from Crestview
• Pediatric-only office
• Good option if you want a long-term “kids’ dental home”

4. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — strong reputation for gentle care

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-330-4624)

This is a little farther but has a strong pediatric focus and offers restorative treatment including tooth-colored fillings and crowns. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry

If you prefer a true family dentist (kids + adults together)

A family practice can be convenient if you want everyone in one office. Dr. Priya Meghpara, DMD serves Crestview-area families and advertises gentle treatment for all ages. 512 Smiles For multiple pediatric fillings, though, I’d personally still give the edge to a pediatric specialist.

Questions I’d ask when you call

For two kids needing fillings, I’d ask:

1. “Do you do tooth-colored composite fillings for children?”
2. “Will the dentist do both fillings in one visit if the kids cooperate?”
3. “What is your approach for an anxious child—nitrous oxide, breaks, tell-show-do?”
4. “Do you recommend sedation for this case, and why?”
5. “Can you send a written treatment plan with X-rays showing which teeth need fillings?”

If you tell me your kids’ ages, whether the fillings are baby teeth or permanent teeth, and whether either child is nervous about the dentist, I can narrow this to the best 1–2 choices.

For Crestview (North Central Austin) and two kids who already need fillings, I’d lean toward a practice that does a lot of pediatric restorative work rather than a general family dentist who only occasionally fills children’s teeth. The things I’d prioritize are: a calm chairside style, efficient appointments, experience with anxious kids, and the ability to do fillings without making the experience scary. austinpearlsdental.com

My top picks:

1. myDental Norwood Park — best convenience from Crestview

Why it fits: worth considering if the cavities are larger or your kids may need more than simple fillings.

My ranking for your situation:

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — if “gentle” is the biggest priority
2. myDental Norwood Park — if convenience + efficiency matter most from Crestview
3. Austin Pearls — if you want a dedicated pediatric restorative office

When you call, I’d ask:

• “How many children’s fillings does the dentist typically do in a week?”
• “Do you allow parents back during fillings?”
• “What is your approach for kids who are nervous about the numbing shot?”
• “Do you use nitrous oxide if needed?”
• “Can you do both children’s fillings in the same visit?”

If you tell me your kids’ ages, whether they are anxious or cooperative at the dentist, and roughly where in Crestview you are (near Burnet, Airport, North Lamar, etc.), I can narrow this to the best 1–2 choices.

Yes — assuming you mean Crestview in North Austin, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist for two children who already need restorative work. For fillings, the combination of child behavior management + restorative experience matters more than simply having a “family” practice.

My top picks near Crestview

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice

• 1005 W. 38th St., Suite 200, fairly close to Crestview.
• They specifically do tooth-colored fillings and crowns and emphasize gentle, anxiety-aware care. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry Central Park Pediatric Dentistry
• They also advertise on-time appointments, which is a nice plus when you're coordinating two kids. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry
• There is some particularly relevant parent feedback: an Austin parent reported that Dr. Daniel Johnson was kind, respectful and patient, including with an anxious child needing fillings, and that he used gas rather than jumping immediately to general anesthesia. Reddit

Why I'd choose them: Best overall combination of close to Crestview + gentle reputation + actual restorative experience + efficient family logistics.

2. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry

• 3607 Manor Rd., Suite 103, in the Mueller area.
• Board-certified pediatric dentists and a very strong emphasis on making children comfortable.
• They specifically perform tooth-colored fillings, crowns and pulp therapy. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry

Why I'd choose them: Especially appealing if either child is nervous or has had a bad dental experience.

3. Poplin Pediatric Dentistry

• 6850 Austin Center Blvd., Suite 220.
• This one stands out for restorative efficiency: they use the Solea laser and say they can perform more than 95% of restorations without traditional numbing needles. They also offer nitrous oxide for anxious children. Poplin Pediatric Dentistry

Why I'd choose them: If your priority is specifically fast, minimally invasive fillings with as little drilling/shots as possible.

4. Pediatric Dental Professionals

• 9015 Mountain Ridge Dr., Suite 320.
• Pediatric-focused practice offering composite fillings, crowns, pulpotomies and other restorative treatment, with board-certified pediatric dentist Ana Tijerina on staff. Pediatric Dental Professionals

Why I'd choose them: Good option if one of the kids needs something more involved than a straightforward filling.

What I'd do in your situation

I'd call Central Park first, tell them “I have two children who have already been diagnosed with cavities and need fillings, and we're looking for a dentist who is gentle but efficient with restorative appointments.” I'd specifically ask:

• Can both children be treated on the same day?
• Can they do the fillings in one visit per child?
• Do they typically use nitrous oxide, or local anesthetic alone, for fillings?
• Under what circumstances would they recommend sedation?
• Can siblings be scheduled back-to-back?
• Are they in-network with your dental insurance?
• Can they give you the estimated out-of-pocket cost before treatment?

That's important because “gentle” and “efficient” can mean very different things between pediatric offices.

If you tell me the kids' ages and roughly where in Crestview you are (e.g. near Burnet, Lamar, or 183), plus your dental insurance, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best choices and compare distance, reviews, restorative approach, sedation, and likely insurance fit.

For kids who need fillings (restorative work), I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist, especially if your priority is “gentle + efficient.” Pediatric offices tend to be set up for behavior management, shorter attention spans, and reducing dental anxiety.

Since you’re in Crestview (North Central Austin), these would be my shortlist:

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my top pick for gentle restorative work

• Very close to Crestview and easy to reach.
• Pediatric-only practice with a strong reputation for calm, child-focused care.
• Offers tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns when needed. Reddit
• I’d especially consider them if either child is nervous, has had a rough dental experience, or needs multiple fillings done efficiently.

2. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — good North Austin option

• Convenient from Crestview.
• Focuses on children and offers restorative treatments including composite fillings, crowns, and pulpotomies. Pediatric Dental Professionals
• A good fit if you want a practice experienced with a range of cavity severity.

3. Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — strong North Austin choice

• Another convenient option north of Crestview.
• Lists restorative care such as fillings and emphasizes kid-friendly treatment approaches.
• Worth considering if scheduling speed matters.

4. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — farther, but very kid-focused

• Known for pediatric restorative dentistry, including tooth-colored fillings. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry
• A good choice for kids who need extra reassurance or have dental anxiety.

For two kids needing fillings, I would call and ask these specific questions before booking:

1. “Can you do both children’s fillings in the same visit if they tolerate treatment?”
2. “Do you use a tell-show-do approach and nitrous oxide if needed?”
3. “How long do fillings typically take for two teeth?”
4. “Will the dentist review whether every filling is truly necessary, especially for baby teeth?”

If I were choosing from Crestview, I’d start with Central Park Pediatric Dentistry for the combination of location, pediatric specialization, and restorative experience.

I can also help compare who is fastest to get an appointment with or which ones take your dental insurance if you tell me your insurance plan and your kids’ ages.

Assuming you mean Crestview in north-central Austin, I’d prioritize a practice that regularly does pediatric restorative work rather than simply a general family dentist.

My top picks

1. Austin Pediatric Dentistry — best overall for your situation

This is the one I’d call first. They’re pediatric-focused, offer fillings, and the recent reviews specifically mention children having cavities filled quickly and smoothly. One parent described their child needing several fillings and said Dr. Lucas and the staff were exceptionally quick, calm, and reassuring. They also offer family block scheduling, which could be especially convenient with two kids needing treatment. www.trustindex.io

Austin Pediatric Dentistry

2. Northwest Austin Family Dentistry — best if you want a true family dentist

If you'd prefer one office that can treat both children and adults, this looks particularly strong. Reviews repeatedly describe Dr. Prasad as gentle, and parents specifically mention bringing three kids, including a 2-year-old, and finding the team patient and kind. There are also reviews describing fillings as comfortable/pain-free. www.zocdoc.com

3. Glauser Family Dentistry — worth considering for efficient restorative care

They're somewhat farther north, but they explicitly advertise children's fillings, gentle pediatric dentistry, and a comfort-oriented filling process. Their practice describes its fillings as fast and gentle, with modern anesthetic techniques. www.glauserfamilydentistry.com

What I'd do

For two kids who already need fillings, I'd call Austin Pediatric Dentistry first, especially if either child is nervous about dental work. Their combination of pediatric specialization, restorative experience, and reviews specifically describing smooth fillings is a particularly good match.

When you call, I'd ask three things:

• “Can you schedule both children for their fillings, preferably on the same day?”
• “Do you use nitrous oxide or other comfort techniques if a child is anxious?”
• “How soon can you get them in for the restorative appointments?”

If you tell me your kids' ages and roughly where in Crestview you are (e.g. near Burnet/Anderson, Lamar/Justin, etc.), I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best options within about a 10–15 minute drive, including which ones have the strongest parent reviews specifically for fillings.

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d lean toward a pediatric-focused practice in North/Central Austin rather than a general family dentist. For two kids who already need fillings, gentleness + efficient restorative treatment matters more than just having a convenient cleaning office.

My top picks

1. Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC — Four Points

• This would be my first call if you’re willing to drive a little.
• It’s pediatric-only, led by board-certified pediatric dentists, and specifically handles fillings/restorative care.
• Their recent reviews are unusually strong for children who actually needed treatment: one parent described the team as quick and smooth during fillings, while others emphasize how comfortable they make nervous kids. www.trustindex.io
• They also advertise family block scheduling, which could be particularly useful with two children needing work. www.trustindex.io

2. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — Mueller

• Probably my best balance of close-ish to Crestview + gentle + restorative expertise.
• They explicitly provide tooth-colored fillings and other pediatric restorative treatment, and their reviews consistently mention calm, kind treatment of children. austinpearlsdental.com
• They also came up repeatedly in recent Austin parent recommendations; several parents specifically praised how well they handle young children. www.reddit.com

3. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — 38th Street

• A particularly good choice if you want a more conservative, anxiety-aware approach.
• They provide tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns, and recent Austin parents continue to recommend the practice. www.reddit.com
• There are also older parent reports of Dr. Daniel Johnson being particularly patient with anxious kids and avoiding unnecessary treatment—something I'd value when someone has already told you a child needs fillings. www.reddit.com

4. Poplin Pediatric Dentistry — North Austin

• Worth considering because it's relatively convenient from Crestview and specifically offers fillings/crowns.
• They have significant pediatric training and a laser-dentistry focus, which may appeal if you're looking for less-invasive treatment where clinically appropriate.

One I'd put high on the list for efficiency

Pediatric Dental Professionals is also interesting. Their recent reviews specifically describe a quick, easy filling experience, and parents repeatedly mention that the staff is gentle and good at keeping kids comfortable. www.pediatricdentalprofessionals.com

What I'd do in your situation

I'd call Austin Pearls, Central Park, and Austin Pediatric Dentistry and ask one very specific question:

“Both of my children have been diagnosed with cavities that need fillings. We’re looking for a dentist who is very gentle but also efficient with restorative work. Can you schedule both children for treatment, and do you typically use nitrous oxide for fillings when needed?”

I'd also ask whether they can review the existing X-rays before making you repeat them and whether they can schedule both kids' treatment close together.

One important caveat: if these are baby teeth, I'd be especially interested in getting a second opinion before committing to extensive treatment. Pediatric dentists can differ in when they recommend watching a lesion versus filling it, particularly for teeth that are relatively close to naturally falling out. www.reddit.com

If you tell me your kids' ages and roughly where in Crestview you are (or just your ZIP code), I can narrow this to the 3 closest practices and compare drive time, ratings, insurance, and which ones specifically have the strongest evidence for quick/gentle fillings.

Assuming you mean Crestview in North Austin, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist for two children who already need fillings—especially if “gentle” and efficient restorative visits are your priorities.

My top picks

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice for your situation.
It’s particularly compelling for children who are nervous about fillings. The practice specifically describes its restorative care as gentle and emphasizes keeping children comfortable during fillings and crowns. More importantly, there’s some Austin-parent feedback specifically praising Dr. Daniel Johnson for being patient and taking a conservative approach when a child was anxious or when cavities might be watched rather than immediately treated. www.myaustinpediatricdentist.comwww.reddit.com

2. myDental Norwood Park — best for convenience/efficiency from Crestview.
This is probably the easiest option geographically. They explicitly serve Crestview and nearby 78757/78758 families, offer fillings in-house, have weekday 9–6 hours, and say they work with children who have dental anxiety. Their site currently reports 4.9/5 from 1,317+ reviews. www.mydental.com

3. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — strong choice if the actual restorative work is the priority.
They specifically advertise tooth-colored fillings and describe their restorative approach as gentle and personalized. They also handle crowns and pulp therapy if either child turns out to have deeper decay than expected. austinpearlsdental.com

4. Austin Children's Dentistry — worth considering for anxious kids.
Dr. Sara Ehsani is board-certified in pediatric dentistry and specifically lists restorative/minimally invasive caries treatment and painless numbing techniques among her areas of care. The practice also offers nitrous oxide. www.austinchildrensdentistry.com

What I'd do in your shoes

For two kids needing fillings, I'd call Central Park Pediatric Dentistry first, then myDental Norwood Park as the convenience/availability backup.

When you call, I'd ask four very specific questions:

• “Can you schedule both children for their fillings, ideally on the same day?”
• “Do you use tooth-colored composite fillings for children?”
• “How do you handle children who are nervous about the shot/drill?”
• “Do you routinely use nitrous oxide, or can you do the fillings with behavioral techniques and local anesthetic when appropriate?”

One other thing: if another dentist has already told you both kids need fillings, I'd still want the new dentist to look at the X-rays themselves before committing to treatment. The Austin parent discussion I found included an example where a pediatric dentist recommended watching questionable baby-tooth discoloration rather than immediately filling it. www.myaustinpediatricdentist.comwww.reddit.com

If you tell me the kids' ages and whether you have dental insurance (and which company), I can narrow this to the 2–3 best offices near Crestview, including which are most likely to be efficient about getting both kids treated.

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist for two kids who already need fillings. For restorative work, the combination of pediatric training + behavior management can make a big difference in keeping the experience quick and low-stress.

My top pick: Central Park Pediatric Dentistry

Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — 1005 W 38th St, Austin

This would be my first call for your situation. It’s very close to Crestview, is pediatric-only, and specifically offers tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns. The practice emphasizes anxiety-aware, gentle care. www.reddit.com

There's also some useful Austin-parent feedback: parents describe Dr. Daniel Johnson as exceptionally patient with anxious children, including kids needing dental treatment, and one parent specifically said he took a conservative approach rather than automatically treating questionable baby-tooth discoloration. www.reddit.com

Another very strong option: Austin Pediatric Dentistry

Austin Pediatric Dentistry

This one stood out to me for gentleness + efficiency. Recent parents specifically describe fillings as quick and smooth, with the staff keeping children comfortable throughout. One parent with two young children said their daughter's fillings went remarkably smoothly because the dentist and staff were quick, reassuring and used kid-friendly language for the drill. www.trustindex.io

If you want a general/family dentist instead

Forest Family Dentistry - Anderson is a convenient North Austin option and offers fillings, nitrous, and family dentistry. Their reviews have a recurring theme of dentists being gentle and explaining procedures well. The tradeoff is that they're a general family practice rather than pediatric-only, and there are more mixed reviews around billing/appointment logistics.

One more nearby pediatric option

Groovy Molar is in Northwest Austin and is another pediatric-only practice offering tooth-colored fillings and crowns. It could be worth considering, although its current overall rating is lower than Central Park's or Austin Pediatric Dentistry's.

My ranking for your particular needs:

1. 🥇 Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — best overall combination of proximity, pediatric expertise, conservative restorative philosophy and gentleness.
2. 🥈 Austin Pediatric Dentistry — especially compelling if your priority is making fillings fast and non-traumatic for the kids.
3. 🥉 Groovy Molar — good pediatric restorative option in NW Austin.
4. Forest Family Dentistry — worth considering if you strongly prefer one family dentist for everyone.

If you tell me your kids' ages and whether the fillings are on baby teeth or permanent teeth, I can narrow this down further—and specifically look at which offices are best for multiple fillings in one visit, nitrous/sedation, and minimizing the number of appointments.

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a practice that is both pediatric-focused and close enough that getting two kids treated doesn’t become an all-day ordeal.

My top picks

1. Poplin Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice for efficient, gentle fillings

This one stands out particularly well for your situation. They’re in Northwest Austin, fairly close to Crestview, and Dr. Jared Poplin is a board-certified pediatric dentist. They specifically use the Solea laser for fillings, with the practice saying it allows more than 95% of restorations to be done without traditional needle anesthesia in appropriate cases. That could be a major advantage if your kids are nervous about shots. austintxpediatricdentist.com

Why I’d call them first: restorative expertise + comfort technology + convenient Northwest Austin location.

Poplin Pediatric Dentistry

2. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — best combination of gentle care + convenience

Their Central Austin office is at 1005 W 38th St, which is quite convenient from Crestview. They specifically offer pediatric fillings and emphasize gentle techniques, relaxed visits, and staying on time, which is particularly appealing when you have two children who need treatment. www.myaustinpediatricdentist.com

They also have a strong local rating (4.9/5 in the business results I found).

Central Park Pediatric Dentistry

3. Loving Pediatric Dentistry — worth considering if anxiety is a big concern

They're near MoPac in Northwest Austin and focus on a gentle, kind, fun approach. They provide fillings, crowns and sedation-supported care, so they're a good option if one or both children are particularly apprehensive about dental work. www.reddit.com

One more I'd put on the shortlist

Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin on W. Braker is another geographically sensible option from Crestview. They do fillings, crowns and pulp therapy and have behavior-management/sedation options for children who need extra help getting through restorative treatment.

What I'd do in your shoes

I'd call Poplin first, then Central Park if their scheduling or insurance doesn't work.

When you call, I'd ask four very specific questions:

1. Can both children have their fillings done at the same visit/day?
2. Do you use the Solea laser for their particular cavities, and would that eliminate the numbing shot?
3. How soon can you get them in for the restorative appointments?
4. Will the dentist do the fillings themselves, rather than having the children come in for a separate treatment-planning appointment first?

That last question can make a surprisingly big difference in how efficient the process is.

If you tell me your kids' ages and what dental insurance you have, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best options near Crestview that are most likely to be both gentle and efficient, including which ones appear to accept your insurance.

Since you’re in Crestview, Austin, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist for two kids who already need fillings—especially if “gentle” is a priority.

My top picks

1. Pediatric Dental Professionals — best overall fit

• Northwest Austin, at 9015 Mountain Ridge Dr.
• Pediatric-focused practice with 45+ years serving Austin families.
• Specifically offers tooth-colored fillings, crowns, pulpotomies and sedation.
• Recent parent feedback is particularly good for quick, easy restorative visits; one parent described a child's filling as “easy, quick,” while others emphasize the calm environment and gentle staff. www.pediatricdentalprofessionals.com
• It is also close enough to Crestview that I think the convenience is reasonable.

2. Pediatric Dental Professionals / Dr. Ana Tijerina — especially if your kids are anxious
This is the same practice/location, but I'd specifically ask whether Dr. Tijerina is available. She's a board-certified pediatric dentist with training in behavioral management and experience treating children who need extra support. doctor.webmd.com

3. Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — good choice for efficient fillings

• Research Blvd.
• Parents specifically mention children having fillings while watching a movie, with the procedure going smoothly.

• 1139 W Braker Ln, very convenient to Crestview.
• Pediatric-only and does fillings, crowns and pulp therapy.
• Particularly geared toward kids who need help with attention, anxiety or emotional comfort during treatment.

One more I'd seriously consider

Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry has a 4.9 rating and specifically advertises gentle pediatric restorative dentistry, including tooth-colored fillings. austinpearlsdental.com It's farther east in Mueller, but I'd put it on the shortlist if the kids are nervous.

If these were my kids, I'd call Pediatric Dental Professionals first, particularly because you have two children needing restorative work. I'd tell the scheduler: “Both children need fillings, and our biggest priorities are a gentle dentist, efficient appointments, and ideally getting both kids treated with as few visits as possible.” I'd also ask whether they can schedule the two children back-to-back or together.

If you tell me their ages and whether either one is nervous about dental work, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 offices for their specific situation, including which ones seem most efficient for getting two kids' fillings done.

Yes. Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a practice that is both close enough to make two kids’ appointments manageable and has a strong track record with fillings specifically, not just routine cleanings.

My top picks

1. Poplin Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice for your situation

• Northwest Austin, at 6850 Austin Center Blvd.
• Pediatric-only practice with restorative care including fillings and crowns.
• Dr. Jared Poplin is board-certified in pediatric dentistry and has a particular focus on laser dentistry and minimizing anesthesia where appropriate. reviews.birdeye.com
• What really stands out for your criteria is parent feedback describing him as calm, kind, gentle and patient with nervous children. reviews.birdeye.com
• It is also quite convenient from Crestview compared with many of the highly regarded pediatric practices farther south.

2. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — excellent for gentle restorative work

This would be my choice if either child is anxious about the fillings. They're at 1005 W. 38th St., which is very convenient from Crestview, and they specifically offer tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns. Their practice emphasizes anxiety-aware, gentle care. www.trustindex.io

There's also some particularly reassuring Austin-parent feedback about Dr. Daniel Johnson being patient with anxious children and taking a conservative approach to questionable cavities rather than automatically filling them. www.reddit.com

3. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — best if you want a very kid-centered experience

At 3607 Manor Rd., this is another reasonably convenient option from Crestview. They specifically advertise gentle pediatric restorative dentistry and tooth-colored fillings, and their reviews tend to emphasize that kids feel safe and comfortable. austinpearlsdental.com

One more worth considering: Pediatric Dental Professionals

Pediatric Dental Professionals has especially good feedback around the combination you're looking for: parents describe a calm environment, excellent bedside manner, and fillings that were easy and quick. www.pediatricdentalprofessionals.com

If efficiency is the #1 priority

I'd actually call Poplin first and ask whether they can schedule both children for restorative appointments on the same day, and whether the dentist can complete all indicated fillings in one visit per child.

If your kids are under ~6, nervous about the dentist, or need several fillings, I'd lean even more strongly toward a pediatric specialist rather than a general family dentist. If they're older and reasonably cooperative, a family practice can sometimes be faster/easier to schedule.

My ranking for your particular request:
Poplin → Central Park → Pediatric Dental Professionals → Austin Pearls.

If you tell me the kids' ages, roughly how many fillings each needs, and what dental insurance you have, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 offices near Crestview that take your insurance and are most likely to get both kids treated efficiently.

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d put Forest Family Dentistry - Anderson at the top of your list if you want a true family dentist who can treat both kids and adults.

My pick: Forest Family Dentistry — Anderson Lane

• Very convenient from Crestview: 2700 W Anderson Ln, Austin 78757. www.forestfamily.com
• They specifically do tooth-colored composite fillings, and say most fillings are completed in one visit with conservative removal of decay. www.forestfamily.com
• Their stated approach emphasizes comfort and efficiency, and they have early, evening, and Saturday appointments, which is useful when you're trying to get two kids treated without disrupting school/work. www.forestfamily.com
• There are also encouraging recent parent reports: Austin parents specifically mention seeing their kids there, and one recent review describes the dentist as calm and straightforward. www.reddit.com
• The practice has a large overall review base and currently shows 4.8/5 from 1,174 reviews for the Anderson location on Birdeye. reviews.birdeye.com

One caveat: if either child is very young, highly anxious, or needs several fillings at once, I'd lean toward a pediatric specialist rather than a general family dentist. There is an Austin parent report specifically saying they switched from Forest Family to Central Park Pediatric Dentistry when their child needed fillings and pediatric sedation. www.reddit.com

Best pediatric-specialist alternative

Central Park Pediatric Dentistry at 1005 W 38th St is particularly appealing for that situation. They specialize exclusively in children and offer tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns, with an emphasis on anxiety-aware, gentle care. www.myaustinpediatricdentist.com

Another strong option is Poplin Pediatric Dentistry in North Austin. They use Solea laser technology for fillings and say it allows them to perform more than 95% of restorations without needle numbing; they also offer nitrous oxide for anxious children. austintxpediatricdentist.com

If these were my kids:
Forest Family Anderson for a convenient family practice and straightforward fillings; Central Park if either child is nervous about dentistry or the fillings are more involved.

If you tell me their ages and whether the cavities are in baby teeth or permanent teeth, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 offices for your specific situation, including which ones are most likely to get both kids treated efficiently in as few visits as possible.

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a practice that can handle the fillings efficiently but is genuinely comfortable treating kids—not simply a general dentist who “also sees children.”

My top picks

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice

• Central Austin, at 1005 W. 38th St., so it’s quite convenient from Crestview.
• Pediatric-only practice with a 4.9/5 rating in the current local results.
• They specifically provide tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns and emphasize gentle, anxiety-aware care. www.myaustinpediatricdentist.com
• One especially useful feature for two kids: their family-style setup can allow siblings to be seen together, which can make coordinating appointments much easier.
• Best fit if: you want pediatric expertise and a calm experience without going far from Crestview.

2. Poplin Pediatric Dentistry — best if “efficient” is the priority

• Near Austin Center Blvd., northwest of downtown.
• They use Solea laser technology for fillings, and the practice says this allows them to perform the majority of restorations without traditional needle numbing. austintxpediatricdentist.com
• That could be particularly appealing if your kids are nervous about shots or you want restorative appointments to be as streamlined as possible.
• The tradeoff is that its current local rating is lower than Central Park's, at 4.3/5.

3. Groovy Molar — another strong northwest-Austin option

• They specifically handle pediatric fillings, crowns and other restorative work.
• Their practice emphasizes gentle, patient treatment, and parent feedback particularly mentions the dentist explaining procedures well to children and parents.
• Best fit if: one of your children is especially apprehensive or sensory-sensitive.

One general/family-dentist option

If you specifically want one dentist for the whole family, Crestview Family Dental is worth considering. Current reviews are very strong (4.9/5 from 253 reviews), with recent patients describing fillings as quick, painless and gentle and praising Dr. Kavneet Bindra's patience and explanations. www.trustindex.io

However, for two children who already need restorative work, I'd personally lean toward Central Park Pediatric Dentistry because pediatric dentistry is their specialty rather than an add-on to a general family practice.

One thing I'd ask when calling: “Can both children have their fillings scheduled in the same visit or back-to-back, and what do you use for numbing/comfort?” That will tell you a lot about both efficiency and how they handle nervous kids.

If you tell me their ages and whether either child is anxious about dental work, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 offices within about 10–15 minutes of Crestview, including which ones look best for getting both kids treated promptly.

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a practice that is genuinely good at pediatric restorative work rather than simply a general family dentist that happens to see kids.

My top picks

1. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — my first choice
   • Central Austin, 1005 W 38th St.
   • Pediatric-only practice with restorative care including tooth-colored fillings and crowns.
   • Strong reputation for gentle, anxiety-aware care. A recent local parent discussion specifically praised Dr. Daniel Johnson for being patient with an anxious child and taking a long-term approach to avoiding dental fear. www.reddit.com
   • Best fit if: your kids are nervous about fillings or you want a pediatric specialist rather than a general family dentist.

2. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry
   • Mueller, 3607 Manor Rd.
   • Pediatric specialist offering fillings, crowns and pulp therapy, with sedation/anxiety-support experience.
   • The Austin Parents discussion from July 2026 has multiple parents specifically recommending Austin Pearls. www.reddit.com
   • Best fit if: you want a warm, kid-focused office and potentially need more involved restorative work.

3. Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC
   • Four Points, 6618 Sitio Del Rio Blvd.
   • Particularly appealing if efficiency matters: the practice emphasizes straightforward, efficient appointments while handling fillings and other pediatric restorative care.
   • Best fit if: you want a pediatric specialist but don't want the appointment process to feel drawn out.

One general family-dentistry option

If you specifically want one dentist for the whole family, I'd look at ATX Family Dental in South Austin. Their reviews specifically mention being quick and efficient with kids, and one recent parent described switching three children there and having an excellent experience even with an 8-year-old who had sensitive teeth and difficult dental visits. reviews.birdeye.com

For your particular situation—two kids needing fillings—I would choose Central Park Pediatric Dentistry first. The combination of pediatric specialization, restorative capability, and repeated feedback about being patient with anxious kids makes it the strongest match for “efficient but gentle.”

One thing I'd ask when calling: “Can you schedule both children for their exams and fillings in as few visits as clinically appropriate, and do you use child-friendly numbing techniques for fillings?” That will tell you a lot about both efficiency and how they approach nervous children.

If you tell me the kids' ages and roughly where in Crestview you are, I can narrow this to the 3 closest options and compare drive time, reviews, insurance, and filling/sedation approach.

For two kids needing fillings, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist (or a family dentist with a strong pediatric restorative focus) rather than just a general dentist. The things that matter most are: a calm team, efficient appointments, experience with kids who may be nervous, and a conservative approach to fillings. Since you’re in Crestview (North Central Austin), these are the practices I’d put near the top of your list:

My top picks near Crestview

1. myDental Norwood Park — best for convenience + kid-friendly efficiency
This is probably the most convenient option for Crestview families. They specifically serve the Crestview/North Austin area and offer children’s fillings, with a child-focused environment designed to make visits smoother. www.mydental.com
Why I’d consider them: good location, likely easier scheduling, geared toward kids, and they handle restorative work in-house. www.mydental.com

2. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — best for gentle, anxiety-sensitive kids
This would be high on my list if either child is scared of the dentist. They emphasize comfort during restorative care and do tooth-colored fillings and other pediatric restorations. www.myaustinpediatricdentist.com
Parents in Austin discussions frequently mention Dr. Daniel Johnson at Central Park as patient and good with anxious children. www.reddit.com

3. Poplin Pediatric Dentistry — best if you want technology aimed at reducing drilling anxiety
Poplin is farther west, but they stand out because they use Solea laser technology for many fillings, which they say can reduce the need for traditional numbing injections in many cases. austintxpediatricdentist.com
This could be appealing if your kids are especially worried about shots.

4. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — strong restorative focus
They specifically highlight pediatric restorative dentistry, including tooth-colored fillings, and describe a gentle approach for children needing treatment. austinpearlsdental.com

What I’d ask when you call

For fillings, I’d ask:

• “Will the dentist do both children’s fillings in the same visit if appropriate?”
• “Do you use a rubber dam/isolation system for fillings?”
• “What is your approach if a child gets nervous halfway through?”
• “Do you recommend nitrous oxide for routine fillings, or only in certain cases?”
• “Do you use tooth-colored composite fillings for kids?”

If you tell me your kids’ ages, whether they’re anxious about dentists, and roughly where in Crestview you are (near Airport Blvd, Burnet, North Lamar, or Anderson Ln), I can narrow this to the best 1–2 choices.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, I’d lean toward a pediatric dentist rather than a general family dentist for two children who already need fillings—especially if “gentle” and “efficient” are priorities.

My top 3

1. Poplin Pediatric Dentistry — best for minimizing discomfort
   • Northwest Austin, about 9 km from the Crestview area.
   • Their standout feature is Solea laser dentistry; they say they can perform more than 95% of restorations without traditional numbing needles.
   • They specifically do fillings and crowns and emphasize quick, comfortable restorative visits. austintxpediatricdentist.com
   • Caveat: reviews are very positive overall, but there are some reports of less-gentle behavior management with anxious children, so I'd tell them upfront that gentle treatment is your priority.

2. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry — my pick for a calm, traditional pediatric experience
   • Mueller, at 3607 Manor Rd.
   • Both dentists are board-certified pediatric dentists, and they specifically offer tooth-colored fillings and other restorative work. Their stated approach is gentle and step-by-step. austinpearlsdental.com
   • Current local Austin parent recommendations are particularly strong: multiple parents recently recommended Austin Pearls for young children and described their kids as comfortable there. www.reddit.com
   • This would probably be my first call if your children are nervous about dental work.

3. myDental at Norwood Park — best for convenience/efficiency
   • North Austin, with Saturday hours and weekday hours through 6 p.m.
   • They explicitly serve the Crestview/78757 area, offer fillings, and have a kid-oriented environment with TVs, headphones and blankets. Their own site reports 4.9/5 from 1,300+ reviews, and patient reviews mention efficient appointments and gentle treatment. www.mydental.com
   • It's a family/general practice with pediatric dentistry, rather than a pediatric-only office, which is why I'd put it behind Austin Pearls for two kids needing restorative work.

One more I'd consider

Central Park Pediatric Dentistry is another strong option near central Austin. It's pediatric-only, offers fillings/crowns, and has a particularly good reputation for anxiety-aware care.

For your specific situation, I'd call Austin Pearls first, Poplin second. If your kids are particularly needle-phobic, I'd reverse those and call Poplin first because of the laser approach.

When you call, I'd ask one very specific question: “Both of my children need fillings. Can you schedule the restorative visits close together, and what do you use for numbing/comfort for anxious children?” That will tell you a lot about both efficiency and how they approach kids.

If you tell me their ages and roughly where in Crestview you are, I can narrow this to the 3 closest practices and compare reviews, distance, insurance, sedation/laser options, and Saturday availability.
