For a Central Austin patient, I’d start with a specialist who routinely handles the surgical part of implants and has a clear plan for coordinating the crown/restoration and follow-up.

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, very convenient to Central Austin. They perform implant surgery, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and other oral-surgery procedures, and their site specifically describes the implant process and follow-up. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

One important point: implant treatment is often a team process. The oral surgeon/periodontist places the implant, while a restorative dentist or prosthodontist makes and fits the crown. For example, Austin Periodontal explains that the implant surgeon places the implant and the patient's dentist makes the crown, with follow-up shared between the offices. austinperiodontal.com

If you tell me (1) whether she needs one tooth, several teeth, or a full set, (2) roughly where in Central Austin she is, and (3) her dental insurance, I can narrow these down to 2–3 offices to call first, including which ones appear to handle both surgery and follow-up most conveniently.

What I'd ask when you call

Because implant treatment is usually a team process, ask these questions before scheduling surgery:

1. Will the oral surgeon place the implant, and who will place the permanent crown?
2. Do you take a 3-D CBCT scan before surgery?
3. Does she need a bone graft or extraction first?
4. Who handles the post-op checks and how many are included?
5. Will the same office coordinate with her regular/restorative dentist?
6. What will the total estimated cost be, including the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, grafting, and follow-ups?
7. What sedation options are available?

For an older adult, I'd also make sure the surgeon reviews all medications and medical history before surgery, particularly medications that can affect bleeding or bone healing.

If you tell me whether she needs one tooth, several teeth, or a whole arch, and whether she already has a regular dentist, I can narrow this down to the most appropriate type of implant provider and help you compare the Central Austin offices.

Yes. For a mom living in Central Austin, I’d prioritize a periodontist or oral/maxillofacial surgeon for the implant surgery, ideally coordinated with a prosthodontist/general dentist who will make the crown and handle long-term restoration.

My top Central Austin choices

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, very convenient to central Austin.

What I'd do

If this is one or a few teeth, I'd start with Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates or LoneStar OMS and ask for an implant consultation. If she has significant gum disease/bone loss or the case is complicated, I'd lean toward Council Oak Perio.

One important point: the surgeon who places the implant isn't necessarily the dentist who puts the permanent crown on it. The best plan is usually coordinated care: surgeon/periodontist places the implant → healing period → restorative dentist/prosthodontist makes the crown → both continue maintenance. A typical implant can take several months from placement to final restoration. Austin Periodontal Associates Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

When you call, I'd specifically ask:

1. “Do you perform the implant surgery in your office?”
2. “Will you do a 3-D CBCT scan at the consultation?”
3. “Who will make the permanent crown, and do you coordinate with her existing dentist?”
4. “Does she need a bone graft or sinus lift?”
5. “How many post-op visits are included, and who handles complications?”
6. “Can you provide a written total estimate, including the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, grafting and sedation?”

If you tell me whether she needs one tooth, several teeth, or a full-mouth/All-on-4 type implant, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best specialists for her particular situation and compare their location, credentials, reviews, insurance considerations, and likely care model.

For your mom in central Austin, I’d look for a dentist who either:

1. places implants regularly and handles the restoration, or
2. works closely with an oral surgeon/periodontist for the surgical placement and then manages the crown and long-term follow-up.

Here are a few Austin-area options worth calling for an implant consultation:

Implant-focused / specialist options

• “How many implants has the doctor placed?”
• “What happens if bone grafting is needed?”

If you tell me:

• your mom’s age range,
• whether it’s one tooth vs. several teeth vs. dentures/full arch,
• whether she has Medicare, dental insurance, or no insurance, and
• her neighborhood (e.g., Hyde Park, Tarrytown, Mueller, Downtown, etc.),

I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices for her situation.

My top Central Austin options

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400. This is probably my first call for a Central Austin resident.

Their listed number is 512-320-1640. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

What I'd do

I'd call Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates first, and ask for an implant consultation. An implant usually involves two sides of the treatment: the surgeon places the implant, while a restorative dentist/prosthodontist ultimately makes and fits the crown, bridge, or denture. CTX Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

When you call, ask:

1. “Does the surgeon handle the implant placement and any bone grafting?”
2. “Who handles the final crown/bridge, and do you coordinate with that dentist?”
3. “Will Mom get a 3-D CBCT scan before treatment?”
4. “How many post-op visits are included, and who handles complications during healing?”
5. “Can you give us a written estimate for the entire treatment, including the crown—not just the surgical implant?”
6. “Does her dental insurance participate, and can you verify benefits before surgery?”

If you tell me whether she needs one tooth, several teeth, or a full-mouth/denture implant, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices for her particular situation and compare location, specialist credentials, reviews, and likely treatment approach.

Yes. For a mom who lives in Central Austin, I’d prioritize an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) for the surgical placement, ideally coordinated with a restorative dentist/prosthodontist for the crown and long-term follow-up.

My top Central Austin picks

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, near UT. They specifically perform dental implants, bone grafting, and All-on-4 procedures, and use 3D imaging for planning. Their site lists 512-320-1640 for consultations. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

My first choice if convenience and having the surgical specialist nearby are priorities.

• LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Parkway, Suite 2, very convenient for Central Austin. They have a particular emphasis on implant surgery and 3-D treatment planning, and their practice says most surgeries can be scheduled within a week after consultation. Lonestar

A strong option if you want an experienced implant-focused oral surgery practice.

• Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W 38th St., Suite G5.

• Periodontal Surgical Arts — 3423 Bee Caves Rd., Suite C-101. Another specialist practice focused on periodontics and implant surgery, worth considering if bone or gum health is a concern.

What I'd do

I'd start with Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates or LoneStar OMS for an implant consultation. Before scheduling surgery, ask:

1. Will the surgeon take a 3-D CBCT scan and evaluate whether she needs a bone graft or sinus lift?
2. Who will place the final crown—the surgeon, her regular dentist, or a prosthodontist?
3. Who handles the post-op visits and what is the follow-up schedule?
4. What is the total estimated cost, including extraction, grafting, implant, abutment, crown, imaging, and follow-ups?
5. What sedation options are appropriate for her?
6. How will her existing medications and medical history affect surgery/healing?

For your mom in Central Austin, I’d look for a practice that does implant surgery plus the restoration/follow-up plan, or one that closely coordinates an oral surgeon + prosthodontist. Dental implants often involve multiple stages (evaluation/CT scan → possible bone graft → implant placement → healing → crown/bridge or denture attachment), so continuity matters.

Here are several Austin-area options worth calling for a consultation:

Closest Central Austin implant-focused options

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — A strong option if she needs the surgical implant placement done by an oral & maxillofacial surgeon. It is in Central Austin near UT and lists dental implants among its services.

• Good fit if she has a complicated extraction, bone concerns, medical considerations, or wants a surgeon-led approach.

• Good fit if she wants an implant surgeon close to home.

• Worth considering for a surgical consultation.

Practices that may handle more of the “start to finish” implant process

• Often considered by patients needing multiple implants or full-arch solutions.
• Vida Dental South — A Central Austin dental office that advertises implant dentistry and restorative services. Birdeye

• Could be convenient if she prefers staying with one general dental office for follow-up.

2. “Will the same office handle the crown/attachment afterward?”
3. “Do you use 3D CBCT imaging and guided implant planning?”
4. “How many implants like my mom’s case has the doctor placed?”

For a dental implant, I’d look for a practice that can coordinate the surgical placement (often an oral surgeon or periodontist) and the restoration (the crown/tooth portion, usually a general dentist or prosthodontist). For your mom in Central Austin, these are a few places worth considering:

• A periodontics-focused option (gum and implant specialist), which can be helpful if your mom has gum disease, bone loss, or needs specialized implant planning. Find a Dentist

How I’d choose for your mom

When you call, ask:

1. “Do you place implants in-house, or do you refer the surgery out?”
2. “Who will do the crown after the implant heals?”
3. “Do you use 3D CBCT imaging for implant planning?”
4. “How many follow-up visits are included after surgery?”
5. “Can you review my mom’s medications and medical history before scheduling?”

If you tell me:

• her age range,
• whether it’s one tooth or multiple teeth,
• whether the tooth is already missing or needs extraction,
• her dental insurance (if any),
• and what part of Central Austin she’s closest to (Hyde Park, UT area, Tarrytown, Downtown, etc.),

I can narrow this to 2–3 best matches.

My top choices in/near Central Austin

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400. This is my first choice for the surgical side. They perform implants, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and full-arch procedures, and their Central Austin location is convenient. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates
• LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Parkway, Suite 2. Particularly worth considering if you want an oral surgeon with a strong emphasis on implant surgery and 3-D/guided implant planning. Lonestar
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W. 38th St., #51. Another Central Austin option specifically focused on oral surgery and implants, including implant-supported dentures/full-arch treatment.

If follow-up and restoration under one coordinated team are especially important, ClearChoice Dental Implant Center - Austin at 7200 N. Mopac Expy. is worth a consultation. Their Austin center combines oral surgery and prosthodontic care, so there are fewer handoffs between the surgical and restorative phases. ClearChoice

What I'd do

I'd start with Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates and ask for an implant consultation, bringing any existing X-rays/CBCT and her current dentist's records. The consultation should establish whether she needs an extraction, bone graft, implant placement, and who will make/fit the final crown.

One important point: the surgeon who places the implant isn't necessarily the dentist who puts the final tooth on it. A good implant plan should clearly identify both providers and who handles follow-up if something goes wrong. CTX Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

If you tell me whether she needs one tooth, several teeth, or a full set of teeth, and roughly where in Central Austin she is, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 options and give you their phone numbers, locations, insurance information, and how to request the first consultation.

For a dental implant, I’d look for a practice that can coordinate the surgical placement, bone/gum evaluation, and the final crown or denture restoration—especially since your mom may need several visits over months. In Central Austin, these are a few good places to consider:

Implant-focused / surgical options near Central Austin

• Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — A Central Austin periodontal practice focused on gum health and implant surgery. This type of specialist is often a good fit if your mom needs evaluation of bone levels, gum health, bone grafting, or a more complex implant plan.
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — An oral surgery practice near 38th Street that focuses on surgical procedures including implants and bone grafting. This may be a good choice if the implant needs to be placed by an oral surgeon, with her general dentist handling the crown afterward.
• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — Near the UT/Central Austin area, offering oral surgery services including dental implants and related surgical procedures.

Full-service dental offices that can coordinate the whole process

• Elite Dentistry Cosmetic & Implant Center of ATX — An Austin practice focused on implant and restorative dentistry, which may be convenient if your family prefers one office coordinating multiple steps.
• Treaty Oak Dental: Bruce Jay, DDS — A Central Austin family dental practice that provides implant dentistry and restorative care. Treaty Oak Dental Treaty Oak Dental

What I’d ask when calling

1. “Does the dentist/surgeon personally place implants, or is it referred out?”
2. “Will you do a 3D CBCT scan and implant planning before surgery?”
3. “Who handles the final crown—your office or another dentist?”
4. “How many follow-up visits are expected, and who manages complications if healing is delayed?”
5. “Do you work with my mom’s dental insurance, and can you provide a written estimate?”

If you tell me:

• your mom’s age range,
• whether it’s one tooth, several teeth, or full dentures,
• whether she already has a dentist in Austin,
• and her insurance (if any),

I can help narrow this to the best 2–3 options and what type of specialist she likely needs.

For your mom in central Austin, I’d look for a practice that can coordinate the whole implant process: implant planning (3D imaging), surgery/placement, bone grafting if needed, the crown or implant-supported tooth, and follow-up visits. A general dentist may restore the implant, while an oral surgeon or periodontist often places the implant. Here are some strong options to consider:

My suggested starting point

For an older adult needing an implant, I would usually start with:

1. A consultation with an implant-focused dentist/prosthodontist to evaluate the overall plan.
2. An oral surgeon or periodontist consultation if she needs the implant placed surgically, extraction, or bone grafting.
3. Confirm who will handle follow-up care and the final crown before committing.

When you call, ask:

• “Do you place the implant and also restore it, or do you coordinate with another dentist?”
• “Will my mom get a CBCT (3D scan) before surgery?”
• “Who handles post-op checks if there is pain, swelling, or healing issues?”
• “Can you provide a written treatment plan with total costs and timeline?”

If you tell me:

• her age,
• whether it’s one tooth vs multiple teeth/full arch,
• whether the tooth is already missing or needs extraction,
• and her dental insurance (if any),

I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 choices.

Yes. Since your mom is in Central Austin and needs implant surgery plus follow-up, I’d prioritize an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or prosthodontist-led implant team, rather than choosing solely by general-dentist reviews.

My top Central Austin picks

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400. This would be my first call. They specifically perform implant placement, bone grafting and other surgical procedures, and use 3D imaging for planning. Their site describes care from evaluation through implant surgery and follow-up. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

What I'd do

If this is one or a few missing teeth, I'd start with Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates or LoneStar OMS and ask for an implant consultation. The surgeon can determine whether she needs an extraction, bone graft, sinus procedure, or implant placement.

Importantly, the implant surgery and the final crown aren't always done by the same dentist. Implant treatment commonly involves a surgeon placing the implant and a restorative dentist/prosthodontist subsequently making and fitting the crown. CTX Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

When you call, I'd ask:

1. Does the surgeon personally place the implant?
2. Do you provide the crown/restoration and follow-up, or do we need another dentist?
3. Will she receive a CBCT/3-D scan before surgery?
4. Is bone grafting potentially necessary?
5. What is the total estimated cost, including implant, abutment, crown, imaging, grafting and follow-ups?
6. Does her dental insurance cover any portion, and are they in-network?

If you tell me whether she needs one tooth, several teeth, or a whole set of teeth, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best practices for her particular situation and compare location, credentials, reviews, and implant approach.

When you call, I'd ask:

• Jovan Prosthodontics - 4010 Sandy Brook Dr #209, Round Rock, TX 78665, United States

Yes. For central Austin, I’d prioritize a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon for the surgical placement, ideally coordinated with a prosthodontist/general dentist who will place the final crown or bridge.

My top choices

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, near UT/Central Austin. They specifically perform dental implants, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and full-arch implants, and offer 3-D imaging and sedation options. Their published phone number is 512-320-1640. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

Best overall fit if your mom wants a specialist close to central Austin and a conventional oral-surgery approach.

• LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Parkway, Suite 2. This is another established Central Austin oral-surgery practice with a particular emphasis on implant surgery and guided implant placement. Phone: 512-454-6744. Lonestar

Worth comparing with Central Texas OMS, especially if surgical experience and guided placement are priorities.

• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St. #51. They offer implant surgery and use 3-D imaging for planning.

Convenient option if your mom is near the 38th Street/Rosedale area.

• Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W 38th St., Suite G5. This is particularly interesting if she has gum disease, significant bone loss, or needs bone/gum tissue management in addition to the implant. They specialize in periodontal and implant surgery.

One important point about “follow-up”

Implant treatment is usually a team process, rather than one dentist doing everything. The surgeon places the implant and monitors healing; after the implant integrates with the bone, a restorative dentist/prosthodontist places the abutment and crown/bridge. Central Texas OMS describes this sequence explicitly. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

For that reason, when you call, I'd ask:

“My mother needs a dental implant. Do you handle the surgical placement and coordinate the restorative dentist who will place the crown, and will you provide the post-operative follow-up?”

I'd also ask about 3-D/CBCT imaging, bone grafting if necessary, sedation options, total estimated cost, insurance, and who handles complications after surgery.

If you tell me whether she needs one tooth, several teeth, or a full set of teeth replaced, and roughly which part of central Austin she's in, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best specialists for her situation and pull together their contact/scheduling information.

My top Central Austin options

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400. This is probably my first call for a surgical implant consultation. They specialize in oral surgery, implants, bone grafting, and All-on-4, and their office is very central. Their practice says they use 3D imaging and provide care from evaluation through surgical treatment and recovery. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

512-320-1640

• LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Parkway, Suite 2. Another strong Central Austin choice. They specifically emphasize implant-surgery planning and guided implant placement, and their doctors have extensive oral-surgery experience. Lone Star OMS

512-454-6744

• Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W 38th St., Suite G5. Particularly worth considering if your mom has gum disease, bone loss, or other periodontal issues in addition to needing the implant. The practice focuses specifically on periodontal and implant surgery and offers guided/robotic implant placement.
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St. Another convenient Central/North Central option specializing in oral surgery and implants, including more extensive implant-supported restorations.

What I'd do

I'd start with Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates and ask for an implant consultation with 3D/CBCT imaging. An implant often involves more than simply putting in the titanium post: your mom may need an extraction or bone graft first, followed by implant placement, healing, and then a crown/bridge from a restorative dentist. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

When you call, ask these four questions:

1. Does the oral surgeon perform the implant placement personally?
2. Will you coordinate with her general dentist/prosthodontist for the final crown?
3. Does she need a CBCT scan, extraction, bone graft, or sinus lift?
4. What is the complete estimated cost, including surgery, grafting, abutment, crown, and follow-ups?

If you tell me whether she needs one implant, several implants, or a full set of teeth, and whether the tooth is already extracted, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 providers for her specific situation and look up their appointment/contact information.

Yes. For a mom who lives in Central Austin, I’d prioritize a practice with an oral surgeon or periodontist who routinely places implants and can coordinate the surgical and follow-up stages.

My top choices

• Najy Zarroug DDS MD — 711 W 38th St, Suite A-1, right in Central Austin. Dr. Zarroug is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and the office specifically handles dental implants and bone grafting. This would be my first call for a straightforward implant surgery. Austin Oral Surgery
• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St, Suite 400, also very convenient to Central Austin/UT. They perform implant placement, bone grafting, sinus lifts and All-on-4, with 3D imaging and surgical follow-up. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates
• LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Parkway, just north of Central Austin. Their practice specifically emphasizes implant treatment planning and guided implant placement. Lonestar
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St, another convenient Central/North-Central option. They handle implant placement and bone grafting, including All-on-4 cases.

If it were my family, I'd start with Austin Oral Surgery/Dr. Zarroug or Central Texas OMS, particularly if the goal is a specialist who can handle the surgical portion and coordinate follow-up. Implant treatment often involves an initial consultation/3D imaging, possible extraction or bone grafting, implant placement, several months of healing, and then the final crown or bridge with a restorative dentist. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

When you call, I'd ask: “Do you handle both the implant surgery and post-operative follow-up, and will you coordinate with her general/restorative dentist for the final crown?” Also ask for the complete estimated cost, whether a CBCT scan is included, sedation options, and whether her dental insurance is accepted.

If you tell me whether she needs one tooth, several teeth, or a full-mouth implant, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices for her situation.

Yes. For an implant, I’d prioritize an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or periodontist with substantial implant experience, especially if your mom may need an extraction, bone graft, or sedation. The implant surgeon and restorative dentist often coordinate: the surgeon places the implant, while the dentist/prosthodontist ultimately fits the crown. CTX Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

My pick

I'd start with Austin Oral Surgery's Central Austin office because it's very convenient to central Austin and is specifically set up for implant surgery, including the possibility of bone grafting and surgical follow-up. If this is a more complicated case or your mom is missing several teeth, I'd also get a consultation at Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates for a second opinion.

When you call, I'd ask:

1. Will an oral surgeon personally place the implant?
2. Does the consultation include 3-D/CBCT imaging?
3. Who will make and place the final crown?
4. If she needs a bone graft or extraction, can they handle it in the same practice?
5. How are post-op visits and complications handled?
6. What will the total estimated cost be, including the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, grafting, and follow-ups?

If you tell me whether it's one tooth, several teeth, or a full set of teeth, and roughly which part of central Austin she's in, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best choices and compare their location, implant expertise, reviews, and scheduling/contact information.

Yes. For an implant, I’d favor a prosthodontist or periodontist/oral surgeon who routinely handles implant surgery, rather than choosing solely on general-dentist reviews. The ideal setup is also one where the surgeon and restorative dentist coordinate the implant, crown, and follow-up.

My Central Austin shortlist

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, near UT/Central Austin. This would be my first call for the surgical consultation. They specifically perform implants and related procedures such as bone grafting, and their published implant process includes evaluation with imaging, surgical placement, healing, and restoration. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

• Phone: 512-320-1640
• Particularly sensible if your mom may need an extraction or bone graft along with the implant.
• LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Parkway, Suite 2, also very convenient for Central Austin. They specifically emphasize implant-surgery planning and guided implant placement. Lonestar

• Phone: 512-454-6744
• A good alternative if you want a dedicated oral-surgery practice.
• Dr. Mike Williamson: Williamson Perio — 7200 N Mopac Expy, Suite 210. This is a periodontist/implant specialist, which can be particularly useful if your mom has gum disease or needs bone/soft-tissue work around the implant.
• Austin Periodontal Associates — 7800 N Mopac Expy, Suite 310. Another specialty option with implant placement and periodontal expertise; their practice information specifically notes board certification in periodontics and dental implant surgery.

What I'd do

If this is one missing tooth, I'd start with Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates for the surgical evaluation and make sure she has a restorative dentist/prosthodontist lined up for the crown and long-term follow-up. Implant treatment is often a team effort: the surgeon places the implant, while the restorative dentist handles the crown/prosthesis and ongoing maintenance. CTX Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

When you call, ask:

1. Will the same practice handle the implant surgery and post-op visits?
2. Who will make and place the final crown?
3. Will she get a CBCT/3-D scan before surgery?
4. Does she need an extraction, bone graft, or sinus procedure first?
5. What is the complete estimated cost, including surgery, abutment, crown, imaging, and follow-ups?
6. What happens if the implant doesn't integrate with the bone?

I would not schedule the surgery solely over the phone—schedule a consultation first so the surgeon can review her X-rays/3-D imaging, dental history, medications, and overall suitability.

If you tell me how many teeth she needs replaced (one vs. several/full arch), whether the tooth is already out or needs extraction, and roughly where in Central Austin she lives, I can narrow this to the 2 best practices for her situation and give you their official scheduling pages and phone numbers.

Yes. For central Austin, I’d prioritize an oral surgeon or periodontist for the surgical placement, paired with a prosthodontist/general dentist for the crown and long-term follow-up.

My top choices

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400. This is my strongest starting point for a surgical implant consultation. They specifically perform implant placement, bone grafting and sinus lifts, and their site describes coordination with the restoring dentist through the implant process. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates
• LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Parkway. A particularly good option if your mom needs careful implant planning or guided implant surgery; the practice says implant treatment planning and guided placement are major areas of emphasis. Lone Star OMS
• Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W. 38th St. Worth considering when gum health, bone loss, or periodontal issues are part of the picture. It's a specialty periodontal/implant practice and is very convenient to central Austin.
• Eggleston Oral and Facial Surgery — 1209 W. 5th St. Another very central option for oral surgery and implant placement.

For the restorative/follow-up side, Lisa R Burkett, DDS MS is a prosthodontic practice that specifically provides implant restoration and complex restorative care. Burkett Dental

What I'd do

I'd call Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates first and ask for an implant consultation. When scheduling, tell them:

“My mother needs a dental implant. We'd like an evaluation of the tooth and bone, a surgical plan, and coordination with a dentist/prosthodontist who will handle the permanent crown and follow-up.”

If she has significant bone loss, gum disease, multiple missing teeth, or is considering several implants, I'd also get a second opinion from a periodontist such as Council Oak.

One important point: implant surgery and the final tooth aren't necessarily done by the same dentist. The surgeon places the implant; after it heals, the restorative dentist/prosthodontist typically makes and fits the crown, bridge, or denture. CTX Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

If you tell me whether she needs one implant, several implants, or a full-arch/“All-on-4” type solution, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 offices for her situation and compare credentials, reviews, location, insurance, and likely process.

Yes. For a mom living in Central Austin, I’d prioritize a practice that can coordinate both the surgical implant placement and the restoration/follow-up, rather than choosing solely on general-dentistry reviews.

My top Central Austin options

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, Austin 78705. This is my first choice if the priority is a qualified oral surgeon for the surgical portion. They specifically perform implant placement, extractions, bone grafting and other pre-implant procedures, and their site says they use 3-D imaging to evaluate bone and anatomy. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

Phone: 512-320-1640.

• LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Pkwy., Suite 2, Austin 78756. Also a very good Central Austin surgical option. They specifically emphasize implant treatment planning and guided implant placement, and have been practicing in Central Austin for many years. Lone Star OMS

Phone: 512-454-6744.

• Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W. 38th St., Suite G5, Austin 78705. I'd particularly consider this if your mom has gum disease, gum recession, or bone loss, since a periodontist specializes in the tissues and bone supporting implants.

One important point

For many patients, implant treatment is a two-provider process: an oral surgeon or periodontist places the implant, while a restorative dentist/prosthodontist makes and fits the crown, bridge, or denture. CTX Oral Surgery explicitly describes this division of care. CTX Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

So when you call, I'd ask:

“My mother needs a dental implant. Do you coordinate the entire process, including the implant surgery, restoration, and postoperative follow-up, or will we need a separate restorative dentist?”

I'd also ask about CBCT/3-D imaging, bone grafting if necessary, sedation options, total treatment cost, and who handles complications or follow-up after surgery.

If you tell me whether she needs one tooth, several teeth, or a full set/dentures, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best-fit specialists in Central Austin and give you their contact/website information.

What I'd do

For a single missing tooth, I'd start with Central Texas OMS and ask them:

“We’re looking for an implant consultation for my mother. Does the surgeon handle the implant placement and follow-up, and do you coordinate with her general dentist for the final crown? Do you perform a CBCT scan at the consultation?”

That last question matters because implant treatment often involves two providers: the oral surgeon places the implant, while a restorative dentist/prosthodontist makes and fits the final crown. CTX Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

If she's missing several teeth or an entire arch, tell me that when you call—I would change the recommendation toward a prosthodontist/oral-surgeon team experienced in full-arch implants.

If you'd like, I can also narrow this to 2–3 practices based on her insurance, whether she needs one tooth vs. multiple teeth, and whether sedation is important, and give you the direct scheduling links.

What I'd do

If this is one or a few teeth, I'd start by calling an oral surgeon such as Austin Oral Surgery and asking for an implant consultation. The surgeon can determine whether she needs an extraction, bone graft, sinus lift, or other preparation. Implant placement and the eventual crown/restoration are often separate stages; healing can take several months. Austin Oral Surgery Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

When you call, ask:

1. Does the surgeon place the implant and coordinate directly with the dentist/prosthodontist who will make the crown?
2. Will a CBCT/3-D scan be done before surgery?
3. Does she need a bone graft or extraction first?
4. Who handles post-op visits and the final crown?
5. What is the estimated total cost, including imaging, extraction/grafting, implant, abutment, crown and follow-ups?
6. Do they accept her dental insurance, and will they provide a pre-treatment estimate?

If you tell me whether she needs one implant, several implants, or a full set of teeth/dentures, and whether she has dental insurance, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best practices for her situation and compare them on location, credentials, implant services, and likely out-of-pocket considerations.

What I'd do

I'd start with Austin Oral Surgery / Dr. Zarroug and ask for an implant consultation, not immediately schedule surgery. The consultation should determine whether she needs an extraction, bone graft, sinus procedure, or other preparation first.

One important point: the implant surgery and the final crown are often handled by different specialists. The oral surgeon places the implant, while a restorative/general dentist or prosthodontist usually makes and attaches the final crown. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates So when you call, I'd specifically ask:

“Can your office coordinate the entire implant process, including the surgical placement, healing follow-ups, and coordination with the dentist who will place the final crown?”

Also ask about 3D/CBCT imaging, sedation options, total estimated cost, insurance, and who handles urgent postoperative issues.

If you tell me roughly where in Central Austin she lives (neighborhood or ZIP code) and whether this is one tooth, several teeth, or a full-arch implant, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best choices and compare their locations, credentials, reviews, and implant services.

Since you said Central Austin, I’d prioritize an oral surgeon or periodontist who routinely places implants rather than choosing a general dentist solely for the implant procedure.

My top choices

   • Very central, near UT.
   • Specifically performs implant placement, bone grafting and other pre-implant surgery.

   • Phone: 512-454-6744.

3. Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W. 38th St., Suite G5

   • The practice focuses specifically on periodontics and implant surgery and advertises CBCT 3D imaging and guided implant placement. www.counciloakperio.com

4. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W. 38th St.
   • Convenient Central/North Central location.
   • Offers implant surgery, including more extensive implant-supported restorations, and uses 3D cone-beam imaging for planning.

If this were my family member, I'd start with Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates or LoneStar OMS and ask for an implant consultation. For a straightforward single-tooth implant, either should be a reasonable place to get an expert surgical evaluation; if there is significant gum/bone disease, I'd also get the periodontist consultation.

One important point: implant treatment is usually a team process. The surgeon places the implant, while a restorative dentist/prosthodontist generally makes and attaches the final crown. Central Texas OMS explicitly describes that division of care. centraltexasoms.comcentraltexasoms.com Ask the office who will handle the crown and whether they coordinate the entire process and follow-ups.

When you call, I'd ask:

• Does Mom need an extraction or bone graft first?
• Will you take a CBCT/3D scan before surgery?
• Who places the implant and who makes the final crown?
• How many post-op visits are included?
• What is the total estimated cost, including extraction, grafting, implant, abutment and crown?
• Does her dental insurance cover any portion?

If you tell me whether she needs one implant, several implants, or a full set of teeth, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 practices for her situation and compare their credentials, reviews, location, and implant approach.

Yes. Since your mom is in Central Austin, I’d prioritize a specialist who can handle the implant surgery and coordinate the restoration/follow-up, rather than choosing a general dentist solely from reviews.

My top Central Austin choices

1. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St #51
   • Very convenient for Central Austin.
   • Dedicated oral-surgery practice with implant placement and reconstructive procedures.
   • The practice reports 3-D technology and sedation options; current business results show a 4.5/5 rating from 120 reviews. reviews.birdeye.com
   • Good choice if the main need is the surgical placement of the implant.

2. LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Pkwy #2
   • Another very central option.
   • Offers implant surgery and 3-D implant treatment planning with surgical guidance. reviews.birdeye.com
   • Good choice if you want an established oral-surgery practice and potentially a more complex surgical workup.

3. Dr. Mike Williamson: Williamson Perio — 7200 N Mopac Expy #210
   • A periodontist, which is particularly relevant when implants involve gum disease, bone loss, bone grafting, or sinus-lift considerations.
   • Offers single implants through full-arch treatment and bone procedures.
   • This would be my pick to consider if your mom has gum/bone issues or the implant site is complicated.

4. Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group — 1500 W 38th St #34
   • Particularly interesting for the restorative/follow-up side: implant crowns, bridges, implant-supported dentures and full-arch reconstruction.
   • A prosthodontist is focused specifically on restoring missing teeth and getting the final bite/function right.
   • This could be a good partner to an oral surgeon if the surgeon doesn't provide the final crown.

What I'd do for your mom

For a single missing tooth, I'd start with Widner Elite or LoneStar for an implant consultation and ask whether they coordinate directly with the dentist who will make the crown.

If she has significant bone loss, gum disease, a previous failed implant, or needs a bone graft, I'd lean toward Williamson Perio.

One important point: implant treatment commonly involves two specialties—the person who surgically places the implant and the dentist/prosthodontist who eventually puts the crown on it. I'd ask the office whether they provide both phases or have a specific restorative dentist they work with.

You can also use the practice's official site to contact Austin Oral Surgery's Central Austin office, which is at 711 W 38th St and specifically advertises implant surgery. austinoralsurgery.com Austin Oral Surgery – Central Austin

If you tell me whether she needs one implant or several, whether the tooth is already out, her dental insurance (if any), and roughly what part of Central Austin she's in, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 offices and compare their implant experience, reviews, location, and insurance/payment options.

Yes. For central Austin, I’d prioritize an oral/maxillofacial surgeon for the surgical placement and make sure there is a clear plan for the restorative dentist/prosthodontist who will place the final crown, bridge, or denture. Implant treatment is often a team effort rather than one dentist doing every step. ctxoralsurgery.comcentraltexasoms.com

My top choices

• Najy Zarroug DDS MD — 711 W 38th St, Suite A-1. This is probably my first call for your mom because it's genuinely central, the practice is specifically an oral-surgery office, and the Central Austin location performs dental implants and bone grafting. The office lists Dr. Zarroug as board-certified. austinoralsurgery.com

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400. Particularly worth considering if she may need an extraction, bone graft, or more involved surgical work in addition to the implant. Their site specifically describes implant placement and evaluation of the jawbone/3-D imaging. ctxoralsurgery.comcentraltexasoms.com

• Dr. Mike Williamson: Williamson Perio — 7200 N MoPac, Suite 210. I'd consider this if gum disease, inadequate gum tissue, or bone issues are part of the picture, since periodontists specialize in the tissues supporting teeth and implants.

One important consideration

If by "follow-up" you mean the entire process through the finished tooth, I'd ask the surgeon before scheduling: “Who will restore the implant, and do you coordinate directly with the restorative dentist?” Some practices handle surgery while another dentist/prosthodontist handles the crown. ctxoralsurgery.comcentraltexasoms.com

If you tell me whether your mom needs one implant, several implants, or a full set of teeth, and whether she already has a regular dentist, I can narrow this to the best 1–2 choices and give you the phone numbers and scheduling links.

Yes. For a mom in central Austin, I’d favor a practice that can coordinate the surgical implant placement and the restorative/follow-up work, rather than choosing solely on proximity.

2. Their Austin center has both oral surgeons and prosthodontists, and the practice describes a workflow where the surgical and restorative teams collaborate throughout treatment. ClearChoice ClearChoice
3. I'd compare their written treatment plan and total price against an independent oral surgeon before committing.

What I'd do

I'd start by calling Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates and LoneStar OMS for consultations, then compare:

• Whether she needs an extraction first
• Whether she needs a bone graft or sinus lift
• 3-D/CBCT imaging and surgical planning
• Who places the implant versus who makes the crown
• How many follow-up visits are included
• Total cost, including grafting, imaging, anesthesia, implant, abutment and crown
• Who handles complications or implant follow-up later

One important point: implant surgery and the final crown are often performed by different specialists. So when you call, specifically ask: “Can you coordinate the entire implant process, including the restorative dentist and follow-up, or will we need to find the crown dentist ourselves?”

If you tell me roughly where in central Austin she lives (neighborhood or ZIP), whether it's one tooth or several, and whether she already has a general dentist, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 practices for her situation and give you their contact/scheduling information.

For your mom in central Austin, I’d look for a provider who does implant surgery regularly and can coordinate the whole process (consultation → imaging → implant placement → healing checks → restoration with a crown/bridge). For many patients, the implant is placed by an oral surgeon or periodontist, while a general dentist or prosthodontist completes the final tooth. Here are several strong options near central Austin:

2. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — very close to central Austin with implant specialization.
3. Austin Periodontal Associates — especially if gum/bone health may affect implant success. www.austinperiodontal.com

When you call, I’d ask:

• “Do you handle the implant placement and follow-up, or only the surgery?”
• “Who places the final crown?”
• “Will you do a CBCT (3D scan) before surgery?”
• “Can you provide a full written estimate including extraction, grafting (if needed), implant, abutment, and crown?”
• “Do you coordinate with her current dentist?”

If you tell me how many teeth she needs replaced (one tooth vs several/full arch), her age range, whether she has bone loss or dentures, and her dental insurance (if any), I can help narrow the choice.

Absolutely. For a family member in central Austin, I’d prioritize a practice that can handle the surgical implant placement and the follow-up, while coordinating with the dentist who will place the final crown.

   • Austin Oral Surgery — Central Austin

One important point

For an implant, there are usually two providers involved: the oral surgeon/periodontist places the implant in the jaw, while a general dentist or prosthodontist makes and attaches the final crown. Some offices coordinate the whole process, but I would specifically ask about this when scheduling.

When you call, I'd say:

“My mom needs a dental implant and lives in central Austin. We'd like an initial implant consultation, including imaging and evaluation for bone grafting if necessary. Can your office handle the implant surgery and post-op follow-up, and do you coordinate with the dentist who will place the final crown?”

Also ask for a written treatment plan and estimated total cost, including the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, extraction/bone graft if needed, sedation, and follow-ups.

If you tell me roughly where in central Austin she lives (e.g. Hyde Park, West Campus, Downtown, Tarrytown, Mueller) and whether this is one missing tooth vs. several, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best choices and compare credentials, reviews, distance, and implant-specific experience.

Since your mom lives in Central Austin, I’d start with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon rather than a general dentist for the surgical placement. Ideally, the surgeon and restoring dentist coordinate the entire process.

   • Central Texas OMS

4. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St
   • Particularly convenient for Central Austin and focused on oral surgery and implants. Their practice handles implant placement and cases involving extractions/bone grafting.

One important point about “follow-up”

For a conventional implant, there are usually two providers: the oral surgeon places the implant, while a general dentist/prosthodontist typically designs and places the crown after the implant heals. Central Texas OMS explicitly describes this division of care. centraltexasoms.com

If your mom has multiple missing teeth, dentures, significant bone loss, or needs a full-mouth reconstruction, I'd strongly consider having a prosthodontist develop the overall plan before surgery. Lisa Burkett, DDS, MS & Robert Klink, DDS is one Austin practice specializing in implant restoration and comprehensive prosthodontics. www.lburkettdental.com

If this were my family, I'd call LoneStar OMS first and ask for an implant consultation, specifically asking whether they coordinate directly with her current dentist for the crown/restoration and follow-up.

Before scheduling surgery, I'd also ask for a written estimate covering the implant, extraction if needed, bone grafting/CT scan, anesthesia, abutment, crown, and follow-up visits—because those can be billed separately.

Yes. For a mom living in Central Austin, I’d prioritize an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) who does the surgical implant placement and has a clear relationship with the restorative dentist who will place the crown. Implant treatment is often a team effort: the surgeon places the implant, while the restorative dentist/prosthodontist handles the final tooth. ctxoralsurgery.comcentraltexasoms.com

   • Phone: 512-391-0011

What I'd do

I'd call LoneStar OMS and Central Texas OMS first, tell them your mom needs an implant, and ask for an implant consultation with the surgeon. Before booking surgery, I'd specifically ask:

• Does she need an extraction or bone graft first?
• Will they obtain a CBCT/3-D scan?
• Who will place the final crown—their office or her regular dentist?
• How many post-op visits are included, and who handles complications after surgery?
• What are the total surgeon, imaging, anesthesia, grafting and restoration costs?
• Does her dental insurance cover any portion?

One important point: I wouldn't choose solely on online ratings. For an older adult especially, the surgeon should review her medications and medical history and determine whether anything could affect healing or sedation. The implant consultation is the right place to make that assessment.

If you tell me whether she needs one tooth, several teeth, or a full set of teeth, and whether she already has a general dentist in Austin, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 practices for her particular situation and pull their official scheduling pages.

Absolutely. Since your mom lives in Central Austin, I’d favor a practice that can handle the surgical implant placement and ongoing follow-up, ideally coordinating with a prosthodontist for the final crown or teeth.

My top Central Austin choices

• LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Pkwy #2, Austin 78756. This is probably my first call for your situation. They specifically emphasize implant-surgery planning and guided implant placement, and their practice is right in Central Austin.

• Austin Periodontal Associates — 7800 N Mopac Expy #310, Austin 78759. I'd particularly consider this if your mom has gum disease, bone loss, or needs gum/bone grafting in addition to the implant. It's a periodontal/implant specialty practice.

If this is a complicated or full-mouth implant case

Smile Boutique Implant Center in North Austin is a prosthodontic-focused practice specializing in complex implant restorations and full-arch treatment. A prosthodontist can be especially useful when the case involves several teeth, dentures, or significant cosmetic/bite considerations.

For a typical single missing tooth, though, I'd start with LoneStar OMS or Widner Elite and ask them to evaluate whether she needs an extraction, bone graft, implant placement, and who will place the final crown.

When you call, ask these 5 things:

1. Does the oral surgeon personally place the implant?
2. Do they perform a 3-D/CBCT scan during the evaluation?
3. If bone grafting is needed, can they do it in the same practice?
4. Who handles the final crown/restoration, and will they coordinate directly with that dentist?
5. What follow-up visits are included after surgery, and what happens if there's a healing complication?

If you tell me whether she needs one implant, several implants, or a full set of teeth, and whether she already has a general dentist in Austin, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 practices for her specific situation and give you their contact/appointment links.

Yes. For your mom in Central Austin, I’d lean toward a specialist-led implant team rather than choosing a general dentist solely because they advertise implants. Ideally, the surgeon places the implant and a prosthodontist/general dentist handles the final crown and long-term follow-up.

   • Good option for a second surgical opinion.

3. Lisa R Burkett, DDS MS — 6818 Austin Center Blvd
   • A prosthodontist, which is especially relevant if your mom needs a complex restoration, multiple implants, or careful attention to the final teeth/bite.
   • The practice focuses on prosthodontics and implant restoration. Healthgrades also lists Dr. Burkett as a prosthodontist and includes a patient testimonial specifically describing referral for tooth replacement. www.healthgrades.com
   • I'd consider her particularly strongly for the restorative/follow-up side.

4. Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin
   • More southwest Austin, so less convenient from central Austin.
   • Implant placement, CBCT planning and guided surgery are among its services.
   • 4.5/5 from 37 reviews in the business results.

Another very central option

Austin Oral Surgery – Central Austin has a dedicated Central Austin office at 711 W 38th St and says its board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons perform dental implant procedures. austinoralsurgery.com

What I'd do for your mom

I'd start with Widner Elite for a surgical consultation, and if the case is at all complicated, get a second opinion from a prosthodontist such as Lisa Burkett before committing. For an implant, I'd want the consultation to include a 3-D/CBCT evaluation, discussion of whether bone grafting is necessary, the surgeon/restorative dentist's respective responsibilities, and a written total-cost estimate covering the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, grafting, anesthesia, and follow-ups.

If you tell me what tooth/teeth she needs replaced (e.g., one molar vs. several teeth/full arch), her approximate age, and whether she has dental insurance, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best choices and check their current appointment/consultation options and insurance compatibility.

For a dental implant, I’d look for a practice that can coordinate the surgical placement, the restoration (crown/bridge), imaging, and long-term follow-up—especially for an older adult. In Central Austin, these are a few strong options to consider:

Good implant-focused choices near Central Austin

1. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

• Best fit if your mom needs the implant surgery itself (extraction, bone grafting, implant placement, complex cases).
• Oral surgery–focused practice; located near Central Austin.
• They can typically coordinate with a general/restorative dentist for the final crown or prosthetic tooth.

2. LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

• Central Austin oral surgery office with implant surgery and 3-D treatment planning.
• A good option if your mom has concerns such as limited bone, need for grafting, anxiety about surgery, or a medically complex history.

3. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

• Near the UT/Central Austin area and focused on oral surgery procedures including dental implants and related pre-implant procedures.

4. Williamson Perio

• A periodontics/implant-focused practice in North Central Austin that handles implant placement and bone-related procedures.
• Periodontists can be especially useful when gum health or bone support is a concern.

5. Austin Periodontal Associates

• Another implant-focused periodontal practice near North Central Austin; good for evaluation of gum and bone conditions before implant treatment.

If you prefer one office to manage more of the process

A general dentist with implant services can be convenient because your mom may have fewer handoffs:

• Treaty Oak Dental — offers implant dentistry and is in Central Austin. treatyoakdental.com
• Vida Dental Central Austin — offers implant consultations and restorative dental care. www.vidadentalsmiles.com

Before scheduling, I’d ask:

1. “Do you place the implant in-house, or refer the surgery out?”
2. “Who will make and place the final crown?”
3. “Will my mom need a CBCT 3-D scan, bone graft, or sinus lift?”
4. “How many implant cases like hers do you handle each month?”
5. “What follow-up schedule do you provide after placement?”

If you tell me:

• your mom’s age range,
• whether it’s one tooth vs multiple teeth/full arch,
• whether the tooth is already missing or needs extraction,
• her dental insurance (if any),

I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices.

Absolutely. Since she lives in Central Austin, I’d prioritize a practice that can coordinate the surgical implant placement and the restorative/follow-up work, rather than choosing a general dentist solely on convenience.

My top Central Austin options

1. LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Pkwy, Austin 78756

This is probably my first call for the surgical side. Their practice specifically emphasizes dental implant surgery and 3-D implant treatment planning/guided placement. Dr. Ronald Horne has a longstanding focus on implant surgery. www.lonestaroms.com
Phone: (512) 454-6744.

2. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St #51, Austin 78731

Very convenient to Central Austin and specifically focused on oral surgery and dental implants. The practice handles implant placement, extractions and bone grafting, so it's a good option if your mom may need preparatory work.
Phone: (512) 452-3223.

3. Lisa R. Burkett, DDS, MS — 6818 Austin Center Blvd, Austin 78731

I'd consider this one particularly for the restorative/follow-up phase. Dr. Burkett and Dr. Klink are prosthodontists, and the practice specializes in implant restoration and complex restorative dentistry. www.lburkettdental.com
Phone: (512) 458-1162.

4. Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group — 1500 W 38th St #34, Austin 78731

Another Central Austin prosthodontic option for the crown/implant restoration and longer-term follow-up, including complex and full-arch implant cases.

One particularly convenient alternative

Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin is farther south at 5301 Davis Ln, but they specifically perform implant surgery, including computer-guided implant placement and full-arch cases. If your mom needs a more complicated implant, they're worth considering.

What I'd do: Start with LoneStar OMS or Widner Elite for a surgical consultation, and ask whether they coordinate with a prosthodontist for the crown and follow-up. If she already has a regular dentist, ask that dentist for her X-rays/CBCT and records so the implant surgeon can review them.

For the consultation, I'd specifically ask about bone grafting, 3-D/CBCT imaging, sedation options, total cost including the crown, who places the final crown, and who handles post-op complications/follow-up. Implant treatment can involve several stages over months, so knowing who owns each part of the process is important. centraltexasoms.com

If you tell me roughly where in Central Austin she lives (e.g., Hyde Park, Tarrytown, Mueller, Downtown, West Austin) and whether she needs one implant or several, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices and give you their contact/scheduling links.

Yes. For an implant, I’d favor a periodontist or oral & maxillofacial surgeon who routinely places implants, rather than choosing a general dentist solely on reviews. Ideally, the surgeon and restorative dentist coordinate the implant, crown, and follow-up.

For central Austin, these stand out:

1. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St.

A very convenient central-Austin option specializing in oral surgery and dental implants. It has a 4.5/5 rating from 120 reviews. Local Austin recommendations specifically mention Dr. Widner for implants and praise his surgical skill and explanations to patients/families. www.reddit.com

2. Melanie D Robinson DDS, MS — 3305 Northland Dr., Suite 204.

This would be my periodontist pick if your mom has gum disease, bone loss, recession, or may need a bone graft. The practice focuses on periodontal and implant surgery, and its patient-review page currently shows 4.91/5 across more than 110 reviews, including recent 2026 reviews. www.austinperiodontics.com

3. LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Pkwy.

Another genuinely central option. They specifically offer implant surgery and 3-D/guided implant planning, and the practice describes its surgeons as experienced in implant treatment planning.

4. Dr. Mike Williamson: Williamson Perio — 7200 N. MoPac Expy.

A good choice if the case might involve bone grafting or a sinus lift in addition to the implant. The practice specializes in periodontal and implant surgery.

What I'd do for your mom

I'd start with Dr. Robinson or Widner Elite and ask specifically for an implant consultation, not just a routine dental appointment. Bring any existing X-rays/CBCT scans and her medication/medical history.

At the consultation, ask:

• Who will actually place the implant?
• Will she need an extraction, bone graft, or sinus lift first?
• Who will make and place the final crown?
• What is the total cost from extraction through final crown and follow-ups?
• How many visits should the family expect?
• What sedation options are available?
• Who handles complications or follow-up if healing isn't normal?
• Does the office coordinate directly with her general dentist?

One important point: implant surgery and the final crown are often separate phases, so I'd want the office to give you a written treatment plan showing both surgical and restorative costs before scheduling.

If you tell me roughly where in Central Austin she lives (neighborhood or ZIP), whether it's one tooth or several, and whether she already has a general dentist, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best choices for her situation and give you their contact/scheduling links.

Yes. Since your mom is in Central Austin, I’d prioritize a practice that either handles the full implant process or has a well-defined surgeon/restorative-dentist partnership.

My top choices

1. LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — 4306 Medical Pkwy #2, Austin

This would be my first call for the surgical side. They specifically emphasize dental implant surgery and treatment planning, including 3-D planning and guided implant placement. Their Central Austin location is convenient, and their practice has substantial implant experience. www.lonestaroms.com

2. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St #51, Austin

Another strong Central Austin option for implant surgery, particularly if an extraction or bone graft may be needed at the same time.

3. Austin Oral Surgery – Central Austin — 711 W 38th St, Suite A-1

This is a dedicated oral-surgery practice with board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons and specifically offers dental implants. Their Central Austin office lists 512-454-6725 for consultations. austinoralsurgery.com

4. Austin Periodontal Associates — 7800 N Mopac Expy #310

I'd particularly consider this if your mom has gum disease, gum recession, or significant bone loss, since periodontists specialize in the tissues and bone supporting implants. The practice specifically offers implant placement and is board-certified in periodontics and implant surgery.

One important point

Implant treatment is often a two-provider process: an oral surgeon or periodontist places the implant, while a restorative dentist/prosthodontist makes and attaches the crown. Central Texas OMS, for example, explicitly describes this division of care. ctxoralsurgery.com

So when you call, I'd ask:

“My mother needs a dental implant. Do you handle the consultation, implant surgery, and postoperative follow-up, and do you coordinate with the dentist who will place the permanent crown?”

Also ask whether she needs 3-D/CBCT imaging, bone grafting, or an extraction, and request an itemized estimate separating the surgical and crown/restorative costs.

If you want the simplest Central Austin starting point, I'd call LoneStar OMS or Austin Oral Surgery first. If you tell me whether this is one tooth, several teeth, or a full set of teeth, I can narrow it down further and look at their credentials, reviews, insurance/financing, and how well they handle follow-up care.

For your mom in central Austin, I’d look for a practice that can coordinate the full implant process: evaluation/3D imaging → implant placement surgery (often by an oral surgeon) → healing checks → final crown/bridge placement with a restorative dentist.
