If the accident was recent, I wouldn’t schedule directly for implants yet. With multiple teeth lost from trauma, the first priority is making sure the jaw, remaining teeth, gums, and bone are stable. Implant reconstruction is usually planned after that assessment.

My first choice for your situation

I’d start with Travis W Kern, DDS, MD at Austin Oral Surgery’s North Central Austin office. Dr. Kern is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with fellowship training in reconstructive surgery, and his listed interests include facial trauma, bone grafting, and dental implantology. Austin Oral Surgery specifically treats avulsed teeth, fractured facial bones and jaws, and provides both immediate trauma care and long-term reconstruction. austinoralsurgery.com

Phone: (512) 346-7949 austinoralsurgery.com

Austin Oral Surgery — Dr. Kern / North Central Austin

Then I'd pair that with a prosthodontist

For the actual full-mouth/implant reconstruction and final teeth, I'd strongly consider Lisa R Burkett, DDS MS. She and Robert Klink are prosthodontists who specifically handle full-mouth rehabilitation and implant restoration, which is the specialty I'd want designing the final bite and teeth rather than having the implant surgeon make all the restorative decisions alone. www.lburkettdental.com

Burkett & Klink Prosthodontics

The plan I'd ask them to build

1. Trauma evaluation ASAP — 3D/CBCT imaging, examination of the jaw and remaining teeth, and assessment for fractures, root damage, infection, or retained fragments.
2. Save anything salvageable — don't assume every injured tooth needs extraction.
3. Stabilize the mouth — treat wounds/infection and address any jaw or bite problems.
4. Temporary teeth/esthetic solution if needed while tissues heal.
5. Bone evaluation — trauma can leave insufficient bone for implants; grafting may be necessary.
6. Prosthodontic treatment plan — determine whether you need individual implants, an implant-supported bridge, or a full-arch reconstruction.
7. Implant placement after the bone and soft tissue are ready.
8. Healing/integration, followed by the permanent crowns/bridge/full-arch prosthesis.
9. Long-term maintenance and periodic implant/bite checks.

I'd specifically ask the two doctors to coordinate the treatment plan before you commit to expensive implant work. That helps prevent a situation where implants are placed first and the restorative dentist has to work around their position.

If you have uncontrolled bleeding, rapidly increasing facial swelling, trouble breathing/swallowing, loss of consciousness, severe jaw deformity, or suspected major facial/jaw fracture, go to an emergency department rather than waiting for a dental appointment.

If you tell me how long ago the accident happened, which teeth were lost (upper/lower and approximate numbers), and whether you were already treated at an ER, I can map out what you should do this week → next few weeks → implant phase → final reconstruction, including what questions to ask and what costs to expect.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with that — losing multiple teeth after an accident usually needs a coordinated reconstruction plan, not just a single implant appointment. For a case like yours near Crestview (north-central Austin), I’d prioritize a team that can handle trauma history + bone evaluation + implant surgery + final teeth/restoration.

A good first appointment: oral surgeon or implant reconstruction specialist

My shortlist in Austin:

1. Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin — a strong first stop if the accident involved facial trauma, missing teeth, extractions, jaw injury, or possible bone loss. They focus on oral/maxillofacial surgery, implants, and trauma-related care. Oss Austin
2. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — focused on implant surgery and complex oral surgery, including reconstructive cases and bone grafting. Widner Oms
3. Smile Boutique Implant Center | Dr. Afsaneh Rad, D.M.D., M.Sc., M.M.Sc. — worth considering if you need extensive restorative planning such as full-arch reconstruction or complex implant restorations.
4. Juan Vesga, DDS / Advanced Prosthodontics — a prosthodontist can be valuable for the final appearance, bite, and long-term function after implants are placed.

The reconstruction pathway I would expect

At your first consultation, ask for a plan that covers:

1. Trauma assessment

• Review accident records and any ER imaging
• Check whether jawbone, gums, nerves, or remaining teeth were damaged
• Determine whether any teeth can be saved

2. 3D imaging and implant planning

Expect:

• CBCT (3D scan)
• Bone-volume assessment
• Digital implant planning
• Discussion of whether grafting is needed

3. Temporary teeth (important)

Ask what you will have during healing:

• Temporary partial denture
• Temporary bridge
• Immediate provisional teeth (if appropriate)

4. Surgical phase

Possible steps:

• Tooth removal if damaged teeth remain
• Bone grafting/ridge preservation
• Implant placement
• Healing period

5. Final restoration

Options may include:

• Individual implant crowns
• Implant-supported bridge
• Full-arch fixed teeth (“All-on-X” style) if many teeth are missing

Questions to ask when you call

You can say:

“I lost multiple teeth in an accident near Crestview and need a full implant reconstruction plan. Do you handle traumatic tooth loss cases, CBCT planning, bone grafting, and coordination with a restorative dentist?”

Also ask:

• “Will I see the surgeon who places the implants?”
• “Who designs and places the final teeth?”
• “Do you coordinate surgery and prosthodontic restoration?”
• “Can you provide a written phased treatment plan and total estimate?”

If the accident was recent (especially if you have swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, jaw instability, numbness, or a possible fracture), prioritize an oral/maxillofacial surgeon evaluation rather than waiting for a routine implant consult. Oss Austin

If you tell me how many teeth you lost (front vs back, upper/lower), when the accident happened, and whether you have insurance, I can help narrow the best type of specialist and likely reconstruction route.

If the accident was recent (especially if you have swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, jaw instability, numbness, or a possible fracture), prioritize an oral/maxillofacial surgeon evaluation rather than waiting for a routine implant consult.

If you lost multiple teeth in an accident, I would not start by choosing a clinic that simply advertises “same-day implants.” For a case involving trauma and several missing teeth, you want a prosthodontist-led reconstruction plan, with an oral surgeon/periodontist involved if you need bone or soft-tissue reconstruction.

My Austin shortlist

• Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group — my first choice for a complex reconstruction consultation. It is prosthodontics-focused and specifically handles trauma, multiple missing teeth, implants, full-mouth reconstruction and full-arch restorations. Their practice describes a prosthodontically driven approach to both the surgical and restorative aspects of implant cases. Fredrick Shaw DDS Fredrick Shaw DDS
• Smile Boutique Implant Center | Dr. Afsaneh Rad, D.M.D., M.Sc., M.M.Sc. — strong option if aesthetics are especially important. It focuses on prosthodontics, full-mouth rehabilitation and full-arch implant restoration. Smile Boutique Implant Center
• Juan Vesga, DDS / Advanced Prosthodontics — another specialist-level option for complex reconstruction, implants and full-arch replacement.
• Nuvia Dental Implant Center — worth considering if you're specifically looking at full-arch treatment, but I'd get an independent prosthodontic opinion before committing to an irreversible full-arch approach.
• Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin — particularly useful if the accident caused significant jaw injury, difficult extractions, bone loss, or other surgical issues. They offer CBCT-based implant planning and full-arch implant treatment.

The plan I'd pursue

1. Get evaluated promptly.
After trauma, the first priority is determining whether there are retained root fragments, jaw fractures, infection, damaged neighboring teeth, or inadequate bone. Don't assume every missing tooth should immediately receive an implant.

2. Ask for a 3-D/CBCT evaluation and comprehensive treatment plan.
The dentist should evaluate your remaining teeth, periodontal condition, bone volume, bite, jaw joints and esthetics—not just the empty spaces.

3. Have them compare several reconstruction strategies.
Depending on how many teeth were lost and which teeth remain, possibilities include:

• individual implants + crowns
• implant-supported bridges
• strategically placed implants supporting several teeth
• implant-supported removable teeth
• full-arch fixed implants (All-on-4/All-on-X type treatment)
• bone grafting followed by delayed implants

A full-arch solution isn't automatically better just because multiple teeth are missing.

4. Get a written phased plan.
I'd want to see: temporary teeth, extractions if necessary, bone/soft-tissue grafting, implant placement, healing period, provisional teeth, final crowns/bridge/arch, and maintenance—plus the cost of each phase.

5. Get a second opinion before irreversible treatment.
For a major trauma reconstruction, I'd personally get two prosthodontic opinions and compare the actual treatment plans, not just prices.

One particularly relevant Austin option is fredrickshawdds.com. Their office is at 1500 W 38th St, Suite 34, Austin, and their listed phone number is (512) 451-7491. Fredrick Shaw DDS

Important: if the accident was recent and you have uncontrolled bleeding, facial/jaw deformity, severe swelling, difficulty breathing/swallowing, loss of consciousness, or suspected jaw fracture, don't wait for an implant consultation—seek emergency medical/oral-surgical evaluation first.

If you tell me roughly how many teeth you lost, upper/lower jaw, whether the accident was recent, and whether you still have your remaining teeth, I can map out what the likely reconstruction sequence would look like and which of these Austin specialists I'd prioritize.

Because you lost multiple teeth in an accident, I would not start by booking a generic “implant dentist” and immediately committing to implants. For a complex trauma case, the best first opinion is usually a prosthodontist who does full-mouth/implant reconstruction, coordinated with an oral & maxillofacial surgeon if bone or surgical reconstruction is needed.

My Austin shortlist

1. Best fit for a complex reconstruction: Advanced Prosthodontics — West Lake Hills
This is the type of specialist I'd prioritize for your first comprehensive reconstruction consultation. The practice focuses on prosthodontics, full-mouth rehabilitation, implant restorations, and complex cases involving multiple missing teeth.

2. Strong alternative: Smile Boutique Implant Center — North Austin
Specifically focused on prosthodontic/implant care, including full-arch reconstruction and complicated restorative cases.

3. For the surgical side: LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — Central Austin
They handle implants, extractions and bone grafting and advertise 3-D implant planning. This would be a sensible oral-surgery partner if your trauma left insufficient bone or other jaw/soft-tissue damage. www.lonestaroms.comwww.unionimplants.com

4. Another implant-focused option: Union Dental Implant Center — East Austin
They specifically focus on full-arch reconstruction and coordinate surgical/restorative implant treatment in one practice. Their published full-mouth pricing is around $28,000, though your trauma could make your treatment substantially different. www.unionimplants.com

The plan I'd ask for

At your first appointment, ask them to create a written, comprehensive reconstruction plan, rather than simply quoting implants:

1. Trauma evaluation — remaining teeth, roots, gums, jaw and bite.
2. 3-D CBCT imaging — to determine bone volume and identify fractures/defects.
3. Determine which teeth can actually be saved. Don't assume every injured tooth needs extraction.
4. Bone/gum reconstruction if necessary — grafting may need to happen before implants.
5. Temporary teeth so you're not left without functional/aesthetic teeth during healing.
6. Implant strategy — individual implants vs. implant-supported bridges vs. full-arch reconstruction.
7. Final prosthetic design — the prosthodontist should design the final teeth before implant positions are finalized.
8. Timeline and costs in writing, including surgery, grafting, temporaries, implants, abutments, final teeth, sedation and follow-ups.

A staged approach is common: assessment/3-D planning → surgical placement → several months of integration/healing → final crowns/bridge/full-arch restoration. southaustindental.com

One important thing

If the accident was recent, don't wait for a routine implant consultation. Dental trauma can require prompt stabilization, and some injured/knocked-out teeth may be treatable rather than immediately replaced with implants. austincitydental.com If you have uncontrolled bleeding, major facial swelling, trouble breathing/swallowing, loss of consciousness, or suspected jaw/facial fracture, go to an emergency department rather than waiting for a dentist.

If I were choosing where to start, I'd book the prosthodontic evaluation with Advanced Prosthodontics first, and ask them whether you also need an oral-surgery/trauma evaluation. For a case involving several teeth, I would also get a second opinion before consenting to irreversible extractions or a full-arch implant package.

If you tell me roughly how many teeth you lost, upper/lower jaw, when the accident happened, and whether you still have your remaining teeth, I can lay out what the likely reconstruction pathways would be and what questions to take to the consultation.

I’m sorry—you’ve been through a major injury. For multiple teeth lost in an accident, I would not jump straight to an “All-on-4” sales consultation. You want someone who can coordinate trauma assessment → bone/jaw reconstruction → implant surgery → prosthetic reconstruction.

My Austin shortlist

1. Best first consultation for your situation: Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants
They specifically list dental trauma, facial injuries, full-mouth reconstruction, bone grafting, implants and All-on-4. Their site also describes experience with facial injuries and jaw reconstruction. www.widneroms.com
Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

2. Best prosthodontic/full-reconstruction opinion: Juan Vesga, DDS / Advanced Prosthodontics
For a complex case, I particularly like having a prosthodontist design the overall reconstruction rather than letting the implant surgery dictate the final teeth. Their practice focuses on missing/damaged teeth, implant restorations, full-arch reconstruction and complex rehabilitation.

3. Strong integrated full-arch option: Union Dental Implant Center
They handle implant surgery and prosthetics in one center and specifically treat oral trauma and extensive tooth loss. Their published approach uses CBCT/digital planning and can involve 4–6 implants per arch when full-arch treatment is appropriate. www.unionimplants.com

4. Another specialist option: Prosthodontics of Texas
Worth getting a second opinion from a prosthodontist before committing to irreversible full-arch treatment. They specifically focus on complex restorative dentistry and All-on-4/full-arch rehabilitation.

The plan I'd pursue

Because this followed trauma, I'd want the first appointment to answer these questions:

1. Are the jawbones fractured or displaced?
2. Which teeth are truly unrecoverable versus potentially restorable?
3. How much bone and gum tissue remains?
4. Do you need bone grafting or soft-tissue reconstruction before implants?
5. Should individual teeth receive implants, or is one/both arches better reconstructed with an implant-supported bridge/full arch?
6. What will your temporary teeth look like while everything heals?
7. What is the complete sequence and expected timeline?
8. What material will the final teeth use—zirconia, acrylic/hybrid, etc.?
9. Who handles complications and maintenance years later?
10. What is the total cost, including extractions, grafting, anesthesia, temporary teeth, implants, abutments and final prosthesis?

I would not let a clinic tell you that you need four implants/full-mouth replacement simply because multiple teeth were lost. Trauma cases can have enough healthy remaining teeth and bone that a more tooth-preserving reconstruction is preferable.

Also, if the accident was recent and you have jaw deformity, uncontrolled bleeding, rapidly increasing swelling, difficulty breathing/swallowing, numbness, or signs of infection, get urgent medical/oral-maxillofacial evaluation rather than waiting for an elective implant consultation.

If you tell me how many teeth you lost, upper vs. lower, when the accident happened, whether your jaw was fractured, and whether you still have some natural teeth, I can map out a likely phase-by-phase reconstruction plan and which 2–3 Austin specialists I'd prioritize for second opinions.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, I’d approach this as a complex dental-trauma reconstruction, not simply “find an implant dentist.” With multiple teeth lost in an accident, the best outcome usually comes from coordinating an oral/maxillofacial surgeon for the surgical/trauma side and a prosthodontist for the final reconstruction.

My Austin shortlist

1. Best first call after significant trauma: Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin
They’re in South Austin and specifically handle oral/maxillofacial surgery, implants, full-arch treatment and emergency dental care. For an accident involving several lost teeth, I would ask for a trauma/implant consultation rather than a routine implant appointment.

2. Strong restorative choice: Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group
This is the type of specialist I'd want designing the overall reconstruction: bite, appearance, crowns/bridges, implant restorations and potentially full-mouth reconstruction. Their Austin practice specifically describes treating multiple missing teeth and trauma cases. fredrickshawdds.com

3. If you're still dealing with significant facial/jaw injury: Austin Oral & Maxillofacial: Quaroni Andrea L DDS
The North MoPac office handles facial trauma, implants and bone grafting, which can be particularly relevant if the accident damaged the jawbone as well as the teeth. austinoralsurgery.com

4. Another particularly trauma-oriented option: Travis W Kern, DDS, MD
The practice handles facial trauma, implants and bone grafting, so it's another reasonable surgical opinion for a substantial accident injury.

The plan I'd pursue

1. Get examined promptly by an oral surgeon, especially if the accident was recent. They can check for jaw/facial fractures, retained tooth fragments, infection and bone damage.
2. Get 3-D/CBCT imaging and a complete inventory of which teeth are actually lost versus potentially salvageable.
3. Have a prosthodontist design the reconstruction before implants are placed. This matters because implant position should be dictated by where the eventual teeth need to sit—not simply where bone happens to be available.
4. If bone or gum tissue was lost, you may need bone grafting and/or soft-tissue grafting before—or sometimes in conjunction with—implant placement.
5. Decide whether the best reconstruction is individual implants, an implant-supported bridge, or a fixed full-arch restoration. Don't assume “All-on-4” is automatically best just because several teeth were lost.
6. Use temporary teeth during healing where appropriate, followed by the definitive crowns/bridge/full-arch prosthesis.
7. Get a written, itemized treatment plan showing surgery, grafting, implants, temporaries, final teeth, anesthesia, imaging, maintenance and warranty/repair policies.

One useful Austin option is also ClearChoice Dental Implant Center - Austin, because its Austin team combines oral surgeons and prosthodontists in one implant-focused center. Dr. Daniel Szalay, for example, is board-certified in oral and maxillofacial surgery and has interests in implants and bone grafting. www.clearchoice.com

If this accident happened very recently, don't wait for an implant consultation if you have uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling, difficulty breathing/swallowing, altered vision, severe jaw pain/deformity, or a suspected jaw fracture—those warrant urgent medical evaluation.

If you tell me how many teeth were lost, upper/lower jaw, when the accident happened, and whether you have a jaw fracture or other facial injuries, I can narrow this to the 2–3 Austin specialists I'd call first and lay out the likely reconstruction sequence and questions to ask at the consultation.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, for multiple teeth lost in an accident I would not start with a general dentist whose main focus is routine implants. I’d start with a prosthodontist experienced in full-mouth reconstruction, with an oral surgeon/periodontist involved for the surgical and bone-grafting portions.

My first choice for the reconstruction consultation

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

They specifically handle full-mouth reconstruction, multiple missing teeth, dental trauma, implant-supported restorations and full-arch cases, and describe using digital/3-D planning. Their site identifies Dr. Fredrick Shaw as a board-certified prosthodontist. fredrickshawdds.com

Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group — request an appointment

Two surgical specialists I'd consider alongside them

• Periodontal Surgical Arts — particularly relevant if the accident caused bone loss, gum damage, or you need bone/soft-tissue grafting before implants.
• Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin — an oral/maxillofacial surgery practice that handles implants, complex surgical cases and CBCT-guided planning.

Another reasonable one-stop option is Smile Boutique Implant Center, which focuses on prosthodontics, full-arch implants and complex reconstruction.

The plan I'd want the dentist to build

Don't let anyone jump straight to "How many implants do you want?" The sequence matters after trauma:

1. Trauma examination + CBCT/3-D imaging — assess remaining teeth, roots, jawbone, facial/jaw fractures, infection and the condition of each extraction site.
2. Determine which injured teeth can still be saved. Traumatized neighboring teeth can have injuries that aren't obvious initially. www.aae.org
3. Stabilize the mouth first — infection, fractures, damaged teeth and gum injuries.
4. Temporary teeth so you aren't simply left without teeth during reconstruction.
5. Preserve/rebuild bone where necessary — extraction-site grafting, ridge augmentation or sinus-related procedures depending on location.
6. Implant planning — decide between individual implants/bridges versus an implant-supported full arch. Multiple missing teeth don't automatically mean you need an implant for every tooth.
7. Implant placement and healing, followed by the permanent crowns/bridges/full-arch prosthesis.
8. Final bite and cosmetic planning — especially important after trauma so the implants aren't simply replacing teeth without correcting the way your jaws come together.
9. Long-term maintenance and periodic monitoring.

For a complex case, I'd ask for the entire treatment sequence and total estimated cost in writing before committing, including surgery, grafting, temporaries, final teeth, sedation, imaging and follow-up.

One important caveat

If the accident was recent—especially today—and any teeth were completely knocked out, don't wait for an implant consultation. A knocked-out permanent tooth can sometimes be saved by prompt treatment; the American Association of Endodontists recommends immediate evaluation and says treatment ideally occurs within about 30 minutes. www.aae.org

If you have uncontrolled bleeding, significant facial swelling, difficulty breathing/swallowing, loss of consciousness, or suspected jaw/facial fracture, go to an emergency department rather than waiting for a routine dental appointment. www.aapd.org

If the accident was already treated and you're now planning the reconstruction, I'd make Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group your first consultation and ask them to coordinate the surgical side with an oral surgeon/periodontist. That gives you a treatment plan from the restoration end rather than having an implant surgeon decide the reconstruction by themselves.

I can help you identify the right Austin implant-reconstruction dentist, but I need your location first because “Crestview” could refer to different places and the choice of surgeon depends on where you actually need care.

genui{"ask_user_location_v2":{"suggested_cities":["Austin, Texas","Round Rock, Texas","Cedar Park, Texas"]}}

Because you lost multiple teeth in an accident, the eventual plan may involve an oral/maxillofacial surgeon or periodontist working with a restorative dentist—not simply a general dentist. Once you give me your location, I can compare Austin-area specialists and help you build the sequence from urgent trauma evaluation → imaging/bone assessment → extraction/repair if needed → bone grafting → implants → final teeth.

If the accident was recent and you have uncontrolled bleeding, severe facial swelling, trouble breathing/swallowing, or a suspected jaw fracture, seek emergency care rather than waiting for an implant consultation.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with that after an accident. With multiple lost teeth from trauma, you’ll want a dentist who handles complex implant reconstruction, not just a single implant. The best first appointment is usually with either:

1. A prosthodontist (the specialist who designs the final teeth, bite, aesthetics, and full reconstruction plan), often coordinating with an oral surgeon, or
2. A full-arch implant team that has both surgical and restorative capability in-house. ctxoralsurgery.com

For Austin, I would consider scheduling consultations with these types of practices:

• Prosthodontics of Texas — a prosthodontic practice focused on complex restorative care, implants, and staged reconstruction planning.
• Smile Boutique Implant Center — prosthodontist-led implant and full-mouth reconstruction care; a reasonable fit if appearance and bite design are major priorities.
• Union Dental Implant Center — focuses on advanced implant reconstruction and full-arch approaches.
• Oral Surgery Specialists of Austin — useful if your accident involved jaw trauma, difficult extractions, bone loss, or you need the surgical side evaluated.
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — oral surgery practice with implant and reconstructive experience.

A good reconstruction plan will usually include:

1. Trauma evaluation

• Review of the accident history
• Exam of remaining teeth, gums, jaw joints, and bite
• 3D CBCT scan to check bone volume and hidden damage

2. Foundation work
Depending on what happened:

• Extraction of teeth that cannot be saved
• Bone grafting or ridge reconstruction if the jaw lost volume
• Gum/tissue management if needed

3. Temporary teeth
Ask what you will have while healing:

• Temporary bridge
• Implant-supported temporary teeth
• Immediate temporary prosthesis (when appropriate)

4. Final implant reconstruction
Options may include:

• Individual implants + crowns/bridges (best when enough teeth and bone remain)
• Implant-supported bridge
• Full-arch fixed teeth (“All-on-X” style) if many teeth are missing or the damage is extensive www.unionimplants.com

When you call, I’d say something like:

“I lost multiple teeth in an accident near Crestview and need a trauma-related implant reconstruction consultation. I’m looking for a full treatment plan, including bone evaluation, temporary teeth, final implants, and coordination between surgical and restorative care.”

Bring:

• Accident records/X-rays if you have them
• Any ER or oral surgeon notes
• Dental insurance information
• Photos from before the accident if available

If you mean Crestview in Austin, I can also narrow this to the closest offices and help you choose between a prosthodontist-first vs oral-surgeon-first visit.

Because this followed an accident with multiple lost teeth, I would not jump straight to an “all-on-4” package. You need a trauma/implant reconstruction workup first, ideally with a prosthodontist and oral surgeon coordinating the plan.

My first choice in Austin

Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group would be my first consultation for the reconstruction itself. It is a prosthodontic practice focused on complex restorative cases, including multiple missing teeth, trauma, implants, full-arch treatment, and full-mouth reconstruction. Its site specifically describes 3-D planning and a customized, staged approach. fredrickshawdds.com

For the surgical/trauma side, I'd pair that evaluation with Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin or, particularly if your accident involved significant jaw injury, Smile Boutique Implant Center is not the surgical specialist I'd prioritize; instead, Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants has explicit dental-trauma, bone-grafting, implant, and full-mouth-reconstruction services. www.widneroms.com

The plan I'd want them to develop

1. Immediate trauma assessment
   • CBCT/3-D imaging of both jaws.
   • Check for fractured jaw/alveolar bone, retained tooth fragments, infection, damaged neighboring teeth, and nerve involvement.
   • Determine which remaining teeth are salvageable.

2. Stabilize the mouth before implants
   • Treat infection or open wounds.
   • Address periodontal disease.
   • Preserve/graft extraction sites where appropriate.
   • Don't let anyone place implants simply because you lost teeth recently—the bone and soft-tissue situation after trauma matters.

3. Decide tooth-by-tooth what should happen
   • Save a viable natural tooth whenever predictably possible.
   • Individual implants/bridges may be preferable if only several teeth are missing.
   • Full-arch implants (All-on-X) make more sense when an entire arch is non-restorable or has extensive failure. They are not automatically the best solution just because multiple teeth were lost.

4. Temporary teeth
   • Ask for a plan for temporary teeth during healing so you aren't left without functional/esthetic teeth for months.

5. Definitive reconstruction
   • Implant placement ± bone grafting.
   • Healing period.
   • Temporary implant-supported restoration.
   • Final crowns/bridge or full-arch prosthesis.
   • Bite/TMJ evaluation and long-term maintenance plan.

6. Get a second opinion before committing

Another strong Austin option is Juan Vesga, DDS / Advanced Prosthodontics, whose specialty scope includes full-mouth rehabilitation and implant-supported restorations.

I would not choose based primarily on advertised “same-day implants” or a low package price. For traumatic tooth loss, the quality of diagnosis, bone reconstruction, bite planning, and final prosthetics can matter more than getting implants placed quickly.

When you call, say: “I lost multiple teeth in an accident and need a comprehensive implant/full-mouth reconstruction evaluation. I want CBCT imaging and a staged treatment plan, including preservation of any salvageable teeth, bone grafting if necessary, temporary teeth, and the definitive restoration.”

If the accident was recent and you have uncontrolled bleeding, facial/jaw deformity, trouble breathing/swallowing, rapidly increasing swelling, fever, or severe worsening pain, seek urgent emergency/oral-surgical care rather than waiting for a routine implant consultation.

If you lost multiple teeth in an accident, I would not start with a routine general dentist. For a reconstruction this complex, the ideal setup is an oral & maxillofacial surgeon for the trauma/bone/implant surgery plus a prosthodontist to design and restore the final teeth. The American College of Prosthodontists specifically recommends specialist planning for complex implant cases. www.prosthodontics.orgwww.prosthodontics.org

My first choice near Crestview

1. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — Austin

• 1500 W 38th St #51, very convenient to Crestview.
• Focuses on implants, bone grafting, dental trauma and full-mouth reconstruction.
• Their practice specifically lists dental trauma, full-mouth reconstruction and bone grafting, which makes the accident history particularly relevant. www.widneroms.com
• Phone: 512-452-3223.

2. Advanced Prosthodontics — West Lake Hills

• This is the type of specialist I'd want coordinating the final reconstruction: prosthodontics is specifically focused on missing teeth, implants, bite reconstruction and complex restorative planning. www.prosthodontics.org
• They have a specialty prosthodontic practice and in-house digital laboratory workflow.

Another strong surgical option: Austin Oral Surgery's Central Austin office is at 711 W 38th St, and its surgeons perform implants and complex oral/maxillofacial surgery. austinoralsurgery.com Dr. Jassel Fernandez in that group specifically lists advanced implant surgery, full-arch rehabilitation, bone/soft-tissue reconstruction and facial trauma among his areas of focus. austinoralsurgery.com

The plan I'd want you to get

Don't let someone immediately sell you on “All-on-4” or individual implants before the accident damage is mapped out. A good reconstruction should generally proceed like:

1. Trauma assessment + CBCT/3-D imaging — evaluate jaw fractures, remaining teeth, roots, bone and soft tissue.
2. Save whatever teeth can predictably be saved.
3. Stabilize the mouth — deal with infection, fractured teeth, periodontal problems and traumatic bone defects.
4. Bone/soft-tissue grafting if necessary.
5. Provisional teeth so you're not unnecessarily left without teeth while healing.
6. Implant positioning planned around the final teeth, not the other way around.
7. Implant placement by the oral surgeon/appropriately trained implant surgeon.
8. Final crowns, bridges or full-arch prosthesis designed and delivered by the prosthodontist.
9. Long-term maintenance plan for the implants and prosthesis.

That sequencing matters: the ACP cautions that implant placement without careful diagnosis and treatment planning can produce poor function, esthetics and durability. www.prosthodontics.org

What I'd do in your shoes

I'd call Widner first and tell them explicitly: “I had traumatic loss of multiple teeth and need comprehensive implant reconstruction, not just individual implants.” Ask for an evaluation of the trauma and bone and whether they coordinate with a prosthodontist.

Then get a prosthodontic consultation with Advanced Prosthodontics before committing to the final treatment. That gives you a surgical opinion and an independent opinion about what the finished reconstruction should look like.

If the accident was recent, especially if you have facial/jaw swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, severe pain, numbness, a suspected jaw fracture, difficulty breathing/swallowing, or teeth that were recently knocked out, don't wait for an elective implant consultation—seek urgent dental/medical trauma evaluation first. Oral & maxillofacial surgeons specifically treat facial and jaw trauma. myoms.org

If you tell me which teeth you lost (upper/lower and roughly how many), when the accident happened, and whether you still have your other teeth, I can lay out what the likely reconstruction pathways would be and what I'd ask each Austin specialist before choosing one.

After losing multiple teeth in an accident, you’ll want a dentist who handles complex implant reconstruction, not just a routine implant placement. The best plan usually involves a team approach:

1. Oral & maxillofacial surgeon — evaluates trauma damage, jawbone, grafting needs, implant placement, and surgical reconstruction.
2. Prosthodontist or restorative dentist — designs the final teeth (bridges, crowns, implant-supported teeth, or full-arch restoration).
3. Imaging and trauma review — CBCT (3D scan), evaluation of bone loss, fractures, nerves, and remaining teeth.

For an Austin consultation, I’d prioritize these types of practices:

Strong first appointments to consider

• Oral Surgery Specialists of Austin — a good fit for trauma-related cases because they focus on oral/maxillofacial surgery, implants, bone procedures, and full-arch options. ossaustin.com
• Hill Country Oral Surgery — experienced with implant surgery and full-arch rehabilitation approaches, including cases where missing teeth require broader reconstruction planning. www.hillcountryoralsurgery.com
• LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — offers implant surgery, bone grafting, and 3D implant treatment planning.
• Prosthodontics of Texas — worth adding if you need the “final teeth” side of reconstruction; prosthodontists specialize in complex restorations and implant-supported teeth.

If your accident involved jaw fracture, facial trauma, teeth knocked out (avulsed teeth), or significant bone loss, I would start with an oral surgeon consultation first rather than a general implant office. austinoralsurgery.com

What to ask at the first visit

Bring accident records and ask:

• “How much bone was lost, and do I need grafting?”
• “Are any remaining teeth worth saving?”
• “Am I looking at individual implants, an implant bridge, or full-arch reconstruction?”
• “Will I need temporary teeth while healing?”
• “Who will design and place the final teeth?”
• “Can you provide a written timeline and total estimated cost?”

Typical reconstruction timeline

This varies by injury, but many trauma cases follow a pattern like:

• Visit 1: exam + CBCT scan + treatment plan
• Early phase: stabilize infection, damaged teeth, fractures, or gum/bone problems
• Surgical phase: extractions (if needed), bone grafting, implant placement
• Healing: often several months for implants to integrate
• Restoration: permanent crowns/bridges/full-arch teeth

If you tell me what you mean by “near Crestview” (Crestview neighborhood in Austin?) and:

• how many teeth you lost,
• upper, lower, or both,
• how long ago the accident happened,
• whether your jaw was fractured,

I can narrow this to the best 2–3 offices and the likely reconstruction pathway.

Because you lost multiple teeth from an accident, I would not start by booking a routine “implant dentist” visit only. A trauma case often needs a coordinated plan involving oral & maxillofacial surgery (implants, bone grafting, jaw/facial injury assessment) plus a restorative dentist/prosthodontist who designs the final teeth. The first visit should include a CBCT (3-D scan), evaluation of bone loss, gum condition, bite, and whether any damaged teeth or jaw structures need treatment first. ossaustin.com

Near Crestview/North Austin, I’d consider these Austin-area options for a consultation:

1. Complex trauma + implant surgery focus

Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — good fit if you need a surgeon-led evaluation after an injury, extractions, grafting, or implant placement. They provide oral surgery and implant services, including full-arch approaches.

2. Implant reconstruction / full-arch planning

Smile Boutique Implant Center | Dr. Afsaneh Rad, D.M.D., M.Sc., M.M.Sc. — a prosthodontic-focused practice that handles complex restorative cases such as implants, full-arch restorations, and full-mouth reconstruction planning.

3. Surgeon + advanced implant technology

Oral Surgery Specialists of Austin — offers oral surgery, implants, 3-D imaging, and guided implant planning. ossaustin.com

4. Full-arch implant option if many teeth are missing

Union Dental Implant Center — focuses on full-mouth/full-arch implant reconstruction options.

The plan I would follow after an accident

Phase 1 — Urgent evaluation (now)

• Bring:
  • ER/urgent care records
  • dental X-rays if you have them
  • accident report or insurance information
  • photos from immediately after the injury
• Ask for:
  • CBCT scan
  • evaluation of jaw fractures or hidden damage
  • assessment of bone volume for implants
  • temporary tooth replacement options

Phase 2 — Treatment design
Your team should answer:

• How many implants are actually needed?
• Are individual implants better, or an implant bridge/full-arch solution?
• Do you need bone grafting or sinus augmentation?
• Can implants be placed immediately, or should the area heal first?
• What temporary teeth will you wear during healing?

Phase 3 — Reconstruction
Typical possibilities:

• Single implants + crowns (for a few missing teeth)
• Implant-supported bridge (several adjacent teeth)
• Full-arch fixed implant teeth (if a large portion of an arch is missing)
• Bone/gum reconstruction first, then implants

When you call, say:

“I lost multiple teeth in a trauma accident near Crestview and I need a full implant reconstruction consultation. I’d like a CBCT evaluation and a coordinated plan for surgery and final teeth.”

If you tell me how many teeth you lost (upper/lower, front/back), when the accident happened, and whether your jaw was fractured, I can help narrow which type of specialist setup is most appropriate.

I’m sorry—you’ll want a coordinated reconstruction team rather than simply booking a general dentist for implants, especially after an accident.

My first choice in Austin

For the restorative/reconstruction lead:
Prosthodontics of Texas in South Austin. It’s a prosthodontic practice focused on complex restorative dentistry, including implant restorations and full-arch reconstruction, with a staged process that coordinates surgical implant placement with the restoring dentist. fredrickshawdds.com

Another strong option, particularly because you mentioned multiple teeth lost from trauma, is Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group, which specifically treats full-mouth reconstruction involving multiple missing teeth and dental trauma. fredrickshawdds.com

For the surgical side:
Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin is worth considering for implant surgery and more complex oral/maxillofacial treatment. Its Austin practice uses CBCT-based planning and offers full-arch implant approaches.

Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants is another Austin oral-surgery option focused on implants and All-on-4-type treatment.

The plan I'd ask for

1. Trauma evaluation first. Don't assume every injured tooth should be extracted. The American Association of Endodontists recommends prompt examination after dental trauma because neighboring teeth can have injuries that aren't obvious. www.aae.org
2. 3-D CBCT + comprehensive examination of the remaining teeth, roots, jawbone, gums and bite. Current AAE trauma guidance specifically recognizes 3-D CBCT when indicated. newsroom.aae.org
3. Determine which teeth can be saved. An endodontist may be able to preserve traumatized teeth that initially look hopeless; extraction should generally be a last resort when a tooth is salvageable. www.aae.org
4. Stabilize the mouth and bone. Depending on the injury, that can include temporary teeth, treatment of injured teeth, extraction of non-restorable teeth, socket preservation, or bone grafting. Trauma itself can result in bone defects that affect later implant placement. midtownomsatx.com
5. Plan the final reconstruction before placing implants. For several missing teeth, possibilities include individual implants/crowns, implant bridges, or an implant-supported full arch. The correct choice depends heavily on how many teeth remain, bone volume and your bite.
6. Place implants only after the surgical/restorative team agrees on the final design.
7. Temporary → healing → definitive prosthesis, followed by long-term maintenance.

One important caveat

If the accident just happened and any permanent teeth were completely knocked out rather than simply missing from an old injury, don't wait for an implant consultation. A knocked-out permanent tooth can sometimes be replanted, and the AAE emphasizes that treatment should happen as quickly as possible—ideally within about 30 minutes. www.aae.org

If you tell me (1) how long ago the accident was, (2) how many teeth you lost and whether they're upper/lower/front/back, and (3) whether you're currently missing teeth, wearing a temporary denture, or have remaining broken teeth, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 Austin specialists and map out exactly who I'd see first and in what order.
