If by “UT campus” you mean the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) campus in Memphis, I’d narrow it down to a few strong options rather than just picking the closest general dentist.

My first choice: UTHSC College of Dentistry

For implants, I’d seriously consider starting with the Advanced Prosthodontics/Implant clinic at UTHSC. Their specialty clinic specifically handles implant placement, bone grafting, implant-supported crowns/bridges, full-arch fixed bridges, and implant-supported dentures. UTHSC UTHSC

• Advanced Prosthodontics & Implant Clinic
• 875 Union Avenue, Memphis
• 901-448-7180
• They also have an Oral Surgery department at 901-448-6233. UTHSC

The advantage is that you're getting a specialty-focused academic dental program, rather than a high-volume implant franchise.

If you want a private practice

A very convenient option in the medical/central Memphis area is:

• Fordjour, Isaac DDS — 910 Madison Ave., in the Medical District. He's an oral surgeon and the practice handles implant-related surgical care. Phone: 901-526-3988.

If you're willing to go a little farther east toward Poplar/Ridge Lake, I'd also look at:

• Bluff City Oral Surgery — 780 Ridge Lake Blvd. They specifically offer dental implants and bone grafting, and currently have very strong patient ratings.
• Sexton and Weiskopf Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, PLLC — 1661 Aaron Brenner Dr. They provide single/multiple implants, implant-supported dentures and full-arch solutions.
• Dental Implant Aesthetic Center — 795 Ridge Lake Blvd. This is particularly interesting if you're looking for implant + cosmetic/restorative work, because it's prosthodontist-focused and handles complex implant reconstruction.

Who I'd contact first

If it's one or a few missing teeth: I'd start with UTHSC Advanced Prosthodontics/Implant Clinic or an implant-focused oral surgeon such as Fordjour.

If you're missing many teeth or considering All-on-4/full-mouth implants: I'd lean toward Dental Implant Aesthetic Center or UTHSC's prosthodontics program because the restoration and bite/design are just as important as surgically putting the implants in.

One important point: the person who places the implant isn't necessarily the person who makes the final teeth. For a good implant result, you want the surgical and restorative sides coordinated.

If you tell me (1) how many teeth you're replacing, (2) whether they're already missing or need to be extracted, and (3) roughly where around the UT campus you are, I can narrow this to the 2–3 dentists I'd personally call first, including their distance, reviews, specialties, and what questions to ask about pricing.

If by UT campus you mean The University of Texas at Austin, I’d start with these nearby options:

1. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St. This is probably my first call if you want an implant-focused surgical specialist close to campus. They perform implant placement and more complex procedures, including full-arch/All-on-4 treatment. Their office is right in the central/UT area.

2. Council Oak Perio — 711 W. 38th St. A periodontics and implant specialty practice, which can be particularly appropriate if you need bone grafting, have gum issues, or want a periodontist handling the implant surgery.

3. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W. 38th St. Another implant-focused oral surgery practice very close to UT, offering implant placement and bone-grafting procedures.

4. 38th Street Dental — 1500 W. 38th St. A general/restorative practice that also offers implants and full-mouth reconstruction. This may be a good choice if you'd prefer having the broader dental care and implant restoration coordinated in one office.

My pick

For a single missing tooth or several individual implants, I'd lean toward Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates or Council Oak Perio for the initial surgical consultation. For a full-mouth/All-on-4 situation, I'd want an implant specialist who routinely handles complex cases rather than choosing based primarily on proximity.

One important thing: implant treatment often involves two providers—the surgeon/periodontist who places the implant and the restorative dentist who makes the crown. Before committing, ask who will handle each part and request an itemized treatment plan, including CBCT imaging, extraction, bone grafting, implant, abutment, and final crown.

If you tell me how many teeth you're replacing (one, several, or full mouth) and whether you're looking for lowest cost, best credentials, or closest to UT, I can narrow these down to the best 2–3 clinics for your situation.

Assuming you mean the UT Austin campus, I’d start with Treaty Oak Dental / Dr. Bruce Jay.

Treaty Oak Dental is particularly convenient for UT/West Campus—it’s on San Gabriel, and the practice specifically offers dental implants and All-on-4 implants. Their listed phone number is (512) 478-4411. treatyoakdental.com

Treaty Oak Dental — implant information

My recommendation

• If you want convenience near UT: I'd call Treaty Oak first and ask for an implant consultation with Dr. Bruce Jay.
• If you want a specialist specifically focused on implant surgery: I'd consider a periodontist instead. A nearby option is Austin Perio Health, at 4310 Medical Parkway, where Dr. Joshua Chapa specializes in periodontics and implantology. www.austinperiohealth.com
• Before committing, I'd get at least 2 implant consultations and compare the proposed implant system, need for bone grafting, who does the surgery vs. crown, total cost, and warranty/follow-up.

If you tell me whether you're looking for one tooth, several teeth, or full-mouth implants, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 implant dentists closest to UT Austin and compare their reviews, credentials, distance, and likely pricing.

Assuming you mean the UT campus area in Knoxville, I’d start with University Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. It’s right on the UT Medical Center campus at 1928 Alcoa Highway, Building B, Suite 305, and specifically offers dental implants, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and other implant-related surgery. www.utmedical.org

• Dr. Brian Ford — not in Knoxville; this is a Philadelphia provider, so disregard if Knoxville is your UT campus.
• University Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons — probably the best first call if you need the surgical implant placement, particularly if you may need bone grafting. They list Dr. Jack E. Gotcher Jr. as an oral & maxillofacial surgeon with a clinical focus including implant surgery. www.utmedical.org

865-305-6625

• University General Dentists — also on the UT Medical Center campus at 1930 Alcoa Highway. I'd consider this if you want someone to handle the restorative side of implants (crown, treatment planning, etc.). Dr. Nia T. Zacharia specifically lists dental implant reconstruction and bone grafting among her clinical focuses. www.utmedical.org

865-305-9440

My pick: call University Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons first and ask for an implant consultation. They can determine whether you need grafting and coordinate with a restorative dentist for the final crown.

If by “UT campus” you meant UT Austin, UT San Antonio, or another UT campus, tell me which one and I’ll find the closest implant specialists there.

Assuming you mean the UT Austin campus, I’d start with Union Dental Implant Center.

My top choices near UT Austin

1. Union Dental Implant Center — best if you want an implant-focused practice

• 1211 E. 11th St., Suite 201, Austin
• Specializes specifically in dental implants and full-arch reconstruction.
• Dr. Adam Carter says he has 10+ years of implant experience and handles both the surgical and restorative portions of treatment himself. www.unionimplants.com
• Their office is in East Austin and is a relatively convenient option from campus.
• New patients: 512-866-5609. www.unionimplants.com

Union Dental Implant Center

2. Treaty Oak Dental: Bruce Jay, DDS — best if proximity to UT is the priority

• 2905 San Gabriel St., Suite 202, right in the UT/West Campus area.
• They specifically advertise implant dentistry, including single implants, multiple implants, implant-supported bridges, and All-on-4. treatyoakdental.com
• Phone: 512-478-4411.

Treaty Oak Dental

3. Najy Zarroug DDS MD — worth considering for the surgical side

• 711 W. 38th St., Suite A-1
• He's a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and handles implants as well as bone grafting and other pre-implant procedures.
• This could be particularly appropriate if you've been told you may need an extraction, bone graft, sinus lift, or have a more complicated case.

What I'd do

If you're looking for one dentist/practice to call first, I'd choose Union Dental Implant Center because implants are their primary focus rather than just one service among many. If being as close to UT campus as possible matters more, I'd call Treaty Oak Dental first.

Before committing to treatment, I'd get 2 implant consultations and compare the complete price—including the implant, abutment, crown, CBCT imaging, extraction/bone grafting if needed, and follow-up care. Implant quotes can look dramatically different when some of those components aren't included.

If you tell me whether you need one tooth, several teeth, or a full-mouth implant, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options near UT and compare their prices, reviews, credentials, and distance from campus.

If by UT campus you mean UT Austin, I’d start with Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates. It’s at 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, right in the UT/central Austin area, and the practice specifically handles dental implant placement and related pre-implant procedures. It’s also an oral & maxillofacial surgery practice, which is a good fit if you need an extraction, bone graft, or a more complicated implant case.

A few nearby options I’d consider:

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St. Best match if proximity to UT is your priority and you want a surgical implant specialist. Phone: (512) 320-1640.
• Council Oak Perio — 711 W 38th St. Very close to campus and specifically focused on periodontics and dental implants. Dr. Christopher Bingham is a periodontist. Phone: (512) 453-1600.
• Dr. Joshua R. Chapa — 4310 Medical Pkwy. Another implant-focused periodontist near the UT/central Austin area, particularly worth considering if you might need bone grafting or other periodontal work.
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St. Oral surgeon with a strong focus on implants and reconstructive procedures.

My pick: I'd call Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates first, then Council Oak Perio for a second opinion. For an implant, getting two treatment plans and comparing the total cost—including extraction, bone grafting, implant, abutment, and crown—is worthwhile.

If you tell me whether you need one implant, several implants, or full-mouth implants, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best dentists near UT and compare their credentials, reviews, distance, and likely pricing.

If you mean the UT Austin campus in Austin, I’d put Treaty Oak Dental: Bruce Jay, DDS at the top of your list for convenience. It’s at 2905 San Gabriel St, right by the UT campus/West Campus area, and specifically offers dental implants. treatyoakdental.com

That said, for implants specifically, I’d distinguish between a convenient general dentist and a specialist:

• Closest/convenient: Treaty Oak Dental: Bruce Jay, DDS — very close to UT and offers implant treatment. Good first consultation if you want something convenient.
• Nearby alternative: KoLa Dentistry at 2907 Duval St in North University also offers implants and is exceptionally close to campus. www.koladentistry.com
• Specialist option: For a more complex implant case, I'd consider a periodontist or prosthodontist rather than choosing solely on proximity. For example, Austin Periodontal Associates' Dr. Andrew Verrett is a board-certified periodontist and dental implant surgeon, although the office is farther north on Mopac. www.austinperiodontal.com

My recommendation: If you're getting one or a few implants, I'd start with Treaty Oak for a consultation and ask whether they handle the surgical placement themselves or refer that portion to a periodontist/oral surgeon. If you're talking about multiple implants, bone grafting, or full-mouth/All-on-4, I'd lean toward seeing an implant specialist from the outset.

Treaty Oak Dental — dental implants

If you tell me how many teeth you need replaced (1, several, or full mouth) and whether you're looking for the best-rated option vs. the closest option, I can narrow it down to 2–3 dentists around UT and compare their credentials, reviews, pricing/financing, and distance.

Assuming you mean the UT Austin campus area in Austin, TX, these are some implant dentists/providers I’d consider contacting because they are close to campus and have implant experience:

Closest / most convenient near UT Austin

Treaty Oak Dental: Bruce Jay, DDS

• Location: 2905 San Gabriel St, Suite 202 (near West Campus/UT)
• Offers dental implants and restorative implant care.
• Good first stop if you want a nearby dentist who can evaluate your case and coordinate referrals if you need a specialist. treatyoakdental.com

Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

• Location: 3200 Red River St, Suite 400 (very close to UT/central Austin)
• Oral surgeons are often involved when implants require extractions, bone grafting, sinus lifts, or more complex surgical planning.

Midtown Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Location: 901 W 38th St, Suite 410 (near UT/Hyde Park area)
• Focuses on oral surgery and implant-related procedures, including implant placement and bone-grafting procedures.

If you want a clinic dedicated mainly to implants

Union Dental Implant Center

• Location: 1211 E 11th St, Suite 201
• Implant-focused practice; especially worth considering if you need multiple implants, full-arch work, or a more specialized implant-only consultation. www.unionimplants.com

My shortlist for a UT-area patient would be:

1. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — if you need surgical implant placement or have bone/gum concerns.
2. Treaty Oak Dental — if you want a nearby general dentist to manage the whole process.
3. Union Dental Implant Center — if you’re looking for a practice centered specifically around implants.

Before choosing, I’d ask each office:

• Do you place the implant and restore the crown in-house, or do you refer out?
• Who performs the surgery (general dentist, periodontist, oral surgeon)?
• Do they use 3D CBCT imaging and guided implant planning?
• What is the full cost estimate (implant + abutment + crown + possible grafting)?

If you tell me whether you need one tooth, several teeth, or full-mouth implants, and whether you prefer closest walking distance to UT vs. highest implant specialization, I can narrow it down.

If you mean the UT Austin campus in Austin, TX, I’d put Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates at the top of your list.

• Location: 3200 Red River St., Suite 400 — very close to the UT campus.
• Why I’d consider them: They’re an oral-surgery practice that specifically performs dental implant placement, including implant-related surgical procedures and pre-implant treatment. Their current business listing shows a 4.9/5 rating. treatyoakdental.com
• Phone: (512) 320-1640.
• They have multiple oral surgeons, including Dr. Robert Jasper and Dr. Bonasso, rather than being primarily a general-dentistry office.

Another very convenient option is Nolan A. Jenkins, DDS at 901 W. 38th St., which is also near UT and is a board-certified oral/maxillofacial surgeon offering implant surgery.

For a single missing tooth, I'd start with Central Texas Oral Surgery and ask whether they handle the implant placement and restoration or coordinate the crown with your general dentist. For multiple missing teeth/full-mouth implants, I'd want to compare a periodontist/implant specialist as well.

If you tell me how many teeth you need replaced (one, several, or full mouth) and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best implant specialists near UT and compare credentials, reviews, distance, and likely cost.

If by the “UT campus area” you mean the University of Rochester / U of R campus around Elmwood Ave and Strong Memorial, I’d put Dental Implants & Periodontal Health of Rochester near the top of your list.

My top choices near U of R

1. Dental Implants & Periodontal Health of Rochester — 1815 S. Clinton Ave
   • Implant-focused periodontal practice.
   • Led by Dr. Thomas Zahavi, a board-certified periodontist with advanced training in prosthodontics/restoration.
   • Particularly attractive if you want a specialist handling the implant surgery rather than a general dentist who occasionally places implants.
   • Call 585-684-8421. dentalimplantsroc.com

2. Fantuzzo Oral, Maxillofacial & Dental Implant Surgery — 1815 S. Clinton Ave
   • Very close to U of R and specifically focused on oral surgery and dental implant surgery.
   • Offers implant placement as well as bone/soft-tissue grafting and sinus lifts, which is useful if your case is more complicated.
   • Good option if you want an oral/maxillofacial surgeon doing the surgical portion.

3. University Dental Faculty Group / Eastman Dental — near the U of R campus
   • John Vorrasi, DDS practices at 2400 S. Clinton Ave, and the University Dental Faculty Group specifically offers implant dentistry through its general dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, and oral-surgery specialists. dentalimplantsroc.comwww.urmc.rochester.edu
   • Eastman also has implant/prosthodontic services at 625 Elmwood Ave, right in the U of R/Strong area. www.urmc.rochester.edu
   • This could be especially appealing if you want academic specialists and coordinated care.

4. Hybridge Dental Implants at Elmwood Dental — 1960 S. Clinton Ave
   • Implant-focused practice just minutes from the U of R campus.
   • Particularly worth considering if you're missing multiple teeth or need full-arch implants. hybridgeimplants.com

Who I'd contact first

For a single implant or a few implants, I'd start with Dental Implants & Periodontal Health of Rochester (Dr. Zahavi) and University Dental Faculty Group/Eastman for consultations. That gives you a specialist private-practice opinion and an academic-center opinion to compare.

For full-mouth/full-arch implants, I'd add Hybridge to that comparison.

One important thing: implant treatment usually involves both surgical placement and the final crown/bridge, so I'd ask each office whether the surgeon and restorative dentist are in the same practice and who will actually perform each stage.

If you tell me how many teeth you're looking to replace (one, several, or all/most of your teeth) and whether you're looking for lowest cost, best specialist, or shortest distance from U of R, I can narrow this down to the 2 best clinics for your situation and compare their credentials, reviews, and likely costs.

If you mean the UT Austin campus area (West Campus / North University / Hyde Park in Austin), these are a few implant-focused dentists and oral surgeons I’d consider contacting. I’d prioritize someone who does a lot of implants (or works closely with an oral surgeon/periodontist), since implants are a surgical + restorative process. treatyoakdental.com

Closest and convenient to UT campus

1. Treaty Oak Dental

• Very close to UT (West Campus/North University area).
• Offers dental implants and general restorative care.
• Good option if you want one office to coordinate consultation, crown/restoration, and ongoing care. treatyoakdental.com

2. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

• Near the UT area and focused on oral surgery.
• Worth considering if you may need bone grafting, extractions before implants, or a more surgical implant case.

3. Najy Zarroug at Austin Oral Surgery Central Austin

• Near campus and specializes in oral surgery, including implant-related procedures and pre-implant treatments.

4. Smile Haus Austin

• Located near UT/Guadalupe area.
• Offers implant dentistry and may be convenient if you want a nearby implant-focused office. smilehausdental.com

If you want a specialist (periodontist/implant surgeon)

Council Oak Perio is another nearby option focused on periodontal and implant surgery.

When you call, I’d ask:

1. “Do you place the implant yourself or refer the surgery out?”
2. “Who restores the implant crown?”
3. “Do you use 3D CBCT imaging and guided implant planning?”
4. “Can you give me a full estimate including implant, abutment, crown, grafting (if needed), and sedation?”

If you tell me which UT campus you mean (UT Austin vs UT Dallas/another campus) and whether you need one tooth, multiple teeth, or full-mouth implants, I can narrow it down further.

Assuming you mean the UT Austin campus, I’d start with a specialist rather than a general dentist for an implant consultation.

My first choices near UT

• Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W 38th St, Ste G5. This is particularly appealing if you want a periodontist who specializes in gums, bone, and implant surgery. It’s very close to the UT area, and the practice specifically focuses on implant treatment. midtownomsatx.com
• Najy Zarroug DDS MD — 711 W 38th St, Suite A-1. A board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who performs implants and related bone-grafting procedures. This would be a strong choice if your case may involve surgery or bone loss.
• Dr. Robert D. Jasper, DDS / Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St. Another nearby oral-surgery option offering implants, All-on-4, bone grafting and sinus lifts.
• Midtown Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery — 901 W 38th St. Also very convenient to campus and offers implant surgery and grafting.

If it were me, I'd contact Council Oak Perio first for an evaluation, particularly if you're missing a tooth and want to understand whether you need bone grafting, a sinus lift, or other preparation. Then I'd consider getting a second opinion from an oral surgeon before committing to treatment.

If you tell me whether you're replacing one tooth, several teeth, or looking at full-mouth implants, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their implant experience, reviews, location, and likely treatment approach.

Assuming you mean the UT Austin campus area (West Campus / Central Austin), a few implant dentists/clinics nearby that would be worth contacting are:

Closest to UT campus

Treaty Oak Dental

• Very close to UT (North University/West Campus area).
• Offers dental implants and restorative options.
• Good first stop if you want a convenient consultation close to campus. treatyoakdental.com

Smile Haus Austin

• Located on Guadalupe, also convenient from UT.
• Has an implant-focused center and handles implant consultations. smilehausdental.com

Leo J. Sonnier at Leo J. Sonnier, DDS

• In the UT/North Austin area.
• Lists implants among offered services. www.leojsonnierdds.com

If your case is complex (bone grafting, multiple implants, full arch)

You may also want a consultation with a specialist such as a periodontist or implant-focused practice:

• Union Dental Implant Center — implant-focused practice near central Austin. dental.page
• Austin Implants & Periodontics — specialist practice focused on implants and periodontal procedures. austinimplants.com

For a single missing tooth, a general dentist with strong implant experience may be fine. For multiple implants, failed implants, significant bone loss, or “All-on-4” type treatment, I’d lean toward a periodontist/implant specialist.

If you tell me:

1. whether it’s one tooth vs several teeth/full arch,
2. your approximate budget/insurance situation, and
3. whether you mean UT Austin in Austin (not UT Dallas),

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

If you mean the UT Austin campus, I’d put these two at the top of your list:

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

This is probably my first choice for an implant consultation near UT. Dr. Christopher Bingham is a board-certified periodontist, and the practice specializes specifically in dental implants, bone grafting, All-on-4, and implant surgery. They also use 3D imaging and robotic-guided implant technology. www.counciloakperio.comwww.counciloakperio.com

2. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400

Very convenient to the UT area and more focused on oral surgery/implant placement, including extractions and bone-grafting procedures. If your case is complicated or you may need a bone graft, this is another strong one to contact.

3. Treaty Oak Dental — 2905 San Gabriel St., Suite 202

This is the closest/convenient general-dentist option to West Campus. They specifically offer dental implants and All-on-4, and their office says they serve UT Austin, West Campus, North University and Hyde Park. Dr. Bruce Jay is the dentist there. treatyoakdental.com
Treaty Oak Dental — implant information

My recommendation

For something as significant as an implant, I'd contact Council Oak Perio first and ask for an implant consultation. A periodontist specializes in the gum and bone supporting the implant, which is particularly valuable if you have bone loss, gum issues, or may need grafting. www.counciloakperio.comwww.counciloakperio.com

I'd also get one second opinion before committing, because implant treatment can vary substantially in approach and cost.

If you tell me how many teeth you're replacing (one, several, or a full arch) and whether you're looking for the most affordable option, highest-rated, or closest to UT, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 clinics and compare their implant expertise, reviews, distance from campus, and likely cost range.
