If you’re looking for a regular “dental home” for checkups and cleanings, I’d prioritize a practice that does general/family dentistry, has strong long-term reviews, and doesn’t feel overly focused on cosmetic work.
My Austin shortlist
- Choice Austin Dental — North Austin
My overall pick if you’re in the north/central part of town. It has a very strong 5.0 rating across 424 reviews, offers routine cleanings, exams, X-rays and preventive care, and is described as having a warm, family-oriented atmosphere.
- North Austin Dentistry — North Austin
Another excellent choice, particularly if you want a practice that can handle the whole family's dental needs over the long term. It has 4.9 across 708 reviews, offers family/general dentistry and preventive care, and has unusually broad hours, including Saturdays.
- Forest Family Dentistry - Eastside — East Austin
I'd look closely at this one if you're east of downtown. It's specifically family-focused, sees both children and adults, and has a 4.9 rating. Reviews emphasize consistent care, friendliness and making nervous patients comfortable.
- ATX Family Dental — South Austin
A particularly good option south of the river. It's an independent general/family practice serving adults, teens and kids, with 4.8 across 218 reviews.
- little house dentistry — South Lamar/Zilker
Worth considering if you're near central/south Austin and prefer a smaller independent practice. Patients particularly praise the team for being thorough, friendly and good with people who are nervous about dentistry.
One useful signal: Austin locals discussing dentists recently have specifically recommended Walton Family Dentistry for being family-owned and non-pushy, and Sunset Hills Dentistry has also gotten strong local recommendations. Reddit Reddit
If you tell me what part of Austin you're in (neighborhood or ZIP code) and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best choices near you and check which ones accept your plan.

My Austin shortlist
- Choice Austin Dental — North Austin
My top pick overall. It has a 5.0 rating across 400+ reviews, focuses on preventive/conservative dentistry, and offers routine cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride, and family care. It sounds particularly well suited if you want a long-term dentist who isn't overly aggressive about treatment.
- ATX Family Dental — South Austin
Strong choice if you're south of downtown. It's an independent general/family practice serving adults, teens, and kids, with a 4.8 rating from 200+ reviews. Patients particularly mention thorough hygienists and dentists who explain things without rushing.
- Forest Family Dentistry - Eastside — East Austin
Worth considering if you're around East Austin. It's highly rated locally (4.9) and handles preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and urgent care for adults and families.
- Mi Casa Family Dentistry | Austin Family Dentistry — North/Central Austin
Another strong family-oriented option, with a 4.9 rating from 300+ reviews. The office has extended weekday hours plus Saturday hours, which can be useful for a family.
- North Austin Dentistry — North Austin
A good option if dental anxiety is a concern. It offers routine family dentistry plus comfort/sedation options, and has a large review base (4.9/700+).
For routine care, practices generally recommend an exam and professional cleaning about every six months, although your dentist may recommend a different interval depending on your gums, tartar buildup, and dental history. Magnolia Family Dentistry Broberg Family Dental
If I were choosing without knowing anything else about you, I'd book Choice Austin Dental. If you're in South Austin, I'd lean toward ATX Family Dental instead.
If you tell me what part of Austin you're in (neighborhood or ZIP) and what dental insurance you have, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices that are convenient and in-network.

- Quinlan Park Dental - 5145 N FM 620 G-150, Austin, TX 78732, United States
If you mean Hyde Park in Austin, my first choice for a nervous adult would be Kelly W. Keith, DDS.
- Why: It’s actually in Hyde Park, at 3800 Speedway, and the practice has a particularly homey setting—a converted 1930s Hyde Park residence rather than a typical clinical office. The available patient feedback specifically mentions a gentle, anxiety-aware approach.
- Another strong nearby option: Dr.Luana Badea DDS, at 4310 Medical Parkway. She offers nitrous oxide and has unusually strong patient feedback from people who were fearful or had avoided the dentist for years; one patient specifically said she was never judged and felt at ease.
- For more serious dental anxiety: Perspective Dental: Ashley Smitherman, DDS on Airport Blvd looks particularly promising because the office offers multiple sedation levels and has feedback specifically describing care for fear of pain and dental anxiety.
- A little farther away: 38th Street Dental is another good candidate; reviews specifically mention patients with extreme dental anxiety feeling calm and heard, and the practice offers nitrous/oral sedation.
My pick: I'd start with Kelly W. Keith if proximity to Hyde Park and a less-clinical atmosphere matter most. If the person is very nervous—especially if they've avoided dentists for years—I’d lean toward Perspective Dental or Badea Dental because of the explicit anxiety/sedation options.
When calling, I'd say: “I'm an adult with significant dental anxiety. I need someone very gentle and nonjudgmental. Could I have a first appointment that's mostly a consultation, and can you tell me what anxiety/sedation options you offer?” That can tell you a lot about the office before you ever sit in the chair.

- Austin Dental Implants - 6500 N Mopac Expy Building II, Suite 2204, Austin, TX 78731, United States
Since you’re near Airport Boulevard in Austin, I’d start with a dentist that’s both close and specifically experienced with implants.
My top picks
- Union Dental Implant Center — 1211 E 11th St
This is my first choice if the implant itself is your main concern. It focuses specifically on implant dentistry and full-arch reconstruction, and it’s conveniently located in East Austin.
A good choice if you have gum disease, bone loss, or may need a bone graft before an implant. A periodontist specializes in the gums and supporting bone.
- 38th Street Dental — 1500 W 38th St
A more general dental practice that also handles implants and complex restorative work. This could be convenient if you want your regular dental care and implant treatment under one roof.
- Nuvia Dental Implant Center — 711 W 38th St
Particularly worth considering if you're missing multiple teeth or an entire arch, since they focus heavily on full-arch implant reconstruction.
There's also a very convenient option right on Airport Blvd: Dr. Brian LaBombard at Airport Dental Care, 3851 Airport Blvd., Suite 105. His practice specifically lists dental implant restoration, and he has more than 20 years of dental experience. Dr. Brian LaBombard, DMD Dr. Brian LaBombard, DMD
If it were me, I'd get a consultation at Union Dental Implant Center first, and if the case involves significant bone/gum issues, I'd also get an opinion from Council Oak Perio. For implants, getting a second opinion before committing to a several-thousand-dollar treatment plan is worthwhile.
If you tell me whether you need one tooth, several teeth, or full-mouth implants, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 Austin dentists for your particular situation, including estimated costs and which ones take your insurance.

Since you’re by Airport Boulevard, I’d put Airport Dental Care with Dr. Brian LaBombard near the top of your list. Airport Dental Care
- Location: 3851 Airport Blvd., Suite 105, Austin, TX 78722
- Phone: (512) 291-6684
- Why: Dr. LaBombard specifically offers dental implant restoration, and his practice says it handles implant treatment as part of its restorative dentistry. He has more than 20 years of dental experience. Dr. Brian LaBombard, DMD Dr. Brian LaBombard, DMD
- airport-dental.com
Another particularly convenient option is Perspective Dental: Ashley Smitherman, DDS at 4631 Airport Blvd. They explicitly advertise dental implants and are also rated highly in the local business results. Perspective Dental
If this is a surgical implant placement rather than simply getting a crown/restoration placed on an existing implant, I’d consider a specialist such as Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates, which focuses on oral surgery and implant placement.
My pick for a first consultation: Airport Dental Care, because it’s right on Airport Blvd. and specifically offers implant restoration. Before committing, ask whether they place the implant themselves or refer the surgical placement to an oral surgeon/periodontist, and request a written estimate covering the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, and any bone grafting.

- Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group - 1500 W 38th St #34, Austin, TX 78731, United States

- Cynthia L Graves DDS - Dentist Austin TX | Dentures Austin TX - 10418 Lake Creek Pkwy, Austin, TX 78750, United States
If you’re in North Loop, I’d put Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group at the top of your list.
They’re particularly well matched to someone who needs denture expertise because the practice is prosthodontics-focused, led by a board-certified prosthodontist, and specifically handles full dentures, partial dentures, and implant-retained dentures. They’re also very close to North Loop, at 1500 W 38th St. Zocdoc
My other strong choices
- Lisa R Burkett, DDS MS — At 6818 Austin Center Blvd. Dr. Burkett and Dr. Klink are experienced prosthodontists and specifically offer full and partial dentures. Their practice has served Austin for more than 20 years. Burkett Dental
- Trey Kaliher, DDS — At 4300 Medical Parkway, quite convenient from North Loop. They offer dentures and implant-retained dentures, and the practice emphasizes a comfortable, relationship-oriented approach.
- 38th Street Dental — Also very convenient to North Loop, at 1500 W 38th St. They provide dentures and implant-supported full-arch options and have been serving the area since 1997.
- Austin Institute of Dental Medicine — A good option if you have a more complicated situation because it has multiple dental specialties under one roof, including prosthodontics, and handles dentures and full-mouth reconstruction.
For your situation, I'd start with Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group or Dr. Burkett. A prosthodontist has additional specialty training specifically in replacing missing teeth and managing complicated denture cases, so I think that's preferable to simply choosing a general dentist who happens to offer dentures.
Before scheduling, I'd ask: “Do you personally make and adjust dentures, and do you see many older patients who need help with loose, uncomfortable, or worn-out dentures?” Also ask whether they accept your dental insurance and what the consultation costs.
If you tell me whether you need new dentures, a repair/reline, or dentures that you already have but don't fit well, I can narrow this down to the best 1–2 choices near North Loop.

If you mean North Loop in Austin, I’d put a prosthodontist at the top of your list. Prosthodontists receive specialized training in dentures, bite reconstruction, and replacing missing teeth.
My top choice
Lisa R Burkett, DDS MS — 6818 Austin Center Blvd., Austin, TX 78731
Dr. Lisa Burkett and Dr. Robert Klink are experienced prosthodontists, and their practice specifically offers full and partial dentures, implant restoration, and full-mouth rehabilitation. They’ve served Austin for more than 20 years. Burkett Dental
For someone who wants careful denture fitting rather than simply the cheapest dentures, this would be my first call.
Another excellent option
Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group — 1500 W 38th St., Suite 34
This is particularly convenient from North Loop. The practice is led by a board-certified prosthodontist and offers custom full dentures, partials, and implant-retained dentures.
If cost is an important consideration
38th Street Dental is also very close to North Loop and offers dentures and denture care, although it isn't a prosthodontic-only practice.
My recommendation: Start with Lisa Burkett & Robert Klink and tell them you're looking for a consultation specifically about dentures. If you have old dentures that don't fit, sore spots, trouble chewing, or are considering implant-supported dentures, mention that when you call.
If you'd like, I can also narrow this down to the best Austin dentist for dentures who accepts Medicare/your dental insurance and is convenient from North Loop.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, I’d start with 38th Street Dental. It’s close to Crestview in Rosedale, explicitly offers sedation dentistry, and its patient feedback specifically includes people with extreme dental anxiety describing feeling heard and comfortable.
Another particularly relevant option is Goehring Dental in South Austin. They have a stronger sedation focus, including options for patients seeking conscious/deeper sedation, and recent Austin community discussion specifically mentions the practice positively for severe dental anxiety and full sedation. Reddit
If you want to stay very close to Crestview, I’d ask 38th Street Dental:
“I have severe dental anxiety and have avoided dental care because of it. Before I schedule, can you tell me exactly what sedation options you offer, including whether oral or IV sedation is available, and whether you treat patients with severe dental phobia?”
One important distinction: nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) may not be enough for severe anxiety. Oral sedation or IV/deeper sedation may be more appropriate, depending on your procedure and medical history. Sedation also doesn't replace local anesthetic for pain control.

If you meant Crestview, Florida rather than the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, tell me—that's a different search.

When you call, I’d specifically ask: “Do you treat patients with severe dental phobia, and what sedation levels do you offer (nitrous, oral sedation, IV sedation, or referral for deeper sedation)?”
A few Austin-area options to look into:
- Perspective Dental: Ashley Smitherman, DDS — Near Crestview (Airport Blvd area). Their practice information indicates sedation options are available and emphasizes comfort for anxious patients.
- 38th Street Dental — Rosedale area, close to Crestview. They advertise sedation dentistry and have a comfort-focused approach for anxious patients.
- Trey Kaliher, DDS — Central Austin. Offers conscious sedation options for nervous patients and serves the Crestview area. Trey Kaliher, DDS
- North Austin Dentistry — Northwest Austin option with sedation services and experience with anxious patients.
- Enamel Dentistry At The Grove — Central Austin option that lists nitrous, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation options.
For severe anxiety, I’d prioritize a dentist who will schedule a consultation first rather than immediately doing treatment. Ask whether they:
- allow a “meet and greet” visit with no drilling or procedures
- can do a full treatment plan while you are sedated
- offer oral sedation vs IV sedation
- have experience with patients who have avoided dentists for years
- use calming measures (headphones, breaks, hand signals, slower appointments)
When you call, you can say:
“I have severe dental anxiety and have avoided care because of fear. I’m looking for a dentist who is comfortable treating very anxious patients and can discuss sedation options before any work is done.”
If you tell me whether you mean Crestview Austin (78757 area) and whether you want just nitrous/oral sedation or IV/deeper sedation, I can narrow this down further.
