Since you’re off Airport Blvd, I’d prioritize an implant-focused dentist or prosthodontist who can coordinate the entire case, rather than simply picking the closest general dentist. For a single implant, the ideal workflow is usually: consultation/3D imaging → extraction/bone graft if needed → surgical implant placement → healing → final crown.

My top picks near you

• Perspective Dental: Ashley Smitherman, DDS — my first call. It’s actually on Airport Blvd, so it should be exceptionally convenient. They specifically advertise implant dentistry, free implant consultations, and 3D imaging as part of determining candidacy. Perspective Dental Perspective Dental

perspectivedentalatx.com

• Union Dental Implant Center — worth considering if you want a practice heavily focused on implants. It’s in East Austin and specializes in implant treatment, including surgical and restorative work. The main caveat is that it has a much smaller review history than some established practices.
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — my choice if the case is surgically complicated. This is an oral-surgery/implant practice, rather than a conventional general-dentistry office, and offers implant placement and bone-related procedures.
• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — another strong surgical option. They specifically perform implant placement and related pre-implant procedures and have a board-certified oral surgeon on staff.
• ClearChoice Dental Implant Center - Austin — particularly worth a second opinion for multiple implants or a full-arch case. Their model puts prosthodontists and oral surgeons together, with 3D CBCT imaging and treatment planning at the consultation. ClearChoice

What I'd do in your shoes

Book Perspective Dental first if you're replacing one or a few teeth and want convenience. Being at 4631 Airport Blvd makes it unusually convenient for you, and they specifically advertise implant consultations and 3D imaging. Perspective Dental

Before committing to placement, I'd ask:

1. Who will actually place the implant? General dentist, periodontist, or oral surgeon?
2. Do you take a CBCT/3D scan at the consultation?
3. Will the same practice make the final crown?
4. If the tooth needs extraction, will you need a bone graft first?
5. What is the complete price, including extraction, grafting, implant, abutment, crown, imaging and follow-ups?
6. What implant system/brand are they using?
7. How long will the entire process take?

One important distinction: implant placement and the crown are separate parts of treatment. A practice can be excellent at the surgery but less specialized in designing the final tooth, which is why I like practices that coordinate surgical and restorative care.

If you tell me whether it's one tooth, multiple teeth, or a full-mouth situation, and roughly where the missing tooth is (upper/lower, front/back), I can narrow this down to the 2–3 Austin practices I'd personally get consultations from, including which one I'd choose for placement.

• East Austin Oral Surgery — 2832 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. I'd consider this if you specifically want an oral surgeon doing the surgical placement, particularly if extraction, bone grafting, or sedation may be involved. Blvd Dentistry
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St. Another specialist option for implant placement and bone grafting, though farther from Airport Blvd.

What I'd do

For a single missing tooth with otherwise healthy teeth/gums, I'd start with Perspective Dental because they're close to you and appear equipped to evaluate the entire implant process rather than simply referring you elsewhere.

One important distinction: “implant consultation” and “implant placement” aren't always performed by the same dentist. The implant is surgically placed into the bone, then an abutment/crown is typically placed after healing. If you want one office/team to coordinate everything, ask specifically:

“Do you perform the surgical implant placement in-house, or do you refer that part to an oral surgeon/periodontist?”

Also ask whether they use CBCT 3-D imaging, whether a bone graft might be necessary, the total price including implant, abutment and crown, and who handles complications if the implant doesn't integrate.

If you tell me whether you're replacing one tooth, several teeth, or a full arch, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 Austin implant specialists for your situation and compare their experience, reviews, location, and likely pricing.

• Treaty Oak Dental: Bruce Jay, DDS — Worth considering if this is a single missing tooth and you'd prefer a general dentist who can manage the restorative side as well. They offer implant treatment and are in the Central Austin/UT area. Treaty Oak Dental
• Lisa R Burkett, DDS MS — A particularly interesting option for the prosthodontic/restorative phase. They're prosthodontists with advanced training and specifically offer implant restoration and complex tooth replacement. Burkett Dental

lburkettdental.com

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.

Absolutely. For a family member who needs implant surgery plus ongoing follow-up, I’d favor an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or periodontist who routinely places implants, rather than choosing solely based on a general-dentistry practice.

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.

If you mean Austin, Texas, I’d put Vincent Cavaretta, DDS at Hill Country Oral Surgery and Dental Implants at the top of your list.

• Why: Dr. Cavaretta is board-certified in both oral and maxillofacial surgery and oral implantology/implant dentistry, and the practice specifically performs implant placement, including complex cases and grafting. Hill Country Oral Surgery
• Senior-friendly consideration: The practice emphasizes explaining treatment thoroughly and offers sedation options, which can be particularly helpful when implant surgery is involved. Hill Country Oral Surgery
• Location: 3423 Bee Caves Rd., Building C, Suite 201, Austin, TX 78746.
• Phone: 512-327-7233.

Another strong choice is Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin. They specifically discuss implant treatment for older adults, use 3-D imaging and guided placement, and offer sedation and individualized treatment planning. Oral Surgery Specialists of Austin

If you want one practice where the implant surgery and restoration are coordinated under one roof, Union Dental Implant Center is also worth considering; it focuses specifically on implant surgery and full-arch reconstruction.

My pick for a retiree: start with Dr. Cavaretta for a consultation, particularly if you're looking for actual implant placement rather than just the crown/restoration afterward. Before booking, I'd ask whether they accept your dental insurance/Medicare Advantage plan, what sedation is appropriate for you, and whether they'll coordinate with your regular dentist.

If you’re a retiree in Hyde Park (central Austin) looking for implant placement, I’d lean toward a provider who does the surgical placement (often an oral surgeon or periodontist) and is comfortable treating older adults, especially if you have bone loss, medications, diabetes, osteoporosis, or take blood thinners.

Here are the Austin-area offices I’d put at the top of your list:

My first choices to call

1. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — a strong option from Hyde Park because it’s centrally located and focuses on oral surgery, including dental implants and related procedures.

• Good fit if you want an oral surgeon handling the implant placement.
• Ask about: implant experience in patients 70+, 80+, bone grafting, sedation options, and coordination with your general dentist.
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — another implant-focused oral surgery practice in central Austin.

• Worth considering if you need more complex implant work or implant-supported dentures.
• Vincent Cavaretta, DDS at Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin — Dr. Cavaretta is listed as board certified in oral and maxillofacial surgery and oral implantology, with implant placement services.

• A good choice if you want a surgeon with implant-specific credentials.
• Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin — particularly worth a look if you’re interested in senior-focused implant care; the practice specifically discusses geriatric implant considerations and uses CBCT-guided planning. OSSAustin

What I would ask when you call

• “How many implants have you placed in patients over age 70?”
• “Will you review my medications and medical history before recommending surgery?”
• “Do you do the implant placement yourself, or will I be referred elsewhere?”
• “Do you offer CBCT 3D imaging and guided implant placement?”
• “If I have bone loss, do you handle grafting or sinus lifts?”

If you’re near Hyde Park and want the shortest trip, I’d start with Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates or Widner Elite. If you expect a more complicated case (multiple missing teeth, dentures, bone loss), I’d also get a consultation with Hill Country Oral Surgery or Oral Surgery Specialists of Austin.

If you tell me your age range (60s/70s/80s+), whether you need one tooth vs. several teeth vs. dentures converted to implants, and whether you’re on Medicare or a dental plan, I can narrow it down further.

If you mean Airport Boulevard in Austin, I’d put Council Oak Perio near the top of your consultation list. They’re a periodontal specialty practice led by a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Bingham, and specifically offer All-on-4/full-arch treatment with CBCT imaging and guided implant surgery. Their office is at 711 W. 38th St., which is reasonably convenient from central/north-central Austin. Council Oak Perio

A few Austin options I’d compare:

• Council Oak Perio — My first choice for a specialist consultation. They emphasize full-arch implant surgery, CBCT planning, guided placement, and sedation. Council Oak Perio
• Union Dental Implant Center — Particularly worth comparing if you want an implant-focused practice. They offer All-on-X, typically using 4–6 implants per arch, and list Dr. Adam Carter as their implant specialist. Union Dental Implant Center Union Dental Implant Center
• 3D Smile Clinic / Dr. Tareq Beck — More of a dedicated full-mouth implant model, with treatment handled under one roof and published pricing for single- and double-arch options. 3D Smile Clinic
• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — Worth a consultation if you want an oral-surgeon-led approach, particularly if extractions, bone loss, or sedation may be involved. They advertise board-certified oral surgeons, in-house CT imaging, and comprehensive All-on-4 treatment. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates
• Lifetime Smiles — A general/cosmetic practice that coordinates the surgical implant phase with specialists and handles the prosthetic restoration in-house. Lifetime Smiles Cosmetic Dentistry

What I'd do

For something as significant as a full-arch reconstruction, I'd get 2–3 consultations before committing. In particular, ask each office:

1. Would you recommend All-on-4, All-on-6, or another All-on-X configuration for me—and why?
2. Will you take a CBCT/3D scan and show me the proposed implant positions?
3. Who actually performs the surgery, and who designs/fabricates the final teeth?
4. Is the quoted price truly all-inclusive—extractions, implants, sedation, temporary teeth, final zirconia/acrylic teeth, adjustments and follow-ups?
5. What happens if an implant fails?
6. How many full-arch cases has the surgeon personally performed?
7. Can I see before/after cases involving patients with a situation similar to mine?

One important point: don't assume that "All-on-4" means you should receive exactly four implants. A good implant specialist should evaluate your bone, bite, aesthetics and long-term maintenance needs and explain whether 4, 5, 6, or another configuration makes more sense.

If you tell me which part of Airport Blvd you're near (e.g., I-35, Mueller, 183, or North Lamar), I can narrow this down to the 3 closest Austin practices and compare their locations, reviews, implant experience, pricing, and consultation options.

If you’re specifically worried about whether the graft is really necessary, how much bone you need, and who should handle both the graft and implant, I’d strongly favor seeing a board-certified periodontist or oral/maxillofacial surgeon who routinely does implant surgery and bone regeneration, rather than starting with a general dentist.

My top Central Austin choices

1. Melanie D Robinson DDS, MS — my first choice for a second opinion

• 3305 Northland Dr., Suite 204, Austin 78731
• She is a periodontist who specifically performs bone grafting and dental implants, including evaluation and surgical placement. Her practice also emphasizes conservative treatment recommendations. Austin Periodontics Austin Periodontics
• This would be my pick if your main concern is “Do I actually need a graft, and what is the most conservative way to get the implant?”
• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — excellent option if the graft/surgery is complex

• 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, Austin 78705
• Very central, near UT.
• They perform bone grafting, sinus lifts, and implants, with 3-D imaging for implant planning. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates
• Phone: 512-320-1640.
• Najy Zarroug DDS MD — another very central surgical option

• 711 W 38th St., Suite A-1, Austin 78705
• Board-certified oral/maxillofacial surgeon; the Central Austin office handles implants and bone grafting.
• Dr. Mike Williamson: Williamson Perio — worth considering if you're farther north

• 7200 N Mopac Expy #210, Austin 78731
• Board-certified periodontist offering implants and procedures such as sinus lifts when bone is insufficient. Reddit

What I'd do in your situation

Don't schedule the graft immediately. Schedule a consultation/3-D evaluation first. Ask them to show you the CBCT and answer:

• Exactly how many millimeters of bone are missing?
• Is the graft definitely necessary, or is implant placement without grafting possible?
• Is this a socket preservation, ridge augmentation, sinus lift, or another type of graft?
• What graft material will they use and why?
• Can the graft and implant be done at the same time?
• If not, how long will you have to wait between graft and implant?
• Who will place the final crown, and is that dentist involved in the planning?
• What is the total cost from extraction/graft → implant → abutment → crown, rather than just the surgical price?

The timing can vary substantially: one Austin practice says graft healing commonly takes 3–6 months, while the exact timing depends on the location and extent of reconstruction. Randal Watson, DDS, PA

If you want just one name to call first, I'd start with Dr. Melanie Robinson for a periodontist's opinion. If your case involves a difficult extraction, major bone reconstruction, sinus lift, or significant surgical anxiety, I'd also get an opinion from Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates.

If you tell me which tooth (e.g. upper molar, front tooth, lower molar), whether it's already been extracted, and roughly where in Central Austin you are, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best specialists for your specific situation and compare their locations, reviews, specialties, and contact/appointment information.

Yes — and because you’re specifically worried about bone grafting before an implant, I’d consult a periodontist or oral & maxillofacial surgeon who routinely does both grafting and implant placement, rather than choosing a general dentist solely on reviews.

My top Central Austin choice

Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, Austin, TX 78705

This is particularly convenient for central Austin, and the practice specifically performs bone grafting, sinus lifts, and dental implants. Their surgeons use 3D CBCT imaging to evaluate bone volume, nerves, and sinus anatomy before treatment. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

For your situation, I like the fact that they can handle the surgical side of the entire sequence rather than sending you somewhere else for the graft. Their own explanation also emphasizes that implant treatment is normally a team effort between the surgeon and the restorative dentist who ultimately makes the crown. CTX Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

Another excellent option nearby

Melanie D Robinson DDS, MS — 3305 Northland Dr., Suite 204, Austin, TX 78731

Dr. Robinson's practice is focused on periodontics, bone grafting and dental implants, and specifically offers major/minor bone grafting and sinus grafting. Austin Periodontics Her office also has a strong local review profile, although I wouldn't use reviews alone to make a surgical decision.

A third option I'd consider is Dr. Mike Williamson: Williamson Perio at 7200 N MoPac Expy #210. He's a board-certified periodontist whose practice focuses on periodontal surgery and implants, including bone procedures and sinus lifts.

What I'd do in your shoes

Before scheduling the graft itself, schedule a consultation first and ask them to do a CBCT/3D evaluation if appropriate. Don't commit to the graft until you've gotten a specific explanation of:

• Exactly how much bone you've lost and why.
• Whether you need a graft, ridge augmentation, socket preservation, or sinus lift.
• Whether the graft and implant can be done together or need to be staged.
• What graft material they recommend and why.
• How long they expect you to heal before implant placement.
• Who will place the implant and who will make the final crown.
• The total cost from extraction → graft → implant → abutment → crown, rather than just the graft price.
• What happens if the graft doesn't integrate sufficiently.

For example, one Austin practice notes that graft healing can commonly take 3–6 months, but the appropriate timeline varies considerably depending on the type and location of graft. Randal Watson, DDS, PA

If you tell me which tooth/teeth need the implant (front tooth, molar, upper/lower jaw), whether the tooth has already been extracted, and roughly where in Central Austin you are, I can narrow this to the 2–3 specialists I'd personally get consultations from and compare their credentials, reviews, location, and implant/graft approach.

Yes. Because you’ve already had implant complications, I would favor a periodontist or prosthodontist with substantial implant-revision experience, rather than another general dentist. Implant problems can involve the implant itself, surrounding bone/gums, the bite, or the crown/abutment, so the right specialist depends somewhat on what went wrong. Ceramic Dental Implant Centre My Specialty Dentist

My first choices near North Loop

• Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W 38th St, essentially right by North Loop/UT. This would be my first call if the concern is gum inflammation, bone loss, infection around the implant, recession, or whether the implant can be saved. They're a periodontal/implant specialty practice, which is particularly appropriate for evaluating peri-implant disease.
• Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group — 1500 W 38th St #34. I'd strongly consider this if your problem is more about the crown, implant-supported bridge, bite, aesthetics, looseness, repeated crown/screw problems, or whether the restoration needs to be redone. They're prosthodontists, so their perspective is particularly valuable for complicated implant restorations.
• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St #400, very close to North Loop. I'd choose an oral surgeon if there's concern about implant removal, bone grafting, infection requiring surgery, nerve involvement, or a surgically complicated implant.
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St #51. Another convenient surgical option with a focus on implants and oral surgery.

If it were me

For a true second opinion after a complication, I'd actually consider getting two specialist perspectives before allowing anyone to remove or replace the implant:

Council Oak Perio → evaluate the implant, gums and bone
Shoal Creek Prosthodontic → evaluate the restoration, bite and long-term reconstruction

That's particularly useful if someone has already told you that the implant needs to be removed. A good second opinion should establish why it's failing and whether the implant/restoration can be salvaged before committing you to a major redo. Ceramic Dental Implant Centre

When you call, I'd specifically say: “I'm seeking an independent second opinion for a previously placed dental implant with complications. I want an evaluation of whether it can be salvaged versus removed/replaced.” Ask whether they perform implant complication/revision cases, not just routine implant placement.

Also bring all prior X-rays/CBCTs, implant brand/component information, operative notes, photos, and the original treatment plan if you can get them. Serial imaging can be especially useful for determining whether bone loss is progressing. Ceramic Dental Implant Centre

If you tell me what complication you're having (pain, infection/drainage, bleeding, bone loss, loose implant, loose crown, numbness, implant placed incorrectly, etc.), which tooth/teeth, and roughly where in North Loop you are, I can narrow this down to the one or two specialists I'd choose for your particular situation.

My top choices near North Loop

1. Melanie D Robinson DDS, MS — Periodontist

• 3305 Northland Dr, Suite 204, very convenient to North Loop.
• This would be my first call for an implant complication involving infection, bone loss, gum recession, implant stability, or the tissue around the implant.
• Her practice specifically focuses on periodontics and dental implants, including bone grafting and regenerative procedures.
• Current listing: 4.9/5 from 121 reviews.
• Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham

• 711 W 38th St, Suite G5, also extremely close to North Loop.
• Another strong choice if you want a periodontist's independent assessment. Current patient feedback particularly mentions knowledgeable, non-pushy treatment and guidance through complicated implant treatment.
• This would be my second choice, and potentially my first if the problem seems primarily periodontal.
• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates

• 3200 Red River St, Suite 400, near UT.
• I'd lean toward an oral surgeon if there is a broken implant, difficult removal, significant infection, nerve symptoms, bone grafting issue, or a question about whether the implant needs to come out.
• They specifically handle implant surgery and related complications.
• Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group

• 1500 W 38th St, Suite 34.
• I'd consider this particularly if the complication is with the crown, bite, implant-supported bridge, aesthetics, loose restoration, or the way the implant is being restored, rather than primarily an infection/bone problem.
• It's led by a board-certified prosthodontist, which is valuable for complicated implant restoration.

If it were me

I'd start with Dr. Melanie Robinson for an independent evaluation, particularly if you aren't sure whether the implant is failing or why you're having symptoms. Her location is also unusually convenient for the North Loop area.

If there's a surgical complication—especially severe pain/swelling, drainage, a mobile implant, suspected fracture, nerve symptoms/numbness, or an implant that may need removal—I'd add an oral surgeon to the evaluation rather than relying solely on a restorative dentist.

One important point: don't let anyone immediately remove the implant before you have an independent diagnosis, unless there's an urgent infection or other reason that makes immediate treatment necessary. For a complicated implant, the original records, serial X-rays/CBCTs, implant manufacturer information, operative notes, and restoration records can be extremely useful. Ceramic Dental Implant Centre

If you tell me what complication you're experiencing (e.g., pain, infection, bone loss, loose implant, gum recession, numbness, broken screw/crown, implant placed incorrectly, etc.) and which tooth/teeth, I can narrow this down to the one or two Austin specialists I'd choose for your particular situation.

Yes — if you’re looking for an implant consultation now, with placement planned after pregnancy, I’d prioritize an implant-focused specialist rather than simply booking a general dentist.

Near UT Austin, my top picks are:

1. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, very close to UT. They’re oral/maxillofacial surgeons and specifically handle dental implants and pre-implant procedures. This would be my first call for surgical implant planning.
2. Najy Zarroug DDS MD — 711 W 38th St., Suite A-1, also very convenient to UT. Board-certified oral surgeon offering implant evaluation and related bone grafting.
3. Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St. #51. Implant-focused oral surgery practice with CBCT/3D imaging and implant placement.
4. Williamson Perio — 7200 N MoPac #210. A periodontist/implant specialist, particularly worth considering if you anticipate needing bone or gum work before the implant.

What I'd do in your situation

You can pre-book the consultation for after delivery, and tell them you're pregnant and want the appointment primarily for evaluation and treatment planning, with actual implant surgery deferred until your dentist/OB agree the timing is appropriate. The consultation can establish whether you need extraction, bone preservation/grafting, implant placement, and a crown—and how long the whole sequence is likely to take.

If the tooth is currently present but needs extraction, don't wait until after pregnancy without asking your regular dentist/OB, because sometimes the priority is managing infection or preserving the bone even when the implant itself is postponed.

If you tell me which UT campus area you're closest to (West Campus, North University, or East Campus) and whether this is one missing tooth vs. a tooth that still needs extraction, I can narrow this to the best 1–2 offices.

• Dr. Barry D. Cunningham, DDS - 711 W 38th St Ste. A-1, Austin, TX 78705, United States

Since you’re planning ahead during pregnancy, I’d pre-book a consultation rather than a placement date. Implant timing is usually individualized after delivery and healing, and your dentist/oral surgeon will want to review your oral health, imaging, medications, and pregnancy/postpartum status before scheduling surgery.

Near the UT Austin campus, these are good practices to consider for a future implant plan:

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St, Suite 400, Austin, TX 78705. This is very close to UT and is an oral surgery practice that handles implant placement and related surgical procedures.
• Najy Zarroug DDS MD — 711 W 38th St, Suite A-1, Austin, TX 78705. A nearby oral surgery option offering implant-related procedures and pre-implant treatments such as bone grafting when needed.
• Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W 38th St, Suite G5, Austin, TX 78705. A periodontics/implant-focused office near UT that may be a good fit if gum health or bone evaluation is part of your implant planning.
• Midtown Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery — 901 W 38th St, Suite 410, Austin, TX 78705. Another UT-area oral surgery practice offering implant surgery and pre-implant procedures.
• Bonasso Franklin, DDS — 2905 San Gabriel St, Suite 202, Austin, TX 78705. A general/restorative dental office near campus that can be useful if you need the restorative side (crown planning, coordination with a surgeon). Treaty Oak Dental

For your situation, I’d ask when you call:

• “Do you see pregnant patients for implant planning only?”
• “Can we do the exam now and delay CBCT imaging/surgery until after pregnancy if appropriate?”
• “Do you coordinate implant placement with a restorative dentist?”
• “How long after delivery do you typically recommend waiting before implant surgery?”

If you tell me whether you need a single-tooth implant, multiple teeth, or an implant after an extraction, and roughly when your due date is, I can narrow this to the best type of provider to pre-book.

For a single front tooth (the esthetic "smile zone"), the most important factor is not just placing an implant—it is placing it in the exact 3D position so the final crown and gum line look natural. Many of the best cosmetic outcomes involve a team consisting of:

• a periodontist or oral surgeon who specializes in esthetic implant placement, and
• a prosthodontist or cosmetic dentist who designs the final crown.

If you're in or near Hyde Park, Austin, these would be at the top of my list:

1. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates (Red River St., just south of Hyde Park)

• Very convenient to Hyde Park.
• Strong option for implant surgery with 3D-guided planning.
• Good if you already have a restorative dentist or prosthodontist. Treaty Oak Dental
• Bedrock Periodontics

• Specifically advertises esthetic dental implants for front teeth.
• Focuses on gum contours, implant positioning, and natural-looking smile-zone results—exactly what matters for a front tooth. Bedrock Periodontics
• Smile Boutique Implant Center | Dr. Afsaneh Rad, D.M.D., M.Sc., M.M.Sc.

• Prosthodontics-focused practice.
• Particularly strong if achieving the most natural-looking final crown and smile esthetics is your priority.
• 38th Street Dental

• Close to Hyde Park.
• Experienced in implant restorations and cosmetic dentistry.
• Convenient if you prefer having much of the treatment coordinated in one office.
• Dr. Mike Williamson: Williamson Perio

• Periodontal specialty practice with experience in single-tooth implants and cosmetic gum procedures, which can be important for front teeth.

If I were choosing

For the highest cosmetic expectations on a single upper front tooth, I'd lean toward:

• Bedrock Periodontics for implant placement because of their emphasis on esthetic smile-zone implants, then
• a skilled cosmetic restorative dentist (or prosthodontist) for the final crown if they don't restore it themselves. Bedrock Periodontics

Questions to ask during your consultation

• How many single front tooth implants do you perform each year?
• Will you use CBCT-guided digital planning?
• Can I see before-and-after cases of upper front tooth implants?
• Will I receive an immediate temporary tooth after extraction/implant, if appropriate?
• Who fabricates the final crown, and is there a prosthodontist involved?
• Will bone grafting or soft-tissue grafting be needed to preserve the gum line?

A front tooth is one of the most technique-sensitive implant procedures in dentistry, so I'd prioritize experience with esthetic anterior implants over simply choosing the closest office.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, I’d prioritize a practice that can evaluate the injury now and also handle implant planning, rather than waiting for a routine implant appointment.

My top Austin options

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St. A true oral-surgery practice that handles extractions, implants, and pre-implant procedures. This would be my first call if you specifically want a surgeon involved.
• North Austin Dentistry — 6850 Austin Center Blvd. Strong option if you're near Crestview/North Austin; they advertise same-day emergency care and dental implants, with Saturday hours.
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St. Another implant-focused oral-surgery option, particularly appropriate if the injury requires extraction, grafting, or surgical implant placement.
• Elite Dentistry Cosmetic & Implant Center of ATX — 2530 Walsh Tarlton Ln. Offers emergency care plus implant and same-day implant workflows; useful if you want consultation and restorative treatment coordinated in one practice.
• Austin Institute of Dental Medicine — 1401 Philomena St. A multispecialty center advertising same-day emergency appointments and surgical/implant services.

Important: if the tooth was knocked completely out recently, don't wait for an implant consultation. A permanent knocked-out tooth can sometimes be replanted, and the sooner it's treated the better. Handle it only by the crown, gently rinse it, and if it won't go back into the socket, keep it moist in milk or saline and seek emergency dental care immediately. River Park Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Austin Dental Center

Also, an implant usually isn't automatically placed immediately after a sports injury. The dentist/oral surgeon needs to assess the socket, bone, gum injury and infection risk; sometimes the tooth can be saved, while other cases need extraction, grafting, temporary replacement, and implant placement later.

If by “near Crestview” you mean a different Crestview (not the Austin neighborhood), tell me the city/state and I'll narrow this to dentists near you.

Because this was a sports injury, I’d prioritize an oral surgeon/implant specialist who handles dental trauma, rather than choosing purely on cosmetic-implant reviews. Also, a lost permanent tooth is time-sensitive: the first appointment should assess the socket, bone, soft tissue, and whether immediate implantation is actually appropriate.

My top Austin options

• Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin — 5301 Davis Ln #102, Austin. This is probably my first call for your situation. They specifically treat dental/facial trauma, offer emergency appointments, use 3D/CBCT imaging and computer-guided implant planning, and say some urgent cases can be seen the same day. Their site also discusses immediate implant placement in appropriate cases. Oss Austin Oss Austin
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St. Particularly relevant because they explicitly handle sports-related dental trauma, including knocked-out/dislodged teeth, and perform implant surgery and grafting. Widner Oral Surgery
• Hill Country Oral Surgery — 3423 Bee Caves Rd. A strong option if you're toward West Austin; they offer implant surgery, grafting and oral-surgery care, with a board-certified oral/maxillofacial surgeon and implant credentials. Diamond Dental Austin
• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St. Another specialist option for extraction, implant placement and emergency surgical care; they report same-visit treatment when clinically appropriate.
• Austin Institute of Dental Medicine — 1401 Philomena St. Worth calling if getting seen extremely quickly is the priority; they advertise same-day emergency appointments and have multiple specialties under one roof.

For your specific situation, I'd call Oral Surgery Specialists of Austin and Widner first and say: “I lost a permanent tooth in a sports injury and need an urgent trauma evaluation and implant consultation. Do you have a same-week appointment, and if I'm a candidate, can the implant surgery be done this week?”

One important caveat: same-week consultation does not necessarily mean same-week implant placement. Immediate placement depends on the socket being suitable, infection/contamination, remaining bone, bite forces, and the condition of the surrounding tissues. Sometimes preserving the socket with grafting and delaying the implant produces a better result. Emergency Dentist of Austin South Austin Dental Associates

If the tooth was just knocked out today, don't wait for an implant consultation—contact an emergency dentist/oral surgeon immediately. If you have uncontrolled bleeding, major facial swelling, trouble breathing/swallowing, or suspected jaw fracture, go to an ER.

If you mean Mueller in Austin, for severe dental anxiety + dental implant placement, I’d lean toward an oral surgeon or implant-focused practice that routinely provides IV sedation, rather than a general dentist who only offers nitrous.

My top choices

1. East Austin Oral Surgery — my first choice for you

• Very close to Mueller.
• Specifically performs dental implants and offers IV sedation as well as office-based general anesthesia. East Austin Oral Surgery East Austin Oral Surgery
• Their anesthesia page explicitly describes IV sedation as producing a very relaxed state with potentially little/no memory of the procedure, which is particularly relevant with severe anxiety. East Austin Oral Surgery
• Because they're an oral-surgery practice, implant placement is squarely within their specialty.
• River Rock Dental Austin - Mueller — best if staying extremely close to home matters

• They have a Mueller location and offer implants plus multiple levels of sedation, including IV sedation. River Rock Dental Austin River Rock Dental Austin
• Their sedation program specifically discusses patients with dental anxiety and deeper sedation options. River Rock Dental Austin
• I'd ask specifically who administers the IV sedation and how deeply sedated you can be for implant surgery.
• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — strong option if your anxiety is extreme

• They perform implant placement and offer IV sedation administered and monitored by trained anesthesia providers. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates
• Their practice is specifically set up for oral surgery rather than routine dentistry.
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

• Offers IV sedation, oral sedation, nitrous, and general anesthesia for anxious patients, along with implant surgery. Widner Oral Surgery
• Worth considering if you're willing to travel a little farther for a surgical specialist.

What I'd do in your situation

I'd call East Austin Oral Surgery first and tell them plainly:

“I have severe dental anxiety and need an implant. I'm specifically looking for implant placement with IV sedation, and I'm very anxious about being awake or remembering the procedure. Can I have a consultation specifically to discuss sedation?”

That's important because “sedation” can mean very different things. IV conscious sedation can leave you responsive while causing substantial relaxation and amnesia; general anesthesia is a different level in which you're unconscious. East Austin Oral Surgery

Also ask:

• Who actually administers and monitors the anesthesia?
• Do you offer deep IV sedation or general anesthesia, if appropriate?
• Can the consultation itself be anxiety-friendly, with minimal treatment until you're comfortable?
• Will the implant placement and any bone grafting be done under the same sedation?
• What will you need to do beforehand, and will you need someone to drive you home?

Given “severe” anxiety, I would not settle for a practice simply saying “we offer sedation.” I'd want them to be comfortable treating highly anxious patients and to have a clearly defined IV/deep-sedation protocol.

If you tell me roughly where in Mueller you are (e.g. Aldrich St, Mueller Blvd, or near Dell Children's) and whether you're looking for one implant vs. several/full-mouth implants, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best options and compare distance, sedation level, implant expertise, and reviews.

Given severe dental anxiety + implant placement, I’d lean toward an oral surgeon or implant-focused practice that routinely handles IV/deeper sedation, rather than a general dentist who merely offers nitrous.

My top picks near Mueller

1. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — my first choice

• 3200 Red River St, relatively close to Mueller.
• They specifically perform dental implant placement and offer IV sedation administered/monitored by trained anesthesia providers. Their site says patients can have little to no memory of the procedure. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates
• For someone describing their anxiety as severe, I particularly like the combination of an oral-surgery practice + implant surgery + IV sedation.
• Union Dental Implant Center — particularly worth considering for extensive implant work

• 1211 E 11th St, so it's extremely convenient from Mueller.
• They focus heavily on implants/full-arch reconstruction and offer general anesthesia with a board-certified anesthesiologist. Union Dental Implant Center
• This would be high on my list if your anxiety is at the level of “I don't want to be aware of the procedure at all.”
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

• 1500 W 38th St, a bit farther west.
• Implant-focused oral-surgery practice offering IV sedation and general anesthesia, along with other sedation options. Widner Oral Surgery
• A good option if you want a dedicated oral surgeon rather than a general dental office.
• Dr.Luana Badea DDS / Badea Dental

• This is more of a comfort-focused general-dentistry option than my first choices for the actual implant surgery. The practice has particularly strong anxiety-related patient feedback, but its listed sedation is primarily nitrous.
• I'd consider this type of office for your ongoing dental care, but for implant placement under significant sedation, I'd favor one of the surgical practices above.

What I'd do in your situation

I'd call Central Texas Oral Surgery first and say something very specific:

“I have severe dental anxiety and need an implant. I don't do well being awake for dental procedures. Do you offer IV sedation for implant placement, and who administers and monitors the sedation?”

Then ask whether they can do the implant placement itself under IV sedation, rather than just sedating you for an extraction.

If the idea of being even partially conscious is frightening, I'd also get a consultation at Union Dental Implant Center and specifically ask about their general-anesthesia option with the anesthesiologist. Their published approach is unusually well suited to someone with significant dental phobia. Union Dental Implant Center

One important distinction: IV sedation isn't necessarily the same thing as being completely unconscious. With IV conscious sedation, you can remain responsive and may simply remember very little; general anesthesia is the deeper option where you're unconscious. Anchor Dental Implant Center East Austin Oral Surgery

If you tell me whether this is one implant vs. several/full-mouth implants, and roughly how far you're willing to travel from Mueller, I can narrow this to the 2–3 practices I'd personally consult first, including their sedation credentials, implant experience, reviews, and approximate location.

For one implant in/near downtown Austin, I’d put Eggleston Oral and Facial Surgery at the top of your list if your priority is having the surgical placement done by a specialist. It’s at 1209 W 5th St, very close to downtown, and Dr. Todd Eggleston is a board-certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon. The practice specifically handles dental implants and bone grafting. Eggleston Oral & Facial Surgery

My shortlist

1. Eggleston Oral and Facial Surgery — best overall for the surgical side

• Downtown/West 5th location.
• Board-certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
• Particularly attractive if the tooth needs extraction, you might need a bone graft, or the case is anatomically complicated.
• I would ask whether they coordinate the final crown with your general dentist or have a restorative dentist they recommend.
• Primavera Dental Group - Downtown Austin — best convenience if you want everything closer to downtown

• 815 Brazos St, right in downtown.
• They specifically advertise consultation, imaging, treatment planning and implant placement, so you can start with one office rather than coordinating multiple specialists. Primavera Dental Group
• This would be my choice if your case appears straightforward and you value convenience.
• Periodontal Surgical Arts — worth considering for an especially aesthetic or gum-related case

• Periodontics/implant specialty practice.
• Offers single-tooth implant placement plus regenerative and soft-tissue procedures.
• A periodontist is particularly useful if you have gum recession, thin gum tissue, or questionable bone around the implant site.

What I'd do

Book the consultation with Eggleston first, particularly if you haven't had the tooth evaluated yet. For a single implant, I wouldn't choose based primarily on advertised price or "same-day" marketing. You want a careful evaluation of the bone, gums, neighboring teeth, bite, and the eventual crown position before anyone places the implant.

At the consultation, ask:

• Is the tooth actually non-restorable, or is saving it still an option?
• Do I need an extraction and/or bone graft?
• Will you take a CBCT/3D scan?
• Who will make and place the final crown?
• Is the implant placement guided?
• What's the total cost from extraction through final crown, including imaging, grafting and temporary tooth if needed?
• How long should I expect between placement and the permanent crown?

One important point: implant placement and the crown are separate parts of treatment. A technically excellent implant can still produce a mediocre-looking tooth if the restorative planning isn't done well, so I'd want the surgeon and restorative dentist to agree on the final tooth position before placement.

If you tell me which tooth (front/back, upper/lower), whether it's already missing or needs extraction, and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 Austin offices I'd actually call first and compare their implant pricing, credentials, reviews, and distance from downtown.

If it’s one missing tooth and you want both the consultation and surgical placement handled by a specialist, my first call would be:

My pick: Eggleston Oral and Facial Surgery

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-391-0011)

It’s very close to downtown at 1209 W 5th St, and Dr. Todd Eggleston is a board-certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon who specifically offers dental implant placement and bone grafting. Their site emphasizes using digital scans to plan implants and says you can contact them directly without a referral. Eggleston Oral & Facial Surgery

For a single implant, I like this route because the surgical side is being handled by an oral surgeon rather than a general dentist who happens to offer implants.

Two other good options

• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — centrally located near UT at 3200 Red River. They specifically perform implants and bone grafting, and the practice includes board-certified oral surgeons.
• Downtown Dental Design — a more convenient downtown general/restorative option that also offers implants. I'd favor this if you want your general dentist and implant restoration coordinated in one office.

One important distinction: implant placement and the final crown don't necessarily need to be done by the same dentist. For a single tooth, an ideal setup can be an oral surgeon/periodontist placing the implant and a prosthodontist or restorative dentist designing and placing the crown.

If you tell me which tooth you're replacing (front vs. back), whether it's already extracted, your dental insurance, and roughly what you're hoping to spend, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 Austin practices and compare their implant expertise, reviews, location, and likely cost structure.

If you’re in Hyde Park, Austin, and you’ve been told you have limited bone and may need a sinus lift before implants, I’d favor a periodontist or oral & maxillofacial surgeon who routinely does both grafting and implant placement, rather than a general dentist who simply coordinates the graft elsewhere.

My top choices

• Melanie D Robinson DDS, MS — 3305 Northland Dr., Suite 204, Austin. She’s a periodontist who performs implants and bone grafting, including sinus-related grafting. Her practice specifically describes a conservative approach to grafting, which could be valuable when you’re concerned about how much bone you actually need. Austin Periodontics
• Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — 3200 Red River St., Suite 400, very close to Hyde Park. This is an oral-surgery practice offering implants, bone grafting and sinus lifts. Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates
• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St. #51, also very convenient from Hyde Park. They offer implant placement, bone grafting and CBCT 3-D imaging.
• Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin — farther south, but particularly worth considering for a complex low-bone case. Their surgeons are board-certified oral & maxillofacial surgeons, and they specifically perform sinus lifts, bone grafting and implants with CBCT-based planning. They state that some patients can receive the implant at the same time as the sinus lift, while others need graft healing first. OSSAustin

Who I'd consult first

For your situation, I'd start with Melanie Robinson or Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates because they're close to Hyde Park and give you two somewhat different specialist perspectives: a periodontist/implant specialist and an oral surgeon.

If your bone is very limited, I'd strongly consider getting two opinions before agreeing to grafting. A CBCT (3-D scan) is particularly useful because the decision depends on your actual residual bone height, sinus anatomy and planned implant position—not simply whether someone says "you don't have enough bone." Austin Perio Health OSSAustin

When you call, I'd ask: “I have limited bone in the upper posterior jaw and may need a sinus lift. Do you personally perform the graft and implant placement, and can you evaluate me with a CBCT to determine whether I need a sinus lift, ridge graft, or both?”

If you tell me which tooth/teeth you're replacing (e.g., upper #14/15) and roughly where in Hyde Park you are, I can narrow this to 2–3 surgeons and compare their credentials, distance, reviews, and whether they handle the entire graft-to-implant process in-house.

If you’ve been told you have limited bone and may need a sinus lift before implants, I’d lean toward a periodontist or oral/maxillofacial surgeon who routinely does both bone grafting/sinus augmentation and implant placement, rather than starting with a general dentist.

My Austin shortlist

• Periodontal Surgical Arts — 3423 Bee Caves Rd, Ste C-101, Austin. This would be one of my first consultations. It’s a periodontal/implant specialty practice that handles bone regeneration, grafting, sinus lifts and implants, and uses CBCT and surgical technology for complex cases. Austin Periodontics
• Hill Country Oral Surgery — 3423 Bee Caves Rd, Bldg C, Suite 201. Particularly worth considering if your case involves significant bone deficiency or a more complicated sinus lift. Their board-certified oral surgeons specifically perform bone grafting, sinus lifts and implant surgery, with 3D CT-based planning. Hill Country Oral Surgery
• Periodontal Health Professionals — 4613A Bee Caves Rd #203, West Lake Hills. They specifically list ridge augmentation, guided bone regeneration, lateral-window and indirect sinus augmentation, as well as implant placement.
• Austin Implants & Periodontics — 8701 Menchaca Rd. A South Austin option specializing in implants, bone grafting and sinus grafting, including situations where grafting and implant placement can sometimes be combined.
• Dr. Mike Williamson: Williamson Perio — 7200 N Mopac Expy #210. Dr. Mike Williamson is a board-certified periodontist with extensive implant experience, and the practice specifically offers sinus lifts and implant therapy. Williamson Periodontics

Who I'd consult first

For your particular concern—limited bone + possible sinus lift + implants—I would get two opinions, ideally:

1. Periodontal Surgical Arts for a periodontist-led implant/grafting plan.
2. Hill Country Oral Surgery for an oral-surgeon perspective, especially if the CBCT shows very little bone or a difficult sinus anatomy.

That comparison is useful because the key question isn't simply “Can I get an implant?” It's how much bone is actually available, whether a sinus lift is really necessary, whether grafting and implant placement can be combined, and which approach gives you the most predictable long-term result. Sinus lifts are commonly used when insufficient upper-jaw bone height prevents conventional implant placement. Hill Country Oral Surgery North Austin Oral Surgery

When you call, I'd specifically ask: “Do you place the implants yourselves, or will I be referred elsewhere after the sinus lift/graft?” Ideally, you want the surgeon and restorative dentist to have a coordinated plan from the beginning.

If you tell me which tooth/teeth you’re replacing (e.g., upper first molar), roughly where in Austin you want to stay, and whether you already have a CBCT scan, I can narrow this to the 2–3 strongest choices and compare their credentials, reviews, location, and approach to sinus lifts.

If you’re near Mueller in Austin and specifically want computerized implant planning + guided implant surgery, I’d prioritize a dentist or implant specialist who actually uses CBCT (3D cone-beam CT), digital implant planning software, and surgical guides/navigation—not just a practice that advertises “modern dentistry.” Perio Surgical Arts Oral Surgery Specialists of Austin

A few good options to investigate:

Closest Mueller-area option

• Austin Institute of Dental Medicine — In Mueller and appears to have a broad implant/surgical workflow with advanced digital tools and an on-site surgical center. This is convenient if you want implant planning, surgery, and restoration coordination under one roof.

East Austin options with implant focus

• Union Dental Implant Center — East Austin implant-focused practice that emphasizes digital planning, CBCT-based workflows, and implant reconstruction.
• East Austin Oral Surgery — Oral surgery practice near East Austin that uses 3D imaging for surgical planning and provides implant surgery.

If you want the most technology-focused implant surgery

• Periodontal Surgical Arts — A specialist practice that specifically describes CT-guided and dynamic 3D navigation implant surgery. Perio Surgical Arts
• Bedrock Periodontics — Periodontics/implant specialty practice that highlights CBCT, digital workflows, 3D printing, and X-Guide navigation.

When you call, I’d ask these exact questions:

1. “Do you use CBCT + virtual implant planning before surgery?”
2. “Is my implant placed with a 3D-printed surgical guide or dynamic navigation?”
3. “Who places the implant—the restorative dentist, periodontist, or oral surgeon?”
4. “Can I see a 3D simulation of the planned implant position before scheduling?”
5. “Do you handle the crown/restoration digitally as part of the same workflow?”

For someone living around Mueller, I’d probably start with Austin Institute of Dental Medicine for convenience, then compare with a specialist implant surgeon such as Periodontal Surgical Arts or Bedrock Periodontics if you have a complex case (bone loss, sinus proximity, multiple implants, or a full-arch situation).

If you tell me whether this is one missing tooth, multiple implants, or All-on-4/full arch, I can narrow the list.

If the accident caused multiple teeth to be lost, I would not start by choosing a dentist based on “same-day implants.” You want a coordinated oral-surgery + prosthodontic/reconstructive evaluation, because trauma can affect the bone, bite, roots of neighboring teeth, and facial structures.

My Austin shortlist

• Best fit for complex reconstruction: Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group — a prosthodontic practice focused on complex restorative cases, implant restorations, full-arch treatment, and full-mouth reconstruction. Their Austin office is at 1500 W 38th St. Fredrickshaw DDS
• Best surgical/trauma starting point: Vincent Cavaretta, DDS at Hill Country Oral Surgery — an oral/maxillofacial surgeon with training in maxillofacial trauma, reconstructive surgery, bone grafting and implants. Hill Country Oral Surgery
• Strong implant-surgery option: Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — oral/maxillofacial surgery with implant placement and complex/full-mouth reconstruction.
• Another coordinated option: ClearChoice Dental Implant Center - Austin — combines prosthodontists and oral surgeons at one location and handles full-arch cases. ClearChoice
• If you're looking for a comprehensive one-location approach: Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — oral surgery and implant care in central Austin.

The plan I'd ask for

At the first consultation, ask them to give you a written reconstruction plan before committing to implants:

1. 3D CBCT scan + comprehensive exam — determine bone loss, fractures, retained roots/fragments, sinus involvement, and condition of neighboring teeth.
2. Trauma assessment — determine which remaining teeth are genuinely salvageable versus better removed.
3. Bone/soft-tissue reconstruction — if the accident destroyed bone, you may need socket preservation, bone grafting, or other regenerative treatment before implants.
4. Temporary teeth — establish how you'll eat and look while the sites heal.
5. Implant strategy — individual implants, implant-supported bridges, or a full-arch solution depending on how many teeth and how much bone were lost.
6. Prosthodontic design first — the final teeth/bite should determine implant positions, rather than placing implants first and figuring out the teeth afterward.
7. Final restoration + maintenance — crowns/bridge/full-arch prosthesis, bite adjustment, and long-term implant maintenance.

For example, Austin practices describe full-arch reconstruction as strategically placing implants to support a fixed set of replacement teeth, while conventional multi-step treatment may involve healing/integration before the final restoration.

My first call would be to Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group for the reconstruction/prosthetic plan, while making sure an oral/maxillofacial surgeon evaluates the trauma and bone. If the accident was recent or you have facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, numbness, severe pain, difficulty breathing/swallowing, or a suspected jaw fracture, don't wait for an implant consultation—seek urgent/emergency evaluation first.

If by “Crestview” you mean the Crestview neighborhood in Austin, the options above are Austin-based. If you mean a different Crestview, tell me which one and I can narrow this to the best specialists nearby.
