If by Crestview you mean the North Austin neighborhood, I’d prioritize dentists in/near North/Central Austin rather than sending your family across town.

My top picks for cheap preventive care

• Best value if you’re uninsured: Choice Austin Dental — 11645 Angus Rd. They specifically emphasize preventive/conservative care and offer an in-house dental savings plan. Their current new-patient offer is $149 for exam + X-rays + cleaning, which is quite reasonable for a first visit. Choice Austin Dental
• Best for a family membership plan: TRU Dentistry Austin — farther south, so less convenient from Crestview, but their TRU Club is unusually inexpensive: $140/year for a family of up to 2 or $280/year for up to 5, with free exams/X-rays and discounted cleanings.
• Best absolute bargain if you can tolerate a teaching clinic: ACC Dental Hygiene Clinic — this is the one I'd investigate first if price is the main concern. Their basic cleaning is only $20, including a dentist exam, X-rays as needed, gum assessment, polishing and fluoride. They also offer $40 deep cleanings. Registration for new patients is scheduled to reopen August 24, 2026. The catch is that comprehensive care can require 3–5 appointments because students provide the hygiene treatment. Guidelines and Technical Tutorials
• Good nearby family option: Lucent Dentistry — 3909 N I-35, near the Hancock area. It offers both adult and pediatric dentistry, including routine cleanings, exams and X-rays, and has a strong 4.9/5 rating from 500+ reviews in the local listing.

What I'd choose

For a family living in Crestview, I'd do this:

1. ACC Dental Hygiene Clinic if you're uninsured and willing to spend more time for dramatically lower prices.

2. Choice Austin Dental if you want a conventional private dentist that's reasonably close and you want a more normal family-dentist experience.

3. TRU Dentistry if you're willing to drive farther and want a low-cost family membership plan.

One important caveat: the advertised cheap cleaning prices generally apply to routine prophylaxis. If someone has gum disease or needs a deep cleaning, the price can jump substantially. For example, Lady Bird's $99 special explicitly excludes periodontal disease. Lady Bird Dental Austin TX

If you tell me how many adults/kids are in your family and whether you have dental insurance (or no insurance), I can compare the likely annual cost for your whole family and find the cheapest option within about 5–10 minutes of Crestview.

If you’re in downtown Austin and need an extraction urgently while unemployed/uninsured, I’d start with CommUnityCare rather than a typical private dentist because they offer extractions and emergency dental treatment with sliding-scale fees for eligible patients. Texas DSHS also recommends 2-1-1 for finding low-cost dental services. Texas Health Services Trinitycenter

• Dental line: 512-978-9895

• Swish Dental Downtown

• 201 W 5th St., right in downtown
• 512-713-1099
• Offers extractions and emergency visits and says uninsured patients can use low-cost memberships and payment plans. Swish Dental Swish Dental
• Better if you need something very convenient downtown and can manage a private-office payment.
• BLVD Dentistry & Orthodontics of 5th Street

• 1011 W 5th St.
• 737-990-4135
• Advertises emergency/walk-in dentistry and transparent pricing.

If you need care tonight

Since it's Sunday evening, the downtown offices above aren't currently open. If you have rapidly increasing facial/neck swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, or swelling around the eye, that's an emergency—go to an ER/911 rather than waiting for a dentist.

Otherwise, I'd call RBJ Dental first thing Monday and say:

“I recently lost my job and don't have dental insurance. I have a tooth that needs extraction and I'm in pain. Do you have an urgent appointment, and can you tell me what the lowest/sliding-scale cost would be before I come in?”

You can also call Texas 2-1-1, which Texas DSHS says provides dental-resource referrals 24/7. Texas Health Services

If you tell me whether you have any dental insurance/Medicaid, how many teeth need extracting, and roughly what you can afford (e.g. $50, $100, $200), I can narrow this down to the cheapest realistic option and check which places are open tomorrow.
