If budget is the priority, I’d start with Union Dental Implant Center and get a written all-in quote before committing. It’s in East Austin rather than North Loop/Crestview, but it’s close enough that I think it’s worth the short drive for implant-specific care and its reputation for comparatively affordable pricing. Union Dental Implant Center
For your specific area, I’d also contact:
- Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W 38th St, very convenient to North Loop. It’s a periodontal/implant specialist, which is attractive if you want the implant placed by a specialist rather than a general dentist.
- Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St, also extremely convenient to Crestview/North Loop. Good option if the tooth needs extraction or you may need bone grafting.
- 8118 Dental Professionals — on Shoal Creek Blvd and offers single implants with CBCT-based planning. I'd ask them for their complete cash price, rather than just the advertised implant fee.
What I'd do in your shoes
I'd call 3 offices and ask exactly this:
“I need one tooth replaced with an implant. I'm paying out of pocket and am very price-sensitive. What is your total cash price from extraction through the final crown, including the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, and any necessary bone grafting? Do you offer financing or a cash discount?”
That's important because an advertised "$1,500 implant" can become $4,000–$6,000+ once the abutment, crown, extraction, CT scan and grafting are added.
For context, I found Austin practices currently advertising complete single-tooth implant packages ranging from roughly $2,495 to $3,999, while other offices quote substantially more. For example, Anchor advertises $2,495 for implant + abutment + crown (case-dependent), while South Austin Dental Associates advertises $3,999 including all three. Anchor Dental Implant Center South Austin Dental Associates
My first call would be Union, and my second would be Council Oak because of the location. If you tell me roughly which tooth (#8 front tooth, molar, etc.), whether it's already missing or needs extraction, and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best-value options and compare their current implant pricing/financing.

If budget is the priority and you want to stay around North Loop/Crestview, I’d start with Austin Dental Works and get a written implant quote before committing. It’s at The Triangle, offers implants in-house, and is much closer to your target area than many of the implant-specialty offices. Austin Dental Works
That said, I found a couple of options that may be better specifically for price:
- Best nearby first call: Austin Dental Works — 4601 N Lamar Blvd. They handle the implant process through the final crown and offer financing. I’d ask for their cash/self-pay all-in price.
- Best price-shopping call: River City Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — a current Austin cash-price listing shows $1,600 for implant placement, but importantly, that may be the implant placement only, not the complete implant + abutment + crown. MarketCare
- Good value benchmark: River Park Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry currently advertises $3,500 for a complete single implant, including implant, abutment and crown, although it's not in your immediate neighborhood. River Park Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry
- Another useful benchmark: South Austin Dental Associates advertises $3,999 all-in for a single implant (implant body + abutment + crown) and financing. South Austin Dental Associates
What I'd do in your shoes
I'd call 2–3 offices before choosing, because implant quotes can be misleading. Ask:
“I need one single-tooth implant. I’m paying cash/out of pocket. What is your total all-in price, including the implant post, abutment, crown, 3D/CBCT scan, placement, and any follow-up visits? Are there additional charges for extraction or bone grafting if needed?”
For a straightforward case, I'd be suspicious of any quote that sounds dramatically cheaper until you confirm the crown is included. A reasonable Austin benchmark for a complete single implant appears to be roughly $3,000–$4,500, with some practices advertising below that. Dentist in Austin MarketCare
If you tell me whether you have dental insurance, whether the tooth is already extracted, and roughly what your budget is (e.g. <$2,500, $3k, $4k), I can narrow this down to the 3 best dentists around North Loop/Crestview and compare their actual implant pricing, reviews, financing, and distance from you.

Answer 3 of 3, 24th Aug 2026, unknown, does not mention you
If you mean North Loop/Crestview in Austin, and the priority is a good single-tooth implant without overpaying, I’d start with Austin Texas Dental Implants and River Park Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry.
My shortlist
- Austin Texas Dental Implants — I’d call this one first for a budget quote. They advertise a $899 implant itself, with the abutment and crown priced separately, and say their free consultation provides digital imaging and an all-inclusive treatment plan. Dr. Le - Elite Dentistry, TX
- River Park Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry — Their current advertised $3,500 single-implant special includes the implant, abutment, and crown, which is much more useful for comparison because you're looking at the complete restoration rather than just the implant screw. They note that bone grafting/lab costs can change the price. River Park Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry
- Avenue Dental — Worth getting a third quote. Their North Austin office offers implants and financing through CareCredit plus an in-house savings plan. Avenue Dental
- Swish Dental — Another reasonable comparison if you want something convenient in Austin. They advertise free implant consultations and financing through in-house plans, Affirm and CareCredit. Swish Dental
What I'd ask when you call
Don't just ask "How much is an implant?" Ask:
"I'm replacing one tooth. Can you give me the total cash price from extraction, if needed, through the final implant crown, including the implant post, abutment, crown, imaging, and any surgical fees? Also, what would a bone graft cost if I need one?"
That's important because a "$899 implant" can become several thousand dollars once the crown, abutment, imaging, extraction, and grafting are added.
If I were trying to minimize cost, I'd get the $3,500 River Park quote and the Austin Texas Dental Implants quote, then compare the all-in totals. I wouldn't choose solely on the lowest advertised number.
If you tell me which tooth (front/back, upper/lower), whether it's already extracted, and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 offices I'd contact first and look specifically for current implant specials near Crestview/North Loop.

If this is for your teen, I’d separate the decision into two parts: who should manage them now and who should ultimately handle an implant. Implants in a growing teenager can be more complicated because the jaw may still be developing, so I’d want a dentist who is comfortable coordinating the timing rather than rushing to implant placement.
My first choice near Mueller
Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry would be my first call for the teen’s ongoing dental care and initial implant consultation/planning.
They’re right in Mueller at 3607 Manor Rd., and their two dentists, Dr. Chang Ryu and Dr. Michelle Kim, are board-certified pediatric dentists. Importantly for your situation, they explicitly treat teens, and their training focuses on dental and jaw growth and development. Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry
That makes them particularly appealing if the missing tooth is in a teen who may not yet be ready for a permanent implant. They can evaluate the tooth, bone, bite and development, then coordinate with an implant/prosthodontic specialist when the timing is appropriate.
A very good alternative
Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics is another strong Mueller option. They're at 1900 Aldrich St. and have board-certified pediatric dentists plus orthodontic care under the same roof. That combination could be useful if the implant question is intertwined with orthodontics or space management. Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry
For the eventual implant itself
For the actual implant/restoration, I'd favor a prosthodontist-led plan, rather than assuming the same general dentist should do everything. A prosthodontist specializes in tooth replacement and implant restoration.
One convenient specialty option is Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group, which is relatively close to Mueller and specifically handles implants and implant restorations.
Another option, particularly if you want a more comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation, is Austin Institute of Dental Medicine in the Mueller area. It lists pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, periodontics and oral/maxillofacial surgery among its specialties, which could make coordination easier for a complicated case.
What I'd do as a parent
I'd start with Austin Pearls and specifically ask:
“My teenager may eventually need a dental implant. We want a dentist who will manage their dental health long-term and make sure an implant isn't placed before facial growth is complete. Can you evaluate the situation and coordinate with a prosthodontist/orthodontist if needed?”
I'd also ask whether the immediate goal should be preserving the space/tooth, orthodontic management, a temporary replacement, or waiting for implant placement.
If you tell me your teen's age, which tooth is missing/damaged (e.g. front upper tooth, premolar, molar), and whether it's already been extracted, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 Austin specialists for that specific situation and compare their credentials, location, reviews, and likely care pathway.

- Jefferson Clark, DDS, MS - 2350 Professional Dr #100, Roseville, CA 95661, United States
For a parent in Mueller (Austin) looking for a dentist for an implant consultation plus long-term family care, I’d prioritize a practice that can coordinate three things well:
- A careful implant evaluation (bone health, bite, growth considerations if your teen is involved)
- A restorative plan (the crown/tooth that goes on the implant)
- Years of preventive care afterward
One important note: if the patient needing the implant is your teen, I would first confirm that jaw growth is complete. Implants are usually delayed until facial growth has finished, because a fixed implant does not move with developing teeth.
My shortlist near Mueller:
Best “family dentist + convenient Mueller location”
River Rock Dental Austin - Mueller
DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-669-5147)
- A strong fit if you want one office for ongoing cleanings, exams, restorative work, and an initial implant discussion. They advertise implant services and have a Mueller location. River Rock Dental Austin
- I’d ask specifically: “Who places the implant, who restores it, and do you coordinate with a periodontist or oral surgeon for complex cases?”
Best if the implant case is complex or you want a specialist opinion
DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-960-4225)
- A prosthodontist is a dentist with specialty training focused on tooth replacement, crowns, bridges, and complex restorations. Dr. Ernesto Carmona’s practice specifically focuses on prosthodontics and implants. Austin Prosthetic Dental Austin Prosthetic Dental
- This would be my choice for a second opinion before committing to a significant implant treatment plan.
Good option if you want a prosthodontist-led implant restoration plan
DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+15124581162)
- Their practice focuses on prosthodontics, dental implants, and complex restorative dentistry. L Burkett Dental
If you specifically want an implant surgery specialist
DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-306-8822)
- A periodontist focuses on gums, bone, and implant surgery; this can be useful if there is bone loss, gum disease, or a more surgical case. Mueller Implants & Periodontics
What I’d do as a parent
- For a simple missing tooth and a teen nearing adulthood: start with a trusted general/family dentist in Mueller, then get a prosthodontist or periodontist consult before placement.
- For a front tooth, trauma, missing tooth since childhood, bone graft possibility, or multiple teeth: go straight to a prosthodontist/implant specialist for planning.
At the consultation, I’d ask:
- “Is my teen old enough for an implant, or should we wait?”
- “Who will place the implant and who will make the final crown?”
- “How many implants like this have you done?”
- “What happens if the implant doesn’t integrate?”
- “Who will follow us for maintenance 5–10 years from now?”
If you tell me the teen’s age, whether the tooth is missing from an accident/congenital issue/extraction, and whether you want someone within a 10–15 minute drive of Mueller, I can narrow this to 1–2 best fits.

If you mean Airport Boulevard in Austin, I’d shortlist these practices for an All-on-4/full-arch consultation:
- Union Dental Implant Center — Strong fit if you want a clinic focused specifically on full-mouth/full-arch implants. They offer All-on-X using typically 4–6 implants, and Dr. Adam Carter is identified as the implant specialist. Union Dental Implant Center Union Dental Implant Center
- Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — Particularly worth considering if you want a board-certified periodontist involved in the surgical side. They use CBCT imaging and guided implant surgery for full-arch cases. Council Oak Perio
- Oral Surgery Specialists Of Austin — A good second opinion if your case may involve significant bone loss or extractions. Their oral surgeons specifically handle full-arch rehabilitation and emphasize that some patients need more than four implants. Hill Country Oral Surgery
- South Austin Dental — Worth comparing if price matters. They advertise an all-inclusive All-on-4 package and evaluate bone health and implant candidacy before recommending the approach. South Austin Dental Associates
My first two consultations would be Union Dental Implant Center and Council Oak Perio. For something as irreversible and expensive as full-arch implants, I'd get two independent treatment plans rather than choosing based on an advertised "teeth in a day" price.
At the consultations, specifically ask:
- Why 4 implants vs. 5–6 for your anatomy?
- Will you need extractions, bone grafting, or sinus work?
- Who actually places the implants and who designs/constructs the final teeth?
- Is the quoted price for temporary teeth and final zirconia/hybrid teeth?
- What happens if an implant fails?
- What is included in maintenance and future prosthesis replacement?
- Can they show you 5+ years of follow-up cases, not just immediate before/after photos?
One caveat: the search system didn't reliably return Austin businesses specifically around Airport Boulevard, so I wouldn't infer that one of these is the closest to your home. If you give me the nearest cross street or ZIP code along Airport Blvd, I can narrow this to the 3 best options within about 10–15 minutes of you and compare their credentials, reviews, pricing, and consultation process.

Given severe dental anxiety + implant placement, I’d prioritize an implant-focused specialist who routinely handles IV/deeper sedation—not simply a general dentist who offers nitrous.
My Austin shortlist
- Union Dental Implant Center — my first call
- 1211 E 11th St, very close to Mueller/East Austin.
- Implant-focused practice, including surgical and restorative work.
- They specifically emphasize anxiety management and offer general anesthesia with a board-certified anesthesiologist, which is a particularly strong option if “I really don't want to be aware of this” is your concern. Union Dental Implant Center
- For severe anxiety, I'd ask whether your particular implant can be done under IV sedation versus general anesthesia.
- East Austin Oral Surgery
- 2832 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, also quite convenient from Mueller.
- Oral/maxillofacial surgery practice that performs implant placement and offers sedation/anesthesia options.
- This would be a strong choice if your case involves extraction + bone grafting + implant placement, or if you'd feel more comfortable with an oral surgeon handling the surgical portion.
- Austin Institute of Dental Medicine
- 1401 Philomena St, right in the Mueller area.
- Multi-specialty center with implant dentistry, oral surgery/periodontics and an on-site surgical center; sedation is specifically offered for anxiety.
- The advantage here is potentially coordinating the different pieces of implant treatment in one place.
- River Rock Dental Austin - Mueller
- 1801 E 51st St, convenient to Mueller.
- They explicitly offer IV sedation, including for anxious patients, and advertise dental implants. River Rock Dental Austin River Rock Dental Austin
- I'd put them behind the implant/oral-surgery specialists above if you're looking for a particularly complex implant case.
What I'd do in your situation
I'd call Union Dental Implant Center first, and tell them plainly:
“I have severe dental anxiety and I'm looking for implant placement. I don't think I can tolerate being awake for the procedure. Do you offer IV sedation or general anesthesia, and who administers the anesthesia?”
That's an important distinction: IV conscious sedation can make you extremely relaxed and may leave you with little memory of the procedure, but you're generally still responsive. General anesthesia is a much deeper level where you're unconscious. Anchor Dental Implant Center
Also ask whether the anesthesiologist/anesthesia provider is present throughout the procedure, rather than the dentist simply administering an oral sedative. For severe phobia, that distinction may matter a lot.
If you tell me whether this is one implant vs. several, and whether you need an extraction/bone graft first, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices near Mueller and compare their sedation approach, implant specialty, reviews, and likely logistics.

Tracked brands mentioned
Since you’re near Mueller and have severe dental anxiety, I’d prioritize a practice that does both implant surgery and deeper sedation, rather than choosing a general dentist who only offers nitrous.
My first choice: East Austin Oral Surgery
East Austin Oral Surgery
Web
Address: 2832 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd Suite 102, Austin, TX 78702, United States
Phone: +1 512-649-1180
This would be my first consultation for your situation. It’s in East Austin, relatively convenient from Mueller, and is led by Matthew Largent, MD, DDS, a dual-degree oral and maxillofacial surgeon. They perform dental implant placement and offer sedation options for surgical procedures.
For severe anxiety, I particularly like the oral-surgery setting: implant placement is their specialty, rather than being one procedure among many at a general dental office.
Also worth considering
- Central Texas Oral Surgery Associates — very close to central Austin at Red River/UT, with implant surgery and a specialist oral-surgery focus.
- LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — another central-Austin oral surgery option with implant placement and multiple anesthesia/sedation pathways.
- River Rock Dental – Mueller — probably the most convenient option geographically. Their Mueller location specifically offers sedation, including IV sedation, and they explicitly treat dental anxiety. riverrockdentalfamily.comriverrockdentalfamily.com However, for implant placement with severe phobia, I'd personally favor an oral surgeon for the initial consult.
One important question to ask
When you call, don't just ask “Do you offer sedation?” Ask:
“I have severe dental anxiety and need an implant placed. Do you perform the implant surgery under IV sedation, and who administers and monitors the sedation?”
IV sedation can leave patients deeply relaxed with little memory of the procedure, but it isn't the same as general anesthesia. anchordentalimplants.com If your anxiety is extreme enough that you feel you need to be completely unconscious, tell them that explicitly so they can discuss whether deeper sedation or general anesthesia is appropriate.
And you should expect to need someone to drive you home after IV/deeper sedation. riverrockdentalfamily.comriverrockdentalfamily.com
If you'd like, I can also narrow this down to the 3 best implant/sedation dentists within ~10–15 minutes of Mueller, including reviews, distance, sedation type, and whether they appear especially good with severe dental phobia.

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

If you mean Crestview, Florida, I’d put Aspen Dental - Crestview, FL at the top of your list if your priority is knowing the price before committing.
- Aspen Dental — Crestview: Their published 2026 figure is $4,259 per implant on average, with a stated range of $3,158–$6,533. They say that figure includes the implant, crown, abutment, and placement, and that you'll receive a personalized written estimate before treatment. Aspen Dental Aspen Dental
- Cedar Pearl Dental: Another strong choice if you want a local independent office. They specifically say they'll provide detailed treatment cost estimates and show your expected monthly cost, with CareCredit, Cherry, and Alphaeon financing available. Cedar Pearl Dental
- Smileology: Worth considering if you want an implant-focused practice. They advertise a free 3D scan, consultation and exam, and publish full-arch pricing starting at $9,899. However, they explicitly say the final quote requires an in-office scan, so I'd rank them below Aspen for upfront single-implant price transparency. Smileology Smileology
What I'd do
For someone anxious about an unexpected bill, start with Aspen and ask for a written, all-in estimate for one implant. Specifically ask:
“Is the quoted amount truly the total for the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, placement, and follow-up? Are extraction, bone grafting, sedation, or other procedures additional?”
That distinction matters because a seemingly low implant price can exclude the crown, grafting, extraction, or imaging.
If you tell me whether this is one missing tooth and whether you have dental insurance, I can also compare the likely out-of-pocket cost at the best 2–3 Crestview offices.
