A locally owned family dental practice — compassionate, comprehensive care since 1993.
Book a visitGoing to the dentist can feel daunting. We want to change that. South Austin Family Dental is a locally owned family practice, established in 1993, led by Dr. Shelby Knight and his sister Dr. Miranda Torrey, with a combined 37 years of experience. From basic cleanings to implants, we offer the full range of dental services with current technology, and we work to maximize your insurance benefits. Your experience in our office is our highest priority — our team strives for perfection in the work we do, and we look forward to becoming the dental home for you and your family.
Clear aligners that straighten teeth discreetly, without brackets or wires. A comfortable path to a straighter smile for teens and adults.
Professional in-office whitening that lifts years of stains in a single visit, with results far beyond store-bought kits.
Custom-made caps that cover damaged teeth, restoring strength, shape, and a natural look to teeth weakened by decay or cracks.
Tooth-colored composite fillings that repair cavities and blend in with your natural enamel.
Modern, comfortable root canal therapy that removes infection from inside the tooth and relieves deep, persistent tooth pain.
Full and partial dentures, fitted carefully for comfort and a natural appearance, so you can eat and smile with confidence.
Permanent replacements for missing teeth that look, feel, and function like your own — from a single tooth to full arches.
Thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth, reshaping chips, gaps, and discoloration into a uniform, bright smile.
Fixed dental bridges that span the gap of missing teeth, anchored securely to neighboring teeth for a stable, natural bite.
Gentle, careful removal of teeth that cannot be saved — with clear aftercare so healing is as smooth as possible.
Routine preventive care: thorough cleanings, exams, and X-rays that catch small issues before they become big ones.
South Austin Family Dental is in network with a wide variety of dental insurance plans. The team verifies your benefits before treatment and works to maximize what your plan covers. Claims are filed for you — you pay only your share. No insurance? Ask about payment options when you call; larger treatments can be staged across visits to fit your budget.
The practice knows the idea of going to the dentist can be daunting, and changing that is part of the job. Tell the team what worries you and they will pace the visit around you — explaining each step, checking in often, and never rushing. Compassionate, comfort-first care is the whole point of a family practice.
Call during office hours to book or reschedule. For a dental emergency, call as early in the day as possible and the team will do everything they can to see you the same day.
