Family dentistry · Austin, Texas · Est. 1993

Compassionate, comprehensive dentistry for the whole family.

We are a locally owned family dental practice in South Austin, led by Dr. Shelby Knight and his sister Dr. Miranda Torrey. Together they bring a combined 37 years of experience to every appointment, and they built this practice around one idea: the dental visit should feel comfortable, unhurried, and honest.

We know the idea of going to the dentist can be daunting. We want to change that. From basic cleanings to dental implants, we offer a full range of services using current technology, and we work to maximize your insurance benefits — because great dentistry should never come with surprises.

Our team strives for perfection in the work we do, and we look forward to becoming the dental home for you and your family.

Services

Eleven areas of care, one family practice.

01

Invisalign

Clear aligners that straighten teeth without brackets or wires — removable for eating and brushing, and barely visible day to day.

02

Teeth whitening

Professional whitening that lifts years of coffee, tea, and time in a single visit, with results that store kits cannot match.

03

Crowns

Tooth-shaped caps that restore strength and shape to teeth weakened by decay, cracks, or large old fillings.

04

Fillings

Tooth-colored composite fillings that repair cavities and blend with your natural enamel — no silver spots.

05

Root canals

Modern root canal therapy that removes infection from inside the tooth and relieves deep, persistent tooth pain — comfortably.

06

Dentures & partial dentures

Full and partial dentures fitted carefully for comfort and a natural look, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

07

Dental implants

Permanent replacements for missing teeth that look, feel, and function like your own — from a single tooth to full arches.

08

Porcelain veneers

Thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth, reshaping chips, gaps, and stubborn discoloration into a uniform smile.

09

Bridges

Fixed bridges that span the gap of missing teeth, anchored to neighboring teeth for a stable, natural-feeling bite.

10

Extractions

Gentle removal of teeth that cannot be saved, with clear aftercare instructions so healing stays smooth.

11

Cleanings & exams

Routine preventive care: thorough cleanings, exams, and X-rays that catch small problems before they grow.

Questions, answered

Do you take my insurance?

We are in network with a wide variety of dental plans. Bring your card to your first visit and we will verify your benefits before treatment, then file claims for you.

I haven't seen a dentist in years. Will I be judged?

No. Many of our patients arrive after years away, often embarrassed. We do not lecture — we make a plan and start where you are.

What are your hours?

Monday through Thursday, 8am to 5pm, and Friday 8am to 1pm. We are closed Saturday and Sunday.

Do you see children?

Yes — we are a family practice. Kids, parents, and grandparents are all welcome, and nervous young patients get extra patience.

What if I have a toothache right now?

Call (555) 010-2030 as early in the day as possible. We do everything we can to see emergency patients the same day.
