Convenient Access from Western Oaks
Changing jobs, starting a business or waiting for new benefits to kick in shouldn't mean pausing your family's dental care. Craft of Dentistry is about 8 minutes from Western Oaks, at our office on Menchaca Rd in Austin. Households that want a dentist near Western Oaks can count on an in-house membership plan with no waiting period, plus Dr. Yaron Shvets and Dr. Anne Lyon for everything from cleanings to wisdom teeth.
Starting where Davis Ln meets La Cresada Dr in the Village at Western Oaks, drive east on Davis Ln for about 0.6 mile and get on MoPac heading north. After roughly a mile, take the William Cannon exit onto the S MoPac service road and turn right onto W William Cannon Dr. Head east about 2.1 miles to Menchaca Rd and turn right. The 4.3-mile drive takes about 8 minutes.
The office is a few hundred feet south of the corner at 7002 Menchaca Rd #100, Austin, TX 78745 (map and directions on Google). There are no toll lanes on this short stretch of MoPac. Neighbors north and south can visit our Oak Hill and Circle C Ranch pages.
Keeping Care Going When Benefits Change
Western Oaks is a southwest Austin neighborhood in Travis County, centered on the Village at Western Oaks and organized around Davis Ln, with MoPac along its eastern side. Inside the neighborhood, the city's Village of Western Oaks Karst Preserve protects karst features that recharge the Barton Springs segment of the Edwards Aquifer, part of the land Austin Water manages for environmental protection.
In any neighborhood, plenty of people find that their dental coverage shifts over time. Contract workers, small-business owners, early retirees and anyone between employers can find themselves without benefits for months. Dental needs don't wait for open enrollment.
A membership plan fills that gap. Instead of paying full price for each cleaning or skipping visits until new insurance starts, members pay a flat monthly or yearly fee and keep their routine care going. When better coverage comes along, the records and relationships stay at the same office.
Getting here is quick, too. Davis Ln feeds straight onto MoPac, and the William Cannon exit is only about a mile up the road, so most of the trip is a single east-west street. Appointments begin at 8:30 AM Monday through Thursday, with Monday to Wednesday visits running until 5:00 PM.
How the Elite Dental Savings Plan Works for Western Oaks Families
The Elite Dental Savings Plan is our in-house membership, and it is not insurance. Adult Complete costs $39 a month or $468 a year, and Child Complete for ages 0 to 12 costs $35 a month or $420 a year. Each includes two cleanings, two exams, routine x-rays and one emergency exam and x-ray, and the child plan adds two fluoride treatments.
The fine print is short. Members pay no deductibles and face no waiting periods, annual maximums, claim denials or pre-approvals, and benefits start immediately. Members also receive 20% off recommended treatment, with orthodontic treatment excluded.
Families save a little more. Each added family member's subscription is 10% off, so a household can join together and keep everyone on the same cleaning schedule. You can sign up by phone, at the front desk or online.
The plan pairs well with the practice's conservative style. Our doctors recommend what your teeth truly need, and with the member discount on that treatment, you can plan the work in an order that suits your budget.
New patients start with a comprehensive exam, digital x-rays, an oral cancer screening and a one-on-one talk about goals. A detailed financial consultation follows, so you know what each step costs and which ones can wait. If another office has already given you a treatment plan, you can bring it along for a complimentary second opinion as a new patient.
Everyday and Urgent Care by a Dentist Near Western Oaks
Preventive Dentistry
Member or not, exams and cleanings are where savings start. Preventive Dentistry for Western Oaks families includes panoramic and digital x-rays that reveal problems while they are inexpensive to treat.
Oral Surgery
Extractions, bone grafting and wisdom teeth removal happen in-house. Keeping Oral Surgery at the same office spares you a separate referral and a second set of new-patient paperwork.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges restore teeth before small damage spreads. Restorative Dentistry qualifies for the member discount on recommended treatment.
Emergency Dentistry
A cracked tooth can't wait for open enrollment. Emergency Dentistry offers same-day emergency care whenever possible, and the $79 emergency exam and x-ray is available to new patients without insurance.
Meet Your Dentists
Dr. Yaron Shvets, known to many patients as Dr. S, runs the practice around honest, judgment-free conversations and ethical, conservative treatment plans. Dr. Anne Lyon is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry with over 30 years in cosmetic and family dentistry and memberships in the ADA and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Insurance & Financing
Insured patients are welcome too: the office accepts most major PPO plans, offers a free benefits analysis and helps out-of-network PPO patients understand their options. Verify your specific plan with our team. CareCredit and 0% interest deferred plans for up to 24 months cover larger work, depending on the treatment.
