Convenient Access from Travis Country
If your workday starts with MoPac, your dental visit can too. Craft of Dentistry is about 8 minutes from the Travis Country entrance on Southwest Pkwy, at our office on Menchaca Rd in Austin. Commuters searching for a dentist near Travis Country can book an 8:30 AM cleaning, get out in good time and still make the morning meeting. Dr. Yaron Shvets and Dr. Anne Lyon keep visits efficient without cutting corners.
From the neighborhood entrance at Southwest Pkwy and Republic of Texas Blvd, head east on Southwest Pkwy for about 0.4 mile. Take the southbound S MoPac service road, which passes under US 290, for roughly 1.4 miles. Turn left onto W William Cannon Dr and drive east about 2.2 miles to Menchaca Rd. It works out to 4.2 miles and usually 8 minutes.
The office sits a few hundred feet south on Menchaca Rd at 7002 Menchaca Rd #100, Austin, TX 78745 (see the Google Maps pin). Because the route uses the frontage road rather than the MoPac mainlanes, there's no toll to pay. Nearby areas have their own pages for Sunset Valley and Oak Hill.
Built Around a Commuter's Calendar
Travis Country is a well-established southwest Austin neighborhood built in sections, with names like Village Park at Travis Country, Travis Country Green and Travis Country West. It sits in Travis County just west of MoPac, with Southwest Pkwy along its southern edge and Barton Creek to the north. The Regents School of Austin is on Travis Country Circle, and the Barton Creek Greenbelt's Hill of Life access lies close by.
MoPac and US 290 are only minutes from the neighborhood entrance, so many Travis Country households commute across town for work. The trade-off is time. When your weekdays are already split between the office, school pickups and traffic, routine dental care is easy to postpone.
That is why the first appointments of the day matter here. The schedule starts at 8:30 AM Monday through Thursday, and the drive heads south, away from the downtown backup. Monday to Wednesday visits continue until 5:00 PM, while Thursday's last appointments end by 3:00 PM.
Making Every Visit Count for Travis Country Professionals
When time is short, the most useful dental office is one that gets more done per visit. CEREC technology lets our doctors design and mill a ceramic crown in the office, so a crown appointment can take less than two hours instead of two separate trips. There's no temporary crown to babysit and no goopy impression trays.
The same thinking runs through the rest of the visit. iTero intraoral scans create precise 3D models of your teeth for crowns and clear aligners, and an intraoral camera puts what our doctors see on a screen in front of you. You leave knowing exactly what is going on and what, if anything, needs to happen next.
Busy adults also tend to overlook signs that build slowly. Loud snoring, morning headaches or waking up tired can point to sleep-disordered breathing. Mention them at a checkup: if sleep apnea is diagnosed, our doctors can fit a custom oral appliance worn while you sleep.
Every exam includes an oral cancer screening, a quick check that's easy to skip when appointments keep getting rescheduled. Finding changes early keeps treatment simpler.
Coffee on the commute and long hours at a desk also leave their mark. Stained enamel, clenching from stress and gums that bleed after skipped flossing all show up at checkups. Our doctors point them out early and suggest the smallest fix that works, whether that is a whitening session, a change in home care or simply a closer look at the next visit.
Planning around the calendar is part of the service. If you need several treatments, our doctors put them in a sensible order by urgency, and a detailed estimate arrives before anything is scheduled.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Craft of Dentistry from Travis Country, and how do I get there?
Craft of Dentistry is about 4.2 miles from the Travis Country entrance on Southwest Pkwy, typically an 8-minute drive. Go east on Southwest Pkwy, south on the MoPac service road under US 290, then east on W William Cannon Dr to Menchaca Rd. It is a toll-free trip to a dentist near Travis Country.
What is the earliest I can book a checkup before heading to work?
The first appointments of the day begin at 8:30 AM, Monday through Thursday. A routine cleaning and exam early in the morning leaves you heading back toward MoPac with the rest of your day intact. Booking your next cleaning before you leave helps you lock in another early slot six months out.
Do I need the MoPac Express Lanes to make an 8:30 AM appointment?
No. The usual route from Travis Country uses the MoPac service road, not the mainlanes or the Express Lanes, so there is no toll. From the Southwest Pkwy entrance you go south under US 290 and east on William Cannon Dr. Rush hour can add a few minutes, so leaving a little early is wise.
Is an oral appliance an option for my diagnosed sleep apnea?
Yes, in many cases. Once sleep apnea has been diagnosed, our doctors can make a custom-fitted oral appliance, worn during sleep, that helps keep the airway open. It is small enough to pack for business travel. Loud snoring, morning headaches or daytime tiredness are all worth mentioning at your next checkup.
Is a cosmetic consultation free for new patients?
Yes. New patients can schedule a complimentary cosmetic consultation to talk through whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding or crowns. Our doctors look at your teeth, bite and gums, explain which options suit your goals and give you an idea of cost. It is a relaxed way to explore options before deciding anything.
