SmileCraft Dental

You're Not the Only One Who Feels This Way

Some people dread the dentist because of a painful visit years ago. Others worry about needles or the sound of the drill. Some feel embarrassed because it’s been a long time since their last checkup. All of these feelings are common, and no one here will judge you for them.

At SmileCraft Dental, we change how the visit feels. We explain every step before it happens, let you control the pace, and offer comforts that make the chair feel less clinical. We offer everything from routine cleanings to advanced treatment, so once you’re comfortable with our team, you can keep seeing the same faces as your needs change.

If you live in Silverado Ranch, Block House Creek, or Avery Ranch, our office at the Leander–Cedar Park line is only a few minutes away.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

When you call to book, tell us what worries you, whether it’s needles, sounds, or a bad experience in the past. Your visit can start with a conversation before we do anything else.

We’ll go at your pace. If a full exam feels like too much, we can start small and build from there. You’re welcome to ask questions at any point.

Once we’ve seen what’s going on, we’ll show you your images, explain your options and what each one costs, and plan the next steps together, at a speed that feels right to you.

Insurance and Payment Options

Cost worries can add to dental anxiety, so we explain it upfront. We’re in network with most major PPO plans, and we also offer fee-for-service care. Before treatment, our front desk will review your coverage and estimated costs with you, so nothing surprises you later. Coverage for sedation varies by plan, and we’ll let you know what yours includes.

Items on our Comfort Menu, like beverages, blankets, headphones, and the overhead TV, are always complimentary. Nitrous oxide is available for $150 if you’d like extra help relaxing.

Frequently Asked Questions

I haven't been to the dentist in years. Will I be judged?

Never. Many of our patients have taken a break from dental care for one reason or another. We’re glad you’re here, and we’ll start wherever you are, without lectures.

Yes, anytime. Just raise your hand, and we’ll pause until you’re ready to continue. You can also ask questions along the way, and we’ll explain what’s happening before we move on.

Yes. We offer nitrous oxide for children who feel nervous, and we review your child’s health history before using it. We also take extra time to explain each step in a kid-friendly way, so your child knows what to expect. See our children’s dentistry page.

Not necessarily. Many anxious patients do well with a calm room, comfort items like noise-canceling headphones and an eye mask, and clear explanations. If you’d like more help, we’ll talk through your sedation options together and choose what fits your comfort level and budget.

Smile. Relax. You're in Good Hands.
