Convenient Access from Easton Park
A 14-minute drive up US 183 connects Easton Park with Super Kids Austin, so a pediatric dentist near Easton Park is closer than many families realize. The 7.6-mile trip ends at our office in Southeast Austin, on E Riverside Dr. We treat children only, from a baby's first checkup to a teenager's last one before college.
Starting from Newton Collins Elementary at 7609 Apogee Blvd, wind out of the neighborhood on Moonbeam Dr, Leroi Dr, Lauper Dr and Hillock Terrace. Turn east on E William Cannon Dr for a little under a mile, then take US 183 north. Stay in the free lanes and take the E Riverside Dr exit, then follow E Riverside Dr back to Thrasher Ln.
The office is at 6707 E Riverside Dr #201, Austin, TX 78741, on E Riverside Dr near Montopolis Dr. Save it on Google Maps before the first trip so the exit and the last turns are easy. Families closer in can also read our pages for Dove Springs and Montopolis.
A Growing Community, a Dental Home That Grows with It
Easton Park is an Austin-address community in southeast Travis County, built as a master-planned neighborhood off E William Cannon Dr. Its children attend Del Valle ISD schools rather than Austin ISD, and many start at Newton Collins Elementary, which opened in August 2018. The Kangaroos' campus sits right inside the neighborhood, so the school day is part of everyday life on these streets.
Nearby, McKinney Falls State Park offers swimming, trails and camping, and children 12 and under get in free. Kids can pick up a free Junior Ranger activity journal and explore the limestone ledges along the creeks. It is the kind of backyard adventure that keeps a family outside on a Saturday.
Super Kids Austin also dates to 2018, when Dr. Patel opened the practice. Today, families from Easton Park find a superhero theme, toys and prizes, and a baby room for the very first checkups. A short drive up US 183 brings them to two board-certified pediatric dentists who focus only on children.
Location matters when choosing a dentist for young kids, and Easton Park sits well southeast of central Austin. US 183 does most of the work, and E William Cannon Dr puts you on it within a few minutes of leaving home. The trip runs longer at rush hour, so a mid-morning or early-afternoon slot is often the easiest to manage with a toddler.
Early Habits Easton Park Parents Can Start Now
In a newer community full of young families, early habits shape teeth for years. Before the first tooth, wipe your baby's gums with a soft, damp cloth after feedings. Once that tooth arrives, a tiny smear of toothpaste is enough, and the first dental visit should follow within six months.
Baby teeth do far more than fill a smile. They help children chew, speak clearly and hold space for the adult teeth coming in underneath. When a cavity shows up in a primary tooth, treating it keeps your child comfortable and protects that path for the permanent tooth.
By kindergarten at Newton Collins or another Del Valle ISD campus, most kids are ready for routine cleanings, fluoride treatment and, later, sealants on their molars. For an Easton Park family, an after-school visit on Tuesday or Thursday is realistic, because the office stays open until 6:00 PM those days. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, hours run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Some children need more help than a pep talk. For kids with significant anxiety, trouble sitting still or extensive treatment needs, the practice offers sedation, from nitrous oxide through a small nose mask to oral and IV options. General anesthesia, when needed, happens only in a hospital setting under an anesthesiologist. Our dentists explain each option and why it fits before treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Super Kids Austin from Easton Park, and how do I get there?
The office is about 7.6 miles from Newton Collins Elementary, roughly a 14-minute drive. Take E William Cannon Dr east to US 183, head north in the free lanes, and exit at E Riverside Dr. That makes us a practical pediatric dentist near Easton Park for after-school checkups and the occasional emergency.
Is my toddler's pacifier habit a problem for their teeth?
It can be, especially if the habit lasts as the mouth grows and adult teeth get closer. Long-term pacifier or thumb habits can affect how teeth line up. Our dentists review pacifier, bottle and sippy-cup habits at early visits and suggest a gentle plan for weaning when the time is right.
Do you check babies for tongue-tie or thrush?
Yes, infant exams include a look for thrush, tongue-tie and teething discomfort. These checks fit naturally into the first visit, which should happen within six months of the first tooth or by the first birthday. If something needs attention, our dentists explain what they see and the next steps in plain language.
Does my child need checkups if their teeth look healthy?
Yes, regular checkups catch problems that are hard to spot at home, such as early decay between teeth. A gentle cleaning, an exam and digital x-rays with minimal radiation give our dentists the full picture. Sealants and fluoride treatment can then protect healthy teeth before trouble starts, which keeps visits short and easy.
Do you offer payment plans for families without dental insurance?
Yes, uninsured families can use flexible payment plans or Cherry financing, which splits costs into monthly payments, often with zero interest options. New patients without insurance can also choose the $79 cleaning, exam and x-ray, offered in the absence of periodontal disease. The front desk can explain the options when you book.
