Convenient Access from Lost Creek
Most Lost Creek homes are about 14 minutes from Glow Dental Co, whichever end of the main boulevard you start from. Our office is on Southwest Parkway in Southwest Austin, a short trip south of the Barton Creek hills. Homeowners who want a dentist near Lost Creek will find Dr. Kelsi Lewis offering crowns, implants and cosmetic care alongside routine checkups.
From the Lost Creek Limited District Community Center on Quaker Ridge Drive, turn right onto Lost Creek Boulevard and drive east to Loop 360. Head south on Loop 360 for about 2.6 miles, follow the ramps briefly onto MoPac and its southbound service road, then turn right onto Southwest Parkway. Stay on the parkway west for about 3.6 miles and make a short U-turn into the driveway at Building One, 7717 Southwest Pkwy Unit 150, Austin, TX 78735. That works out to roughly 8.4 miles, and Loop 360 and MoPac can add time at rush hour.
Homes near the west end of the boulevard have a second choice: follow Lost Creek Boulevard west to Barton Creek Boulevard and take it south to Southwest Parkway, about 6.3 miles in similar time. Either way, the district's parks and greenbelt trails are behind you as you leave. Patients from Regents Hills and West Lake Hills are nearby as well, and our Google Maps pin gives turn-by-turn directions.
A Dental Home for Lost Creek's Hill Country Streets
Lost Creek is a census-designated place in unincorporated Travis County, covering about 3.3 square miles of hills and knolls. It is bounded by Loop 360 on the east, Barton Creek on the south, Barton Creek Boulevard on the west and Bee Caves Road on the north. Rob Roy sits nearby, and West Lake Hills is a short drive north.
The community began as a master-planned development in the 1970s and grew over the following three decades into roughly 1,200 custom homes. Sections such as Parkstone, Woods of Westlake, Camelot and Knollwood line the side streets. The Lost Creek Limited District looks after local parks, from Boulder Trail Park to the Whitemarsh Valley Nature Trail.
The district also maintains the Lost Creek Greenbelt along Barton Creek, and it recently approved rebuilding all five stairway access points down to it.
Glow Dental Co suits patients who like to plan ahead. Appointments are unhurried, every finding is shown on screen and cost estimates come before any work, so you can plan treatment the same careful way you would plan a renovation.
Maintaining Mature Smiles: What Lost Creek Adults Should Know
Dental work does not last forever. Fillings and crowns placed decades ago can loosen, leak at the edges or wear down, and the tooth underneath can decay without much warning. Regular exams with digital x-rays catch those changes while a repair is still small.
Replacing an old restoration is also a chance to rethink the look of a smile. A tired crown can be replaced with one that matches the teeth around it, and bonding or veneers can even out the front teeth. Fastmill in-office milling lets many patients complete a new crown in a single visit.
When teeth are missing, an implant is often the most natural-feeling replacement, standing on its own without relying on the teeth beside it. A bridge or partial denture may be a better fit for some people, and Dr. Lewis explains each path honestly.
Gum health ties everything together. Healthy gums support crowns, implants and natural teeth alike, so twice-yearly cleanings remain the foundation of every plan.
Medications play a part as well. Many common prescriptions reduce saliva, and a dry mouth leaves teeth more open to decay, especially around the edges of older fillings and crowns. Sharing any new prescriptions at your checkup helps the team watch for it and suggest ways to protect your teeth.
Cosmetic and Restorative Care From a Dentist Near Lost Creek
Cosmetic Dentistry
Anyone planning a refresh can start with smile design planning and a digital smile preview. Seeing the proposal first makes it easier to choose between whitening, bonding and veneers.
Restorative Dentistry
Aging fillings, cracked teeth and worn crowns are rebuilt to look natural and chew well. Bridges and dentures close gaps when implants are not the right choice.
Implant Dentistry
An implant replaces a lost tooth root and crown together. Whether you are a good candidate depends on your bone and gum health, which an exam with imaging shows.
Invisalign
Teeth can shift with age, crowding the front of the smile. Clear aligners straighten them gradually and come out for meals.
General Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and digital x-rays protect both natural teeth and existing dental work. Families of all ages are welcome, from first cleanings onward.
Every plan starts the same way: a conversation about your goals, then a full exam with digital imaging and intraoral photography. You can learn more about that approach on our what makes our office different page.
Meet Dr. Kelsi Lewis
Outside the office, Dr. Kelsi Lewis is a mom to her daughter Olivia and to two golden retrievers, Zoe and Chloe, and she makes time for travel and Pure Barre classes. In the chair, she takes her time. She reviews photos and x-rays with you and checks in after procedures to see how you are healing.
Insurance & Financing
The insurance team files your claims with any of the multitude of providers the office works with, and you see a detailed cost breakdown before treatment begins. Larger plans can be spread out through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit or Proceed Finance. Cards, cash and checks are accepted for everything else.
What Others Are Saying
Patients consistently tell us the same things: no one has ever explained their dental health this clearly before, they have never felt so unhurried at a dental office, and this was genuinely the best dental experience they have ever had.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Glow Dental Co from Lost Creek, and how do I get there?
Lost Creek is about 8.4 miles from the office, roughly a 14-minute drive. Take Lost Creek Boulevard to Loop 360, go south to MoPac and then west on Southwest Parkway. West-end homes can use Barton Creek Boulevard instead, a shorter 6.3 miles in similar time, which keeps this dentist near Lost Creek within easy reach.
How do I know if an old crown or filling needs replacing?
An exam with x-rays is the only reliable way to tell. Warning signs include a dark line at the edge of a crown, food catching in one spot, new sensitivity to cold or a rough edge your tongue keeps finding. Dr. Lewis shows you photos and x-rays of the tooth, so you can see the problem for yourself.
Can dry mouth from medication damage my teeth?
Yes, it can. Saliva washes away food and neutralizes acid, so when a medication reduces it, cavities form more easily, often along the edges of older fillings and crowns. Sipping water, chewing sugar-free gum and keeping up with cleanings all help. Let the team know about new prescriptions so they can watch the at-risk areas.
Does a dental implant need special care once it is in place?
An implant needs the same daily care as a natural tooth: brushing twice a day, flossing or using a water flosser around it, and regular cleanings. The implant itself cannot decay, but the gum around it can become inflamed if plaque builds up. Regular exams let Dr. Lewis check the gum and the bite around the implant.
Why do my teeth look shorter or flatter than they used to?
Usually because of wear. Grinding or clenching at night, acidic drinks and years of chewing all shorten teeth gradually. A custom nightguard made on the office's SprintRay 3D printer can slow grinding damage, while bonding or crowns can rebuild length where wear has gone further. Dr. Lewis can point out the wear pattern on your own photos.
