Take Galleria Parkway to Bee Cave Parkway, turn right, then make a brief right onto Bee Caves Road before turning sharply left onto SH 71.

A Southwest Parkway Office for Bee Cave Families
Bee Cave is an incorporated Hill Country city in Travis County, roughly 12 miles west of Austin and bordering Lakeway to the northwest. Early settlers named the area for a large cave of wild bees, and a post office opened as "Bee Caves" in 1870. The city incorporated in 1987, and the 2020 census counted 9,144 residents.
The city takes its night sky seriously, even with the busy shops around the Hill Country Galleria. In April 2023 Bee Cave became Texas's seventh International Dark Sky Community, with lighting rules that keep the night sky visible. Families also gather at Bee Cave Central Park, one of the city's parks.
For busy households, an easy drive matters. The route never touches MoPac or downtown. The office keeps a later Monday schedule, open until 6:00 PM, and opens at 7:00 AM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Inside, the pace is calm, too. Patients get unhurried visits, a small, consistent team and a clear explanation of every finding.
Everyday Dental Questions Bee Cave Patients Bring Us
Many new patients arrive with something specific on their mind: a stained smile they want brighter, a back tooth that aches now and then, or a long gap since their last cleaning. Each of those has a straightforward first step, and none of them calls for embarrassment.
Brightening is one of the most common requests. Coffee, tea and red wine slowly darken enamel, and professional whitening lifts much of that staining. For teeth that are chipped or uneven as well as dull, veneers and bonding can be combined into a planned makeover, and a Trial Smile preview shows the proposed look before any permanent work.
Aches that come and go are worth attention even when they fade. A tooth that twinges with sweets or pressure can mean a cavity or a crack that is easier to fix early. If pain turns sharp or swelling appears, Dr. Lewis and the team make every effort to see you the same day.
Gum health shapes the whole plan. Patients with periodontal disease need a different kind of care than a routine cleaning, and the office walks through those options openly before anything begins. That also affects which payment options fit, since the membership plan is designed for patients without gum disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Glow Dental Co from Bee Cave, and how do I get there?
Bee Cave City Hall is about 7 miles from the office, a drive of roughly 12 minutes. Head down SH 71 to Southwest Parkway and follow the parkway east to Building One. Families searching for a dentist in Bee Cave, TX will find the toll-free route, with no U-turn at the end, easy to repeat.
Do I still need cleanings if I brush and floss well?
Yes. Even careful brushers build up tartar in spots a toothbrush cannot reach, especially behind the lower front teeth and along the gumline, and only a professional cleaning removes it. The exam at the same visit also catches early cavities and gum changes you cannot feel. Twice a year suits most adults.
Will my teeth be sensitive after whitening?
Some people notice mild, short-lived sensitivity after whitening, usually for a day or two. It tends to fade on its own, and a toothpaste for sensitive teeth helps in the meantime. Mention any sensitivity you already have before treatment, since worn enamel or exposed roots may change the approach Dr. Lewis recommends.
Is it a problem if I haven't seen a dentist in a long time?
Not at all. Many new patients come in after a long gap, and the first visit starts with a conversation rather than a lecture. A full exam with digital imaging and intraoral photography shows where things stand, and Dr. Lewis walks you through the findings on screen so you can decide on next steps.
Should I see a dentist for a toothache that comes and goes?
Yes. Pain that fades and returns often points to a cavity, a cracked tooth or an irritated nerve, and those problems are simpler to treat early. Call if the ache comes back, keeps you awake or comes with swelling. New patients can start with the $49 Emergency Exam & X-Ray to find the cause.
