Welcome to Creekwood Dental Arts

From Baylor chemistry labs to crafting smiles in Waco

Dr. Austin Green didn't take a straight road to dentistry. He started at Baylor University studying chemistry, excelled at it, and then realized something important: he hated being alone in a lab. He's a people person, and dentistry gave him the perfect intersection of science, craftsmanship, and genuine human connection. After earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston and completing a General Practice Residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital, he joined Creekwood Dental Arts as an associate of Dr. Donna Miller. He became a partner, bought the practice in 2024, and hasn't looked back. Eight years into his career, he's a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) and a 2024 nominee for AGD New Dentist of the Year.

Dr. Green's passion lives in surgery-focused dentistry, particularly dental implants and full-arch cases, but his philosophy shapes every appointment regardless of complexity. He listens first, explains the "why" behind every recommendation, and makes sure patients walk out with options, not pressure. That approach is shared by Dr. Donna Miller and Dr. Lauren Sweeney, the two general dentists who round out the Creekwood team. Together, they've built a practice that's been a trusted name in the Waco community since 1955, with only three owners in nearly seven decades.

A team that treats you like family, from the first phone call to the final handshake

At Creekwood Dental Arts, the culture starts before you ever walk through the door. Every phone call is answered by a real person, with a smile in their voice, and the goal is simple: listen first, then put you in the right situation to be most successful. When you arrive, a team member greets you by name, shakes your hand, and walks you back personally. From that moment forward, you're passed carefully from one team member to the next, each one prepared and informed, so you never feel like you're starting over or slipping through the cracks. The team calls it the "fragile egg" mindset, and it shows in every detail.

The office itself is warm and inviting, designed to feel more like a home than a dental practice. Operatories are equipped with TVs and music to keep you comfortable, and stress balls are always within reach if nerves creep in. Sedation options, including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV and general anesthesia, are available for patients who need extra support. The team also goes out of its way to acknowledge the moments that matter outside the office, sending handwritten get-well cards, wedding cards, and sympathy cards signed by the entire staff. Every November, patients receive the practice's signature Thanksgiving card, a team photo that arrives before anyone else's holiday mail. And if you ever wait more than five minutes, you'll leave with a Starbucks gift card, because your time matters here.

Comprehensive care under one roof, from same-day crowns to full-arch implants

Creekwood Dental Arts is built to handle more than a typical general dentistry practice. Dr. Green leads the surgical side, performing dental implants, All-on-X full-arch restorations, and complex full mouth reconstructions entirely in-house, including both implant placement and the final prosthesis. For larger cases, the practice brings in an anesthesiologist to ensure patient comfort, and a dedicated surgical suite supports the most involved procedures. The practice is also known throughout the Waco dental community as the "fix it dentist to the specialist," meaning other providers send their most complex cases here because Creekwood figures it out. Technology plays a central role in that reputation: CBCT imaging, XNav guided implants, iCam photogrammetry, AI radiographs, intraoral scanners, and a Biolase Water Laser all support precise, predictable outcomes. Same-day crowns are milled right in the office using a Trios scanner and the Glidewell Fastmill.io system.

Beyond implants and restorations, the practice offers ClearCorrect clear aligners and traditional braces for teens and adults, airway dentistry and oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea, and a full range of cosmetic services including veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers. Two niche areas set Creekwood further apart: infant frenectomies for newborns with nursing and feeding concerns, performed with the Biolase Water Laser and coordinated alongside lactation consultants and chiropractors, and in-office myofunctional therapy through a licensed myofunctional therapist who is also cross-trained as a hygienist. Whether you're coming in for a routine cleaning or a complete smile transformation, the Creekwood team is equipped to meet you where you're at and walk you through every step with clear communication and no surprises.
