Warm, comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages. Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Carter bring genuine warmth and clinical expertise to every appointment at our South Austin practice.
At Riverside Family Dentistry, we have built something that feels genuinely different. A practice where the front desk knows your name, your doctor remembers what you talked about last time, and no one ever rushes you through an appointment.
Dr. James Mitchell and Dr. Michael Carter founded this practice because they wanted to practice dentistry the right way. Comprehensive, honest, unhurried, and delivered with genuine warmth. That is still how we operate, every single day.
From your child's very first cleaning to complete smile makeovers, we handle every stage of dental health at our South Austin practice.
Exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and preventive care for patients of all ages. The foundation of a lifetime of healthy smiles starts here.
Whitening, veneers, bonding, and full smile makeovers. Look and feel your best with cosmetic care that fits your goals and your budget.
Permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement that restores your bite, your confidence, and your quality of life for decades to come.
Straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires. Invisalign fits your life, your schedule, and your smile goals at every age.
Toothache, broken tooth, lost crown? We prioritize same-day emergency appointments. Call us first and we will get you in as soon as possible.
Gentle, kid-friendly care that makes dental visits a positive experience. We love seeing children grow up with healthy smiles in our practice.
We have built our practice around the things that actually make a difference to patients.
No rotating staff, no starting over. Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Carter know your history, your concerns, and your family by name.
We run on schedule. Our team is built to keep appointments on time without ever rushing your care or making you feel hurried.
Digital X-rays, same-day crowns, and advanced imaging mean more accurate diagnoses and genuinely more comfortable treatments.
Nervous about the dentist? You are not alone. We offer sedation options and take all the time you need to feel genuinely comfortable.
Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Carter founded Riverside Family Dentistry on a simple belief: patients deserve a dental home where they feel genuinely cared for.
Dr. Mitchell has been practicing dentistry in Austin for over twelve years. He completed his dental training at the University of Texas Health Science Center and went on to complete advanced training in cosmetic and restorative dentistry. He is known among patients for his calm, unhurried approach and his ability to put even the most anxious patients at ease.
Dr. Carter grew up in Central Texas and always planned to bring his dental career back to Austin. After completing his degree at Baylor College of Dentistry, he joined Dr. Mitchell to co-found Riverside Family Dentistry. Dr. Carter specializes in restorative dentistry and particularly enjoys working with families, including children on their very first dental visit.
Schedule through our website any time, or call during office hours. Same-week appointments are usually available for new patients.
We send digital intake forms ahead of your appointment. No clipboards in the waiting room, no paperwork on arrival.
Your first visit includes a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and a full cleaning. We take time to understand your history and your goals.
Before you go, we review everything, explain any recommended treatment in plain language, and answer every single question you have.
"I have been to a lot of dentists and this is genuinely the best experience I have ever had. Dr. Mitchell took time to explain everything, the office is beautiful, and I left feeling completely taken care of. My whole family is switching."
"I had serious dental anxiety before coming here. Dr. Carter was incredibly patient, never made me feel rushed, and walked me through every step. I actually look forward to my appointments now, which I never thought I would say."
"Brought my six year old for his first dental visit and he left excited to come back. The whole team was warm, patient, and made it a completely happy experience. Cannot recommend this practice enough to Austin families."
Cost should never stand between you and healthy teeth. We accept a wide range of insurance plans and offer flexible payment options for patients who need them.
