Kick‑off 2026 by prioritizing your oral health
A new year is a great time to refresh routines, set goals and invest in yourself. Among the most impactful resolutions is taking care of your smile. Whether you call Georgetown home or commute to North Austin, Hammons Family Dental makes it simple to turn dental wellness into a habit. Our conveniently located practices offer comprehensive care for every member of the family, and our experienced team is here to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile.
In this guide we’ll highlight a few services that can jump‑start your oral health journey—anchoring them to their respective pages on our site so you can learn more. We’ll also introduce you to Dr. Travis Hammons, whose dedication and expertise have made our office a trusted dental home for the Georgetown and North Austin communities.
Keep your resolutions with routine care
The foundation of every great smile is preventive care. Our general dentistry team believes that regular exams and cleanings form the cornerstone of long‑term oral health. Serving patients from Georgetown and North Austin, we build our practice on a foundation of preventive care that helps individuals of all ages maintain excellent oral health. By catching problems early, we can often treat them with minimally invasive care—saving you time, money and discomfort down the road.
During each check‑up, our Georgetown dentist and North Austin dentist carefully evaluate your teeth, gums and bite for early signs of decay, gum disease or enamel erosion. Professional cleanings go far beyond a quick polish; our skilled hygienists remove plaque and tartar where toothbrushes can’t reach, helping prevent cavities and keep your smile bright. We also provide personalized guidance on home care, from brushing and flossing techniques to choosing products that suit your unique needs.
If you’ve been putting off regular visits, January is the perfect time to schedule an appointment. Use our Georgetown location page or North Austin location page to find hours, directions and contact information.
Ease anxiety with sedation dentistry
Dental visits shouldn’t be stressful. At Hammons Family Dental, we offer sedation dentistry to help patients in Georgetown and North Austin feel calm and comfortable. Sedation dentistry uses safe, proven medication to ease dental anxiety and create a stress‑free experience. Our team offers two trusted methods—nitrous oxide and oral sedation—so you can remain awake yet deeply relaxed throughout your visit.
Sedation is particularly beneficial if you have moderate dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, limited time for multiple appointments or a low pain tolerance. Even routine cleanings can feel intimidating when you’re nervous; sedation helps you stay on track with preventive care. We’ll discuss your history and recommend the best option so that fear never keeps you from getting the care you need.
Restore missing teeth with dental implants
If tooth loss has affected your confidence or ability to chew, consider dental implants. Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard in modern restorative dentistry. Our implant dentists in Georgetown and North Austin use state‑of‑the‑art technology to restore natural appearance, improve function and support long‑term oral health.
An implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial root. Once healed, it can be topped with a custom crown, bridge or denture. Because it fuses with bone through osseointegration, an implant offers exceptional strength and stability compared with traditional bridges or dentures. Implants restore function, help preserve jawbone and can last for decades with proper care. If you’re wondering whether you’re a candidate, our team will evaluate your oral health, bone density and overall medical history and discuss options such as bone grafts or implant‑supported dentures for more complex cases.
Brighten your smile with cosmetic dentistry
Maybe your resolution involves feeling more confident in photos or meetings. Our cosmetic dentistry services can help you achieve that goal. Professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile by several shades in as little as an hour. Unlike over‑the‑counter products—which often deliver inconsistent results and can cause sensitivity—our treatments are formulated for efficacy and safety.
We offer in‑office whitening for fast, dramatic results and custom take‑home kits for gradual improvements. Many patients choose a combination approach, starting with an in‑office session and using take‑home trays to maintain brightness. Whichever you choose, our team will monitor your progress and tailor your treatment to minimize sensitivity and maximize results.
Meet Dr. Travis Hammons
Our practice is led by Dr. Travis Hammons, who has served the Austin area for over 15 years. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific in 2006 and spent two years providing dental care to servicemen and women in Germany before a 15‑month tour in Iraq. Dr. Hammons’ broad experience—ranging from implants and surgery to cosmetic smile design—allows him to deliver comprehensive, meticulous care. Today he’s a proud family man who enjoys biking and adventure sports, and he brings that same passion for life into creating beautiful, healthy smiles.
