Auburn Dental provides general dental services to patients on the inner west side of San Antonio from its office at Suite D, 1123 Babcock Road, San Antonio, TX 78201. Babcock Road in the 78201 zip code runs through the inner west side of San Antonio — a working-class residential area just west of downtown SA — accessible for patients from across the Prospect Hill-adjacent, Avenida Guadalupe, and inner west 78201 community.
The inner west side of San Antonio is home to an established, predominantly Hispanic working-class community with a strong neighborhood identity and deep roots in the city's history. Auburn Dental provides general dental care to this community, where neighborhood dental practices play an important role in delivering preventive and restorative care to patients who may have deferred treatment due to cost concerns or scheduling barriers.
Comprehensive oral examinations evaluate tooth structure, gum tissue health, bite alignment, and the condition of any existing restorations, providing a thorough clinical picture that guides each patient's care plan. Professional cleanings remove the calculus and plaque deposits that accumulate on tooth surfaces and below the gumline between visits, reducing the bacterial load that drives gum disease and cavity formation. For patients with active decay, Auburn Dental provides composite resin fillings that restore tooth integrity with a natural appearance. Dental crowns address more significantly damaged teeth, and extractions are performed when preservation is not feasible.
Babcock Road at 1123 on the inner west side of San Antonio is served by VIA Metropolitan Transit bus routes connecting the inner west side to downtown SA, and is accessible from the Culebra Road and Bandera Road corridors. Auburn Dental is a general dental resource for the inner west San Antonio 78201 community.

Dr. Cerna is very nice and caring. The Office Staff is friendly. I feel very comfortable with Dr. Cerna and her staff.
I am not quite sure how many years we have seen Dr. Cerna and amazing staff…I think around 15 yrs. My wife and I come down from New Braunfels because we can’t imagine anyone else having the same compassion, knowledge, and skill.
My experience with Dr Shannon Cerna is always good and she takes care when it comes to no pain.
Very prompt and thorough!

Her staff is the best when it comes to friendliness. They are very knowledgeable and they have excellent customer service skills. I highly recommend Dr. Shannon Savage-Cerna with Auburn Dental.

My first time and the staff/assistants along with my doctor is amazing! They were so kind and really listened to me. They were concerned with my dental care needs. This is my home place now for all my dental care. Lisa is the best!!
I have been a patient of Dr. Shannon Cerna's for over 30 years, and the care has been nothing short of phenomenal. Her staff are consistently kind, efficient, and outstanding — they make every visit comfortable and stress-free. I’ve had the privilege of seeing Dr. Cerna’s journey from working as a dental hygienist to put herself through dental school, to becoming the trusted dentist I’ve relied on for decades. Over the years, we’ve watched each other’s kids grow up, and that sense of community and personal connection shines through in the way she runs her practice. The quality of care here is exceptional — professional, thorough, and always patient-centered. I can’t imagine trusting my dental health to anyone else. If you’re looking for a dentist who combines top-notch expertise with genuine care, Dr. Shannon and her team are the very best.
Dr. Shannon is the best dentist in SanAntonio. She is honest and does the best dental work I have received for several years. I highly recommend her to relatives and friends. Her staff is also great and outstanding will always return phones calls and is helpful and friendly.
This was my initial visit with Dr. Cerna and found the professionalism to excellent and a very friendly environment. Yolanda was very welcoming and informative during the initial X-rays and description of the process. They were able to get my cleaning done on the same visit, instead of making another appointment. Will be seeing them again with no doubts.
