auto-syncedRoot Jim DDS is a general dentistry practice located at 3701 Guadalupe Street in the Hyde Park and University of Texas neighborhood of Austin, Texas. The practice occupies a location along Guadalupe—a central north Austin corridor—and serves patients in the surrounding 78705 zip code and nearby areas including West Campus and Brentwood.
General dental care at this practice follows a preventive-first approach. Routine examinations and professional cleanings allow the dentist to monitor tooth and gum health over time, catching early signs of decay or periodontal disease before they progress into more involved treatment needs that would otherwise require referral to a specialist.
In addition to preventive visits, the practice addresses restorative dental needs. Fillings, tooth extractions, and basic restorative procedures are part of the general dentistry scope, allowing patients to manage common dental issues without a specialist referral in many cases. The dentist handles both the diagnosis and the routine restorative phase during regular care appointments.
New patients visiting Root Jim DDS for the first time can expect a comprehensive exam that documents their current oral health status. The dentist reviews existing dental work, assesses gum condition, and discusses any concerns the patient brings to the visit before outlining a care plan and a recommended recall schedule for future appointments.
The Guadalupe Street location in the 78705 zip code places the practice close to the UT Austin campus, Hyde Park, and North University neighborhoods. Patients from these areas, as well as nearby Brentwood and North Loop, can reach the office along this well-connected central corridor.
Guadalupe Street’s proximity to the university and surrounding residential districts means the practice draws a diverse patient base ranging from students and young professionals to long-term residents of Hyde Park and Brentwood. Regular working hours and a central location make routine dental appointments manageable for this community.
Root Jim DDS is available by phone and welcomes new patients. Those looking for a general dentist near the University of Texas area or along North Guadalupe Street in Austin are encouraged to contact the practice directly to schedule a convenient appointment.

I don't think Dr. Root even needs my good review because his outstanding office and the work he does speaks for itself, but I want to add another drop to the sea of good experiences out there. I have seen Dr. Root for as long as I can remember, since I was a little kid. I trust him completely and if he told me I needed anything done on my teeth I would trust his opinion with no question. He is so honest and is conservative with his treatment where possible rather than jumping the gun on dental work. I really get the impression that he values the function and capability of a healthy tooth and does everything he can to keep a natural tooth healthy for as long as possible. He also truly cares about his patients and takes the time to build a relationship with you and know you. It's clear he cares about the people he treats! On top of that, his office staff and hygienists are fantastic. If you're looking for a dental office that is top notch in every aspect, go see Dr. Root!
Best dentist in town!! Thanks Dr.Root :-)
I've been going to Dr. Root for over 10 years now. I couldn't be happier with him. He and his staff are the BEST! I'm not one to be scared of the dentist but if you are, he is the one to go to. He and his staff(every single one of them) really know how to put you at ease. If you are looking for the best dentist around, check out Dr. Root!
I've always been very happy with this dentist, office, and staff
Such a comfortable office and excellent dental care. Thank you all!!
Excellent service. I truly felt cared about and taken care of. I would recommend this place to anyone who has anxiety about the dentist. To top it off, there is a sweet pup there to greet you at the front.
A great dentist and staff. I'm ordinarily pretty scared of having anyone messing with my teeth, but he and his staff know how to do the work painlessly and how to decrease anxiety. If you are a big baby like I am, this is the place to go.
