Dentistry That Listens First, Heals Deeply, and Lasts for Generations

At 12 Oaks Integrative Dentistry, our story is rooted in one belief: listening changes lives. For more than 40 years, families in Austin have trusted us because we see more than teeth—we see the whole person, their story, and their health.

Dr. Marc Worob
– A Legacy of Listening

In 1979, with one chair in a converted storage closet, Dr. Marc Worob began his practice with a simple promise: spend time with patients, listen to their stories, and deliver care with honesty and excellence.
Over four decades later, that same philosophy guides 12 Oaks Integrative Dentistry. Patients return because they know they are seen as people, not procedures. Dr. Worob’s legacy is a steady commitment to doing what is right and never stopping the pursuit of better care.

Dr. Elyse Barron
– A Future in Full View

Dr. Elyse Barron became a dentist not to fix teeth but to help people feel better. With a background in research and a passion for solving challenges, she brings curiosity, empathy, and innovation to every patient encounter.

To be Austin’s most trusted dental wellness center, where clinical excellence and human connection come together to transform lives.
To provide relationship based, science-guided care that empowers people to live healthier lifestyles.
