Convenient Access from Buttercup Creek
Summer afternoons at the Buttercup Creek Pool on Twin Oaks Trail usually end with damp towels in the back seat and an argument over who showers first. When that same family needs a dentist near Buttercup Creek, Cypress Creek Family Dentistry is a 5-minute drive away in Cedar Park. Our practice has looked after neighbors on the west side of town for more than 25 years. We see toddlers for their very first checkup and grandparents for their crowns, often on the same calendar.
From the pool, follow Twin Oaks Trail to Buttercup Creek Blvd, pick up Cluck Creek Trail heading south, then turn west onto Cypress Creek Rd. Sun Chase Blvd comes up quickly on the right, and the whole 2.4-mile trip stays on neighborhood streets with no highway merge at all. You will find us at 2000 Sun Chase Blvd Suite A, Cedar Park, TX 78613, right beside Elizabeth Milburn Park and a short way down the street from Cedar Park Middle School. Pull up our office in Google Maps for turn-by-turn help, and know that families in Lakeline and Twin Creeks make a similarly short trip.
Why Buttercup Creek Households Fit Right In Here
Buttercup Creek is a family neighborhood with a long memory. Some streets hold homes built in the 1980s, while others carry much newer construction, and nature preserves wrap around much of the area. The Buttercup Creek Cave Preserve sits on the west side, and Nelson Ranch Park gives kids another patch of green beyond the city-run Buttercup Creek Pool. The creek that lends the area its name still winds through west Cedar Park, and in the 1960s and '70s it was dammed to form Twin Lakes and a park.
That blend of longtime owners and young parents is exactly who we serve every day. One family can keep everyone's records in one place, book siblings back to back, and see the same faces year after year. A parent who first came to us decades ago might now bring a toddler, and the team in the room already knows the family.
Weekday rhythm matters here too. The neighborhood sits in Leander ISD territory, so school calendars shape when a cleaning actually fits. Our doors open at 8 AM Monday through Friday, which lets a parent handle an early visit and still make the morning drop-off line or the office.
Weekends around here tend to be busy and outdoors. Lakeline Park, the 200-acre city park on Alexis Dr, has 3 miles of trails, a kayak launch and a fishing pier, and it is a short drive from most front doors. Scooters, trail bikes and paddles are wonderful for kids, but they are also a common way for a front tooth to get chipped. Knowing a dental office is close by takes some of the worry out of a busy week of practices and play dates.
What Buttercup Creek Parents Ask Us Most About Their Kids' Teeth
Earlier is easier. Pediatric dentistry at our office starts with children as young as one year old, and Dr. Jennifer Hoppe recommends that first visit happen by the first birthday. After that, a checkup every six months keeps small problems small. Families with little ones at the Ada Mae Faubion School for Early Childhood on Cypress Creek Rd are already used to that kind of routine.
First visits stay simple and pressure-free on purpose. A one-year-old might only sit on a parent's lap for a quick look and a count of teeth. Older children and teens may get a full exam, digital x-rays and a cleaning, and our digital x-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film.
Teenagers bring a different set of worries, usually about how their smile looks in photos. Clear aligners straighten teeth without metal brackets, and we plan those cases with iTero digital scanning, which captures a 3D image instead of a mouthful of impression putty. A teen who plays a contact sport should also come in quickly after any hard hit to the mouth, even if nothing looks broken.
Some kids tense up the moment they see the chair, and that is normal. For anxious patients we offer nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, which helps many children and adults relax through a filling. A calmer visit today tends to make the next one easier for everybody.
If your household is between insurance plans, new patients without insurance can start with our $49 Cleaning, Exam & X-Ray, available in the absence of periodontal (gum) disease. It is a straightforward way for a parent to get a baseline before booking the rest of the family.
Parents tend to put their own care last, and that is when bleeding gums or an old filling quietly get worse. A cleaning for you can go on the calendar right after your child's, in the same chair, with the same hygienist. If something bigger turns up, Dr. Christopher Hoppe has long working relationships with dental specialists, so any referral is coordinated rather than handed off cold.
What a Dentist Near Buttercup Creek Can Handle Under One Roof
Family Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and fillings for every age in the house, so one parent can book three kids in a row. Fewer separate trips means fewer missed afternoons at the pool.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide helps nervous children, and plenty of nervous parents, settle in for treatment. That way a routine filling does not turn into a family ordeal.
Emergency Dentistry
A chipped tooth from a bike ride on Buttercup Creek Blvd should not wait a week. We offer same-day care when possible, and new patients receive a complimentary emergency exam and x-ray.
Invisalign®
Clear aligners are a popular option for teens and parents who want straighter teeth without brackets. New patients can start with a free Invisalign consultation.
Restorative Dentistry
Crowns, bridges and fillings repair the wear that years of family life leave behind. Grandparents visiting from out of town are welcome on the same schedule as the kids.
Most families start with one cleaning and add everyone else once they see how the office runs. Siblings can usually be booked back to back, which keeps the visit to a single trip down Cypress Creek Rd instead of three. Records for every family member live in one chart, so allergies, past x-rays and treatment notes follow each person from toddler years through high school graduation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Cypress Creek Family Dentistry from Buttercup Creek, and how do I get there?
The office is about 2.4 miles from Buttercup Creek Park & Pool, roughly a 5-minute drive. Take Twin Oaks Trail, Buttercup Creek Blvd and Cluck Creek Trail to Cypress Creek Rd, then turn onto Sun Chase Blvd. For anyone wanting a dentist near Buttercup Creek without a highway in the way, the whole trip is on neighborhood streets.
Is Buttercup Creek inside Cedar Park city limits?
Yes, Buttercup Creek lies inside the City of Cedar Park, in Williamson County. That makes our Sun Chase Blvd office a true across-town neighbor rather than a trip into another city. Cypress Creek Rd connects the neighborhood to the office on one side and to Bell Blvd on the other.
How close is the office to Cedar Park Middle School?
Very close: Cedar Park Middle School sits at 2100 Sun Chase Blvd, about 0.3 miles from our door on the same street. Cedar Park High School is roughly half a mile away on Cypress Creek Rd. Parents often pair a checkup with a pickup, since both campuses are only minutes from the chair.
What is there for siblings to do at Elizabeth Milburn Park during an appointment?
Plenty, because the city park next door has a playscape, a 1-mile trail, a BMX pump track and covered basketball courts. In warm months its aquatics facility adds a 120-foot slide and a water playground. One parent can stay with a patient while another keeps brothers and sisters busy outdoors.
Is Buttercup Creek named after an actual creek?
Yes, it is a real waterway that winds through west Cedar Park, and the neighborhood takes its name from it. In the 1960s and '70s the creek was dammed to form Twin Lakes and a park. Today the cave preserve and greenbelts along its course give the area much of its green, wooded feel.
