Franklin Samuel Bonasso

Oral surgery covers more than just wisdom teeth. Franklin Samuel Bonasso handles the full scope of maxillofacial procedures, from complex extractions to corrective jaw surgery. Their practice addresses issues that general dentists typically refer out—impacted canines, facial trauma reconstruction, even TMJ disorders that don’t respond to conservative treatment. It’s the kind of specialty care that bridges dental work and medical surgery, which explains why they’re based in a professional building near UT’s Dell Medical District.

The office sits at 3200 Red River St #400, a stretch of Austin where medical offices outnumber coffee shops. This isn’t the place for routine cleanings or fillings; they deal with cases that require deeper expertise, like bone grafting for dental implants or biopsy evaluations for suspicious oral lesions. Referrals often come from dentists across Central Texas, though patients with acute needs—say, a fractured jaw after an accident—might arrive directly.

Logistics are straightforward: questions about procedures or post-op protocols can be directed to (512) 320-1640. The practice doesn’t advertise walk-in availability, which makes sense given the nature of the work. Most visits begin with a consult, whether it’s to map out wisdom tooth removal or discuss options for congenital facial asymmetries. They’re one of the few local providers equipped to manage IV sedation in-office, a detail that matters when you’re talking about multi-hour surgeries.

Finding the suite is easiest via the building’s map listing—look for the red-brick tower near 32nd Street. If you’re coming from downtown, Red River’s one-way traffic can be confusing, so it’s worth checking the route ahead of time. This isn’t the kind of place you stumble into by accident, and that’s probably for the best.
