Russell D Cunningham, DDS, MD

If you need any type of oral surgery, go here! Dr. Cunningham is terrific, not to mention extremely competent and personable. He heads a staff of very compassionate and efficient professionals. For me, it just doesn’t get any better than this team.

Dr. Cunningham and his staff are miracle workers. As a result of a motor vehicle accident I had several years ago, I have been only able to open my mouth less than 6 mm. Dr. Cunningham and his practice served as an advocate throughout the insurance approval process and kept me informed throughout the complex medical review and approval. He also recommended the best advanced prosthodontic dentist in this area to add to my care team.
The complicated surgery was a successful repair of the area surrounding TMJ implants. Throughout my recovery, Dr. Cunningham made himself readily available if I had any questions. On every visit to his office, each person on his staff was friendly, professional, and expressed genuine concern about my well being and recovery. Subsequent to the jaw repair, he also implanted anchoring screws in my upper jaw that is enabling me to have the full upper bridge replacement that has completely changed my quality of life.
I can now open my mouth to nearly 30 mm. A result that I could only dream about!
He and his staff are the absolute best.

Dr. Cunningham was just fantastic. I went in for wisdom tooth extraction on all four teeth. He and his staff made me feel very at ease. They did the consult and the procedure in one visit, and it only took 1 hour total. They also got me within a week.
My pain has been very minimal. They too great care of me!

Dr. Cunningham is awesome. I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. My two bottom teeth were fully impacted. I was in his chair 15 minutes and it was over. I highly recommend him if you need any kind of extraction. I live 35 minutes from lakeway but it’s definitely worth the drive to go to Dr.Cunningham. HE Is the BEST!!!

Top notch practice, not far from home. The office is clean, in a nice area and easy to locate. Dr. Cunningham is extremely compassionate. I’ve been in his office twice. First for a consultation, and Friday I had my wisdom teeth extracted. I can’t even remember what happened after I sat in the chair! The assistants are great as well, very kind and remember personal details. I was escorted to our car with my husband (and driver) after surgery, and headed home. It’s almost been 4 days now, and although I’m still experiencing a bit of discomfort along my bottom jaw, I’m much, much better than I expected! I did not require stitches, hardly bled and the pain has been completely bearable. Being a 33 year old female with an autoimmune disease, I consider this oral surgery a definite success!

I recently had a tooth extracted, bone graft, sinus lift and am currently waiting to have a dental implant put in. I would just like to say that Dr Cunningham and his staff have provided a professional and positive experience for something that one would rather not have to go through. Besides the job well done, Dr Cunningham extends a very friendly and caring attitude and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing any dental surgery.

I would give Russel D. Cunningham, DDS, MD., and James C. Fuselier, DDS., 10 STARS If the review system allowed me to do so. Truly exceptional and professional services. Each and every support staff member and both doctors provided me flawless, expert, and effective comprehensive medical services. I have been a patient of Russell Cunningham, DDS., MD., for approximately two years and have used his services over 5 visits. Each and every visit impressed me more than the previous one. The clinic in Lakeway is clean, orderly, and peaceful. The support staff immediately welcomes you, recognizes you, and acknowledges you. My scheduled appointment times were all met promptly. Russel D. Cunningham, DDS, MD., is truly a genuine and caring individual. Under his care, I felt I was walking into my private clinic. He looks into your eyes, listens to your issues and concerns intently, provides you with his professional assessment, and offers you several options. As he is performing the dental work, he informs you of every step and constantly inquires about your comfort level. You actually look forward to your next visit. Really. And he is a dentist!!!
The same assessment is true about his other clinic on 2501 S. William-​Cannon. I saw James C. Fuselier, DDS., after I developed some pain and a mild inflamation, and Russel D. Cunningham, DDS, MD., was out of town. What a sincere, kind, professional individual. The type of individual that you would want to befriend. I received the exact same level of expert advice, professional delivery of all medical services, and incredible personal attention and concern for my well being. I am tempted to schedule another appointment with James just so we could talk about international travels and cuisines!!!
I have used the services of several physicians and dentists throughout my adult life. I can state without any hesitation that both James C. Fuselier, DDS., and Russel D. Cunningham, DDS, MD., could serve as a national model of what genuine professional and effective services should be like. I am so impressed!!!

Dr. Russell Cunningham and his staff are a rare find! My daughter had a «complicated» wisdom teeth extraction according to dentists from Beverly Hills, CA to New York that no one wanted to take on when coupled with a bleeding disorder and chronic Lyme disease. It was such a relief to meet with Dr. Cunningham and be immediately assured, and have all worries put to rest. The surgery went incredibly well with minimal recovery time. My daughter and I have both been absolutely impressed by him, as well as his wonderful office staff. His office will get you in and out on time with hardly any waiting time at all, and work with your insurance to get you the lowest prices possible. We live in San Antonio, and are happy to make the drive up to Lakeway (2 hrs drive) to see Dr. Cunningham for any dental issues that arise! Wish we could give a 6^th star… :)
As a physician, I’m recommending Dr. Cunningham not only to my family and friends, but to any patient — especially those with complicated medical problems. Texas is lucky to have him!

I had my consultation early this year and plan to have my tooth extraction done by this year. I had forgotten to make appointment until two week before Christmas. The office told me that most of time slot is full due to year end when I called but the admin was so great, she able help me to find a free time slot on 4 days before Christmas.
The surgery process start after 5 minutes when I arrived and it was done about 30 minutes for removing 5 teeth. The surgery went smoothly. I felt very comfortable and treated well throughout the process. The doctor and staff are very professional and attentive. They provided face Ice pad and Syringe [My friend told me that I need to have these but I don’t know where to get it]. Using Syringe after 5 days is must. The Syringe will be your buddy for couple weeks if you have your wisdom teeth remove.
I think Dr Russell did excellent job on stitching up the opening. My recover phase is much better than what I expected and not as bad as what I heard from other. I realized that it was poor planning on my side to have this kind surgery right before the holiday. Anyway, I’m pleased that everything turns out fine and I still able to have my christmas brunch and dinner with my family and friends .
I’m glad that I found the right place for my oral surgery. By the way, the cost is reasonable and not expensive.

Two trusted dentists recommended Dr. Cunningham for my oral surgery, and I am so thankful for their recommendation.
He and his team were caring, personable, efficient and professional.
The sedation used enabled me to have a completely pain and trauma free tooth extraction and dental implantation.
As a psychotherapist who works with clients facing fears about medical procedures, I am glad I know someone serving Lakeway and Marble Falls that I can personally recommend.

While dental surgery is not something we generally look forward to, I have had nothing but painless and quite pleasant experiences with Dr. Cunningham and the staff at the office. Everything was very well explained during the initial consultation process. My two different procedures were performed several years apart and the service was identical both times; Excellent and clear consultations, and the same during the procedures themselves. Highly recommended.
