I've been seeing Dr. Adrian Bernal at East Austin Dental for about eight years, and I can't…read morerecommend him and his team enough. Most recently, I had an unexpected dental emergency involving a salivary gland infection. Dr. Bernal was able to get me in quickly, thoroughly evaluate the issue, and help relieve the pressure by draining the infected gland. What could have been a stressful experience was handled with professionalism, skill, and genuine care. Throughout the years, Dr. Bernal has always taken the time to explain things clearly, answer questions, and make me feel comfortable in the chair. His entire team is friendly, welcoming, and consistently provides excellent care. If you're looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly looks out for his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Bernal and the team at East Austin Dental.

Duyen is a wonderful hygienist, gentle and non-judgmental about my terrible flossing. I'm lucky to not have any major issues but my wife recently had to have an old crown replaced (put in by her family dentist back in CA) and she was very happy with their work. These guys are honest and old school (but tech-forward where it makes sense). No unnecessary upselling or over-treatment, which I appreciate.

What I also love is how easy they make communication. I can schedule appointments and ask questions via text or email instead of having to call in which is a huge plus for me. The staff and my doctor Dr. Soomar are all professional and patient, taking their time to answer all my questions without making me feel rushed. They didn't pressure me into scheduling the additional treatments they recommended, which I really appreciate. When I needed a night guard for my grinding issue, they helped me navigate the insurance reimbursement process. Their in-office system is very systemic. The team pages each other to coordinate patient flow, and you can tell they have their processes down to a science. It has a polished, corporate feel but without losing the personal touch. Plus, who doesn't love leaving with a goody bag? Highly recommend Forest Family Dentistry if you're looking for a dental practice that combines great care with modern convenience!

Do I really have cavities or do you just want me to pay for a filling? I'm not saying dentists should run non-profit businesses, but they also shouldn't be running a scam either. Rest assured Dr Necker and his staff have a great office that will make you feel comfortable and will keep your teeth nice and healthy! I made my first appointment for an exam and cleaning with Dr. Necker and I am so happy I can cross "finding a dentist in Austin" off my list. I actually enjoyed my visit at this dentist office. Dr. Necker is the NICEST man ever. He reminded me to wear my retainer and to floss more, but in the nicest way possible. All of his staff were incredibly friendly as well. The hygienist explained everything before she worked on my mouth, which made me feel very comfortable during the appointment. One other plus for me is the convenient location to my place in East Austin. It's near the HEB on 7th street and there is plenty of parking. if you're looking for a dentist or are unhappy with your current one I would highly recommend Dr. Necker and Central Family Dental Center.

My first visit to Walton dentistry was fantastic. The hygienist was super nice. I have mild sleep apnea and grind my teeth at night so I was interested in a mouth guard.

When Dr. Walton came in, he also talked to me about options and things I could try to help with my grinding and sleep issues. They were so caring. Unfortunately, I had a cavity so I had to visit again. Once again, they made sure I was as comfortable as possible. I even got to watch Netflix with headphones. I am so happy to have found them.

They have such cool technology that really gives me an in depth overview of my oral health. The only thing I would recommend is if they played music in the lobby or something.

This review is long because it reflects many months of treatment and ongoing consequences. I took…read moretime to write it because I genuinely wanted to believe this practice was competent and cared about its patients. Unfortunately, my experience showed the opposite. When I first came in, my teeth were not in good shape. I had not been to the dentist in years and knew I would need significant work, including fillings, a crown, and likely a root canal. Because of this, I specifically asked to be seen by an experienced dentist. Instead, I was scheduled with Dr. Biggs, who according to the practice's own website had graduated only nine months earlier. The work she performed caused lasting damage. Nearly a year ago, I received two fillings on my upper left teeth. To this day, I cannot chew on that side due to severe pain. For months, the only solution offered was repeated bite adjustments, filing the fillings down multiple times with no meaningful investigation into the cause of the pain. After seeking multiple second opinions and transferring my full dental records, including before and after imaging, I was told by other dentists that the fillings were not done properly and likely caused nerve damage. This assessment was consistent across providers and aligned with the ongoing pain I have experienced since those fillings were placed. During a later visit for a cleaning on the lower half of my jaw, the hygienist was unavailable and Dr. Biggs performed the cleaning herself. During that appointment, she broke my permanent retainer. I felt it happen immediately and she was visibly startled. The dental assistant in the room, Ana, attempted to dismiss it and insisted it had already been broken, which was not true. She continued to tell me that permanent retainers are meant to break, which is false, and tried to deflect the situation with jokes despite how uncomfortable I clearly was. To Dr. Biggs' credit, she did take accountability in the moment. She temporarily sealed the retainer and personally walked me to the front desk, stating it needed to be fixed. However, there was no follow up, no resolution, and I later learned the practice does not even provide that service. It became clear the situation was being minimized rather than addressed. I continued treatment but requested a different dentist and was seen by Dr. Blythe. While she was kind and clearly more experienced, she was dismissive of the pain I repeatedly reported from the earlier fillings. During my crown preparation, she discovered I needed a root canal. That crown preparation left me severely swollen, bruised, and bleeding for three days. I was sent home without pain medication or antibiotics and was only prescribed medication after calling back to explain how much pain I was in. During these appointments, the same dental assistant was extremely rough, repeatedly pushing the suction tube against my jaw and inner cheek. This behavior was again brushed off as normal. The endodontist this practice referred me to was alarmed by the condition of my jaw. She was shocked that I had not been prescribed antibiotics or adequate pain management and told me that was not normal. Because of the swelling and inflammation, anesthesia did not work and the root canal had to be postponed. She prescribed antibiotics immediately. At that point, I was in constant pain, missing work, and emotionally exhausted. I sought another endodontist recommended by a friend, who reviewed my records and again confirmed that what I experienced was not normal or acceptable care. Despite this, I had no choice but to return to the original practice because the crown preparation was already done and insurance would not cover starting over elsewhere. When I relayed what the specialists had said, it was minimized once again. The crown I currently have remains painful and requires further evaluation. Afterward, I received repeated calls reminding me to complete additional work and warning me not to miss out on insurance benefits. Each time I explained why I would not be returning. Each time I was told the office manager would follow up. That never happened. The priority was clearly revenue, not accountability or patient safety. Eventually, I was offered a removable night retainer instead of a permanent replacement. By that point, after months of pain and stress, I was done. I have since obtained multiple independent opinions, all of which confirmed that what I experienced was not appropriate care. I spent significant money only to be left in pain and forced to redo work that should have been done correctly the first time. These high volume clinics prioritize profit over patients. If you value quality, accountability, and long term health, go elsewhere. I wish someone had warned me.

I've been seeing Dr. Labombard for 7+ years and he is by far my favorite dentist I've ever had. His knowledge and willingness to share with me what's going on with my teeth has been incredible.

I'd go to a different practice for a second opinion and have fillings recommended to me too - but of different teeth from what the first practice recommended! Extractions, gum work, all kinds of additional procedures were suggested to me with the underlying threat that if I ignored their advice, I was neglecting my health. Enter Dr. LaBombard and Airport Dental. In 5 years he's only once told me I've needed a filling, and I have had zero issues with pain or infections so I don't think he is undertreating me. My wife, who takes meticulous care of her teeth, also used to regularly have fillings recommended at other practices. At Airport Dental she's had no such issues. The office is clean, quiet, and well-lit but it does not have the spa appearance (or location) of other offices in town. But I'd suggest you ask yourself where those fancy offices are getting their money from. The hygienists are all great too and everyone in the office seems to get along. I've had multiple hygienists work on my chronically tea-stained teeth and they've all been great but Dillon has deft hands and the patience of a saint. Ethical, kind, straightforward are probably the 3 adjectives that best describe this practice. If Dr. LaBombard and co. ever move or close down I will probably give up on dentists.
