I found Dr. Cantu through glowing recommendations on NextDoor. This is not your old school dentist. Scheduling was a breeze - you can schedule appointments online and view all appointments that are available. You can also complete new patient paperwork and the health history paperwork online as well. They run your insurance before you get there and confirm that everything has gone through. The location is very easy to find and the staff is incredibly friendly and easy going. The office is very warm and inviting. They play relaxing music and even have blankets for you to to wear during your appointment, which is great for comfort, if you get cold, or if you just want some extra weight. They also have a Playstation Vue in the examination room which is nice to pass the time while you are waiting for the dentist to come in. They use the blood pressure wrist cuffs which I prefer - I think that it provides a much more relaxed experience for everyone. After a basic cleaning, you can schedule your next appointment, which I appreciate. I always lose track of the months and sometimes misplace the postcard appointment reminders that some dentists send out. Dr. Cantu is so friendly and easy going. It was actually a pleasure having him go over my x-rays, clean my teeth, and talk to him about my oral hygiene and dental health. read more

I have never left a negative review in my life, but I felt it was important to share my experience because of how disappointed and frustrated I have been. I had my appointment with this office on April 1, 2026, and I was told that I would receive my new Invisalign case within 6-8 weeks. After that timeframe passed, I did not receive any updates. I tried reaching out multiple times by phone calls, voicemails, and text messages, but I did not receive a response. I finally received a call from Dr. Cantu on June 10, 2026. He apologized for the lack of communication and delay. He assured me that I would receive my case, or at least an update, by the following week. I was relieved and hopeful that the issue would finally be resolved. Unfortunately, that follow-up never happened. I continued trying to reach the office through calls, voicemails, and texts, but again received no response. Today is July 9, 2026, which means it has now been over 15 weeks since my appointment, and I still have not received my Invisalign case or a clear update on the status. Despite my repeated attempts to get information, I was repeatedly told through text messages (as shown in the attached photos) that I would receive an update, but those promised updates never came. I have documentation of these conversations and the commitments that were made, yet I was still left without clear information or a reasonable timeline. Communication, transparency, and follow-through are extremely important when it comes to patient care. Unfortunately, my experience has not reflected those expectations. I do not like to take these steps, but after exhausting my attempts to resolve this directly, I am considering filing a complaint with the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners (TSBDE). Oakhill team, I would appreciate it if someone could please contact me and provide a clear update on what is happening. I simply need to understand the status so I can plan accordingly on my end as well. read more

Awesome dentist, I've been coming here for a few years and they've helped me turn a full 180 on my tooth and mouth care. They're very thorough, pleasant, and easy to work with. The staff is always cheerful and there's a great vibe in the office. Best of all, their pricing is really reasonable even without insurance; making it easy for me to stay on top of my oral health without a dental plan. Would highly recommend. read more

I have been told for the last two years of going to this dentist that I needed 3 crowns. This week I got a second opinion and it ends up I only need 2 fillings. My husband went this week also and the dentist didn't even come in to discuss what needed to be done. He had a previous diagnosis of needing 2 crowns and a filling and a tooth extraction. He never suggested having a crown on this tooth before it got so bad. This time the hygenist just said you need one filling. UPDATE: Husband had 2nd opinion. First thing was, when was the last time you had your teeth cleaned, he told them last week. They said whoever did it did a terrible job and they reschedule a tooth cleaning right away. What? Is she a dentist also? What's going on here? Never going back. read more

Dr. Mark Cantu and his wife own this dental practice. HOOK-EM HORNS because they are both graduates from UT Austin. From Invisalign braces to providing just about every dental service this lovely dental family is covering it all. They can even whiten your teeth for those who are in business where something like that makes a difference. Very friendly staff and technicians mean that your experience is going to be a good one. Stop by and let them help you smile again like you mean it. read more

Exceptional work. We had our long time Dentist retire and sell his practice to an outfit that didn't take our insurance. So we began the hunt. Oak Hill Dental was close to our house so we checked it out. I, of course, provided the wrong insurance information at first. The front staff worked their magic once I gave the correct information. They were able to use that to come up with exact figures for the Lady and I. So, first her appointment and she was pleased. My turn. They have headphones with music and work up a Frank Zappa stream on music. The Dentist was great and did the cleaning as the tech helped. I had a really good session, he was not rough, and I almost fell asleep during the playing of "Billy The Mountain". I really enjoy their sending 2 reminders and confirmations before arriving. Well done and thanks for the care and accurate information. We will be back. read more

Oak Hill Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - Austin, Texas

If you don't have great dental insurance (and even if you do), run from this practice! Dr. Cantu selected an aggressive treatment plan and told my daughter she had 7 cavities that needed to be filled and the cost would be $3,000 (we don't have dental insurance). When I asked about timing and if we could wait, he said they should be filled this summer. We got a second opinion and the new dentist said that there were indeed several spots of decay but none had crossed the dentin and may NEVER cross the dentin. There was no need to fill the cavities now and we could check back in a year. The same thing happened to my friend's 22 yr old son. Dr. Cantu said 2 fillings were needed. He procrastinated and visited a different dentist 6 months later who said no work was needed. In our case, the price of services at this office were also more expensive than other Austin dentists. He wanted $100 more than our orthodontist (a specialist) to fix a broken permanent retainer. He also wanted more than $650 for a bite guard that I ordered online custom for $150 from CustomTeethDevices.com. I don't begrudge the dentist making a profit, especially after COVID year, but this pattern for my family seems like downright offensive. read more

Great experience! Our previous dentist stopped taking our insurance, so we decided to switch to Oak Hill Dental. Natasha was extremely thorough and explanatory on our first visit. Stacy is also very helpful with insurance and scheduling. At our previous dentist, we could never get a straight answer about how much things would cost. So far we've had none of these issues at Oak Hill Dental. Dr. Cantu is friendly and did four fillings quickly and without any discomfort. Would highly recommend Oak Hill Dental! read more

Called last week for an emergency appt to look at my chipped tooth. Emphasized the emergency part. They said they could fit me in today I get there and they had confused my appts thinking I had a cleaning today. I booked both appts by phone last week and specifically said this was urgent. Now they can't take me. Just all around disorganized and actually rude when I got there. Don't recommend. Also high prices they charge for insurance covered cleanings I don't even know what that's about. read more

Possibly the best dentist in Austin. Gentle fingers, good communicator and excellent "bedside" manner. Would highly recommend this practice.

I was referred to this office for a second opinion after being told by a pervious dentist that I needed to get a crown after a filling fell out. Dr Cantu was very thorough and really examined my tooth and was confident that I could just get it filled without needing a crown. I went back today for the filling and it was one of the most comfortable experiences I have ever had at the dentist. The office is clean and smells good, the staff is friendly, I barely felt the Novacaine (which usually always bothers me) and was comfortable through the entire filling. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who is looking for an honest dentist that is extremely thorough does a great job while being gentle. read more

I have been to this office several times now and have not had any issues. The customer service is purely fantastic! I have finally found a great dentist I will be sticking with fo are a long time. read more

I would highly recommend this dentist to any friends, family, and people I know. They are honest and upfront with everything they do. I have been going to them for around 2 years now and they have always been very thorough from cleanings to the filling appointments I have had with them. Overall, an exceptional office. From Dr. Cantu and his wife, Luisa to the hygienists, assistant and front desk. read more

I setup an appointment for my daughter for her semiannual. Her experience was great. She said everyone was so nice and the cleaning was good. She will return again for next semiannual. They made sure to check her insurance before she came so they were able to get her previous records and know her coverage. She recommended Dr Cantu to the rest of the family. I am going to make an appointment for myself. read more

Don't go there. I went for cleaning only and they said they have to do X-rays, then gave me plan of $7k for multiple teeth with a rush to do it or I'm going to loose my teeth very soon. I decided to do one crown only . First round , the crown's color was darker than my teeth. Second round, it was shorter than my teeth when I decided to go somewhere else and get it right. Dont GO THERE read more

Great experience here as a new patient. Very professional and the office is very beautiful and relaxing. Super high tech upgraded equipment. Bonus points that it's close to my house. Dr. Cantu did my cleaning himself (which was a partial deep clean) and I didn't feel any pain at all even now almost 10 hours after. I was warned my mouth might be sore after the numbing solution wore off. And he didn't try to upsell me expensive unnecessary procedures like other dentists. I told my husband about my visit and he is considering switching dentists as well. read more

A great family owned dental office that offers personal attention and affordable options for those without dental insurance. The office is clean and modern and the staff is nice and friendly (even if you haven't been to the dentist in a few years). read more

Staff states, "We DO call a day or 2 in advance to confirm appointments." We think, "Good; that is to be expected of any professional office that one is paying for professional services and is mindful of my time as the client." Yet, then, she/they did NOT call and confirm. If/since this is the behavior/mindset of the support staff (employed by the dentist) I will take a PASS on this dentist because in Austin, we have MANY to choose from. As a manager myself, I always apply basic small behaviors of a practice or business to the larger picture. With Oak Hill Dental, I can already see that, should there be a problem with a filling, it's likely to be met with double-talk and dodging. No, thanks. read more

Dr Cantu and Staff are amazing, I highly recommend stopping by or calling to set up your annual cleanings and check up's.

Don't waste time searching other offices near by, you will not be disappointed. read more

Everyone at this office is fantastic, the lobby is beautiful, and they have special touches like aromatherapy and blankets. The dentist was not trying to rip anyone off like some do, and did not try to pressure me into anything I didn't need. Give these guys a try! read more

Dr. Mark and staff were amazing. My family and I received treatment today (kids ages 5-17). He was patient and did very well with the kids. They have the latest technology and are very patient centric in the way their office is run. They have a very nice waiting area that was comfortable. I have a phobia of dentists. They even offer complimentary nitrous to help people like me. read more
