I'd gone to a dentist recently who told me I needed FIVE crowns. The cost for that treatment plan…read morewas over $6k, and I left their office in complete shock (never having or needing a crown before). I went to Dr. Annalisa Heck for a second opinion. Dr. Heck told me I just needed old fillings replaced, and the treatment plan will cost me under $2k. I encourage anyone to a) get a second opinion always and b) see Dr. Heck! She is honest, and caring and kind and personable. I look forward to have my treatment plan done by her and I despise the dentist! Also, the office is comfortable and quiet which is the complete opposite of the other office I visited which was loud and chaotic.

I initially reached out to Smile Creations to get a second opinion on some dental work. They were…read moreso kind and attentive and during the appointment and actually suggested a different care plan than my prior dentist. The new plan was a healthier more cautious route as well as more cost effective. They have a "calming menu" where you can request a blanket, headphones, warm neck pillow, etc. for more comfort and dental anxiety which I think we all can agree that we all get! Definitely recommend!

If we're being real...nobody likes going to the dentist. But ATX Family Dental completely changed…read morethe experience for me. First off, the space is chic, modern, and actually feels intentional. Not sterile and cold , but stylish and welcoming. The waiting room is super cute and thoughtfully designed, which already makes you feel more relaxed walking in. Every treatment room has a TV on the ceiling (because seriously... why do dentists put them on the wall where you can't even see them while laying back?). And yes, they give you the remote. Full control. As they should. They also give you these cool heart-eye sunglasses while they work on you, which is such a small but fun touch that makes everything feel less clinical and more comfortable. Beyond the aesthetics though, the environment felt inclusive and diverse. I felt safe in more ways than one, and that matters. A lot. ‍ If you're in Austin and have been putting off a dentist visit, this might be the place that changes your mind.

I learned so much about myself and they were so thorough. Dr. Ip, Shae, and Grace were all such a pleasure. On this visit, I learned that I have a deviated septum and also a tight oral frenulum. These might be why I have breathing problems at night. The team was never pushy with trying to sell me on services or products which I really appreciated. 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. It echoes and is awkwardly quiet in the lobby. I would absolutely recommend the dental office and will be back for my next check up/cleaning!

The estimates, treatment plans and transparency were all over the place at other offices than Westgate Family Dental. My first interaction was with Liz. She is so kind and communicative, but you can tell she is an absolute fighter for solutions for you. She runs the financial role of the business and I could not be more impressed with her professionalism and experience with navigating insurance companies, Care credit, and a patient's priorities. I'm a hairdresser and deal with a wonderful and very affluent clientele. I felt like I looked cheap with messed up teeth. The consultation was incredible. Dr. Christy Tu is a perfectionist. It was such an educational and solution driven experience, that I followed all of her advice. I later found out she went to the USC school of dentistry. A top tier school for general and cosmetic dentistry. I didn't way my implants to look like chiclets. I wanted them to look real and natural. She nailed it. I couldn't be happier with the results! The office is clean and modern, all the hygienist are so nice and thorough (wish I could remember their names). I can't recommend Westgate Family Dental enough!

From my very first appointment, they made me feel right at home -- which, let's be real, is not always easy to do at the dentist! Everyone on the team is incredibly personable, welcoming, and kind. You're not just another patient here -- they actually remember you and make the effort to connect. On top of that, they're super efficient. I never feel like I'm waiting around or being rushed. Everything runs smoothly and professionally, and they're always upfront and clear about treatment options and costs. Whether it's a routine cleaning or something more involved, I always feel like I'm in good hands. If you're looking for a dental office in Austin that combines top-notch care with genuinely good people, this is the place.

I was a patient of this dental office for eight years and would have given it a five star review…read moreuntil recently. I was in a period in my life where I did not have dental insurance so I was a cash pay patient. When I went in the last time, they insisted that I have x-rays and that if I didn't, they were not "running the business as they were taught ". So as it turns out, Dr. Peters wouldn't even clean my teeth! She talked to me like I was an errant child who was misbehaving. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I reached out to the owner of the practice and she called me back and apologized for how things happened and even offered to do the x-rays for free. Although I greatly appreciate that, I have no desire to go back and have to see Dr. Peter's. So I advise if you go to this practice make sure you have health insurance or unlimited money because people who don't are not really welcome.

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.

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.
