My journey with South Austin Dental Associates has been a life changing experience. Dr. Roger Telles and his team worked very diligently to make sure that I had the best smile money could buy. Dr. Roger Telles and his team was so professional doing the whole procedure and friendly. I got my health and confidence back. I feel like a new man. After all of the years I suffered with teeth and gum issues, I'm excited to say that them days are behind me now. I have a million dollar smile and it's all because of the South Austin Dental Associates Dr. Roger Telles. Now I can enjoy the finer foods this world has to offer without pain, nor discomfort. If you have been to dentist after dentist just to get the same negative results, I highly recommend this dentist office, because I was one of the ones who was about to give up until I came across them and everything changed for the better. I am so satisfied with my new dental implants that I can't stop smiling. Thanks again South Austin Dental Associates for everything. read more

See all

The staff is super nice but unfortunately they don't pay my bills.. I have been there 2/3 times now and the last time I went I told them I wanted to look into snap in dental. Not the implants however I was brushed off on that. And I had a request that they put my crown back on that I have until I get the work done. Not one word said! Thirdly the cost was expenentially higher than the other dentist using same materials. So that tells me I am paying all that over head. Lastly they wanted to charge an extra 6k for putting me under. By the time I paid that bill I could have implants for the family! read more

I recently had an extremely distressing experience at South Austin Dental Associates. Dr. Matthysee removed upper left chewing tooth 14, which was healthy, and in the process, knocked the crown off tooth 13. He was aware of the errors he made and immediately offered me a fee of $1837.00 to replace the crown he knocked off, though he didn't realize the extent of the damage at the time. I had to see a periodontist to remove the damaged tooth 13 and correct a bone graft Dr. Matthysee had done improperly on tooth 14. The periodontist found that one of the roots was left exposed and the stitches were poorly done. I am now facing significant pain, long recovery times, and exorbitant costs to correct the damage. I was left with no chewing teeth on my left side. I urge others to be extremely cautious when considering advanced procedures at South Austin Dental Associates. Korena is an exception as she is the best hygienist I have known. read more

I was being referred over from South Austin Dental Studios since they closed. They told me the out of pocket fees were comparable -- they were almost double! They said they would call me about cost a few days before since it was my first visit -- nope, I had to call in. Then when I mentioned there fees were double and I wanted to cancel the appointment so I could shop around the lady hung up on me. Rude company !! read more

Unclean/Dirty/Disgusting Dentist Office They Don't Listen To People Very Good And They are Like The North Austin Dental They are rude They left a SHARP UNEVEN FILING in teeth on many people and their waiting room is extremely uncomfortable close quarters also they're giving people eight shots in the gums for just one cavity and sometimes four shots for just one cavity THEY CHARGE AN EXTREMELY BIG AMOUNT OF MONEY read more

yeah my tooth is gone from bad to worse and I didn't have a problem before I went there. I cannot wait to get back to see my real dentist Dr Fan at the dental center seriously I don't know how that kid got his license but it was horrific paid extra for nitrous which I was not charged for as the tank was empty. My face was squished and I almost swallowed a metal object they had in my mouth as they were chatting. I was upside down for quite too long quite dizzy and it wasn't the nitrous. It was a drag. And now my tooth is really hurting the one I went in to fix a cavity for it actually hurts it didn't hurt before. Clearly I will not be back. More problems now that the cavity was filled? Seriously. And the office was dirty. I'm just going to say it the ceilings were gross it doesn't look like it had a thorough cleaning. Bummer read more

- Caused damage during a procedure that I need to go to a 3rd party to fix - Mischeduled appointments on multiple occasions wasting hours of my time - Charged 1000$+ more than competitors for the same treatment read more

The Care I have received here has been phenomenal! Jade & Shellee always treat me with kindness from the time I walk into the door until the time I leave! They also call to confirm my appointment!! Thank you both for making the dentist an enjoyable experience for me! read more

Worst dental office I've ever been to. Office was unorganized. Making apts without consultation. Canceling them without notice. They billed my insurance for 3 separate visits at $328 per visit, charging for services I did not receive. They have now sent me to collections because I no longer want to see them. They tried to charge my husband thousands of dollars for a procedure he did not need. We wisely got a second opinion. They said he needed a root canal and a crown, we found out that the tooth could not be saved. They are rude, the office is cramped and feel dirty. They literally wasted two afternoons of our time. Save yourself time and A LOT of money, don't go here!!! read more

I recommend SADA! They are taking really good care of my 89 year old Dad! Appreciate you guys! read more

Do not waste your time finding this place. A total waste of time. After looking for this location, I arrived early. Do yourself a favor save your time and go elsewhere. I would never want to have any work done at their office, it lacked professionalism and courtesy. Go elsewhere. read more

Dr. C, where were you all my life?!? I will admit, I've only had one other dentist in my life, but Dr. C'a office rocks my socks. The dental hygenists here are always so sweet and never judge me like they did at my previous dental office. Lets just say I LOVE Iced Tea, and sugar, but they have never berated me, and even gave me tips like what gum to chew so I wouldn't have to floss as much (anything with Xylitol - stops cavity growth!). Dr. C is uber concerned with the comfort of his patients, and always makes sure you are comfortable and have plenty of pain meds to take home with you. He remembers me and my family each time I come in, and had made going to the dentist mostly bearable for me! Thanks, Dr. C and Associates :) read more

I've never liked dentists. Not due to the physical discomfort of the dental work, but due to the fact that most dentists I've encountered seem to be money hungry, make-ailments-up-out-of-thin-air-for-extra-compensation professionals. I've been going to South Austin Dental Associates for about a year now, and I can't describe how grateful I am that they're in business. I live in Round Rock, and I drive ALLLL the way down to south Austin to see Dr. Chelkowski and his hygienist, Karina, because they're just that good (and they're the highest rated dentists on my dental insurance). They're very conservative in the services they recommend to be performed, gentle and attentive, and just all-around great people. I've never felt like I was being shaken down by Dr. Chelkowski or his staff. I've finally found a dentist that I go to regularly, and my teeth/gums have never been healthier than they are now. I can't recommend SADA, Dr. Chelkowski, or Karina highly enough. As far as I'm concerned, they're the best dentists in Austin. read more

After getting new insurance, I found this right in my neighborhood and called to make an appointment. It was going to be about a month out, but I made it anyway and hoped for the best. Can you get a same-day appointment somewhere else? Absolutely. Dental office group chains run amok in Austin, but please believe, it's well worth the wait. First off, the office was in constant communication with me - I received multiple calls to see if I wanted an appointment before my scheduled one due to cancellations - as well as a day-before reminder call. Once there, the staff was friendly and professional, taking care to review my medical history and paperwork. The cleaning itself was a breeze and I was especially impressed with meeting Dr C who gives out a business card with his cell phone number on it for any after-hours emergencies. All around, this place is a class act. It's rare to find a great dentist's office with equally great customer service. read more

The worst experience ever!!!! Dr. Chelkowski was SOOO rude and disrespectful! Please save your money and time, do even consider that clinic. I've received an estimation cost of the crown for $900 (!), but my insurance plan says $410... When I came to check why it 2 times more expensive that is suppose to be, Dr. Chelkowski just yelled on me, and asked me to go to the Castle Dental, or any other "thrift dental clinks" (how he called them), because he is to busy to talk to me, and he has more then enough clients, so he is not interested in me as a client. read more

Dr Butcher is awesome. Highly recommend him I have been his patient for over 20 years and still think he's the best read more

As much as going to the dentist isn't enjoyable, this was a painless process and everyone in the office from the office manager to the hygienist and dentist were all very nice. I'm glad to have finally found a dentist's office I can stick with! read more

Dr. Butcher is outstanding. He has been my dentist for years. It's not often that you find a dentist that you enjoy visiting! He has more experience than any other dentist in the area and he is so kind and personable. He has performed numerous fillings, root canals, and crowns on me and I visit twice a year for my cleanings. He recently got new equipment. He always knows everyone by name and remembers details about us. He is so gentle. I tend to feel pain more than average, and I have never felt a shot or procedure. Christi, his assistant is caring and so sweet. She makes sure that the patient is ok and informed about everything that is happening. I just can't say enough about this practice and I hope that Dr. Butcher practices dentistry for another 40 years. read more

If you are looking for a dentist with excellent credentials and many years of practical experience then you should make an appointment with Dr. Butcher. He and his team are top notch. I had a cavity filled today and felt zero pain during and after the numbness wore off. I am also in need of an implant and he helped me to understand the implications of how these are done, length of time, etc, difference between an oral surgeon and a periodontist, etc. Really helpful! His dental assistant Christy does an excellent job too. She really helps you to stay calm and relaxed all the while she makes sure the doctor has what he needs to do the job. Great team! read more

I recently saw Dr. Chelkowski and his hygienist, Francesca, for a routine cleaning and initial oral exam. At first glance, the office seems a little old, however the staff obviously does a fantastic job keeping things clean and running very well. Dr. C and Francesca both have great bedside manner and are very thorough in their work. I would, without a doubt, recommend this office to anyone seeking a new dental care provider. Thanks, Dr. C! read more

Dr Butcher and his crew have been working in the same spot forever. They are the best. I hate going to the dentist but his team makes it as pleasant of an experience as going to the dentist can be. I originally saw Dr Butcher to get a second opinion on a reasonably expensive procedure that another dentist office had told me that I needed. Dr Butcher was straight up with me and told me that I did not need the procedure and I would be wasting my money getting it. Sure enough, Doc was correct. He saved me over fifteen hundred in medical bills not to mention two hours in a chair! I will never use anyone else. read more

I had my second cleaning yesterday, and I didn't even break a sweat. I was happy to see Karina and she treated me just as gently as she did the first time. I can't say enough about how happy and relieved I am to have found this office. My dental fears are GONE! read more

Dr. Chelkowski and his staff have been great to work with for my crown. When a problem was noticed it was immediately rectified and made right without hesitation. As a small business owner, I appreciate the level of service and high quality care I get from a small, family owned dentist. Their biggest concern is making sure you are happy with your care! Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Butcher has been my dentist for the last 30 plus years. My husband as well and also all my kids grew up under his care. I cannot emphasize enough how great his care has been. His service is not business driven - he recommends the best solution regardless of cost implication. I highly recommend Dr. Butcher for anyone, without any hesitation!!! read more

I saw Dr.Butcher for our whole family to have our teeth cleaned because we got new dental insurance and I wanted to find a dentist in South Austin close to our home and neighborhood. Dr.Butcher and the whole staff did a great job with me, my husband and our 5 year old! Today I had a filling done by Dr.Butcher and have to say that it was the easiest filling I have ever had in my life! I have had so many fillings in the past where everything was painful so I was not looking forward to today. He administered the Lidocaine in such a way that I really had no pain from the needle and felt nothing. Then he was done all in the matter of literally 35-40 minutes. I have already started referring my friends ad family to go see Dr. Butcher and I highly recommend him and his whole team! read more

I was incredibly nervous to go to the dentist last week because I was bad and had not gone to a check-up in over two years. This entire office was so friendly and welcoming the entire time though! I didn't have my insurance card on me and told them I needed to get an email back from my HR person, and they went ahead and took care of getting all info while I was in my appointment. They are also super intelligent and explain things in kindergarten terms for you. Dr. Butcher was one of the nicest dentists I've ever met and I won't go anywhere else in Austin now. read more
