Dr. Alvarez is absolutely exceptional at what she does. I spent nearly seven years researching…read moreveneers before finally making my decision. During that time, I consulted with at least four different cosmetic dentists to discuss the process, cost, and expected results. I even created a PowerPoint with examples of veneers I loved, veneers I didn't, and detailed notes describing exactly how I wanted my smile to look. When I shared everything with Dr. Alvarez, she confidently told me that I'd love the result. She absolutely delivered. I had veneers placed on my top ten teeth, and I genuinely could not be happier with the outcome. Not only do they look exactly as I envisioned, but what impressed me even more was the attention paid to their functionality. Dr. Alvarez preserved far more of my natural tooth structure than I expected, and she carefully inspected my bite to ensure everything fit. She refused to let me leave until my bite felt natural and comfortable, ensuring I could use my teeth properly without jaw pain or unnecessary strain. The level of excellence and attention to detail at this practice is truly unmatched. If you're considering cosmetic dentistry, this office is worth every penny. Dr. Alvarez, you have changed my life in ways you may never fully realize. My smile was my greatest insecurity for years, and now it is my favorite feature. The confidence you've given me has impacted every part of my life, and I will always be grateful for your incredible talent, care, and dedication. Arden, you were also amazing throughout the entire experience. You answered every question I had, always made me feel at ease, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable. She is, without question, one of the most knowledgeable and capable dental assistants I've ever met. Thank you for making this experience so positive from beginning to end. The rest of the team was just as incredible. They just knew my face when I walked in the door - as if I spent every day there. This is a level of excellence you cannot find anywhere else. Thank you all so, so much. Words cannot express my gratitude

I had been living for almost two years with a very small chip on a front tooth from biting on a…read moreforeign body lurking in some restaurant food. Two other dentists were pessimistic about their ability to fix it with bonding, without substantial removal of tooth structure. As I am blessed with overall healthy and pretty teeth, I resigned myself to just live with it. While it was barely noticeable to others, it was a substantial source of frustrating, near-constant physical discomfort for me. After moving to San Antonio, I wondered if this practice could help me out. Dr. Beckel saw me for what I assumed would be just a preliminary consultation, and he convinced me to let him fix it right then and there! I got the sense he could tell it had really been bugging me a while, and wanted to make it better. I felt his communication was good and his bedside manner really excellent. He gave the problem a lot of thought personalized to my specific case, and was optimistic--but realistic--about his ability to fix it with as microscopically minimal enamel removal as possible. After just a few minutes, I got handed a mirror and was stunned to see a tooth that looked genuinely as good as new. It was actually a bit shocking, in a good way. I am truly amazed by the appearance of this bonding. I feel that not only was the natural look of my teeth fully appreciated, but the complex manner in which light moves through the thin edges of my enamel, creating a range of shades, is continued seamlessly throughout the restoration. I was fully expecting to see some kind of subtle boundary or shading difference there, but it actually looks perfect. This must have taken a high level of skill and a profound understanding of dental aesthetics. Of course, the next test will be to see how it holds up long-term. Overall, I came in with what I understand to be a fairly challenging request. I was met with enthusiasm, consideration, and compassion.

I was looking for someone personable that could treat my kids like they would theirs. She had just opened her own practice and I love trying new businesses, so I decided to give her a try. I'm so happy I made our appointments with them because my children really enjoyed interacting with Dana, her dental hygienist, who is very sweet and gentle with children as well as Dr. Mattsson. I can't believe how good both my kids were with them! No fear and no tears! Awesome! Love them! Couldn't have picked a better team of professionals to take my kids to get their teeth checked out for the first time! I really like the overall comfortable atmosphere and that they address all of your dental concerns. Brittney, front desk, worked so well with me from helping us find the business over the phone, to coordinating and prepping us for our next appointments, so we knew what to expect ahead of time. I appreciated her honesty about our dental coverage, and how to fully take advantage of it. That's what really helped me decide to making more appointments for the whole family! Thank you god, my prayers have been answered! So happy with Dr. Mattsson and her staff of professionals! Dr. Mattsson is super sweet and professional, all your dental concerns will be met with a smile and is really good at addressing any future risks your teeth may have to prevent more costly procedures. Her very warm nature can set anyone at ease that they've put their dental hygiene in to good hands! Makes me smile!

I didn't experience pain (with the local or the procedure) and she talked me through the entire process. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Undoubtedly, going to Dr. Nistar's office was the best dental/medical office experience I have ever…read morehad. Dr. Nistar combines thorough technical knowledge and professionalism with a welcoming, friendly manner that could set even the most nervous patient at ease. Moreover, she works with the finest precision that I have ever experienced. I have been to other dentists who installed fillings in a hurry and caused some misalignment with my bite; Dr. Nistar, on the other hand, took the time to make everything perfect. (Also, everyone who has had dental work knows that the delivery of the anaesthetic shots is the scariest/most painful part of the procedure, but Dr. Nistar has such a deft hand that I barely noticed them when they were being administered.) Dr. Nistar's staff members are also top-notch. Their friendly, comforting chairside manner is clearly not the result of artificial training, but a natural fitness for patient care. The schedule is superbly well-organized, and I have never been left waiting there; they provide detailed, individualized, genuinely sympathetic dental care, while simultaneously maintaining an industrious and efficient professional ethic which ensures that all patients feel that their time is valued. I had avoided going to the dentist for nearly a decade, and so I felt no small amount of trepidation when I finally scheduled an appointment, but I quickly realized that a great dental visit can be not just painless, but even enjoyable. I live nearly thirty minutes away, and there are countless dentists between my home and her office, but after experiencing such a high level of care, I would not even consider going anywhere else.

I appreciate her professionalism, have built a rapport with her and that she's not excessively chatty. She's given me tips over the years and I know I'm in good hands when I'm being attended by her. I get disappointed if she isn't available. I had X-rays today and those bite-wing things can be overwhelming in the mouth so I just focused because at one point I almost threw up for some reason when it was towards the back of my mouth but I held it together. Luckily it's only once a year. Everything was straightforward and afterwards, Dr. Ruiz examined my mouth, scraped a little and I asked her about getting a new, thinner Mouthguard that will act like a Retainer. At first she mentioned one product that was for my upper and lower teeth but I told her I didn't have braces on my lower teeth so she thought about it and decided to have me try something else. I ended up ordering an Essix Retainer that's thicker than a regular Invisalign Retainer which is more flimsy so it acts like a Night Guard. I was able to get an iTero mouth/teeth 3D scan at the beginning of my appointment so I was able to skip an appointment and just come for the fitting later this month. The 3D scan is a new and free procedure that tracks changes in your mouth/teeth for future reference. Dr. Ruiz was very nice in our brief visit. My regular dentist is currently on Maternity Leave. As always, I leave with extra sample toothpaste, toothbrush and floss. The office has a Keurig machine, chips tray and bottled water in a small fridge and an Air Purifier out in the waiting room.

She was so helpful and answered some of the questions I had. I was taken back by one of the assistants (I believe her name was Daniella?) who was a sweetheart! She was so kind and friendly the whole time I was there. I explained to her what happened at the last dental location, and she was so empathetic and understanding, and reassured me I was in good hands! I was then greeted by Dr. Ojo, who was so friendly. He listened to my concerns, and was very knowledgeable and compassionate towards my needs! He is one of the few doctors in the Dental industry that actually CARES and doesn't treat you like another number! They gave me a cute stress ball to help with my nerves, and this was the first time a dental office provided one to me. It was a small gesture, but definitely made a difference to me! I am so thankful I was able to find them, and even though they are a little bit further out from my home, I don't mind the drive at all for amazing customer service!
