I have held back from leaving a review for many years, but as I continue to work and spend…read morethousands on rectifying the work done, I feel responsible to do this. Eight years after walking into this office, I can look back and be certain that walking in was one if not the worst decision of my life. Teeth are precious and not only tools for chewing--they're part of an interconnected system involving digestion, posture, emotions, energy, and overall vitality. This practice doesn't focus on any of that but surely has a strong focus to sell. I worked with 3 different dentist's here; I was young and said yes to everything: frequent cleanings and all the upsell that comes with that, many fillings, crowns, 3 root canals, and even more! I thought I was being responsible. One of the main things to highlight is, absolutely ALL of the crowns were left with a margin. I learned over the years by asking questions that same day crowns are typically found in chain practices where the doctor is not the one molding and the staff is not always well equipped. This was absolutely true. I can think of a time where I removed the molding for the assistant myself(of course I did it wrong). I visited another dentist during that time who did a 3D scan. That doctor warned me of the margin on a particular tooth. I went back to this practice and Dr. Lising minded. She insisted that the crown was fine. That was on a root canal so I didn't feel discomfort, yet the crown fell off on a random day. Sadly it was too late-there was significant decay underneath and the tooth had to be shaved down significantly. Dr. Lising was not pleasant to work with during this time. As I read on many other recent reviews, I also experienced the arrogance. She laughed at my hesitation to "fix" the issue. I agreed to placing a dental post to then place a new crown. Sadly, the post caused the tooth to break and led to an infection that showed while pregnant. I had to have an extraction while pregnant and an implant months later. This costed me several thousands. On a different occasion, I complained of sensitivity on a particular tooth and was told that I needed a root canal. With what I know now, I can say that it was called too early. All I did was say that it was sensitive, that's it. Root canals are bad news and I just extracted a second one. The recovery was brutal. I have one to more to go. Another experience was an onlay that fell off 4 times before it never moved again- I don't know how that was accomplished. If I could go back, I would want my young self to read this review and be intrigued to read on functional/biological dentistry. You will find a doctor who will cost you a bit more per visit but a whole lot less over time, a Dr. that will care to save your teeth. I do not have any pleasure in leaving this review, in fact it is hard but I feel a strong need to. I have spent thousands of dollars over the last 4 years to redo all the work that I have paid for in the past! It is painful in every way and I don't wish it on anyone. If you are looking for a dentist, please be kind to yourself and look for a Dr that will care for you from a functional perspective and educate you while saving your teeth.

Sadly, I cannot give a one star review…read more At an annual cleaning appointment Dr. Davis suggested replacing my crown for cosmetic reasons and I unknowingly left for college in August 2025 with a crown that was not properly fitted. I was left alone at college with severe teeth pain, ear aches, nerve pain, and I could only chew on one side of my mouth because of the intense pain I felt day and night. I frequently visited emergency rooms and dentists in Austin with additional incurred costs, not knowing my pain came from my tooth being severely inflamed and infected due to deep decay, damage, and trauma because of my ill-fitted crown. I returned to Houston and alerted Dr. Davis and staff of my severe pain, where I immediately came to tears because of my immense pain, and he came to the solution to shave down my crown. He said that shaving my crown would help, but that I might need a root canal if the pain continued. I was not given an X-ray, which would have shown how infected and damaged the root of my tooth was. At this appointment the urgency and need of getting a root canal was severely brushed over. After visiting a new dental practice, I was told that I needed immediate care (root canal and crown replacement) because of my ill-fitted crown that could have left me with permanent damage, and even the loss of my tooth. As a young female college student, I have endured immense stress, pain, and emotions due to the lack of attention and care from Cosmetic Dentist Associates. I have lived a very difficult six months where my tooth and nerve pain were a constant stressor, when it could have been completely avoidable if I had received proper care from this dental practice in the first place. I am happy to say that I have received attentive care from a dentist in Austin and finally, six months later I am able to chew on both sides of my mouth, and not live in fear that my porcelain crown would break inside of my mouth with a dead tooth. I advise every one who comes to Cosmetic Dental Associates to advocate for themselves, as I have spent half a year of my youth in serious pain, when it could have been completely avoided or caught earlier if I was listened to.

I initially contacted Dr. Lee's office to schedule a routine dental cleaning…read more I was informed that a checkup was required first. I explicitly stated that I did not want to proceed. Later that same day, the dental office called me back and stated that they had checked with my insurance and that the visit would be fully covered. I said no, I have to check with my insurance myself. Later, their insurance person called and texted me back and confirmed that they had checked with my insurance and that the visit would be fully covered. Based solely on that representation, I agreed to schedule the checkup. After the visit, I received a bill from Dr. Lee that insurance did not cover part of the service, allegedly because that portion is only covered once per year and I had already used it. Do not trust them when they say they checked with your insurance. Had I been correctly informed of this at the time of scheduling, I would not have agreed to the appointment.

I'm so glad I ended up hunting down Dr. Iero. I wasn't referred to him by my regular dentist…read morebecause my regular dentist wanted to do the extraction but I wasn't comfortable with that so I started looking for an oral surgeon specifically. I was diagnosed with a cracked tooth which caused an infection and extraction of the tooth was going to be the best option. During my consult the office did a really cool scan/xray thing and actually ended up being diagnosed without anyone ever even looking in my mouth which I thought was super cool. The office is also nice and clean which got huge bonus points from me since I can be really sensitive to smells. The extraction took like 20 minutes total and I'm not going to say it was a walk in the park because- someone ripped my tooth out of my face but it actually was painless. Even the shots were so magically well done. One of the nurses/assistants (IDK what they are) told me at the start that she was going to put numbing agent where he would do the shots and just never came back so he did the shots without them and I literally couldn't feel them. I had just had a filling the week before and it felt like the dentist was shooting acid in my face so for Dr. Iero to be able to give me a shot IN THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH without any real discomfort was pretty impressive to me. He also walked me through what he was doing and explained what might happen. When my cap broke off I didn't panic because the doc had given me a heads up. And at the end they gave me a care package of things that I didn't even think to need. If I can give any advice to anyone seeing Dr. Iero though it would be- absolutely do not be late. On the day of the procedure Houston got some heavy rain and drivers were freaking out as they do so while I allowed myself 20 minutes of travel time for the 10 minute drive, I ended up being late and the doc was SUPER obvious about his annoyance. He wasn't angry as much as like disappointed parent mode and he mentioned it not once but twice. I also hate people who are late and I hate being late so I totally understood the annoyance but just allow yourself the extra time. I would still recommend him 10 out of 10 times because of how well he did. If you're that skilled you can be particular- those are the rules lol all in all this was a very positive experience given that i lost a tooth. I'll see him again in a few months for the rest of the process and if (god forbid) I have to get another extraction I will 100% come back to Bellaire facial, oral, and dental implant surgery.
