I moved back to Austin 3 years ago and resumed seeing my dentist from the late 2000's. While he is a nice man and the office staff are very nice, he only has two dental techs and my husband and I do not like one of the techs. Apparently, we are not the only ones as you have to wait months to see the other technician which put me way behind my cleaning schedule. So, I was on the hunt for a light, bright office with good vibes, upbeat music, a nice and friendly staff as well as an office up to date on the latest technology and I seem to have found everything I was looking for with Dr. Matthew Horne. Mia is a member of his front desk staff and she really gets all of the kudos. From my introduction to her over the phone to our encounter in person, I knew I had chosen well for my family. They are very thorough and for that reason, your first appointment may take a bit longer than normal, but I care deeply about my teeth and I appreciated the attention to detail. My brief encounter with Dr. Horne was also just as efficient. I left very happy and I also scheduled an appointment for my husband. read more

Went in as a first time patient today and was treated poorly and hurried throughout the visit. I do not have insurance and was quoted a very specific amount for x-rays, exam and cleaning. After the x-rays (the technician, Peter, was great) was shuffled to the hygienist. She kept calling me "honey" in a condescending tone and said she was "surprised" my x-rays looked so good after waiting so long to visit a dentist. Was asked multiple times about Invisalign, braces and other cosmetics that I had already said I wasn't interested in. I was really getting the hard sell at this point. She checked my gums and said they were in need of some TLC but nothing severe. She said it would be best to break up the cleaning into a 2-part visit. I asked what that would cost and she said she'd have the billing specialist work out the plan. The dentist came in, looked at my teeth for maybe 2 minutes then said i would need a cleaning (the whole reason for my visit) and agreed it would require 2 more visits. She then said I needed to watch some video about gum disease from the 1990's and left. The billing specialist then walked me through a multi-visit plan costing upwards of 600-1000 a visit! Then gave me a bill for 300 for that visit where i received no cleaning at all and only had x-rays taken. It was a complete scam, zero patient care, total hard-sell on cosmetics and dr. doyle clearly only cares about making money and not the health of the patients. I left sobbing and feeling less then human. I wouldn't recommend this office to anyone. read more

I've seen Dr.Horne for the past 15 years. He and his staff are amazing and I would recommend his office to anyone!

I had a disappointing experience at the dentist's office. The Doctor rushed through my visit and didn't take the time to address my questions about the cosmetic work I wanted. It felt like they were more interested in moving on to the next patient than in providing quality care. I left the office feeling unheard and frustrated with the lack of attention I received. If you have dental anxiety be prepared to be here a while, X-rays took at least 20-30 mins alone and it was over an hour until the doctor saw me. read more

i have been seeing Dr Horne for several years now. He is a great dentist. He puts me at ease and reassure me that all will go well. His staff is totally amazing! They make me laugh, family atmosphere. I recently cracked a tooth and got seen the same day. Thank you for all that you do!!! read more

Best Dental Office! I've had about four appointments with no issues in scheduling, payments, or treatment. I've seen Dr Horne, Dr Walton, Rebekah, & Tanya. The front desk, dental hygienists, and dentists have great personalities & have created a highly functional office. At the end of the visit you're shown each code that is to be billed + your insurance's estimated contribution + make your payment. If you do early morning appointments you get to see the sun rise with the Austin skyline. Would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Amazing experience overall- the staff is SO friendly and does such a thorough job. Very grateful to have such a solid dentist and team!

Just received a statement for a FOUR year old bill of $50.00 when I had a primary and secondary insurance. The statement is from a routine cleaning!!!!!!!!! If a primary and secondary insurance plus a copay cannot cover a cleaning, wouldn't you say your cost is a tad high doc? Looks like Dr Horne is jumping on that westlake bandwagon of high cost without quality of service... Front desk staff is quite rude and short with customers on top of lack of service, now this measly bill... It's insulting. This is why I left this practice years ago being I never saw Dr. Horne even at cleanings but was being charged a ton? No thanks. Go else where! Not impressed. read more

You should get your teeth checked out here. Dr. Horne is meticulous in his work, and it shows. I've been coming here for about a year now and have zero complaints. I always get a reminder call the day before an appointment, so I never miss one; this is really useful for someone as scatterbrained as me! Dr. Horne's hygienists are just as skilled as he is, and super nice, so I'm always at ease when I'm in the dreaded chair, just shooting the proverbial breeze as they do their thing. Top this off with the fact that there are TVs right in front of you if you get bored sitting there with your mouth open, drooling all over yourself, and this place can't be beat. read more

Most people hate going to the dentist- that's because they haven't been to Dr. Matthew Horne in Austin, TX. He and his staff make the experience whatever it may be, a pleasant one. They are timely, always call you by name, and are constantly checking your comfort levels. The office staff is transparent will all billing before they begin a procedure. I look forward to Visiting Dr. Horne's Office because everyone is so friendly and welcoming. If you haven't been to Dr. Horne, go get a cleaning! You'll be glad you did!! read more

Love, Love, Love this place! and you would think by my enthusiasm I would be talking about a shoe store or restaurant, but no I am referring to a dentist. I had not been to the dentist in at least 6 years and feared going and getting scolded or a lecture on how I need to make a better effort for caring for my mouth. So after moving to Austin, I said enough was enough and via a referral from my boyfriends brother, made an appointment at Matthew Horne, DDS. ATMOSPHERE: I walk in and the office is so clean and aesthetically relaxing. They see me right away, no long wait. They seat you in big comfortable dentist chairs and pull a little flat screen right above your view and hand you the remote. I love getting lost in the cooking channel. :) My favorite part about sitting in the chair has to be the view. You are facing a wall of reflective glass windows that offer a beautiful view of downtown and the rolling hills. THE PEOPLE: Contrary to what I was expecting after not going to the dentist for some time, I was not scolded or lectured for all the red wine and coffee I drink. In fact I was told they would never tell me not to drink coffee because they are coffee drinkers. Brownie Points!! These have to be some of the nicest people ever. I actually look forward to my visits because I feel like I'm just hanging out with some girl friends, but I'm actually getting my teeth cleaned. Becca in particular always makes a point to come by and say hi whenever I'm in, so sweet of her. Dr. Horne is awesome as well, always friendly and does such a great job. I highly recommend Dr. Horne!!! read more

There's not a critical thing I can say about the staff, environment, or overall experience. Clean. Prompt. Professional. Experts. Honest. Caring. Not only were the staff super friendly and genuine, Dr. Horne took time to get to know me. It was a pleasure to get to know he and his family also share my enthusiasm for volunteering in the Austin community. Dr. Horne is extraordinarily caring and not superficial. The recommendations for my dental care were forthright and conservative, but comprehensive. I feel assured that the experts in this office were looking our for my best interest and not their pocketbook. Going to this dentist is not an experience to be feared. Rest easy. You're in good hands! read more

There's really nothing worse than having a dental emergency on a holiday when you're new in town and don't know where to go... i'm happy to report that when I called Dr. Horne's office, the phone was immediately answered by a friendly and knowledgeable person who was able to get me in right away. It turned out that my "emergency" was just a bruised tooth, and my self-diagnosis from the internet was completely insane. But Dr. Horne didn't make me feel stupid and didn't recommend anything expensive or crazy. A less scrupulous person could have bilked me for many thousands of dollars in dental work. Honesty and care like this is hard to find, and because of this experience my family will definitely be coming here in the future. read more

Dr. Horne and his staff are excellent. I've been visiting them for the past three years and have only had good experiences. I take pretty good care of my teeth, but I have needed the occasional filling and two crowns over the past few years. Every procedure was handled in a very friendly, gentle, and professional fashion. I've had a couple of rough dentists in the past that have made the experience terrible, but I really don't mind and even enjoy my visits with Dr. Horne and his staff. I'd highly recommend his office. read more

This was my first visit to Dr. Hornes office in Circle C. I had an appointment for me and my 5 year old daughter and it went smooth as could be. It was great that they scheduled us at the same time. Everyone is so nice. They had a TV for my daughter to watch cartoons on while they worked on her teeth which was nice. I also enjoyed watching ESPN. They had a gift bag for my daughter to pick from after her appointment and she got a voucher for a free frozen yogurt because she had no cavities. As good of an experience as you can expect going to the dentist. I highly recommend this office. read more

I have moved a lot and had many dental office experiences. Dr Horne and his office staff are exceptional. I have had two crowns done thus far in my life. The first was a bad experience, and a crown that had to be done twice. The crown Dr. Horne did for me was great. The experience was flawless and his staff was awesome. The crown fits perfect and I was hardly even sore the day after. Dr. Horne is the best... I only hope I can find a dentist like him in Ohio as we are moving very soon. I highly recommend Dr. Horne! read more

Dr. Horne has an assembly line approach and over charges for even the simple cleaning. They do unnecessary procedures to make money! There is a negative energy I felt every time I saw him. Mia especially and her office staff are manipulative where they had an opening but would not give me the appointment. I found Westlake Family Dental--Dr. Burns just 5 minutes down on Bee Cave is very caring and professional staff too. They don't over charge and no need to wait during appointments or for an appointment! read more

Matt Horne is a fantastic dentist. He's quick yet thorough with a great chair-side manner and the work ethic of a Clydesdale. His staff is top-notch: friendly, efficient, and proficient with them little scratchy things. The scheduling process is efficient, the office environment is extremely clean, well decorated and very welcoming. A few months ago, I broke a tooth at work (I'd like to claim a fistfight with an intruder, but it was nothing that glamorous), called Dr. Horne and headed their way. They slid me into their schedule and I was in the chair before I knew it. I thought Dr. Horne was just going to take a quick peek then leave me in the chair since I'd barged in. Instead, he completely rebuilt my tooth with some space-age polymer or whatever the heck they use and I was back at work ASAP. He has been treating me and my family for a while and we wouldn't go anywhere else. He's the best. Seriously. read more

Doctor Horne and his staff are absolutely professional and it's always a pleasure (as much as it can be going to the Dentist) to visit them. The whole staff including Dr Horne takes the time to talk with you and ask you how you are doing etc. Everybody is upbeat and comfortable without being unprofessional. Top notch service. read more

The Best Dentist Ever He's fast, painless and everyone is a pleasure to work with. Not to mention the most beautiful work! read more

"OH THIS IS WHAT A DENTAL EXPERIENCE SHOULD BE LIKE??!!!" If I would have known this, I would have been better about going when I was younger. *note- I went to the new location off Slaughter lane. -Staff: Any staff at a dentist office have an uphill battle if you ask me and this staff are aware of that. Instead of the waiting room feeling all stuffy, its very open & a genuine friendly face greets you!! From there on it gets better! The X-ray tech, the hygienist all were so kind. -Dentist: I saw Dr. Flexsenhaur (the lady). and I left feeling like I just finished a year of dental school. She actually spent time, explaining & educating me on why she was recommending things. This was very helpful. -Location: This new location is great! parking is easy. Cons: They are only open here Mondays & Fridays for appointments read more

Dentists don't bother me. I like the way my teeth feel after a cleaning and I am a good dental client. I selected Dr. Horne after my assistant had a mouthful of work done several years ago. She hated dentists but went on and on about Dr. Horne. Something other offices don't have is his team. The staff is professional (and personable) and really want you to have the best dental experience possible. I cannot recommend Dr. Horne and his staff more highly. I have referred several work colleaues and friends to his practice and will continue to do so. He is the best. read more

Best dentist I've ever been to. I have pretty teeth, but they are prone to cavities and uber sensitive. So, I know the dentist's office all too well! Dr. Horne is the absolute best and makes you feel like you're not even getting your teeth fixed. Also, the staff are amazing! Everyone is super nice and works around your schedule. Plus, they deal with the insurance, so you don't have to!! I actually get excited about going to the dentist now!! Seriously. read more

After putting off a dental visit for several years (job, city, and insurance changes + general apprehension of going to the dentist) I finally took the plunge yesterday and visited Dr. Horne's office. I had such a great experience! Everyone on the staff was very friendly and asked what they could do to make me more comfortable. My actual appointment went very smoothly, and the staff were great about explaining a follow-up visit to touch up and replace some existing dental work. read more

I have been to 1 dentist my entire life. I was apprehensive in finding a new dentist when we moved to Austin. When I found Dr Horne I was welcomed by a friendly and helpful staff. Dr. Horne is personable and very knowledgable. One word, Outstanding! read more

Unfortunately Dr. Horne's office no longer accepts my dental insurance :( Which is sad because they are the BEST! The entire staff is friendly, personable, and truly makes you feel at home. I will miss you guys! read more

My entire family sees Dr. Horne. The office is clean and nice and obviously very up to date. They've even got great magazines, but you never get to read them because the staff is always prompt. I've never had a wait of more than 3 minutes. They hygienists are all knowledgeable and caring. They put everyone at ease and make our teeth all clean. Love this practice! read more

I had put off going to the dentist for 2 years! 6 people I work with go to Dr. Horne and told me I needed to go see him. When I made my first appointment, I told the person taking my call that my last dentist had me walking out in tears. She assured me that they would take good care of me and so I made my appointment. Here's the deal. I've never had a dentist like this. I can honestly say Dr. Horne's office gave me the best dental experience i've ever had. At this office, you are surrounded by people who love their job and are great at what they do. They are cheerful, sensitive, and engaging. Today I got back from a filling that was overdue. During the procedure Dr. Horne asked me how I felt and made me feel at ease every step of the way. I hands down, without a doubt would recommend him to anyone I know. I have ZERO anxiety about going to the dentist now. Yayyy to his whole crew.. and my coworkers for telling me to go! read more

Dr. Horne and his staff have treated me for years--always professional, kind and gentle. I recommend Dr.Horne and his team to anyone who wants quality, up-to-date dental care. Dr. Horne is an exceptional, caring dentist with an excellent staff providing the best possible experience. read more

I've been back a few times since 2008 including today and the office is still great. I needed a cleaning and I have pain in one of my teeth when I chew. I feared the worst; however, the tooth with an enormous 33 year old filling just needs a crown. We also talked about replacing my other older fillings and how much that would cost. That was at my request though, and not Dr. Horne's. In my experience with this office, Dr. Horne just wants you to be healthy and he treats you like a good medical doctor would, focusing on good overall dental health before he'll address the cosmetics. The ladies are all still awesome! Rebekah, Renee and Mia - plus I have an additional favorite hygienist now named Rachel. They're all skilled at what they do and very professional. It's a very comfortable and reassuring atmosphere. read more

The search is over! I move to Austin a few years back and have not been able to find a suitable dentist. I've been looking for a dentist that is conservative, thorough, and can preform a beautiful job. Dr. Horne fits the description. I found Dr. Horne through a recommendation from my children's pediatric dentist. She recommended him because Dr. Horne is her dentist, which says a lot. He performed some beautiful work on my teeth. Highly recommended! read more

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Horne and his staff! They always have the most up-to-date equipment and cool technology, personal flat screens during exams is an awesome touch, and the staff is just so friendly. Mia and I always share pictures of our kids and it's nice to have that personal touch. :) Overall they are the best of the best! We are planning to move about 40 miles away in a couple of years but I plan to still go to Dr. Horne - his office is that good! Rebekah is the best hygienist by far that I have ever had! She is so adorable, friendly, professional, and gentle but gets those teeth sparkling clean! Doesn't get better than Rebekah! read more

Dr. Horne has not stood behind his promise. I purchased a "lifetime" teeth whitening program for a substantial lump sum fee. After several years of service, I was told the program would no longer be available unless I used Dr. Horne's office for regular exams (which are more expensive than my regular dentist's). This requirement was not part of the original agreement. Dr. Horne has been obstinate and now refuses to honor the original promise of "lifetime". A great business will always put the customer first, honor its promises, and make every effort to fix a problem or mistake. At this office, the Dr. is always right, not the customer and Dr. satisfaction ranks well ahead of customer satisfaction. Dr. Horne has not stood behind his promise. There are many great dental practices to choose from. I'd just encourage you to really think about it before joining this one. read more

Terrible, Expensive, unexperienced staff. Now I end up big gap between my tooth due to bad crwon and he damaged my nerve which I am very sensative to temp. Aviod him as much as you can. read more

the fact that this place only has 4 and a half stars is mind blowing. if I could hang out at this dental office for fun I would! they have a mini fridge and a coffee machine in the waiting room, and I'm not really sure what else I could ask for. I didn't even get my teeth worked on, just came with a friend, and I got a sucker. such nice people and it doesn't hurt that dr. Horne is a total hottie. thanks yalll! if I could give you 12 stars I would! (slaughter lane location, don't let the street name scare you. this plane is the bomb) read more

Matthew Horne, DDS - my friend came in with chipped front teeth and they fixed her all up so quick! - General Dentistry Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wow, I get why people love it here, but there is something extremely shady about this guy behind the facade of a beautiful "spa-like" experience. TV's are great and all, but it shouldn't cost you $5,000 for a treatment. A few years ago, I went to Dr. Horne after moving back from college. At first, I loved this place. Loved the atmosphere, his bedside manner was great, loved watching TV from the chair. A few visits in, I was told by Dr. Horne that I had advancing periodontal disease, a severe issue with my gums that required periodontal scraping, which cost something in the realm of $500 per quarter side ($2000 total) and a number of visits. This in addition to a few cavities, a $40 "tooth brushing instruction" which were covered by my insurance meant I would quickly be paying approximately $3-5000 out of pocket for treatment. When I casually mentioned this to my family, they recommended I get a second opinion as my teeth appeared healthy and their dentist never charged this way - in fact, their dentist found ways to work within your insurance and payment plans to ensure that your dental health didn't put you in the hole. So, I went for a second opinion and he was shocked to learn that I had been told I had periodontal disease - my gums were healthy as could be. This was after I'd already paid for half the job, but needless to say I didn't go back. Fast forward a few years - a few weeks ago I ran into an acquaintance, who was completely harrowed by an experience at her dentist earlier that day. Apparently, she was told by her dentist she needed a root canal immediately and they were scheduling her with the guy who performs them *(why doesn't Dr. Horne do this??) that day. He novacained her mouth, etc. and she was quite upset as she had just gone in for a routine visit and hadn't had time to prepare (nor had she had any trouble with this particular tooth). Well, right before they started drilling, the other dentist apparently noticed the root canal wasn't at all necessary and the tooth was fine. I asked who her dentist was and to my surprise she said Dr. Horne. I know he seems like a great guy, but seriously, STAY AWAY! For the record, I now go to Dr. Clayton Hamilton in Northwest Hills, and he's fantastic!! read more

Best dentist ever. I had only been for checkups, but then my old crown fell out in the front of my mouth. The whole staff went above and beyond to put me at ease and they got me in right away to finish the job. They recommended me to a great entodontist and had me come right back to the office immediately after. They even made the permanent crown while I waited. From Mia up front, to Rachel and Mandy assisting, to the man himself, Dr. Horne, this is by far the best dentist in Austin. I would recommend them to anyone for routine and emergencies alike as I have received nothing but top notch service across the board. And now my grill is looking good again and all in less than 24 hrs! read more

A friend of mine recommended Dr. Horne as I was having tooth pain during lunch one day. Little did she know I was extremely anxious when it came to going to the dentist and it had been quite some time since my last visit. My previous dental experiences have impacted my life in a negative way and I simply opted not to go until it was necessary. I was traumatized from my previous experiences and to say I was a challenging patient when I initially went to Dr. Horne is an understatement - I felt like a cat about to be thrown into water. I am thankful to Dr. Horne and his staff as they were all very understanding and accommodating during my initial visit. They went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and understood exactly what they were about to do each step of the way. There were no surprises, they were efficient and professional. The office is very well designed, clean and almost feels as if you are going to a spa, not the dentist. The lounge waiting area has a fully stocked fridge with complimentary beverages and once I was called back they reviewed everything in detail with me. Before they started, I was handed a remote and given the option to watch and control the flat panel tv overhead as I relaxed in the comfy chair as my teeth were being worked on. I can say that I no longer have any tooth pain and am much more comfortable during my visits. I never thought I'd be happy to go to the dentist, but I am and I cannot thank Dr. Horne and his staff enough for taking such great care of me and my family. We will be returning for years to come... read more

Dr. Horne and his team are great. I have been going to them for almost an year now and must say that I have received the highest quality of treatment every single time. Definitely recommended ! read more

The best thing about this dentist office is how they help you with insurance questions and take a proactive approach. Sarah is exceptional. One time, I couldn't find my insurance, and she was able to find it for me quicker than I could even search through old emails to find my coverage, and she also goes out of her way to explain what benefits mean and what will/won't be covered. The office is also a great environment, and every employee is cheerful and seems like they are happy to be there. read more
