I was referred to Dr. B by my general dentist after discovering an infected tooth that would require a root canal through a crown. Not realizing how serious it was, I called Oakwood to schedule the consultation and after a few questions they were able to move my appointment up and squeeze me in almost immediately. From the moment I called them, I sensed that they genuinely care about their patients. They provided a clear, honest, easy-to-read estimate for the services. Come day of, I was nervous because root canals have such a negative connotation. The receptionist, the assistant (I believe her name was Lily) and Dr. B exceeded all expectations and made the scary experience extremely comfortable and pain free. The office is very nice and clean and I enjoy that the patient chairs look out a window. Dr. B was very kind, professional, efficient and explained everything thoroughly. I'll even add a bonus...in the aftercare paperwork, they provided his personal cell in case I have any questions or concerns after hours. Let me tell you...I had a procedure once that occurred on a Friday evening before closing and the office is closed on weekends. I got home only to find that the blood wasn't clotting from the procedure so I was bleeding excessively from my mouth for HOURS (almost 9 hours to be exact). I was about to go to the ER when it finally stopped, but in those hours I just wished I had a line of communication to the office staff or dentist to advise me on what to do. The fact that Dr. B provided his number goes to show the level of care you can expect at Oakwood. read more

I have been to Dr. B for 2 retreat root canals and one 1st root canal! He was amazing for all of them. He is so kind and gentle especially with someone who has a bit of dental anxiety. He takes time to check on you after the procedure personally, which I really appreciate. read more

I went to Oakwood to see Dr. Lin after receiving a bad root canal and crown from another dentist. I was extremely nervous and honestly pretty upset because I had been dealing with pain and complications for almost a year. I'll even admit I walked in with a bit of an attitude -- I was frustrated, in pain, and had already spent a lot of money trying to fix the issue. From the moment I arrived, the Oakwood staff immediately put me at ease. Everyone was professional, kind, and incredibly accommodating. They were knowledgeable and took the time to really listen to my concerns. Dr. Lin performed a full exam and asked detailed questions about how the previous dentist had completed the procedure. We both came to the conclusion that the previous dentist likely didn't use a safety cover (rubber dam), which allowed an infection to develop under the tooth. What impressed me the most was how thorough Dr. Lin was. The practice has a 3D X-ray machine that my insurance didn't cover, but instead of retreating the tooth blindly, Dr. Lin offered to waive the fee so he could get a clear and accurate picture of the infection area before moving forward. On the day of the procedure, everything was on time and the treatment was done comfortably with no pain. As I walked out of the building, I told my husband I could already feel the pain starting to decrease. By the very next day I was partially eating on that side, and within four days the pain I had been dealing with for almost a year was completely gone. I am incredibly grateful and so thankful for the Oakwood team and Dr. Lin. If you're nervous about dental work or dealing with complications from another dentist, I highly recommend them. read more

The young lady at the front was an angel. She was helpful, kind and went out of her way for me. I saw Dr. Derek Lin who was ok. Not as warm and helpful. I had to ask a couple of times to get a better explanation and opinion. I wanted a referal to a clinic my family had refered to before used that was execellent. He said he was friends with someone else. When I questioned the friends part, he changed it to colleagues. Since he didn't do any thing but advise me, I can only speak to his demeanor. Having been in pain for a few days trying to find someone to help me, I needed some compassion and only got it at the front desk. read more

On 6/10, I had a root canal performed at Oakwood Endodontics. The procedure itself was not terrible but unfortunately over the next couple of days, more pain than what I thought was normal occurred. I called the office and explained and was told the doctor was out of the office and someone would call back. A few hours later, due to the pain, I called again and was told he had just responded and sent in a prescription for a steroid. While I was taking the medication, the pain was tolerable but I was also alternating Tylenol and Advil around the clock. I again called Oakwood Endodontics for some advice/help but did not get immediate help but I was able to get into my amazing dentist instead. While there, my dentist noticed something on the X-ray and said I would need to return to Dr. Bjarnason as it looked like one canal had been completely missed. While I was sitting in the dentist's chair, Oakwood staff called back and told me to wait it out another two weeks. I told them that was not going to be possible due to the amount of pain I was in. Luckily, my dentist called and was able to get me an appointment. Once back at Oakwood, I explained how even drinking room temperature water was extremely painful. My concerns were dismissed as a "flare up" even though it had now been two weeks since the actual procedure. I called my dentist office back, as I knew this was not a normal pain from getting over a root canal, and was able to get a referral for another endodontist. Two other endodontists easily saw the missed canal upon examinations. Finally, mid-July, I was able to get it fixed and end the pain I had all summer long. As a teacher, we try to stuff all the medical appointments into our summer break. I started this soon after school was out and had my final appointment to fix the filling today, the week before school starts. For the record, if you have to have a root canal fixed right after insurance pays for it, the second go-round will NOT be covered by your insurance. read more

I took my wife for root canal here and it has been exceptional experience. It took us a while to get there but the facility is beautiful, very well maintained and has amenities like a coffee bar. Doctors and nurses were very very kind and explained the process to us thoroughly and made us feel ok opting out of certain procedures. Dr.B provided great care and made the whole experience as painless as possible, I dont know if they do regular cleanings as well because I definitely want to come here again. read more

Going into my need, I was a 1 of 5 and after the help of Oakwood am now a 5 of 5 stars. Thank you Oakwood Endodontics! From scheduling on the phone, to check in, preparation, and dentistry from Dr. Jose Burgos, I strongly recommend Oakwood. The care is paradigm and fees fair. read more

The staff and the Dr are very polite and professional. They treat their patients extremely well, Dr B evens calls to check on the patient himself! It's very rare these days to get great customer service and even caring attitudes, we appreciate it! read more

Fellow Sun City Georgetown Residents....Dr. Bjarnason, with Oakwood Endodontics, performed an excellent procedure for me this week...Unfortunately, it was a root canal, but he did a great, nearly painless, procedure, with little to zero after-effects. I highly recommend Dr. Bjarnason as he is a true professional that carries his Navy values and experience to our community. Thank you Dr. Bjarnason Joe Gray, Sun City Resident. read more

My teenage daughter (patient) and I were thoroughly impressed with Dr. Bjarnason's professionalism. Dr. B was very personable, highly attentive and engaging. Throughout the procedure he communicated in great detail what was going to be done which eased my daughter's nerves and made her feel comfortable. The staff was courteous, helpful and made the appointment scheduling process easy. If you need endodontic treatment, choose Dr. Bjarnason @ Oakwood Endodontics. You'll be glad you did! read more

Your googling efforts have landed on the very best endodontics practice in Travis or Williamson county. No need to continue vetting practices in the city as I've completed this emotionally draining and exhausting task on your behalf and Dr. Bjarnason (say: byar-na-son) is the Holy Grail. A graduate of Case School of Dental Medicine (#3 in the nation!), Dr. B. served as a general dentist in the US Navy, ultimately earning a Master's Degree in Oral Biology. His Board Certification by the American Board of Endodontics is "a distinguished accomplishment earned by less than 25% of all endodontists." Need I say more? So, Austinites, come away from the insanity that is Austin. Schedule your appt. with Dr. Bjarnason. Call and speak to the kind and compassionate receptionists Denise or Melanie. These amazing women played a vital role in enabling me to navigate my treatment plan and made me feel as if I was with friends and family rather than strangers in a frigid, impersonal medical practice. On appt. day leave your worries and fears at home. Key up your favorite tunes and hit the highway for a beautiful drive to Georgetown to this veritable mecca of dental excellence housed in stunning architecture and nestled in the midst of beautifully landscaped, botanical garden-like grounds. If you're lucky you might spy a deer on its way to a nearby meadow. Dr. B. runs a very tight ship (forgive the pun) undoubtedly owing to his military and medical school training and yet the atmosphere is relaxed, warm and welcoming from the moment you walk through the large, carved wooden doors. The waiting room is spotless and tastefully furnished. Side note....Dr. Bjarnason's fees are the most reasonably and fairly priced in the Austin/Cedar Park/Georgetown region, bar none. You will not be raked across the coals at Oakwood Endodontics. Once you are summoned by Alison (pure sunshine-y awesomeness) you might be taken to have a Cone Beam X-ray. No need to kick the tires of this state of the art wonder of radiographic technology as Dr. B. possesses the Ferrari version of the Cone Beam. You'll then be escorted to your futuristic treatment room, complete with new, spotless, state of the art equipment. In addition to the Ferrari tech they also have the Gentle Wave. Few practices have this advanced endodontic technology. Dr. Bjarnason will arrive promptly to discuss your treatment options. Immediately apparent is his flawless chair-side manner and sense of calm and confidence. His professionalism and expertise are apparent at every turn in the conversation and the easy going and engaging way in which he communicates complex aspects of your condition as well as treatment solutions will further instill confidence and leave you feeling empowered. It is rare in medicine today to truly trust one's provider. I had complete trust in Dr. Bjarnason's expertise. The entire atmosphere at Oakwood Endodontics instills confidence, comfort and most importantly, safety. Your well being is paramount, you are not simply a number. This will be a new and refreshing experience for some of you, it was for me. Bring a sweater or jacket for your procedure as it might be a bit chilly with the A/C. Remember to take a peek at the hummingbirds at the feeder just outside the picture window in front of your chair, then lie back and let this highly qualified professional do what he was trained to do. He will numb your mouth with a touch of topical anaesthetic before your needle stick to ensure you feel no pain. Yes, pain free dentistry is a thing. After your procedure, Dr. B. will call and check on you at home. Yes, really, he will call to ensure you are okay, safe and moving uneventfully through your healing process. It is this type of gesture which transforms good into exceptional and Dr. Bjarnason is exceptional on every level. After your procedure is complete no crow bar or top level security clearance is required to obtain your dental records. You'll receive an email the following day with complete medical notes, accounting and relevant X-rays. Every step of your journey at Oakwood is a lesson in kindness, respect, excellence and efficiency. Their tireless attention to detail and customer/patient service is deeply appreciated. Whatever criteria you have, rest assured each will be fulfilled by Dr. Bjarnason and his carefully chosen, dedicated staff at Oakwood Endodontics. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Dr. Bjarnason, Denise, Melanie and the entire staff. Thank you for providing a refuge of expert care, kindness, excellence and healing. Warmly, Happy Patient read more

This entire team is caring and genuine. Let's be honest, no one WANTS to have to go to the Endodontics office, but if you do, this is the place. read more

I was referred to this office by the VA to get a root canal. I've never even had a cavity so needless to say I was nervous, but the doc Xrayed my mouth and determined the tooth wasn't dead even though another office was ready to yank it. Honesty and customer satisfaction here, thank y'all so much! read more

Dr. B and his staff are amazing! I was referred here by my regular dentist and I'm so glad I went. I felt welcomed and comfortable within minutes of checking in. Melanie was so nice. My appt was for a root canal consultation. Dr. B had a cancellation so I had it done right then and there. It was virtually pain free. He called me the next day to be sure I was doing well. Dr. B is kind, gentle and explains what he is doing at all times. If you need an Endodontist, look no further. read more

I will have to admit, going to the dentist is always a dreadful experience. But, Oakwood endodontics staff and Dentist we're beyond professional. Not to mention the relaxing atmosphere, huge window to view outside and how clean and relaxing it was. By far the BEST dental experience I have ever had. Thank you for everything. Respectfully, Bryan read more

Me and my family are new to Georgetown and I was referred to Dr. Bjarnason to do a root canal and put a crown on. My visit with him was excellent and his staff was amazing. After the root canal he put my crown on and told me that the cement he was using was temporary and to go see my regular dentist to have him put the crown on permanent with permanent cement. He took me in short notice as I was scheduled to travel later that evening and needed my root canal done before I got on a plane. Well unfortunately I did not get in to my regular dentist for the permanent cement because I had been traveling. So fast forward to today a couple months later. My crown came off which was my fault for not getting it permanently on by my other dentist. I called Dr. Bjarnason who gave me his cell number in case of an emergency after my root canal. He did not have to see me on a Saturday but I told him I was flying out again today and if he could I would appreciate it. Dr. Bjarnason took time away from his family and met me at his office to put my crown back on. This level of service to his patient was just way beyond amazing and appreciated. I can't recommend him enough for his great work on my tooth and helping me in need. Oh and the root canal was a painless and easy process with him. Thank you again Dr. Bjarnason for the amazing help. read more

I just had a root canal with Dr. Bjarnason. I was a little apprehensive as I have heard stories about root canals! I was immediately put at ease when entering the attractive office and greeted by very friendly receptionists . Dr. B was very knowledgeable, capable and warm and friendly . I can honestly say I experienced no pain or discomfort during or after the procedure. I just went back yesterday for him to look at it and everything is perfect . Thank you Dr. B and staff !!! read more

The Dentist and staff are the best I have seen in GTX. Bedside manner is great. They care about you personally too. read more

I was dreading the appointment for my root canal, and I was extremely nervous. However, Dr. Bjarnason and his staff were so welcoming and accommodating from start to finish. The procedure was VIRTUALLY PAINLESS!!! Dr. Bjarnason checked in with me continually throughout the procedure which was very reassuring. I highly recommend Oakwood Endodontics! read more

If you need a root canal, as I did, Dr. Spencer Bjaranson and crew are the BEST team you can find. Mine was a 15 year old root canal that developed a painful infection. My Georgetown dentist suggested I contact Oakwood Edodontics and I was given a prompt appointment. I feared I would lose the tooth; a similar problem a few years ago led to a harsh endodontics and painful procedure. This team carefully assessed the situation and in an easy painless procedure cleaned the infection and installed a temporary filling. If the need arises I will not hesitate to call upon Dr B. and his team again! John W read more

Dr. B evaluated my 94 yr/old mom's front tooth after her general DDs said it was infected. The entire staff took such good care of her, spoke clearly, got her a neck pillow, and put her at ease. Dr. B explained her options clearly and without pressure. After all our questions were answered we all decided to do nothing unless it became painful. Although she did not have actual treatment, we were very happy with the exam, discussion and outcome. read more

Dr B and the staff took great care of me. Pain is gone! Nice office and staff, answered all my questions and concerns. Overall a good experience! read more

Dr. B and his staff are wonderful. I had a painless root canal. He had to clean up a 15 year old root canal because of an infection, remove the old root canal, used a machine to thoroughly cleanse the canal, and redid it. The tooth had a crown on it and he merely punctured a hole in the crown instead of having to remove it, then in put a temporary filling (until I can get to my regular dentist next week). I highly recommend Dr. B and his team. read more

Not a good experience. I still have pain several months after my root canal.

My regular dentist Dr. Patrick Bell of Marketplace Smiles (who is an awesome General Dentist in every way with a super office staff) checked my painful tooth after I called him on a Saturday and said after the Monday's close inspection that I needed a root canal. Because it was special issue having been under a 4-tooth Bridge/Crown that had cost me $4,000 some years back, he recommended the best Endodontist in the region- Dr. Spencer Bjarnason. Dr. B took me in right away because it was painful. When in his chair I did not feel any anesthesia picks and the root canal was over before I knew it. Dr. B has all the latest Endodontic technical equipment which made it feel no different from a regular filling. I was very pleasantly surprised that everything went very very well, and painlessly. It's been 2 months since that time and the tooth and bridge/crown are doing very well, and he saved the bridge in its entirety. He worked with me on the cost of the procedure, too. The office and assisting staff were very warm and professional. I will definitely come back to Dr. Bjarnason's Oakwood Endodontics with my next dental issue. I heartily suggest that you do the same and you will be very happy that you did. ( I wish all dental work could be performed like this one). read more
