The front desk support staff are friendly and helpful, and makes you feel welcomed. The doctor does exceptional, great dental work. Makes a person feel relaxed and comfortable. At least in this dental office, that's my experience. I recommend you go there. read more

Vida Dental South - Beautiful Teeth!!! - General Dentistry Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

I've been going to Dr. Patel for several years now and overall it's been a good experience. Today I went for my annual exam, and it was just okay. I appreciate that they keep up with the latest technology and now x-rays are really simple to get. I'm not a fan of the new cleaning equipment. The high pitch noise is very distressing and it would be nice to be able to wear earbuds and listen to music. The hygienist was very efficient, if a bit distant. I usually see Dr. Patel, but a new dentist came in to do the exam. He never introduced himself. I also wear a partial, but he didn't have me put it to check the quality of fit. Overall, I felt like just a number, even though I've been a patient for so long. read more

I have been a patient at Vida Dental for at least a year and have never had a problem. However, today I was treated disrespectfully by the front desk. I was disappointed and upset by the way I was spoken to. As a patient who has been coming to your office for over a year, I believe I deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect. I hope management will take the time to look into what happened. I value the dental care I have received at Vida Dental, but I also believe that respectful customer service is an important part of a good patient experience. Thank you for your attention to this matter. read more

I called to set up an appointment as a new patient and asked told the receptionist that my insurance would only cover a basic cleaning and certain number of x rays and asked if they could work with that. She said no, that they couldn't guarantee that because the x rays might show I needed a higher level of care. I asked if they could send me an estimate of what the higher level of care would cost me above what my insurance paid and she said no. I've never had an office refuse to give me an idea of the cost, and she was dismissive and impatient. Setting up an appointment for the dentist and worrying about how to pay for it is already stressful, and this lady made it worse. read more

They are thorough, helpful and informative. An overall good experience! Thanks Vida! Bruce read more

They do good work but if you miss one appointment they'll charge $100. Feels kind of predatory, even for first time offenders.

Excellent service. Entire staff is so nice and make a dentist appointment a comfortable experience. Transparent with costs and gave me options with professional recommendations. I value this type of treatment when it comes to health. read more

*5/5 Stars* I'm so grateful to have found Vida Dental South! After years of avoiding the dentist due to anxiety, I was blown away by the exceptional care and kindness I received from the entire staff. From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel comfortable and at ease. The team is incredibly professional, explaining every step of the process in detail so I knew exactly what to expect. The office itself is immaculate and modern, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The front office staff are absolute gems - friendly, efficient, and genuinely caring. I can't recommend Vida Dental South highly enough. If you're like me and have been putting off dental care due to anxiety, please don't hesitate to give them a try. You won't regret it! read more

Can't say enough good things about Vida Dental South! Every single person in the office is a delight to speak to and are more than willing to answer questions about billing/procedures/etc. The dentists also constantly ask how you're doing during procedures and check ups which I really appreciate. 10/10 love this team read more

They're very friendly staff and good doctor . They do provide interpreter in person. Place is very clean and do care and listen

Dentist nice and knowledgeable , but still have not received plan and cost . I called and asked about the pla. , but no response.

Really did not like Vida Dental. I have a lot of jaw pain and experience extreme pain with long procedures and need breaks often. I communicated that with the dentist (Dr. Bednarski) and he did nothing to help ease the pain even after I had tears running down my face. In the past, I had a dentist give me nitrous oxide to help distract me from my jaw pain. When I brought this up, the dentist and assistant laughed and made me feel silly for even asking. I was eventually given nitrous which I felt zero effect and continued to have an extremely painful procedure. Afterwards, I told him the nitrous must have been off or really low because it was not effective. I asked for a refund for that expense and he told the nurse to discount a small portion of the charge. The rest of the staff was kind, which is why I'm giving two stars but I will not be returning because of multiple negative experiences with him. read more

Dr. Swetha Sama was great! She made sure I felt safe and comfortable! Highly recommend!

I needed tooth removal and implant work everything is good so far no worries. I will continue as scheduled.

This is hands down the best group of humans working in the most lovely office. I wasted so many years searching for a good dentist, and I never have to search again. They seem happy to be doing their jobs, and they are incredibly professional. This is the most refreshing dentist ever. Finally! read more

Good service and nice people. I didn't have to wait long for my appointment. Treatment was clear and explained

Excellent staff and office environment! Nina was great. Very kind and thoughtful and professional! She explained clearly everything she was going to do and walked me thru the process. Brittany was so gracious to squeeze me in for a dental cleaning last minute. I appreciate the care the entire Vida dental puts into their customers to ensure a pleasant experience! THANK YOU Check 'em out! read more

The entire staff who worked with me were all very respectful and professional! They all seem very knowledgeable and eager to give patients the best care. They also have very pleasant dispositions! read more

I was welcomed. The staff had excellent communication and care. I didn't feel as nervous as I usually do at dentist. Clean and safe work environment. The employees had smiles and they looked happy to be at work. Everyone was very knowledgeable and respectful. Dr. Selma explained the whole process. No one tried to talk me into a procedure that I wasn't there for. The best thing; the cherry on top was the affordable price. Thank you, Dr. Selma, Hema, Kimberly and all the rest of the staff who made ​this a wonderful experience. read more

Not only are the Dentists knowledgeable and kind, the staff is outstanding. Always nice, helpful and quick. Been coming here for over 5 years! Totally recommend. read more

It's so hard to find a good dentist. I can honestly say that I love this place. The staff is lovely and friendly. Best of all they accept my insurance hehe! DENTIST Dr.Patel is so nice!!!! Pretty cute too so hey that's always a perk. I've gone twice and he was very professional, fast, and witty. I'm not scared of going to the dentist. I know a lot of people are so if this is you please stop by. They will make sure you are comfortable throughout your visit. I went in for a cleaning and to have to fillings done. It went by so quick!! DENTAL HYGIENISTS I've had such a fun time chatting with these ladies. They have wonderful bedside manners and made me feel welcome and at ease. They are the best!!! RECEPTIONISTS This is just my experience ok. It may not be yours. This place is very busy and it's usually just two of them. I know they are very stressed out and are just trying to keep it all together. I just felt like they were really rude. They don't make eye contact and just type away. They want you in and out and on to the next. I get it ok!!! I'm just saying my first time here I felt really intimidated and uncomfortable. Luckily the rest of the staff made up for it. Y'all are still the best and I know how hard y'all work. This is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. PARKING It's free and there are a ton of spots so don't worry about what aspect. PRICES If you have insurance no problem. If you don't I guess just expect the normal prices depending on the work you're getting done. They are very upfront about them. I'm insured through MetLife. I had a really hard time finding a dentist when I moved to south austin because no one took MetLife *crying emoji* Overall I love this place and I'll keep stopping by. I should probably schedule my next appointment actually... read more

I love Dr. Sama and the Vida team. They are thorough, explain each step of the process, and collaboratively approach treatment plans. Dr. Sama is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. They also take you back pretty quickly, so I've never had to wait more than a few minutes. I would highly recommend this office! read more

Just completed my deep teeth cleaning which had to be broken up into two separate appointments, and all I can say is I'm annoyed it took me so long to come to this excellent dental clinic! The front office staff are all very kind and helpful. Massive highlights are the wonderful Nina and Brittany. Both made me feel really comfortable (I avoid the dentist like the plague and the state of my teeth prove that) and Brittany really took the time to explain everything to me and offer great advice. I wasn't made to feel ashamed for how bad my teeth had gotten, which is something that has happened to me in the past which definitely adds to the anxiety of it all. Instead, I've left with a MUCH better mouth and I feel really happy and confident in my new dental care practice, cause I never ever wanna have another deep clean! Thanks so much to everyone at Vida. Stop looking and just book your appointment here! read more

Very friendly! I don't go to the dentist often and they weren't judgmental, they kindly helped me with my issue and came up with a treatment plan. They took time to explain everything and I will be using them for my primary dentist! read more

Really enjoyed my visit to Vida dental. Dr. Patel was wonderful to meet and easy to talk to, which was great for my anxiety. They were honest but kind in delivering their analysis of what I'd need done. Considering I haven't been to a dentist in like 10 years, it was great getting such a pleasant discussion instead of a lecture. Will likely continue to do my dental work at Vida dental. Nina was great at prepping me for the hygienist, as well. read more

Great care. I was visiting from out of town and not a regular patient. I was in a great deal of pain and they saw me quickly. The office is very well kept, clean, and organized. Would have them as my primary if I lived here full time read more
