Where do I begin? Sit tight-this story deserves a moment to read because who doesn't love a happy…read morefairy-tale ending?! I started my "journey" to fix my front tooth at the ripe age of 13. After chipping my front tooth while playing with friends, I was locked in to a long relationship with constant temporary fixes made up of bonding that would naturally yellow, or chip every 2-3 years. Eventually it became obvious that spending $400 out of pocket wasn't the smartest choice which pushed me to exploring a more permanent route: Veneers! I began the search for veneers in the spring of 2022. Getting many quotes, spending many hours to get to (and spend at) these appointments, but feeling very discouraged after consistently being told I would have to "At the very least have all the upper teeth replaced" if not my entire mouth. This came justified that they "would not, and could not match my other teeth with a single veneer!" Who knew single veneers weren't an option? Not me! Still I wasn't sold. Surely someone out there was skilled enough to do it? I was set to find out. Or so I thought... a final pregnancy came and went and in 2026 I was officially done breastfeeding my final child so I decided it was time to finish what I had started! As a stay at home mom with three small boys getting out of the house became an obstacle in and of itself. So like any smart and savvy woman, I chose to scour TikTok to continue my search in finding the best dentist to help fix my smile. Enter: Dr. Byrnes who's video came across my "for you page"... I immediately spotted a free "Virtual consultation" AND her portfolio was flawless. Could this be the unicorn I had been searching for?! I submitted my photos and refreshed my email for the entire next hour. I received a response THAT EVENING! Sure enough Dr. Byrnes recorded my very own consultation stating exactly what she planned on doing! I booked my appointment the very next day. Here's where most unicorn stories go south: arriving to the office. But can I tell you I've never been greeted so warmly by an office staff in my entire life? The whole appointment felt like one giant hug. From the sweetest front desk attendee, to the staff (Ashley is my new bff I'm certain of it) to Dr. Byrnes.. I've never felt so loved and cared for. I immediately knew I made the right choice, with the right people, at the right time. The stars had aligned and Dr. Byrnes was going to fix my front 4 teeth. She even offered in-house financing which made it affordable for my family! Miracles do happen! Dr. Byrnes (aka the perfectionist) went above and beyond to help size my veneers just right. When my temporary's came in i thought i was set on them... then I left my appointment. After looking at them i realized i wanted to change one more thing so i called and she stayed after office hours to wait for me and get exactly right for me. She went literally above and beyond to accommodate my indecisiveness and helped perfect my future smile. I left my final appointment yesterday, and it left me feeling so bittersweet. On one hand I'm so thrilled for my new teeth but on the other-I'm sad to not have any more appointments that felt more like "girl time" than an actual dentist appointment. It is purely an added bonus that Dr. Byrnes is quite literally so skilled at her profession. I'm shocked! How does everyone not know about her?? I'm in LOVE with my new smile. I cannot get over it. I cannot stop smiling!!! I write this review to urge anyone to get past any apprehension you may have to fix your smile. Please hear me when I tell you if you're worried at all-you need to come to Dr. Byrnes. This was the best, most calming, professional, thorough, precise, and organized experience I've ever been through. I cannot recommend her enough and will be coming back here for all of my dental needs. Including my before and after photos. I don't miss that yellow tooth at all

Overpriced, lack of quality, lack of sense of ownership…read more Prior to coming to this dentist, I had temporary crowns installed on some of my teeth. The temps were about a year or so old and in great shape. A week or two after seeing this dentist my crowns came off. No big deal just need to epoxy to put it back on. I never had an issue with my crowns, they fit perfect and the x-rays they took would show exactly that as well. I went in and asked to have them put back on and they were able to bring me back immediately. I was advised $50 and I approved them to continue. The price was not $50 as I found out later through my dental insurance!!! I informed the assistant that the crowns fit great and that everything was fine with them, but they fell out and need to be put back in. She then went to do whatever with the crowns so she could put them in my mouth. She put them in my mouth, applied some pressure and then told me to bite down. As soon as I bit down, I told her something is not right and that they are not seated right and I could not bite down evenly due to the crown preventing. She seemed perplexed and looked in my mouth to see what was wrong. She had me bite down on the blue film so she could see where the contact was being made. I told her again they are not on my teeth right. She then got the drill and proceeded to grind on my crowns. Again, I had no issue with fit or anything with them, I just needed them put back in. We went through 3 rounds of her grinding on my crowns and me telling her that she should not have to do this as they fit in my mouth just fine prior to me coming in. After the third round of grinding away at my crowns, I was able to bite evenly. After she was done, I then went to meet with the staff in the front. I was already not feeling right about what occurred and my crowns felt terribly wrong. The lady at the front even commented about me having concern because I kept rubbing my finger on them. I told her that they don't seem right but I have to leave and get back to work. Two (2) days later, I was eating a cracker and my crowns disintegrated and fell out. I contacted the dentist office immediately and advised of the situation. I was informed I could come in and get new ones in and that they couldn't estimate over the phone to how much they would cost. I have two policies so that I can reduce and eliminate my out of pocket expenses, but so far I have always had out of pocket expenses here. I then found out that one of my policies is out of network at this location. I stated I would have to go somewhere in network. A couple days later I went to speak with the dentist and the billing people. I was unable to speak to the dentist because of the stonewalling as expected. I expressly told the person up front that I felt they were responsible for replacing the crowns due to them damaging them with their drill and after I repeatedly expressed that they fit fine before coming in. I even offered to let them bill my policies for however much they could, but I did not want to pay anything out of pocket. This was my way of meeting them halfway and being kind to let them collect something for the time and materials. She was pleasant, took a picture of the destroyed crowns, and then advised she would speak with the dentist, but she already knew what the dentist would say. (Whatever this meant?). I left and waited approximately a week and a half for a return call. As of this post, I have not received a phone call even after reaching back out to them. I am now out of the thousands of dollars I spent for the crowns, have to take. more time off work again, and pay for new crowns all thanks to the poor care provided and no empathetic concern from the staff.

I moved to Austin in 2013 and it took me a while to find a dentist. I went to Dr. Panahi and my…read moresearch has been long over. I've been going to this office for 4 years now. I have had several procedures including a crown and fillings and I know I am in the highest level of care. The entire staff is on point for every visit. From the dental hygienist to the front desk, they are more than just courteous, they are engaging and remember you. They work with my insurance directly and the best part, they assist with the planning of any procedure both financially and logistically. It is your schedule, your timing. They tell you upfront what's out-of-pocket and what your insurance will cover. There have never been any hidden costs. They are also impressive when it comes to their knowledge and experience working with the insurance companies. I do not have to deal with any of the difficult administration. If you are looking for a dentist in the NW of Austin, I cannot recommend Dr. Panahi and the Lake Travis Family Dentistry enough. It IS as good as it gets!

New to the area, I relied on reviews, which got me to this dentist. First meeting, "none of the…read moreX-rays we got from your out of state dentist were as clear as ours can be". They took a boatload of X-rays. Next issue, you have lots of things that need to be corrected. (Note: It appears somebody wants to put a new pool in their back yard, or pay off their Mercedes). Next, you need deep cleaning. We can do it all. 4 quadrants, fluoride, no problem. By the way, they do Botox treatments too. I decided to go to a periodontist to assess my condition. They contradicted the dental assessment, requiring a lesser amount of treatment. I had that performed successfully. I also got a second opinion at a dentist referred by the periodontist. They evaluated ALL the X-rays collected, and determined only a fraction of Lake Travis Dentistry's "treatment plan" was necessary. It is now over 4 months since my first visit with Lake Travis Dentistry. Today, I received my FIRST statement indicating that I am late on payments (of which I was never notified). Also, the many X-rays which I suggested at the time were excessive, were billed at $39+ each, and not paid by my insurance. I will pay the balance. Hopefully reading this will alert you to be vigilant in your choice of dentist. I don't usually write this type of review unless it is earned.

I have had some discomfort with a molar. Not pain, but pressure when I chewed. It's only been in the last week or two that I've noticed it. Turned out I had a cavity under my crown. So after my cleaning, I went home for a little bit, and went back for the extraction. The little sucker didn't want to come out, but in the end, the dentist won that battle. I was numbed I think 3 times. Usually I can be pretty chill at the dentist, but this time I was crying, and extremely jittery. The assistant got me a blanket and rubbed my arm as the needle went in with the novocain. Once the numbing and needle part was over I was feeling a little more relaxed. It did take some tugging but it came out. I did see it after it was pulled out, molars are big, I can't believe it came out all in one piece. Happy it's over with. But this will be a long process of healing, and then an implant. They are saying about 6 months.

I am someone who already has dental anxiety and white coat syndrome so trust me when i say Lakeway Cosmetic Dentistry and Dr. Dalfanso are the best ones in West Austin and in the entire city, in my opinion. Honestly im so impressed ill just go ahead and say they are the best in all of TEXAS (just being honest...) they make you comfortable so the anxiety fizzles away. If we ever move, I'll fly back to Lakeway for my appointments. Dr. Dalfanso is extremely kind and down to earth (he has great bedside manners which was always important to me when finding the right dentist) and his background is just extremely impressive. I trust his judgment 10000%. I think it's cool how i wanted to find the best cosmetic dentist when we moved to austin and i actually did so now im a patient for life. The entire staff is also SO sweet, and you are getting gold star treatment. I love the whole office too, the vibe and decor feels right and it's comfy in there! They play my fav music and all the people who work there are fun to chat with also!! Dr. D is not only my dentist but my husband and kids also go there so we are all patients now. So, yayyyy for our family lucking out and finding the best of the best I give my review 100 gold stars
