Need a Great Dentist

Hi Moms,
We are new to the Round Rock area and today I went to a HORRIBLE dentist. This guy had ZERO bedside manner. I need to have a couple of fillings and refuse to go back to this guy. So, I'm looking for a gentle dentist who will treat me like a real person. I prefer in the RR, Cedar Park, North Austin area, but am willing to drive for an amazing dentist. Life's too short to not have doctors that you enjoy going to. Thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

Without a doubt it's Dr. Helen Ragsdale. Someone else recommended her already, but I second that!!

I've been going to her for about 19 years and won't let anyone else touch my teeth. I don't really like the dentist, but she's so gentle. You don't even feel the shots! She's awesome and you won't be sorry you went to her. I've recommended her many, many times and she has about 25 loyal patients from me and other friends of mine who all love her.

Good luck!!

Drs. Slaughter and Estes at Lakecreek Parkway Dental. The whole staff is friendly and professional, and my husband, who is definately "hesitant" about dentists says they're pretty good, too.

They don't accept children under 3, though. But we like the office so much, we're willing to wait so that our daughter can have the same dentist we do.

A bit of a drive for you, but WONDERFUL! Not only is he the best dentist I've ever been to, but I've known him since I was 12 and he's a great person too. The whole staff is so very nice and friendly-worth the trip!

You should give Dr. Neal Shah at Austin Dental Arts a try! He is in the Mopac/2222 area, so a little bit of a drive for you, but I'm confident that you'll find it to be totally worth the drive. He's extremely personable, very gentle and truly gives each patient his undivided attention. Here is the web address:

By the way, I'm his dental hygienist...just wanted to be up front about that.

Welcome to the area! This is a great place to live!

I absolutely love my dentist Dr. Lintakoon. He's in south austin off of Mopac and Bee Caves but definitely worth going. Great dentist and he has a memory like no other. You can go in 6 month later for a cleaning and he can pick up on the conversation where you left off. I've been going to him now for about 8 years and so does everyone in my family (parents, siblings, now my husband, and my son will start going to him pretty soon as well. He takes kids as young as 5. He won't rip you off and pretty gentle. He likes to crack jokes as well. Great atmosphere. I also live in Round Rock but I still will drive down south for my dentist appointments. His staff is great too. His number is ###-###-#### if you are interested.

Dr. Helen Ragsdale
11615 Angus Rd.
Austin, TX
Ph: ###-###-####

She also has an office in Round Rock. I have had horrible experiences with dentists. I've lost a tooth due to a root canal that wasn't capped. I've been told I needed fillings when I didn't.

Dr. Ragsdale and her staff are warm, friendly and do everything they can to make the experience as pleasant as possible.

I needed a periodontal cleaning and they gave me booties, blankets, glasses to block the light and encouraged me to bring headphones.

Her chairs are all in rooms for privacy. You see the same technician every time so you have a chance to develop a personal relationship.

Good luck!

I can not brag enough about my dentist and his entire office. I have never NEVER waited more than 10 minutes to be seen, he has meet me on the weekend when my temporary crown fell out and not charged me and I have never even been a tiny bit miffed with anyone there. I have been going to them for about 10years, so does my husband, and now my kids. I live in NE RR and tried to find someone new when I moved up here b/c I used to live in S. Austin and that's where he is but I learned it is worth the drive 2-3x a year, besides it is very close to Central Market where I love to shop. Dr. Baines ###-###-####. You have a lot of referrals, but I couldn't pass up the chance to brag on them. I get frustrated with other dr.'s now b/c I know that a long wait and impersonal service is not "how it is" or at least how it has to be. Good luck wherever you go.

Hi N.,

We have liked Dr. D'Abadie and all of the other dentists with Advanced Dental Care - they are all very nice, from the receptionist to the hygienist to the dentist and very careful and gentle. They are on McNeil between Parmer and 183. Here's their website: www.advanceddentalcareofaustin.com

Looks like you have a few suggestions - hope you find one that fits your needs -
