Great experience! Everyone was very nice and my teeth cleaning was well done. I really enjoyed my hygienist, Holly who took care of my teeth and was very sweet. Dr. Brent Fossum was also very nice and spent time answering all of my questions. Austin Family Dentist is my new go to for cleaning and regular checkups.

Hadn't been to the dentist in about a year due to insurance changes but Brent and his team were awesome! My hygienist (I can't recall her name - sorry!) was great and explained everything she was doing so I was very comfortable. They had a TV so I could watch while she cleaned/X-rayed, which was pretty cool. Brent was personable and knowledgeable as well. Everyone here was fantastic!

This was my first visit. The entire staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming. My appointment was right on time (not even a couple of minutes late) and was completed promptly. I have a follow up appointment scheduled with them in two weeks and I'm for once not dreading a Dentist visit. These guys know exactly what good service is.

They were accommodating when I ran late due to traffic. Exam was thorough. Offered to numb my teeth when I said I had sensitivity.
