    I am one of those people who dread going to the dentist. I recently started going to Lena and both my experiences were great. She works really fast and does everything she can to make the experience comfortable, always keeping the patient informed about what she is doing. I also love that she always has interesting, useful bits of information to share each visit.

    Very friendly and sweet, she’s knowledgeable and professional while also being personable and having a sense of humor. Calm environment, non-pressured at all, and was able to ask every question I needed and receive answers. A+

    Dr. Lena was very patient, no pun intended. Very comforting and encouraging during my visit. Had to get extra work done but I felt in good hands every step of the way. She made the experience less scary than what I had built in my head.

    Dental Arts by Dr. Salha was a warm, comfortable environment with a welcoming doctor upon intake. She explained everything clearly and allowed me to see the images she took of my teeth and areas to monitor. She was clear about pricing for the visit as well. Would highly recommend!

    She was very nice to talk to and was very knowledgeable. I felt comfortable that she knew exactly what was going on. She has been working in Austin for over a decade. Also there were other satisfied patients I talked to in the waiting room who had been with her for years.

    Very thorough! Most dentists I have been to make the assistants do all the cleaning and just check in at the end but Dr Salha actually did all of the exam and cleaning, and explained what she was doing and why she was recommending certain interventions. Great bedside manner, friendly and personable!

    Dr. Salha is really knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. I was very anxious before this appointment because I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while, but she was incredibly encouraging, the atmosphere was relaxing, and both Dr. Salha and her assistant worked quickly and smoothly, explaining everything and providing a friendly environment. She is helping me deal with several concerns with no judgment and really effective treatment plans. All around great service!

    She is wonderful. I found her to be personable, extremely thorough and explained everything as she worked on my teeth. Afterwards, she went over my x-rays with me & pointed out what needed work and/or treatment. She also went over my insurance with me, and let me know what was covered and what my portion would be in advance.

    Dr. Salha and her staff are amazing. I hadn’t been to the dentist in years and was expecting to be scolded, but instead they were all extremely understanding. I have a lot of work that I need done and Dr. Salha and her dental assistant Lucy were so kind and explained everything. I didn’t feel judged by any means and my questions were all answered directly and honestly. The front desk was easy to work with and responded quickly to everything. I am recommending her to everyone in my family and friend group! I had the best dentist appointment of my life today!

    The office staff was friendly and efficient. The waiting area was tidy and organized and I did not wait long at all. The dental assistant was pretty quick to get through all her tasks including x-rays and arranging things for the dentist. Dr. Salha was very friendly and detailed with her explanation of any issues or concerns and also listened to the concerns I had. I have already scheduled some follow up work and my next cleaning.

    Dr Salha and her staff are very professional and provide an excellent attention. They are kind and detailed when giving you a diagnosis. We are Spanish speakers and have good English knowledge, and they were able to explain in our language what needed to be done and why, while also giving us the estimated cost, before proceeding. We were offered to schedule our follow ups to continue with proper care. I’d strongly recommend it

    Dr. Salha was thorough and fast. For me the fast meant the experience was a little more uncomfortable. I've previously used a dentist who was through but a little slower and that made it less painful. I appreciated her troubleshooting with me alternatives to flossing. The cleaning was handled by the dentist fully, not by a hygenist.

    Dr. Salha is the best. I have high anxiety and I’m terrified of the dental tools, but she and her team are very welcoming and walked me through every step and helped me stay calm through a routine cleaning! I’m definitely recommending her to family and friends. I know I’m making an appointment for my daughter who is just as anxious as I am. Thank you so much for helping me. I love you and your team!!
