I am in a desperate search for a dentist in the Georgetown,Leander, Cedar Park area that will not torture you when giving shots or performing simple work like fillings or crowns. My last two dentist gave shots directly into the nerve which is worse than childbirth pain or mutilated my mouth while working on fillings where I need to be on Advil for three or more days.

I am new to Texas but I have never experience dental problems or pain with dentist in my previous state. please send recommendations.

What can I do next?

I highly recommend Dr. Jonathan Tucker in Leander. His office is on Crystal Falls Parkway between 183 and 183A.
10703 E. Crystal Falls Pkarway Leander Tx, 78681 phone ###-###-####. He is in the process of completing a crown for me and has been more gentle with my mouth than other dentist. Good Luck and welcome to Texas.

I really like Dr Sandra Swanson. Location 620 & 1431 next to HEB. She is really great. I used to hate the denist and had the bigger dentist groups tell me I had all kind of things wrong with my teeth. She is very honest about what needs to be done. My daughter also does not mind going to the denist anymore. The phone number 13 ###-###-####. Good luck.

Our family loves Dr. Karen Naples.She is in Cedar Park. She has an all female staff, and they are very attentive and kind. My ten year old has had to have a filling and not one tear from pain. They have the massage pads in the chairs and after any kind of "messy" treatment (were water flies on your face), they give you warm towels, and just really treat you great.
Welcome to Texas and good luck!

Hi! I changed dentist about 5 yrs ago (before I thought I loved my dentist of 10 yrs Dr. Jordan until they started charging double what they use to for things). About 3 yrs ago they build a awesome office, now I see why they started charging double. Anyhow I changed dentist to my husbands family dentist of 30 yrs Dr. Tenbrook in Jonestown TX on 1431, the ph is ###-###-####. The whole office is very, very nice they charge less than anyone I know of (we don't have insurance) and they provide very good quality work, honest work. They don't have a glamorous office or equipment it's more 80's style but it's clean and works great. Have you ever found a dentist that doesn't charge much and is honest? My husband went to one of these Capital dentist about 7 yrs ago when we lived further in Austin. They told him he had 7 cavities.... He thought no way! He when to Dr. Tenbrook and found that he really only had 2. Several yrs ago I went to a dentist that advertised a free teeth whiting kit with an exam and cleaning. Yea I went, it was a dentist owned, not a capital dentist type place... they told me I needed a crown and several cavities filled. Mind you I went to the dentist ever 6 months, my next visit I went back to my old dentist Dr. Jordan, I didn't need any of that work! Anyhow, Dr. Jordan is a good dentist he just got a little money hungry. Dr. Tenbrook is very fair and wonderful! (he even works with people that don't have insurance, a friend said he let her pay for a crown over a yrs time. And she said he has a handful of elderly that he allows to bring pies or pay what they can or nothing) Sorry to run on... A person much less business man like Dr. Tenbrook is rare you should try him out. If you don't mind paying more Dr. Jordan is honest and does great work. Best to you!

There is a wonderful Dentist in LIbery Hill; I live in Leander; so driving down 183 and a few miles left on 29 is no big deal. Dr. West at West Family Dentistry - she is so sweet. # ###-###-#### - I have had more trouble with my mouth than I can even detail here. Crowns and root canals; broken crowns that had to be sledge hammered out; my nerves take such a beating, and any more I have to take advil for several days no matter what - except for cleanings. Anything in my mouth is so sensitive. She always makes sure I have plenty of novocane - I have been to probably 15 different dentists...and I have a small mouth; I just don't know if there is anyone who DOESNT'T mutilate your mouth - but she has never hurt me. I wore braces in my early 40's; had beautiful teeth afterwards that didn't even need whitening....then I got extremely stressed over one of my kids and ground all my enamal off. brother. good luck.

Dr. Lowery at Avery Ranch Dental is the best! The office is at Parmer and Avery Ranch BLVD. Dr. Lowery has been put to the test with my 11 year old daughter who had a bad injury to her teeth...she passed with flying colors! My daughter had had to have more shots than I can count and Dr. Lowery has done them without her wincing at all. I can't say enough about how great she is! Good luck!

I go to Whitestone Dental in Cedar Park. It is on 1431 (I think that part of 1431 is called Whitestone Blvd.) (if you are coming from 183 you will see the entrance on Wal-Mart on the right and then there will be a center turn lane, you will turn right) I just had work done and was very pleased. She numbed the area before she gave the shots. I hate going to the dentist but told her it was one of the best experiences that I've had with a dentist. Their number is ###-###-####. I hope this helps!

Me & my husband have used this dentist for ~5 years and we both like him. He's very gentle and a good sense of humor (which is good to reduce stress levels associated with a drill going in your mouth).

They're not north, but they are totally worth the drive. His name is Dr. Dan Matthews and I would drive to another city for him! Everybody in the office is delightful and accommodating. It's like visiting a spa not a dentist. I have never been in pain in his office. THey are off 2244, but really and truely they are worth the drive. Easily the best and most gently dentist around!

A great dentist in Cedar Park is Dr. Farst. He is very gentle and does excellent in giving shots. Most of the time you don't even feel them. I am a dental hygienist and I have worked for him for 12 years and still love it. My whole family goes to him and he is great with the kids too.
