Austin Smile Creations

Absolutely one of the best experiences I have had at a dental office. I was actually reffered in by another doctor who spoke highly of this place. Dr. Gotun takes time with his patients and there was no wait time. I felt as though he explained everything to where I could understand the treatment and he also gave me an outline of what needed to be done. He was able to do everything including braces so I didn't have to go to five different offices which would have cost me a fortune. I don't know where some of the other reviewers were quoting prices but mine were actually half of what I would have spent. I would suggest coming in for anyone who wants great all around treatment and wants to avoid visiting many different offices. Pros: Much cheaper than going to many specialists. Cons: Can't really pronounce his last name. more

Thank goodness Dr. Gotun has no plans to retire anytime soon -- he has kept my family and me in good dental standing for years. Dr. Gotun's dental training and experience are above and beyond what most are willing to do because he enjoys his profession and being of good service to his clients. That's the kind of dentist you want working on one of your major assets - your teeth. Only go to Dr. Gotun if you want the best for your oral health. Pros: Thorough Dentistry by a highly skilled Dentist Cons: It's a little far from home...but worth the trip. more

Dr. Gotun is a fantastic dentist! He has an amazing amount of advanced education, AFTER his dental degree! He is always on the top of the latest developments in dentistry and technology. Totally fascinating, while at the same time he believes in balancing science and nature. He's very high-tech and goes to great lengths to diagnose people properly to deliver not a quick-fix and get you out the door, but to find something that will really work for a long time. This is really the highest quality of service I have ever seen. I can very much appreciate his philosophy - your mouth does not function independently from your body, everything is connected and he believes in finding solutions based on your whole body wellness. He also spends lots of time explaining and educating. Nobody has ever paid so much attention to me and my health! There is nobody else like him. Keep up the good work, Dr. Gotun! You completely changed my attitude to dentistry! Pros: Amazing diligence, perfectionism, educating patients more

I visited this place after reading some reviews in search of a dentist. The staff I spoke with over the phone provided substantially different prices and other information than the staff in the office. Everyone in this place was unfriendly and I am a very nice guy with great insurance. The dentist, Guton, appears to have a foreign educated dentist; however, he may have been required to recieve some education here. My point is his treatment philosophy does not mesh with the normal concept of dental care. I came in for a teeth cleaning and he stated he does not perform this procedure. In addition, he was odd and opinionated. I mean who wants to hear about a guys politics or love life when you are in a dental chair. I left overcharged, and angry. I went to a different dentist the next week for a cleaning. Of course, Gotun had charged my insurance despite my disatisfaction with the service so I paid for the real cleaning at the new dentist out-of-pocket. Pros: Could not think of one in retrospect Cons: You name it and it was bad more

Save your time and money. In my opinion, Gotun is very strange and lacks the necessary interpersonal skills to interact professionally. The office staff failed to follow through with requests and seemed very disorganized. Gotun appears to be foreign educated, at least partially, and it shows in his dental skills. This guy appears to be very profit focused. Again, save your time, money and teeth and avoid this dentist. Also, please be aware that you may file complaints against dentists with the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners. Pros: Close to downtown Cons: Dental Care, Cost, Bad attitudes, Not a normal dentist....this place is odd! more

I am blessed with a hereditary tooth disease that has had me in dentist?s chairs for hours at a time since I was 6 years old. Suffice it to say, I have experienced an array of practice techniques and have personally experienced almost every dental procedure known to mankind? most of them more than once.\r I met Dr. Gotun over 20 years ago and he is simply the best. His passion for health does not end with teeth. His goal is to make each patient?s life better. At the same he is caring for your teeth he looks for signs or indicators in your mouth that may be related to other health issues and alerts you to them. While he is technically proficient in a wide variety of dental procedures, his perfectionism pushes him way over the top for better results that any dentist I know. Education is his biggest asset? both in his personal, ongoing education and in the time he takes to educate his patients on how to better care for themselves. \r The office atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Additionally they are never overbooked causing you to wait for hours. Dr. Gotun values his patients? time as much as his own.\r In summary, Dr. Tor Gotun has my highest personal recommendation. Go see him. You won?t be sorry. I thank God I did and still do after 20 years.\r more

I have been to more dentists and endodontists than I care to admit and when I moved to Austin I had to look for a new one, I found one and wasn't terribly pleased but I just figured HEY, your getting a root canal what?s to like! I have several dental issues that need to be addressed but for whatever reason most dentists shy away from them and just deal with the small picture. I met someone that works for Dr. Guton and was impressed with how passionate she was about his practice so I thought maybe I should give this guy a try. I am so glad that I did! I have never had someone go into so much detail as Dr Guton. He really does look at the overall health over your mouth not just the issue that you came in with, he tries to approach it so that you will not be coming in for those emergency procedures, he wants to get your mouth as healthy as possible. He has a very friendly and welcoming staff who take great care of you even if you are a big baby like me and ask WAY too many questions, they will answer them all with great care and compassion. I look forward to having Dr Guton also take care of my orthodontic issues.\r Other orthodontist weren't as eager to help me because of some of my dental issues, but Dr. Guton is taking all the appropriate steps to get my mouth healthy first and I really appreciate that. A healthy mouth would be nice for a change. He has really taken the fear out of dentistry for me and that is simply amazing, I didn't think it could be done! I recommend him to all of my family and friends something I have never done for someone in the medical profession before. Dr Guton is a very straight shooter, he tells you exactly what you need to do in order to get to your goal of a healthy and or beautiful smile! Pros: best dentist ever, friendly staff, easy to get to off Mopac, comfortable enviroment Cons: didn't met Dr. Guton sooner! :) more

This is a very different dental office. You get lots of information, understanding and attention. It's definitely not overcrowded and you always feel pampered! ""The devil is in the details"" and that's exactly what Dr. Gotun is after. He's very high-tech and thorough. Whatever time and effort it takes to make your smile unique and make you happy - it will be done. It's remarkable that he looks at your dental health as a part of a big picture of who you are, who you want to be and what you want to look like. Nothing is impossible. Simply amazing! I highly recommend him to everybody looking for highest quality, perfection, and the most beautiful natural look that can be created. Pros: Lots of personal attention, everybody connects with you, perfection all around. Cons: None. more

Dr. Gotun is the best dentist that I have ever been too (and there have been many). He is very detailed and thorough in his analysis of the problem. For once, I actually did not mind having my teeth worked on. I no longer shutter when I go to my dentist! ( A first!) I really appreciate the art of dentistry since I have met him. When you visit his office, you are welcomed by his wonderful staff and immediatelly you know you are not in some cookie cutter dental factory. The office is never crowded because he believes in treating one patient at a time. I have sent my wife and mother in law to him and highly recommend that anyone looking for an exceptional dentist to set up an appointment! ~ AR Pros: Experience, Staff, Technique, Compassion more

Dr. Gotun's approach to my TMJ problem went beyond the dental norm. He looked at it at a head problem first, looking at all possibilities. Other dentists wanted to break my jaw. He finally decided on a slow alignment approach. He even sent me to a chiropractor first, just to rule out spinal problems. more

I used to switch dentists frequently, almost every year, mostly because I traveled so much for work. After moving to Austin, my wife convinced me to visit Dr. Guton. From day one, he was concerned with my dental health and well being. He was direct and up front ? it?s always about dental care and well being.\r \r Happy and smiling.\r more
