Cosmetic and restorative dentistry on W 38th, Austin
Smyleee Rating
Outstanding
Austin City Dental is a two-dentist practice on West 38th Street in west Austin, led by Dr. Steve Cook and Dr. Melissa Hernandez. The clinic handles the full continuum from preventive care to comprehensive cosmetic and restorative work, with technology and material options that lean toward modern alternatives — zirconia and E-Max crowns, KöR whitening, laser dentistry, and Bioclear restorative work — rather than relying solely on traditional approaches.
For preventive care, the team handles dental exams, cleanings, digital X-rays, sealants, gum disease therapy, and night guards for patients with bruxism or grinding habits. Cosmetic dentistry covers Invisalign clear aligners, KöR teeth whitening, dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and the Bioclear method for closing gaps and rebuilding worn teeth. Restorative work includes dental crowns in zirconia, porcelain, and E-Max materials, fillings, dental bridges, inlays and onlays, dental implants, and full-mouth reconstruction for patients with broader structural concerns. Laser dentistry, dental emergency care, nitrous oxide sedation, and oral sedation are also part of the in-house service mix.
If you want a west Austin practice with two dentists, modern materials for crowns and veneers, and sedation options for the harder appointments, this fits.
The practice keeps weekday hours from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, which is a tight schedule but works for patients who want appointments earlier in the day. Most major dental insurance is accepted and the team walks through the cost picture for cosmetic and reconstructive work before any tooth is prepared. Searches that bring patients here include cosmetic dentist near 38th Street Austin, zirconia and E-Max crowns in west Austin, full-mouth reconstruction with sedation dentistry, KöR whitening in 78731, and laser dentistry near central west Austin. The practice suits patients who want material and technology choices laid out clearly — and who appreciate when the conversation about a crown includes the option between zirconia and porcelain rather than just "the material we use."

This is hands down the best dentist office ever. The front desk staff are incredibly friendly, responsive, thorough--you can always reach them and get a question answered or appoint changed without hassle. Dr. Cook and all of his dental professionals (hygienist, Invisalign experts, etc.) are friendly, knowledgeable, punctual and professional This office is a well-oiled machine, the entire staff takes pride in getting you in and out promptly--I have never waited more than a a few moments to be taken back or seen by Dr. Cook/the hygienist. It's clear the entire time really values their patient's time to the highest degree
My first visit to Dr Cook and it was a pleasure. The office staff and the doctor made me feel extremely comfortable (I am a very nervous patient because of an incident in my childhood). I am normally anxious about going to the dentist in general, but today I had none of that anxiety because of the excellent care and attention by this office. I would strongly recommend Dr Cook to anyone interested in a new dentist!
I have been going to Austin City Dental for over 6 years. Dr. Cook and his team are incredible, the practice is spotless, All the staff members are unbelievably kind and welcoming. I drive over an hour to get dental work done at this practice, it’s that good.
Dr Cook is fantastic. A highly skilled practitioner who cares about you as an individual and focuses on giving you the most appropriate, cutting-edge care for what you need without pushing anything that you don’t. His staff is organized, attentive and always makes you feel seen and cared for. I highly highly recommend!
Dr. Cook and his staff were very pleasant and professional, and I’m very much appreciated visiting their office. They were able to confirm I received some bad advice from another dentist office and I immediately switched to Dr. Cook. I need to update my review to A++. I recently visited (2/17/26) Dr. Cook’s office to have some bonding on my front tooth replaced. It was a full hour in the chair. The good Doc delivered a totally amazing replacement. I am stunned how good it looks. Prefect on all fronts. And he was very particular on the work and extremely detailed. He wanted perfection and delivered. Bed side manner was perfect; he checked in with on occasion but focused on my tooth. Professional still exists! His staff was great as well. I have found a new Dentist - maybe the best one yet!
