About De Zavala Dental
De Zavala Dental is a dental practice on De Zavala Road in the Northwest Side area of San Antonio, Texas. General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

All staff and Dr. I are friendly and I’m sure you love them. They are the best! Please come!!!
This is a five Dentist. I had called the emergency line and the doctor called me back very promptly and they were able to see me next day with my Young child who had to have a crown that was necessary that day. They were very patient and calm with her and it’s been the best. We’re switching my entire family to this practice.
I had a great experience at this dental office. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and my dental hygienist, Brianna, provided a gentle but thorough cleaning. I already have my next appointment booked and will recommend this office to family and friends.
I just starting going to De Zavala Dental, due to a broken molar. They were able to get me in quickly. Everyone I dealt with during my appointment, from the dentist to the dental assistant to the front office were highly professional and helpful. I will definitely be going back--in fact I already have my next appointment. One very small suggestion--I ignorantly went in thinking that I would be done with my appointment within an hour. I will certainly ask going forward--I know it's my responsibility. But they may want to tell the patient how long the procedure will last when scheduling the appointment.
I had an amazing experience at DeZavala Dental, entirely thanks to Yani, the Treatment Plan Coordinator. Medical and dental financials can be incredibly overwhelming, but Yani completely took the stress out of the process.She broke down my treatment plan step-by-step, thoroughly explaining what to expect, outlining my insurance coverage, and presenting clear payment options. Her transparency, patience, and deep knowledge left me feeling completely confident and informed about my care. Beyond her professionalism, she is warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about the patients.If you want a seamless, stress-free dental experience, ask for Yani!
I changed my appointment to 3pm from 4pm. I waited over an hour to be seen. Then they went over a treatment plan with me to where they were going to charge me over $10k all of the mountain this treatment plan didn’t make any sense to me. When I called my insurance BCBS they went over the plan & couldn’t figure out why was I paying out of pocket of an amount of $2200.00 they wanted to balance bill. Means they can charge more as in the insurance pays out the max amount, but the pt is responsible for the leftover balance. My husband and I were like OK we have the money we could just pay it now or we can do CareCredit and do that. But I only went in for a cleaning treatment. Wasn’t even supposed to be a deep clean just a regular basic cleaning and you know the normal x-rays and pictures of my mouth. This dental office went so far by putting all these crazy amount’s on my treatment plan made me a little suspicious but yet they wanted me to fork out and pay out of my own pocket of $2200. That’s absurd I called my old dentist to see what was going on because I just saw my old dentist this year on January 08, 2026. Because he was out of town for quite some time. So when I called and he looked over everything, he said that is crazy. I did your recent. Extraction and they wanna pull out all these teeth charge you for it bill the insurance have you responsible to pay the balance do more treatment no. So my insurance told me yeah NO!!! We have to go somewhere else or back to ur old dentist. So I’m so done with people taking advantage of the insurance claims really! I am a medical biller & coder & dental insurance is a lot different but come on. I got a 2nd Opinion today and nothing to where I’ll be over charged including paying a lot out of pocket! I’m only paying $426.60 out of pocket compared to $2200.00 Eve BCBS was like wow thats crazy! Never again will I go back to these people & will I ever refer nope! A waste of time literally. For all the NEW PATIENTS WATCH OUT be prepared.
Dr. Bednarik and the staff here are fantastic. They are the most friendly, attentive group I have ever encountered at a dental clinic. My dental hygienist Brianna was exceptionally gentle and explained each step before performing it, so there were no surprises at any point. Patricia was also incredibly helpful and answered all my questions thoroughly. After the procedure, she even applied vitamin E lip balm, which is something I have never experienced at a dental office and made me feel genuinely cared for. Dr. Bednarik herself was outstanding. She was patient with my questions and regularly checked in with me throughout the procedure to make sure I was comfortable. This was without a doubt the best dental experience I have had! I cannot recommend them enough.
I have been going here for years! Dr. B is amazing as well as her staff. So compassionate and really care about their patients. They recently went above and beyond for me regarding a root canal. I will never go anywhere else. Highly recommend this amazing office!
Best Dentists and receptionist I've ever been to. They are kind and very helpful. Giving great feedback. I couldn't ask for a better service 💜🫶🏽. Starbucks coffee on me next time 😉.
Best experience I’ve ever had at a dental office. I was having so much tooth pain, and Dr. Blaess was so gentle. I was extremely nervous to see a dentist, but Dr. Blaess and her assistant Trish made me feel so comfortable. I would recommend DeZavala Dental and all my friends and family.
The entire visit to De Zavala Dental was amazing. I had an emergency issue. Dr. B was so calm. Her & her staff were professional while also kind and truly caring. Between Dr. B and her staff, I know where my complete dental status stands. There is a plan for the next steps in having a healthy mouth. Knowing my oral health is in good hands, has given me peace of mind. I highly recommend De Zavala Dental to everyone.
