About Forest Family Dentistry

Forest Family Dentistry is a five-office chain serving Austin and Round Rock since 2013, with the Anderson Lane location on West Anderson Lane in north Austin (78757) being one of its busier neighborhood offices. The practice positions itself around a "less and better" philosophy — meaning fewer, better-thought-through treatment recommendations rather than running through every possible procedure. Several doctors across the chain hold certified Invisalign specialist credentials, including Diamond Plus certification, which puts the practice in the top 1% of Invisalign providers nationally.

For everyday care, the team handles routine exams and cleanings alongside the cosmetic and restorative work patients add over time. Cosmetic dentistry covers porcelain veneers, professional teeth whitening, and the cosmetic crowns and bridges patients pair with whitening for a more comprehensive smile refresh. Orthodontic treatment is a particular focus given the practice's Invisalign credentials, and 3D digital scanning generates smile previews so patients can see the projected end result before committing to clear aligner treatment. Routine restorative work — fillings, single crowns, and the smaller restorations that come up over years of regular visits — is handled at the same office.

If you are researching Invisalign and want a north Austin practice with top-tier provider certification rather than a general dentist who occasionally does aligners, this fits.

The Anderson Lane office is one of five Forest Family locations across Austin — including Burnet Road, Eastside, Research Boulevard, and Round Rock — so a patient who moves across town can transfer between offices without re-establishing care from scratch. Searches that bring patients here include family dentist near Anderson Lane Austin, Diamond Plus Invisalign provider in 78757, dental veneers and cosmetic dentistry in north Austin, dental crowns and bridges with 3D scanning, and a multi-office family dental practice across Austin and Round Rock. The clinic suits patients who value consistent service across multiple locations and the depth of an Invisalign-specialist team.

An Anderson Lane practice in north Austin, part of the Forest Family Dentistry chain — Diamond Plus Invisalign certified, with cleanings, crowns, veneers, and 3D scanning across five Austin-area offices.

Everyone at Forest Family Dentistry is so professional and pleasant to see. They make what is usually a dreaded experience (really, not many people enjoy trips to the dentist, amirite?) as pleasant as possible. Dr Hegwood was fantastic! Brenda (the hygienist) was fabulous! Highly recommend!

It can be very frustrating and scary changing dentists but forest family eased it all from the moment I walked in. The front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming. MJ was very friendly and explained everything she was going to do in detail before she did it. Dr Hegwood was also very friendly and explained everything she was going to do in detail prior to doing it. Thank you guys for being so amazing.

I’ve been a patient here for over five years, and every visit reminds me why I stay. Everyone—from the front desk to the doctors and every team member in between—is consistently gentle, caring, and genuinely welcoming. They make you feel like family the moment you walk in. What I appreciate most is how clearly they explain every step of your care. There are no hidden fees, no surprises, and no pressure—just honesty and compassion. Every procedure I’ve had has been quick, concise, and either painless or close to it. If you have any fear of the dentist, please check this place out. I used to be terrified, and this team helped me overcome that completely. I recommend them wholeheartedly to all my family and friends

I moved from Illinois to Texas last year and I thought that I would never be able to find a dentist like I had back home. Well I didn’t, I actually found a better one! I cannot stress enough about Dr. Mahmud and her staff! I never feel like Dr. Mahmud is ever in a rush to see me and she is extremely gentle and compassionate. Her staff treats you like family and are extremely compassionate as well! Thank you Forest Dentistry for your patience with me and outstanding patient care!

Best dental experience I have ever had! It all starts at check-in and continues to check-out. Manny at check-in recognizes me by name and is super friendly and professional. MJ, my dental assistant, is kind and gentle and puts me at ease over my embarrassment with losing a crown. Her humming to the music relaxed me in a stressful situation. I trust Dr. Helmet’s judgment to make my smile the best and she explains everything in an easy to understand manner. Dr. Helmet took the time to come up with the best solution for my teeth and was friendly and calm. My worries were listened to and I was fit in quickly into the schedule. Affordable, compassionate, and professional—you can’t go wrong with Manny, MJ, and Dr. Helmet!

They were fantastic!! I was traumatized by a horrible and painful experience at Swish Dental last year and afraid to go back to the dentist at all. But everyone at Forest Family was amazing and gentle, taking care when examining and cleaning my teeth, and checking in with me to make sure I was comfortable. I can’t remember my hygienists name but she was lovely and Dr Mahmud was one of the best dentists I’ve seen. She took time to explain everything she noticed during the exam and I felt comfortable asking questions knowing she was giving honest answers. I didn’t feel pressured to commit to any treatments and they clearly explained what things could help and what would be “nice to haves” or purely aesthetic. I will definitely be coming back here from now on!!
