Ueckert Dentistry

Well, long story short ... broke the two top front teeth when I was 8 years old. Got caps, several times ...50 years later they have to be replaced with implants and PERMANENT, for the rest of my life and eternity, pieces of artwork that will show front and center every time I smile. What an artist Dr. Greg is! What a gentle loving staff and environment! Every one of the professionals (they are all professionals)! in this practice have my vote as greatest dentist office team EVER! I actually miss them between visits! I'm ecstatic about my new smile!

I have seen Dr. Ueckert and Bruce Christiansen for TMD related issues on and off for several years, including getting an occusal mouthguard. However, Dr. Ueckert is also a general dentist as well.

I have continued to be very pleased by the cordial and professional nature of the entire team at this practice. Mouthguard wasn't cheap, but very good lasting quality. It will be 3 years old as of Sept. Still in great shape, though needed an adjustment or two.

They are not in network with insurance companies, but they will do their best in meeting your financial limits.

Highly recommended

The hygienist did a superb job at prophylaxis and in updating my health record. She told me several reasons why flossing was essential- in spite of a recent report that there was no evidence that flossing was effective in reducing decay. She and Dr. Ueckert reviewed with me the additional procedures that was recommended in order to prevent tooth problems in the future. People in this office are very proactive.

Dr Ueckert & his staff are wonderful! Always smiling & positive. They make an effort to know everyone’s name & it’s a personal experience every time I go in. Best of all, they are AWAYS on time; I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my appointment. Highly recommend this practice to anyone!

I went in for a scheduled cleaning. The staff was very cordial upon my arrival and there was only about a minute of waiting in the comfortable reception area before getting started. The hygienist explained everything she was going to do and was efficient and thorough. Fortunately there were no major issues and the next cleaning was scheduled before I left the office. The staff took care of all the insurance filing and I left with a gift bag of dental products. Very nice.

Absolutely the best dental office in town! The staff is helpful, friendly and always smiling.The office is clean and bright. Dr. Ueckert is excellent at what he does, I can’t believe I’m not suffering from the pain of TMD anymore! Everything about this office is perfect. Go there!

I try Dr. Ueckert after listening to them on the radio. I just wanted a cleaning but they refused and only did a 3hr exam and said I needed all sorts of work done (for another $1200). My previous Dentist I had for 10 years, never even hinted about all this extra work.

After the exam, I got a bill for $12. I have good insurance (Blue Cross) and they typically cover 100% of a exam and cleaning. But the Insurance company does have a limit and Dr. Ueckert was $12 more then there limit. Why even bother?

Anyways, as I looked into the extra work they suggested it turned out that Dr. Ueckert is more expensive for all procedures and the amounts that I saw seem very reasonable. No wonder Dentist make a ton of money. They over charge there patients.

Needless to say I am searching for another Dentist. I should have known better. I guess they have to pay for the radio ads somehow..

As part of my orthodontic treatment, a few teeth needed bonding so I was sent to Dr. Ueckert for this. I thought Dr. Ueckert did a great job and I'm happy with the results.

I will agree with a previous reviewer and say that the staff could be a bit better. After removing those really uncomfortable stretchy things in my mouth to take pictures, the lady went to upload the photos to the computer. Before checking to make sure they uploaded correctly, she deleted the photos from the camera. We all know where this is heading...yep - photos didn't upload correctly so once again, they had to shove those insanely uncomfortable cheek stretches in my mouth to get photos taken.

This time the photos uploaded, thank god! The woman put them up on the screen and told me Dr. Ueckert would see me in a moment. While I was waiting, I turned around to check out the photos of my teeth. Hmmm. That's weird. I know I'm in the midst of ortho and my teeth are changing, but I didn't realize my teeth looked like that? I got out of the chair for a closer look...oh wait, it's because THOSE AREN'T MY TEETH. Oopsies.

Dr. Ueckert came over and began looking at my teeth pictures - I stopped him and said....yeah, those aren't mine. Thank god I noticed or that day I might have ended up with an unexpected root canal!

With that said - I am really happy with how my teeth turned out and it wasn't all the staff members I had concerns with. In fact, the secretary was extremely kind and I had a great interaction with her. She's super cute, personable and helpful.

Additionally, I wasn't expecting my insurance to cover any of the treatment, but they submitted the claim just in case. It turns out, my insurance actually covered a decent portion, so I'm happy they took the time to submit it.

Dr. Ueckert is the James Brown of Austin dentistry, which is to say he's The Hardest Working Man in Teeth Business. I can vouch for this. I have spent more hours in his chair than I did getting to know my husband before the wedding. (My dental problems run deep.) Most recently, it was something simple (a crown popped off), but Dr. Ueckert's done extensive bridgework for me, and he's realigned my bite with neuromuscular dentistry and fit me with mouth splints and, got me all veneered up and yes indeed, he's drilled and filled an embarrassing number of cavities. But however large or small the problem is, he's treated me the way I wish all health care providers would treat their patients but never do: he listens to my concerns, he explains EXACTLY what's happening as he goes along, he does not rush through the process. He's not a shoddy craftsman. He isn't satisfied with his work until YOU are satisfied with his work. He's prompt and professional and very pleasant. This is the person I'm trusting with sharp tools near my tongue. Chairside manner is important. For that matter the entire staff is friendly and accommodating and I know this is low on the 'how I pick a dentist' list, but Dr. Ueckert plays music as he works and when I was there last I believe it was Bob Wills and Kitty Wells and Hank Williams and even through the dental work (which let's face it, even at it's best is never going to be FUN), he put a smile on me. And, as it happens, a tooth back in me. (Ok, a crown.) I'm sure there are many good dentists in town. But I challenge you to find one as exceptional as Dr. Ueckert. It's not going to happen. Five stars.

This dentistry is simply incredible. They gave me a beautiful new smile, and literally improved my quality of life, forever. I’m so grateful for Dr. Ueckert and his ENTIRE staff, they’re amazing.
