Practice Profile Page

Michael A. Elgin, TXI highly recommend Austin Artistic Dental, if you’re looking for a great experience. Dr. H, has given me a reason to smile. He took the approach of getting my teeth healthy, I wanted more cosmetic done. I’m thankful that he put a realistic plan on how to get to where I am today. I’m healthier, eating better and happier because I can smile! The staff are great, I think the entire office are as excited to see the results as I was. They made it an experience not just a visit.

To begin with the portal for documents is excellent. It is easy to navigate and user friendly. The system also sends a text reminder of the upcoming appt the actual DAY of the appt not days before which is exactly what I need. Upon arrival the front staff was focused on safety protocols but also welcoming and friendly. The hygienist and Dr. are thorough in their explanations of every step they are taking and do so in a way that is understandable and friendly. The overall professionalism and friendliness of the entire office is quite welcoming. This is such a great team .. you can see and feel they enjoy their job.

This is the best dentist I have ever been to! They got me in same day when I was having an unbearable toothache. For that I cannot thank them enough- was going to be in for a very painful weekend otherwise. Very nice, personable, and attentive staff who always made sure I was comfortable (the tvs on the wall and ceiling also help). Dr Hulse took the time to explain everything to me, answering all my questions (not making me feel stupid when I didn’t know or gave wrong answers to his ) and made sure I understood what he was saying and what the next step was. Their payment system is very flexible too, offering payment plans for out-of-pocket treatments. They offer an array of dental services- I highly recommend them if you are looking for a dentist in South Austin!

I found Austin Artistic Dental after finding that I needed a good bit of work done and, unfortunately, was currently without insurance. After some serious searching for a quality dentist (I felt I could trust), looking at a lot of reviews, and even looking at my options for paying for dental insurance, I actually chose to take their in-house dental plan, which was very worthwhile and ended up saving a great deal of the cost. Now that the work is done, I couldn’t be happier. I’m still convinced I made the right choice going with Dr. Hulse and the entire group at Austin Artistic Dental. They are terrific people, were extremely helpful and willing to work with me to get it all done, and Dr. Hulse even helped to take care of some work my mother needed done (i.e. I took my mother to him..what does that tell you!) The office is excellent, up-to-date technologically, and you won’t be disappointed. Wherever I may be in Austin, I’ll drive to Austin Artistic Dental for anything I may need done in the future. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Hulse is a fantastic dentist. He is professional, warm and is skilled at doing his work. I had two dental implants completed. The procedure was quick and painless. I am always nervous and apprehensive when I go to the dentist, Dr. Hulse calmed me down and explained the procedure to me step by step so I knew what to expect. After consulting with several dentists before my procedure I am glad I chose him. I definitely will have other dental work completed at his office.

I would like to thank Dr Hulse and his most professional and highly trained staff. They have gotten me through some tough dental issues. The results are painless and consistent. This office is friendly and fun! Over many years, I have visited several dental practices. I can honestly say that Dr. Hulse is very gentle and has provided the most effective and painless results I have had to date. The office is the most technologically advanced I have ever seen. The entire staff is a proficient in their skills. There is a comforting, friendly, and encouraging environment here. They will go out of their way to make your dental experience painless and comfortable. The results FAR exceeded my expectations

Another year has gone by since my last review of Dr. Hulse and his practice and that just means it is time to once again sing the praises of this place and tell EVERYONE how awesome I think they are. I know it is weird going on and on and on about a dental office. You know, that place that no one ever really wants to visit and that costs too much because dental insurance never wants to cover much. But let me tell you… my teeth look AWESOME. And trust me, it has taken Dr. Hulse a lot of time and effort to get my mouth looking the way it does. (And he and his staff also put up with all my complaining and high maintenance ways). For years I either went to sub-par dentists or none at all because I was broke, lazy or just scared to go. I have been a patient at Austin Artistic Dental for over 4 years now and Dr. Hulse has had to fix what others did a not so great job of, as well help me address my own not so great oral hygiene practices. And he and his staff have consistently done this with patience, kindness, and a LOT of skill and talent. This past year I had my teeth bleached using the Kor Whitening and finally had an old crown replaced that had a gap that I looked at in EVERY single picture taken of me because it was in the front of my mouth. I hated it. After years of fixing dental issues Dr. Hulse finally got it all done and my teeth look great. I am SO happy and I don’t worry what my teeth will look like in pictures anymore. In a nutshell, this place rocks. Dr. Hulse is amazing. His staff are fantastic. I still don’t like “going to the dentist” but I sure do like coming here!

I highly recommend Austin Artistic Dental and Dr. Hulse. Dr. Hulse is clearly as expert in his field and does better work than any dentist I’ve visited in the past. He’s been a pleasure to work with. Each time I visit, I know that I am going to walk out the door with the best possible results. In my opinion, culture and kindness are equally as important as expertise. The staff at Austin Artistic Dental are professional, but personable. They treat their patients with respect, understanding, and caring. In short, I encourage anyone looking for a dentist in the Austin area to consider Austin Artistic Dental.

I’ve been putting off going to the Dentist for years. After months of research I finally came across Austin Artistic Dental. I was impressed by how informative and easy their website was to navigate through. You can tell they spent time thinking about what their potential customers would want and need from a website. Every question I had, the website answered and elaborated on every detail. They offer NO CREDIT CHECK payment options. This was a huge factor in me having to wait for dental work. They make it affordable and offer a few options. Now, I feel more people will be able to achieve a healthy beautiful smile. I appreciate the Dental Savings Plan they have as well, for uninsured people. Overall, 10/10 experience.

Hands down best dental experience I’ve ever had. Everyone there is welcoming from start to finish. They are extra professional and they also have TVs with Netflix and YouTube for you to watch while you’re getting treated. I would highly recommend to anyone who is not the biggest fan of going to see the dentist. This place will change your outlook on that, it definitely has for me.

Work Done: Bioclear (Removing “Black Triangles” between teeth) End Result: Flawless (I did the happy cry in my car afterwards) Before I had gone to Austin Artistic Dental, I had braces for 4 years in middle school to high school and had my teeth moved significantly in order to make them straight, worked out really well. What I did not know was that when your teeth have to be adjusted to that extent, SOMETIMES you get gum recession down the line. Unfortunately I had gum recession to the point I had big black triangles between my front set of teeth. I didn’t want to smile to my fullest anymore and trained my upper lip to press against my teeth when I smiled, always holding back. I’m an EXTREMELY social person and in college, I’m on that Great Gatsby life right now. I eventually got the courage to ask lots of dentists in San Antonio where I live near. I spoke with four dentists that claimed to be specialists in cosmetic dentistry and all of them told me I had to speak to another dentist (obviously their friends) or tried to up-sell me with extravagantly priced gum grafting/full teeth removal that wouldn’t of solved my issue, but completely ignoring my concerns and just trying to squeeze money out of me in my desperate state, similar to a car salesman. “There’s no other way to fix this.” They said… On the brink of giving up and conceding with my black triangle issue I googled vigorously late at night and came across a method called “Bioclear” which was offered in Los Angles. I checked if anyone in Texas offered this service and lo and behold Dr. Hulse was masterfully trained in the technique. A 2 hour car drive is well worth the results I gained from his services. I’ve now made Austin Artistic Dental my primary dental care provider. The staff are amazing and treated me like life-long friends that you just saw yesterday upon my first visit. Dr. Hulse talked to me like a close friend that cared and didn’t try to up-sell me or take advantage of me in my desperate state. I was still skeptical at the time but he reassured me and showed me TONS of before and after photos of his past patients that also had my issue. Their office is clean and has high grade equipment and creature comforts from complimentary toothbrushes all the way to wall/ceiling mounted TVs you can watch anything on Netflix while you get work done. My treatment took 3 hours to complete and I felt like he put his life and soul into his work on my teeth when he was operating. Just so you know the needles he uses to inject the numbing agent into your gums are designed to vibrate so it doesn’t hurt when he does it! After my treatment was complete I climbed back into my car and set off to head back to my little town for the 2 hour drive. That’s when it hit me… I was at a stop sign in the parking lot and checked my teeth in the mirror. They were perfect, natural looking and beautiful and I finally understood that I get to have this amazing smile and confidence back that I used to have. I wasn’t a prisoner of my smile anymore and I get to take my new smile back home (and get to talk to a cute girl at school with 100% confidence now). I cried for 30 minutes on the way home in my car because I was so overjoyed with the results. Dr. Hulse personally called me to check on me and make sure I was happy and even gave me his personal cellphone number in case I have any major concerns. Everyone was so polite to me and they all understood that I lived so far away that they were okay with me staying longer so I could make sure there wasn’t anything that needed adjusting before I started my long trip back home. Very considerate, all of them. When you’re treated like a friend after many other dentists treat you like a walking sack of money, it’s hard not to recommend Austin Artistic Dental with all my heart and soul. Bonus: One of the staff members I never met were walking out to lunch while I was in the waiting room and stopped at the door and looked at me and smiled “Eric, right? Nice to see you.” then waved goodbye. I was floored that she knew my name. I cried again writing this review. My goodness, please give them a call and set an appointment, they are not just great people, they are masters of dentistry.

I have been going to Austin Artistic Dental for several years and have been very happy with my dental outcome (crown, filing, cleaning, whitening).  They have state of the art equipment that makes the experience relaxing and comfortable.  I love seeing the TV screen on the ceiling with headphones on to distract what is going on in the office.  I also like the benefit of having their own system that offers continued dental care affordable.  I refer all my friends to them.

Dr. Hulse and his team are, hands down, the best dental experience I’ve ever had. My husband and I have been going here for over a year and we have never had a bad experience. From the time you make an appointment, the front office staff is friendly and thorough. My appointments have always started exactly on time, and I LOVE my dental hygienist, Kaylee. She is the perfect balance of professional, knowledgeable, and friendly – always recalling specific details about our conversations over my 3 cleanings with them. The facility itself is beautiful; the waiting area is comfortable and the rooms are even better (wireless headphones, TV with subscriptions to Netflix, etc… and even TVs on the ceiling so you’re not bored when you’re reclined during the dental work). They’re also super honest and up front about pricing. With past dentists, I always received “estimates” and just prayed that I could afford the final bill. At Austin Artistic Dental, I’ve never had a procedure done that I didn’t know the final price for before the service was even performed. This was actually one of the reasons I was looking for a new dentist (another dentist in the SPM center told me my x-rays were covered by insurance, performed full scans, and then billed me for them after learning that too little time had elapsed since my last scan). The management of the office is clearly spot on; yes, Dr. Hulse is a great dentist – but the entire experience is honest and warm. It is clearly important to them that they build trust and long-lasting relationships with their clients. Count me in for that!

I had a really great experience at Austin Artistic Dental. I went in for a cleaning that I purchased on living social. The office staff was really great at fitting me in and working with my schedule. The text/email reminders were also helpful. I was impressed with the knowledge that I received when Dr. Hulse was talking to me about the cavities he had found. The x-rays and pictures he took showed me clearly what he was talking about. The office was nice enough to find a time for me to come in the following week to get the work done before I left on a trip out of the country. I was really nervous about the procedure because I’ve had several bad experiences in the past. However, the staff was very patient and understanding with me. Before I knew it, we were done and I was out of there. Relatively little pain! If I couldn’t have smiled I would have, but my mouth was numb and it was impossible! 🙂 Thank you for such great dental care! If I am ever back in Austin, you can count on me to return for another cleaning. Hopefully this time there won’t be any cavities. 🙂

I loved how informative my consultation was. I’ve felt most places in the past have just told me their recommendations where here, as a new patient, it was really nice being walked through everything he/they were noticing in so much detail. Very friendly and welcoming staff. I’m personally looking forward to my dental corrections and would highly recommend here.

Great experience at Austin Artistic Dental, if your looking for a dentist Dr. Hulse is very personable and kind, he takes his time with you explaining your dental health, if you need a procedure done, he makes sure you fully understand what needs to be done and why. His staff from the front office to the dental assistants and hygienist are very friendly and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk into his clean, state of the art dental office.

I went in last week to pick up my first trays fo my Invisalign process ( I did not continue wearing my retainers over the years and a few teeth shifted). Dr. Hulse is actually beginning to wear them, too, and I think it is fantastic that he shares his first-hand knowledge of what to expect. The visit started with a warm greeting when I arrived and another great visit throughout. When Dr. Hulse walked me up to the front at the end of my appointment he showed me a computer generated process of exactly how my teeth will move with each set of trays from beginning to end. Very cool! I cannot recommend this practice enough, they staff are wonderful and the facility and services are top notch. If you do not look forward to going to the dentist, then I encourage you to make an appointment at Austin Artistic Dental right now. They make a huge difference in the entire experience.

I am leaving a review because I have never experienced a dental visit like this. I moved from San Antonio to Austin recently and my filling from my previous dentist popped out. I was originally going to drive to San Antonio to my dentist, but they wouldn’t see me for another 5 days (with 2 holes in my teeth). So I saw this place had good ratings and didn’t research like I normally do and just trusted the ratings. This place blew my mind and went way beyond my expectations. It was like a spa visit at the dentist! You’re probably thinking who in the hell would say that, but I swear it is! They gave me a warm pillow, offered me water, immediately gave me glasses to shield anything flying into my eyes, and even had netflix for me to scroll through to watch whatever I wanted! I don’t know about y’all, but my previous dentists have only had video games for kids and nothing for adults. They give you headphones while they work on your teeth that are connected to the TV so you don’t have to hear the tools. Also, I have generalized anxiety disorder and they were asking me lots of questions regarding it to make sure I was comfortable and no dentist has ever asked about my condition whatsoever other than on the paper you fill out. I’m sure I’m not even covering everything. Thank you guys for being so great!

The best dental experience I have ever had. First of all, the staff are very friendly and will make you feel welcome. They will send you paper work to complete digitally in advance, so it saves your time filling out everything on the spot. As you walk in, there is coffee and water at the front desk. The staff will check with you throughout your appointment to see if you needed water or anything. The place is super thoughtful, there is 1 TV in front of you and 1 TV over your head just so time goes by faster when you are in your chair for too long. Blankets are available by request. The bathroom is clean and filled with floss, toothbrush and toothpaste. Dr. Hulse is extremely knowledgeable, and the equipments they have are high technology that sees every single issue you have in your teeth. If you are worried about teeth, no matter it’s dental health or cosmetic look, Dr. Hustle will get you covered. I haven’t been to the dentist for 2 years, and I avoid it as much as possible because it’s such a vulnerable experience. However, I’ve had the most soothing experience at Dr. Hulse office that I don’t have “dentist” anxiety any longer. Thanks to all the staff and Dr. Hulse for such an amazing dental experience. 🙂
