PATIENT REVIEWS

Because of my studies and work, I have lived in several states around the country — from Florida to California — and in each area I have kept up with the family tradition of maintaining healthy teeth through regular checkups and cleanings and, when needed, major procedures. This valuable routine allowed me to evaluate the work of some professionals, leading me to the unequivocal conclusion that Pure Smiles Orthodontics is by far the best dental service I’ve ever experienced. The Austin-based office has been treating me with respect and given me an excellent, virtually painless service, a noticeable departure from other providers. It has been a joy to be under their skilled hands. The staff is simply outstanding, starting with Dr. Silvana Gonzalez (or Dr. G as some of her fellow-workers and even clients call her). She is straightforward, articulate, has a very good ear for patients, and her customers feel wanted and appreciated. In an easy to understand language, she explains the available options and will not cut any corners, even if that means losing the patient. Dr. G understands that not everyone can afford dental treatment, so she’ll do anything and everything within her power to adjust to the person’s finances. Under any scenario, she spares no effort in giving patients the best possible care. The rest of the staff is as equally outstanding and professional as Dr. Silvana Gonzalez. They all follow her lead, creating a good rapport and a trustworthy atmosphere with clients. Overall, I would highly recommend Pure Smiles to anyone searching for a good looking smile. I am going through my second set of braces, and my teeth and face feel and look phenomenal. Thanks Dr. G!!

Pure Smiles Orthodontist blew my mind away with there above and beyond customer service, As soon as I walked in the door I was greated by friendly staff. Dr. Gonzalez, and Sherri are both amazing, Sherri gave me all the info I needed to know. Made me feel so welcome, and took me through the process step by step, Dr. Gonzalez was truly concerned about me and did not look at me like a dollar sign. I will be bringing my family back to them as well and would highly refer anyone to come and see Dr. Gonzalez and Sherri at Pure Smiles Orthodontist. Thanks guys for being so great!!!

This office is the Best in Austin!!! From the super sweet office staff/ortho assistants to the caring, thoughtful Dr. Gonzalez. She has an incredible attention to detail. I have had 3 children in braces here and I also had my own braces from this office as well. She makes sure you are happy with your smile!! They are flexible and work with you financially and with appointments. They are always doing something for their patients, a contest or movie showing. I have never seen a more kind or generous doctors office… I am so happy with my smile, I literally smile all of the time and am very happy with my firstborns smile as well. My other two are still in braces but i can already see how great they are going to both look. Thank you so much!!!! I recommend your office to anyone who will listen.

Dr. Gonzalez is clearly an expert and the all the office and support personnel are as well. The facilities are welcoming and pristine and they work to put you in the best braces for the individual instead of the most expensive option available, a truly wonderful thing. My son gave Dr. Gonzalez two thumbs up after she took care of a couple of problematic baby teeth for him so he could get his braces started during the summer. He has issues with going to the dentist so this is extremely high praise. Honesty, expert care, and a lovely, welcoming space, what more can you want?

Dr. G and her staff are great! They explain the procedures and your plan clearly and I always leave with a good sense of my progress and what to expect going forward. Importantly, I never have to wait long in the lobby for my appointment. They are also very responsive to calls and I’ve never waited more than 24 hours to hear back from them to reschedule. If I’ve called early enough, I usually hear back the same day. The lobby is nice and clean with plenty of toys for kids. Just a really professional practice that I would recommend to anyone.

LOVE this place! From the first time we did the consultation to the putting on of braces (which was yesterday) they were amazing. They just redid their payment structuring that made it so much easier to get braces on my daughter. My insurance paid $1000.00 and then I just needed to put $100.00 down and payments over 36 months. I love that the staff is puro latino and speak in espanol y ingles! My daughter from the start trusted them and they walked her through every step of putting her braces on. They give you a wonderful kit to have with wax, bracket cleaner, toothpaste, mouth wash and more! I would highly recommend this place if your thinking about getting braces 🙂 … I will be apart of this place for the next three years of my life and totally ok with it.

I joined my friend to her dental appointment and it was a great experience very nice and clean office friendly staff and Dr. Gonzalez was amazing, the male assistant that was working on her braces was very attentive and knowledgeable aside from having a great personality thought he was a huge asset to the practice. He told me Dr. Gonzalez would surely help me with my smile as well, talked me into going in for a consultation and will be back to get my braces. Can’t wait I appreciate the time in reducing my anxiety and motivating me to have a perfect smile with such a great Dr. and professional assistant.

Everyone’s so careful and reassuring. When I used to go to the dentist, it seemed scary. They were impatient and somewhat agitated. However, in Pure Smiles you’ll meet the most patient and sweet people. Dr. Gonzalez knows what to do, and when you’re feeling anxious, she’ll assure you that everything is okay, you are in good hands. And we indeed are. I’ve never felt more comfortable in a supposedly scary place. Pure Smiles feels like home and home is where we should be. Also, the braces don’t hurt quite as much. They’re careful about how they put the wires and such. I would say more about braces and the place, but I think I said what’s already on my mind. Pure Smiles is a 10/10.

We absolutely love this place! They are all so friendly, the place is really clean and they interact really well with their patients and parents. Today is my sons birthday and he got extra points that go toward rewards and they surprised him with a gourmet cupcake when he left!! We are so thankful for them. We travel for every appointment from Pflugerville to South Austin because we feel at home there.

When I was looking for an orthodontist, my dentist office recommended Pure Smiles. I went in for a consultation and liked them so much I ended up getting my braces that very day. The staff is so willing to help and answer questions and do what they can to make the experience a great one. Dr. G was the best. She helped me through not only my braces but also a difficult personal time and I truly count her as a friend! I will recommend Pure Smiles to anyone that tells me they need an orthodontist! My experience was easier than I expected and at my age (50’s) I really wasn’t excited about going into braces!

I did my research with multiple orthodonist before deciding where to get my braces from and I decided to go with Dr. Gonzalez because she was really maticulus when explaining the process and procedure. It’s been 12 month since I had my braces and my teeth are looking great. Every time I go in for my appointments Dr. Gonzalez makes sure to explain whats the next step of my treatment and ensures that all my questions are answer. I highly encourage Dr. Gonzalez if you are planing on getting braces she is a perfectionist and if you are looking for amazing results Dr. Gonzalez will ensure you get the smile you are looking for. I am extremlly content with my results up to now and can’t wait for the end results. I will make sure I write another review when my treatment is finish.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. G and her staff, there should be more stars than five! I got my braces later in life for the first time. My teeth were very crowded and I was hesitant about pulling my wisdom teeth, Dr. G believed she could straighten them without needing to and she did! My dentist is amazed at how great they turned out and improved my gum health greatly. I get compliments on my teeth now all the time and I finally don’t hate to smile in pictures! The staff is so friendly, literally all of them, and the promotions they do are amazing I actually won a pair of AirPods!! I would highly recommend you check them out first!

I have posted before about Dr. Gonzales and not sure if it was here our not but I highly recommend her for your ortho needs. She and her staff are more than just professional care givers, they are compassionate and will give you the individual treatment that you are seeking. They strive to make your appointments comfortable and as fun as you can possibly have in a dental setting. YOu will have the smile that will have you holding your head high with that new confidant smile. Dr. Gonzales takes the time to shine up your teeth after your braces are removed leaving you with something you can “wear” proudly for the rest of your life!

I am lucky to have found Pure Smiles and Dr. Gonzalez. Originally, I wanted an orthodontist to just treat me like a patient…in and out and that was it. My first meeting was a consult and it was thorough and educational. The time they spent with we was not rushed and all my questions were answered. Dr. G and her staff are so friendly and want to you come in, make yourself at home and be comfortable. I truly enjoy going to my appointments and seeing “friends”. We laugh, we chat and catch up from the last appointment. It’s a great feeling when a busy office remembers your last conversation. As far as my treatment goes, I couldn’t me happier!! I am 38 years old and love it when people comment on my smile. I urge any one considering braces, please go see Dr. Gonzalez and her staff. They will not disappoint!

My name is Michael Venegas and i am a patient of Dr Gonzalez. She is AWESOME and SUPER nice!! I was nervous about getting braces, but she really made me feel comfortable and explained everything about them and my teeth very well. I like the Damon braces they use because I only have to go every 10 weeks instead of 6-8 weeks with traditional braces. The staff there is very friendly and remember my name every time I walk in the door. I love the reward program they have to motivate me to keep up with good oral hygiene because i get to redeem points when i get my braces removed and I can’t wait for that. I would highly recommend PURESMILES to everyone that needs braces. You will love this place and Dr Gonzalez.

I had a great experience at pure smiles orthodontics, I had my consultation this week and I am going to start treatment next week I was given a tour of the facility by Kelsey the treatment coordinator she walked me through everything from taking my photos to X-rays and told me about my options of either Invisalign’s or braces she answered all my questions and my concerns. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcomed. Dr. Gonzales reviewed my photos and X-rays and gave me my options she is so sweet and really cared about my needs and what I wanted I’m excited to start my treatment next week I will definitely be recommending pure smiles orthodontics to family and friends !

Dr. Silvana Gonzalez is very profesional, personable and thorough. I had a terrible past experience as a kid having braces. I was not happy with the end result. A very unethical/unprofessional doctor had too many teeth removed resulting in excessive spaces between my teeth. For years I considered getting braces again, but I was very apprehensive because of my past experience. I finally found someone I can trust. She explained in detail my treatment plan. It’s clear to me that we are doing exactly what I need, nothing more, nothing less. The offices are brand new and impressive. The technology and sanitation they use are cutting edge. That is just a plus to the superb service. Thank you Dr. Gonzalez!

If you need braces this is the place to go! I don’t even know where to begin on how great they are. To start off the waiting area is always nice and clean, always decorated for the holidays. If you’d like water or coffee theres some available. A room for the kids to entertain themselves with games while waiting. That’s even if you’re waiting because once you check in it only seems less than 10 minutes before you’re being seen. The staff here is amazing, they’re kind, knowledgeable, attentive, helpful and just overall professional. If you have a concern, something is bothering you, or have any questions they will help you. Another cool thing about this place is they have events that go on to help the community. There’s really so much to this place you have to check it out. You will be glad you did! 5+ Stars!!

As an oral health care provider myself, I could not think of a better office to recommend for your orthodontic needs. The customer service is exceptional, like none other I’ve experienced in the industry! The staff was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable, but most importantly, Dr. Gonzalez had a unique and caring approach to her chairside manners along with a gentle touch to her skills. I will be making Pure Smiles my number one source for clients needing orthodontic referrals, so that I ensure that they receive only the very best care! Thank you Pure Smiles for a great experience!

Nothing but high praises for Pure Smiles! I was treated so well from day one and have been coming here for almost two years. I am 32 years old and I came in for Invisalign treatment and just recently finished up. I felt a little uncomfortable getting braces as an adult but my worries were put to rest when I met Dr. Gonzalez. I really feel like Dr. Gonzalez and her staff genuinely care about their clients. The facility is great and very clean with state of the art equipment. Dr. Gonzalez and her staff are very gentle and caring when working. They take the time to make sure I am as comfortable as can be while being worked on. I now have a smile I am proud of thanks to the beautiful ladies of Pure Smiles.

There is professionalism and then there’s quality. Dr. Gonzalez combines both of these crucial factors in her practice and with ease. Her level of professionalism goes above and beyond that of just an orthodontist running a practice because she has a natural understanding of the science behind the art. She also adds a very positive energy with every one of her clients leaving them with an invaluble feeling of satisfaction. A family woman and an orthodontic patient herself, Dr. Gonzalez practices with empathy toward every parent – and adult patients – entertaining the idea of getting braces for their children or for themselves. She is continually educating herself by attending conferences and keeping atop the industry with the latest studies, technology and procedures making her one of the best in her field. Pure Smiles is a guaranteed 5 star practice.

This a review from my daughter who is a Pure Smiles customer: Pure Smiles Orthodontist is the best place to get braces because of many reasons. One of the reasons is that you are not treated like any other customer, but you are treated like a person that the orthodontist really cares about so you immediately feel like you are in good hands, and truthfully you are. Always receive you with a smile. Another reason is that they use a new system called the Damon system, which are braces that are a little smaller, more comfortable, and quicker. You can definitely tell that their number one priority is to help you and make you happy, and it does not look like they are there for the money but for your good. They treat you really quickly. Ex: when one of my braces broke I just called and they fixed it the next day, I didn’t even have to make an appointment. The prices are really reasonable, and for the people that are waiting they have coffee, PlayStation Portable, kids coloring table, treats, drinks and a TV. I definitely recommend it to everyone

We have been thoroughly pleased with my daughter’s treatment at Pure Smiles and would recommend them to anyone. We chose Pure Smiles for several reasons… (1) The staff is very attentive, friendly, caring and professional. Dr. Gonzalez, Holly and the rest of the staff are top-notch. (2) Since we were a transfer patient after moving to Austin from out of town, we needed an orthodontist who specialized in the Damon braces that my daughter was already wearing. The fact that Pure Smiles uses the advanced Damon System rather than traditional braces proved to us that they are experts in their field by utilizing the latest technology. (3) The price was reasonable and an excellent value for the level of service received. Final result…braces are off, she’s wearing her retainers, and her smile is beautiful! We will return when my son is ready for braces

I have been going to pure smiles since it opened just a few years ago and they have made my experience with braces so amazing. I got my braces about 4 months after my 18th birthday, as if trying to figure out how to be an 18 year old isn’t awkward enough, but coming into pure smiles and seeing everyone’s friendly face made it so much easier. Everything moved so fast and easily it made the next three years a breeze. Dr. Silvana and Holly have been there since the beginning and they are so nice, they’ve always made the experience personable and comfortable. Through out the years the rest of the staff has changed up as to be expected, but they have always chosen staff members that are friendly and easy to communicate with. Everyone is easy to work with, they easily work with your schedule and if something comes up last minute they will make sure you can get in as soon as possible. I absolutely recommend taking yourself or your children to pure smiles, they will make it worth your time!

We went in for a consultation. Prior to our appointment we received a phone call telling us what to expect when we arrived. When we arrived we were greeted by the receptionist with a friendly Hello and smile. Shortly after arriving we were greeted by Jacqueline who introduced us to the staff, took us on a tour and explained how things would work. Everyone is very friendly and the whole office is very clean and comfortable. Dr Gonzalez was warm and friendly and spoke to my daughter and thoroughly explained everything to her. Made us both feel very confident that we were making the right choice.

I have been going to Pure Smile for about a year and a half now. I love pure smile and wouldn’t want to go to any other Orthodontist. When I first came to texas I looked at all different orthodontist but I wasn’t very satisfied with any of them. But when I went to Pure Smile they made me feel welcomed. The staff there is wonder they welcomed me with smiles and made me laugh. Dr. Gonzales is one of the best orthodontist she walked me through the whole process of having braces and answered any of the questions that I had. Pure smile can schedule you in to fit you schedule perfectly. I absolutely love Pure Smile and I highly recommended them.

My son had a complicated orthodontic situation, and I got 6 evaluations and opinions over several months as each orthodontist had very different opinions ranging from immediately undergoing oral surgery to extract permanent teeth to waiting a couple of years and hoping some complications became easier to fix. We ultimately chose Pure Smiles because Dr. Gonzalez had the plan that was most reasonable and because she uses the Damon system which, after extensive research, I am convinced is the best orthodontic system. I highly recommend Dr. Gonzalez at Pure Smiles. She is very experienced, extremely knowledgeable, and quite personable!

My daughter and I are in love with the work Dr. Gonzalez is doing. When we visited the office for the first time, D. Gonzalez did a complete evaluation of my daughter. She explained step by step how the process was going to be done. Since then, we had started my daughter on a retainer and we have seeing the changes right away. We are very pleased!. My daughter loves to go to see her and follows her directions very well. The office is well run, everything is well organized. The staff is friendly. The location is great. Appointments are easy to make and very flexible. Oh! I almost forgot … she even offers free custom made mouth guards for the children!!. I am so glad we found her!!.She is fantastic!.

I was at a point of not trying another Ortho Office after visiting 6 different ones and was told braces were not possible for my teeth; but while reading reviews on yelp I ran across Pure Smiles and was excited to see all the positive reviews so I said what the heck I’ll give it a try. Let me start off with Brittney was phenomenal as I was sending her emails for several days on questions I had and she responded promptly and thoroughly. That left an amazing first impression for me. When I got there for my consultation I felt welcomed immediately. Again seeing the receptionist smiles and sitting down with Brittney for my plan of action was comfortable and also The financial options that were provided. Dr. G was very friendly and personable during my consultation and I have been back as I broke a bracket already. I would highly recommend Pure Smiles to anyone looking for a personable and friendly office. Thank

I took advantage of the free consultation offered here. Everyone was so friendly and very knowledgeable. The Dr. is also very nice and walked me through my options for both Invisalign and braces. She was very patient with all my questions and explained everything in great detail. The facility is very clean and modern and seems to have the newest technology. After my consultation I decided to go for it and am very excited to see myself in 18 – 24 months. Worth mentioning: Financing is offered here at a very affordable 0% interest rate

I went to Pure Smiles a while ago to get new braces. My sister had gone a few months before me and we were amazed by the great service, I knew that was the best place to get braces. The lady at the front desk is very sweet. She always checks me in and schedules my next appointment fast. Also, there hasn’t ever been a long wait to start getting treated. Dr.Silvana Gonzales and the others always do their best work. My braces weren’t hurting me much because of their excellent work. Everyone there pays a lot of attention to you. At the entrance, there are always treats and beverages. Pure Smiles also has a small room to entertain kids. In there there are 3 ps3’s and crayons and paper to draw. I would definitely recommend Pure Smiles to anyone

My son has finished his first round of braces, due to his age he will have to do it again. Dr. Gonzalez always listens and cares about what her patients think and need. She is busy but always finds the time to know what is happening with her patients. I was a dental asst, office manager and consultant for over 15 years and always notice how well an office is kept and how the staff handles the office. I am very impressed to how well the office runs and how all the staff treats everyone. Dr. Gonzalez has great chair-side manners and I would recommend this office to anyone needing Ortho care.They are very helpful and careful about the financial aspect of the treatment and make it very simple to manage the cost. Thank you to everyone for continuing to be so great.

Dr. G. Is amazing! She has all the latest technology, and is very patient, thorough and kind! Her whole office is very accommodating and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. They go above and beyond to make sure not only that you get amazing results, but also that you are able to retain those results. All the assistants are excellent, but Liz is simply amazing! She treats you like family and as a dental professional myself, that is important to me! Thank you for our beautiful smiles and for all your work on my youngest daughter’s complex case

I wish I could give this office more stars. Dr. Gonzalez has changed my life. I am 28 years old and have always had an extreme open bite. To give you a mental image, I could stick my entire tongue out with my teeth closed. Over the years I was told time and time again that eventually I would have to get it corrected with extreme surgery. Surgery that would break my bottom and top jaws, and then have my mouth wired shut. If that wasn’t scary enough, the surgery would cost about $100,000… and health insurance won’t pitch in. Dr. Gonzalez was the first person to say I can fix this with braces. It hasn’t even been a full year and my teeth close completely! I can speak better, and eat sandwiches in public without all the toppings falling out! It sounds silly but if you have an open bite, you know what I mean. The staff is also amazingly friendly and willing to work out payment plans for those on a budget like myself. If you need orthodontic work, do yourself a huge favor and schedule an appointment here. They did a free consult and quote before I committed to anything.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
