Dr. Testa and her amazing staff gave me the perfect smile I have been seeking.  My front tooth was chipped, and after being told by several dentists in the Houston area that I should “live with it”, “there was nothing that could be done”, “it wasn’t that bad”, I called River Oaks Dental Arts.  I received a consultation appointment the same day I called and was told by Dr. Testa that repair was possible.  She explained the chip was due to a shift in my bite requiring some orthodontic work to ensure the repair would be long-lasting (something no other dentist even mentioned).  Her expertise and skill gave me the smile I had lost and I am happier than ever.  She and her staff are first-class in every way…knowledgable, friendly, and kind.  I highly recommend Dr. Testa and her staff to anyone seeking a thorough dental experience by experts who love their work and their patients!

This is hands down THE BEST dentist I have ever been to! I knew I was in the right place when the receptionist greeted me with, “How may I brighten your smile today?” It is owned and operated by the most amazing group of women! I’m surprised Eve Ensler hasn’t written a Tony award winning play about them yet. When you’re in the dental chair, they cover you up with a cozy blanket, give you headphones and put on your favorite Pandora station, and put moisturizer on your lips so they don’t get chapped! The customer service is unmatched and my smile has never looked better. I’m sticking with these ladies and I have already sent a few friends their way 🙂

I always have a great experience at River Oaks Dental Arts, but when I went to have my teeth cleaned this week it was exceptional. Not only did Diane do her usual high quality cleaning, but I have never felt so safe and protected from COVID. The extra precautions they have taken to ensure their safety and the patient’s safety is to be applauded. Thank you Dr. Testa, for maintaining such high standards in your service and protective measures. You’re the best!

I have been visiting this office for about 5 years now. The staff is very accommodating, friendly, and inviting. The dentist is not something that many of us look forward to, so each visit, the staff is very wonderful. Dr. Testa is very thorough and makes you feel comfortable. I would highly recommend this practice.

Where do I even begin! I’ll start with the staff, they are always so friendly and complementary. I recently started to go to Dr. Testa after I was referred by a friend. Dr. Testa has taken my smile to a new level! She is a true artist, I couldn’t be happier! Nadia is also the best hygienist I’ve ever seen in my 30 years!

My visit to to have my teeth cleaned was pleasant as always. From the moment I walked in they were doing everything they could to protect my health. Diane explained everything she would be doing and took her time to make sure I was comfortable. They practiced sanitation and disinfection at a new level per the guidelines of the Dental Association. Jasmine was friendly as always upon my arrival and leaving my appointment. Thank you River Oaks Dental Arts!

This is an Outstanding dental facility. They are courteous, professional, and empathetic. While dental visits can often be a cause of great anxiety, The entire staff at River Oaks Dental Arts, makes one feel comfortable and completely at ease . I highly recommend them.

I fear going to the dentist due to a horrific experience. Dr.Testa and her staff are top notch. I was running late due to construction…30min to be exact..Dianne and Dr.Testa went above and beyond to take care of my issue. Even offering happy gas to calm my nerves down to listening to a set of headphones with my choice of music. They explained all procedures. They made me feel comfortable and at ease. They truly do care about their patients health and go that extra mile to make sure all your needs are met. I am grateful I chose this wonderful staff. I would rec.them to strangers friends and family. 😉

I’ve never loved a dentist before this. I’ve been going to Dr. Testa and her awesome hygenist, Diane, since shortly after she opened her practice several years ago. She is on top of the latest product developments (purple foam fluoride?), which makes the experience a little extra fun, and you can see your teeth on the computer screen in front of you. What really sets her apart is how proactive she is about dental care. Nothing gets by her. The office staff is very friendly and helpful. And they really do all they can to make your visit as pleasant and painless as possible.

Truly the best dentists around! Dr. Testa and Dr. Mouzi are both incredible. I really appreciate their great customer service and attention to detail. During these crazy COVID times their office is going above and beyond to ensure the safety of their patients and staff. I would highly recommend River Oaks Dental Arts to anyone that wants to upgrade their current dental experience. Everyone on their staff is professional and kind. I appreciate their ability to make everyone feel welcome. From Jasmine at the front desk to those assisting with the appointment like Toni. Everyone is providing a 5 star experience!

River Oaks Dental Arts is a first class organization. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. The dental hygienist always keep me informed of the process they are performing and make sure I’m comfortable. Dr. Testa has always handled my teeth with the utmost care and I’ve never had any issues with work she has performed keeping my beautiful pearly whites healthy and clean. Top notch dental office. You won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Testa and her staff are PHENOMENAL! They take safety protocols, sterilization and cleaning responsibility better than anywhere I have seen. I love how personable, and warm the office feels, still while being safe and COVID FREE. Plus, my teeth are very well cared for and my smile looks fantastic!

To preface, I hate the dentist office. I don’t like going, I don’t like when they say, almost done, and you’re not where near done, but they definitely make the most out of a dreaded experience. I’ve been coming to see Dr. Testa for about 8 years now. I absolutely love this place and the staff. It’s always so clean, they are always on schedule, and everyone is beyond friendly. Pre- COVID, you could get a blanket, but those are gone due to the Virus precautions, but you get to listen to music of your choosing to drown out the awful noises going on during the cleaning. Dr. Testa and her staff are very knowledgeable! I highly recommend this office!

Dr. Testa and her staff are the absolute best in Houston. They care so much for their patients and it truly shows. Dr. Testa is a true professional and loves her patients like they are family. I have never been a fan of dental treatments because of past experiences, but the care that I received here has made me more comfortable. Thank you for the great experiences and the beautiful smile

I went in for a chipped tooth after receiving a recommendation from a family member and they were very nice and took the time to explain everything. I went in twice – once to get my teeth whitened and the other to actually get my teeth fixed – both were good experiences. Everybody in that office is nice and takes the time to explain everything from how to fix the issue to billing and insurance.

This is probably the best experience one could ever have at a dentist. About a year ago, I set up my first appt. I was scared (and ashamed) to go, because I hadn’t been to the dentist in 5 years, due to being in college, starting my first job, not having the time and not having dental insurance for a while, etc…I finally said no excuses and did it. Needless to say I was a little nervous and skeptical, because most dentists these days will try to nickel and dime you, in addition to the already unpleasant experience of going to the dentist. Not the case with them. The staff, specifically Diane, made me feel so comfortable and put me at ease. I immediately felt at home. The technology truly is top-notch. Your first appt. is 2 hours because they need time to fully assess your mouth/dental history, and they take a lot of x-rays. The x-rays – let me tell you, that experience has totally changed. It’s non-invasive compared to what it used to be. Long story short, I walked out of there actually wanting to come back. Fast forward a year, I’ve recommended them to people I know looking for a dentist (and even those who weren’t). So far, my roommate and co-worker have both tried Dental Arts. My colleague probably thought I was just exaggerating when I would talk about how great they are, but after he finally went, he could not stop raving about them either. I think we’ve even successfully convinced another colleague to try them. They will not disappoint!

Dr. Testa and her team are nothing short of amazing. I came in being very anxious and the staff spent a ton of time with my practice introduction. The hygienist spent so much time explaining every aspect of what she was doing and so patient with me. Dr. Testa then presented the findings and then really took the time to explain what everything meant. I am looking forward to the case presentation for my restorative and cosmetic procedures next week. I would refer Dr. T. and her team to anyone and I have been in the dental industry for 16 years! Thanks to Dr. Testa and her team!!!!!! Greg

I absolutely love Dr. Testa and her staff (Jasmine, Angela, the whole crew). She has truly worked at ensuring that you feel comfortable from the time you walk in, until the time you leave. As soon as I sit in the chair, I know I’m going to be taken care of. I know the dentist can be scary for some, but I never feel that when I walk into her office. Dr. Testa did my cleaning this time which was awesome! Keep up the great work ladies!

I have been going to Dr. Tesla for 6 years and am always impressed with my visits. Cleanings are very relaxed and completed using the best current practices. They use the most up to date technology and keep you in the loop with the best way for you personally to keep your mouth healthy. I’ve referred anyone I can to their office because of how good they are.

Dr. Testa and her staff are absolutely wonderful. I’ve been going here since I moved to Houston in 2012 and will never go to another. They make you feel very comfortable and do an excellent job of explaining what they are doing and why they are doing it, whether it be cleaning, fillings, Invisalign, etc. I’ve recommended all my friends who move to Houston and don’t have a dentist to go here. From the front desk with Jasmine to Dr. Testa, the entire experience is worth it knowing you are getting the best treatment with the most comfort. Thanks!
