Family dentist on South Lamar, Austin
Unhurried visits, the price in writing before we start, and Saturday mornings for school-day families. Kids welcome from their first tooth.
Four things, done properly. Every card has a price on it, because you should know before you sit down.
A gentle cleaning, digital X-rays with about 80% less radiation, and a plan in plain English. We floss. We don’t lecture.
Sealants, fluoride and a slow first visit. Parents stay in the room, kids hold the mirror, and everybody leaves with a sticker.
Custom trays you wear at home for two weeks. Clear aligners mapped on a 3D scan, so you see the finish before you start.
Toothache, chipped tooth, lost filling. Call before 11 and we’ll see you today. We hold slots for it every weekday.
A first visit for a toddler is mostly a tour. Ride the chair up and down, meet the water straw, count teeth in the mirror. If all we do the first time is say hello, that’s a good visit.
One hour. The $89 covers all of it, and nothing happens that you didn’t say yes to.
Forms are already done. You filled them in on your phone the night before, in about four minutes.
Kids ride the chair up and down and pick a flavor: mint, bubblegum or strawberry.
About 80% less radiation than film, and you look at them on the screen with us.
Gentle, unhurried, and we stop the moment you raise a hand.
She shows you what she sees, tooth by tooth, and tells you what can wait.
What insurance covers, what you’d pay, what’s urgent and what isn’t. Nothing is done until you say yes.
Next visit booked only if you want one. Kids pick a sticker for the Brave Club chart.
Cash prices for the things families ask about most. With insurance, we tell you your share before we start.
Send us your card before the visit. We check your benefits, tell you what’s covered, and file the claim ourselves.
No insurance? The Brightfield Plan covers two cleanings, exams and X-rays a year, plus 20% off treatment. Kids $19 a month.
“My son was terrified of dentists. Dr. Ruiz let him hold the mirror and count his own teeth. In the car home he asked when he can go back.”
First dental bill in years with zero surprises. They told me what my insurance would cover before I even sat down.
dr ruiz is nise. i got the dinosor stiker and a red tooth brush
Cracked a molar on a breakfast taco, Tuesday 8:40 am. Called at 9, fixed by lunch, back at my desk by 1:30.
Honest about what can wait. I came in expecting three fillings and left with one and a reminder to floss the back left.
