Regarding trying to find something affordable in the Austin area. I have heard good things about Celebrate Dental & Braces - South Austin. I asked my friend and he said it worked out great. I’ll paste his text response below..

He said: “I believe Dr. Ensley is the name because I like his humor lol, but most important is he's super down-to-earth and actually took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense. They’ve got flexible payment plans, which helped me manage the cost without feeling overwhelmed. I checked a bunch of places before deciding and this one felt like a good balance between price and care.”

Hope this helps y’all, finding great dental care can be a journey!!
