Am grateful for a dentist that has a great amount of integrity. He tells it straight and does not make you do something that you don’t need. The hygienist on his team are great—professional and detail oriented. Proud to call Sola Dental my go-to for my teeth.

Very calming and professional. They always treated me with respect and never shamed me for precious dental choices

I’ve been going to SoLa Dental forseveral years now, and I always find them friendly, professional and supportive. If you’re looking for a dentist, especially if it’s been a few years since your last visit, I highly recommend SoLa Dental!

Love SoLa Dental. Dr. Gent is not only an excellent dentist but he is a kind person that takes time to answers your questions and to make sure you feel comfortable with your procedure.

Modern office with the latest technology - latest digital x-rays, computerized crowns (made within ten minutes), etc. Professional, polite. Dr. Gent doesn't push non-nessecary or cosmetic treatments - non-salesy. Recommends and tries to do the least invasive work. Explains his recommendations in detail. I've been there for two procedures, while in town.
Update April 2017:
Now, my favorite dentist! I'll wait until I'm back in Austin for all my dental checkups with Dr. Gent. Great staff too. I really like the dental hygienists too. Very competent, trustworthy, holistic, high tech, and personable. Also, I'm taking better care of my teeth, which means more positive check-ups too.
Update May, 2016:
For my second procedure, I had half a crown put in, in February. It was close to the nerve, which Dr. Gent said was likely the reason for the pain. Fortunately, a second x-ray showed that the tooth was still okay - no infection or dying nerve. I was happy that Dr. Gent, wasn't too aggressive like some dentists would be, and go straight to doing a root canal or extracting it. He seems more holistic, and respected my wanting to save my tooth. He suggested we wait a bit to see if the pain went away. He also filed the tooth again to see if that would help.
Still in pain, but, wanting to save my tooth, I researched, "how to save a tooth, naturally"; "prevent root canal, naturally", etc. I used some natural and homeopathic remedies: Arnica montana, Hypericum perforatum for nerve pain, turmeric capsules for pain, 1+ raw garlic cloves daily --fortunately, my husband didn't notice --, which have antibiotic properties, wheat grass shots, liver, raw grass-fed cheese, etc. And, I cut out sugar, foods with phytic acid, and ate super healthy foods.
It has taken several months, but, my tooth seems to be recovering. The biggest improvement I noticed, was from my starting to eat the raw garlic about a week ago. I'm wondering if there was a small infection in the tooth, that the garlic fixed, naturally. Now, I'm needing to take less and less tumeric, capsules and holistic pills. Each day/week, it's feeling better.
I recommend reading Dr. Weston A. Price, a dentist, in the 1930s. He was stumped as to why his patients' teeth were so bad - decay and crowding. Turns out it was due to our modern diet of processed foods, white sugar, etc.. Dr. Price traveled the globe and studied traditional cultures where he found that tooth decay was rare. They were cultures that hadn't yet been exposed to modern foods. It was because of their nutrient dense diet, that didn't include processed foods with phytic acid or sugar. Although, when roads were put into their villages, bringing processed foods, they too developed tooth decay, and kids started being born with crooked, crowded teeth.

Dr. Gent and his staff are amazing. For teeth cleaning they are efficient and thorough and couldn’t be nicer. Going to the dentist is actually a pleasant experience.

Dr. Gent and his team are very caring and thoughtful. I have never felt he promotes unnecessary procedures. I mentioned to Dr. Gent that my son’s enamel has alway been weak compared to my other children, and he suggested we look into digestive causes. A trip to the gastrointestinologist revealed he has a malabsorption disorder! Dr. Gent cares as much about causes of dental issues as treating them.

Great experience! Dr. Thomas Gent did a great job on my teeth cleaning and assuring me my crowns were top notch. My wife and I frequent SoLa dental and will probably keep coming back.
