They saw me same day for a bit of a dental emergency. The staff skipped their lunches to get me in, and they did a fantastic job. What more could you ask for? Frozen sour patch kids will not have the last laugh after all! Thank you all! … More -
Wow! The reviews don’t lie. I’ve never felt so comfortable at a dentist office. Everyone there seemed so happy and genuinely cared to be there and cared to help you. This is unusual I feel like at any business. I am terrible with names … More and I can’t remember the names of who I worked with by I believe one of them was Sarah and maybe Ilsa? They were all fantastic and kind and efficient and took such great care of me. So glad I found this place my husband and I will happily be making this our home dental office!
-
The Lydian team is fantastic. I was there today starting my Invisalign treatment and Ilsa was awesome. A very relaxing and smooth dentist office experience as always with them!
-
Best dental experience I have ever had, from nightmare appointments at other places to happy, friendly and patient-focused. Dr. Josh and his assistant Chrissy are amazing. They helped re-cement my molar and get me on my way quickly while … More also educating me on everything I needed to know

Such a great experience! Paige was the RDH I worked with and she was absolutely fabulous. She made it fun and relaxing! 10/10 would recommend
-
First I want to say, everyone is SO nice!!!!
I was first greeted by Dulce at the front. She is so welcoming and really made the check in process easy.
From there, I was taken to the back by the Sydney. Not only was she helpful with the … More information she was providing. But she made sure I understood what was going on and explained each scope of work.
She ensured I was comfortable through out the entire process.
Once Sydney cleaned up my grill, I was introduced to Dr. Iana. She was SO nice as well!!!!
She walked me through the work we needed done on my teeth, she was so helpful and ensured that she will be with me every step of the way and showed much excitement for my teeth transformation (which made me excited)
Lastly, I met with Dora to discuss treatment plan and financials. She was very informative and made the financials part very stress free!!
Overall- my experience has been tremendous because of these ladies. I cannot wait to continue my journey with Lydian Dental!! -
Lydian Dental is the best dentist I have ever been to. The dentists and hygienists are compassionate and incredible. I have some dental anxiety and avoided going to the dentist for years, but my appointment went smoothly, and everything … More they were doing was communicated to me. The staff was patient and understanding of my anxiety, and did a great job. I have been wanting to get my wisdom teeth extracted for years, but avoided it due to my hatred of the dentist. I finally scheduled an appointment to get them taken out, years after I initially wanted to. I never felt like they were trying to overcharge me or perform unnecessary work. The office was clean, well run, and had some really awesome tech. For as long as I live in Austin, I will be going to Lydian.
-
I can only say this is the best care, most compassionate dental outfit I’ve ever had the benefit of being a part of. Crystal, the hygienist in charge of my periodontal cleaning is an absolute Angel; professional, caring, diligent. She made … More my experience with Lydian dental something I look forward to instead of flee from!! I wouldn’t go anywhere else from now on.
-
I am never the biggest fan of the dentist at all. BUT the staff at Lydian Dental goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. I had the pleasure of being seen by Dr.Josh and his dental assistant Mariela and they were both fantastic. … More They made me feel at ease and explained what they were doing so I understood and felt comfortable. I felt like part of the team after I left there. I've only been living in Austin a year and I found Dr. Josh on Google and I am so glad I did. So if you are looking for a new dentist or are new to the area, do yourself a favor and give their team a call!
-
I've been going here since 2019 and their service is top notch. Lydian was recommended to me by my work colleagues after I moved to Austin. I had some crowns added, and it was definitely not an easy task but Dr Josh, Mariela and Karen … More did such a phenomenal job. I couldn't tell the difference between the crowns and natural teeth; I love how they look all thanks to Lydian and the staff : )
-
I am new to Austin and was looking for a dentist, and I'm so glad I took a chance on Lydian Dental. It really delivers in all ways - they're hyper-efficient, easy to book, and the care is top notch.
The front desk staff, dental … More hygienist, and the doctor who did my root canal were not only extremely professional and competent, but also very caring. My dentist (whose name I sadly can't recall) was more concerned about me feeling pain than I was.
I highly recommend! -
After looking & searching dentist offices around the Austin area I was highly recommended by a good friend of mine to this dental office and I couldn’t be happier! They educate you on your needs and work with you on your wants, also … More not only did I learn what I needed done they have friendly service, always smiling and in good spirits. Best dental office thus far!
-
From the front desk people to the man Dr. Josh himself, I have been beyond happy with the level of service I've been provided here. Every time I come in I enjoy a fantastic conversation at the front desk with some of the friendliest … More and most helpful people you'll meet. Considering the length of time I had gone between dental appointments I knew I would need considerable work done but was pleasantly surprised with the level of detail and explanation about the treatment that would need to be done. I cannot recommend the quality of people and treatment at this clinic enough.
-
Super helpful and informative! Took the time to help me know what was going on and assist me financially which was really stress relieving. Krystal was super sweet and made me feel very comfortable! Also got to watch Netflix while getting … More a deep clean. Would 100% recommend!!
-
My experience at Lydian Dental has been amazing! The front desk staff are very helpful and friendly. Candice is always willing to answer all my question. Krystal, the hygienist, is absolutely amazing! Dr. Josh and Mariela go above and … More beyond every time they work with me!
-
As good a time as one can possibly have at the dentist. Everyone was patient and pleasant and accommodating. I knew what was going on, what was about to happen and why and there was a constant sense that any question I had we could stop … More for an answer. Thank you very much, great team and I look forward to having this be my dentist for years to come!

Just moved to Austin and went to Lydian dental for the 1st time. Best dental experience ever - not only is it beautifully styled inside but the staff was nice, they didn't make me wait, they were able to take a lot of my X-rays in … More the chair without lots of clunky machinery around. I got to pick a netflix show to watch while I had my teeth cleaned. Krystal the hygienist was amazing, friendly, informative and meeting the doctor was a positive experience too. I felt like I was in good care and that they know their stuff.
-
Best experience at a dentist I’ve ever had. The front desk staff is incredibly nice and helpful. I got a new job recently and I was having trouble finding the correct insurance information, they literally found it for me. Nothing but good … More things to say about this place.
-
I have had great experiences since switching to Lydian Dental. Krystal, the hygienist, is absolutely amazing. She’s thorough, super friendly and talks you through what she’s doing. The dentist and all of the staff is lovely as well. Great … More location and great office. 10/10 would recommend.
-
After years of being a very happy and satisfied patient of Lydian & Dr. Josh, I was finally able to talk my husband into making an appointment! My Oh My! What an incredible experience he had with the entire front office staff and Dr. … More Josh. If you have a dentist avoidant person in your life, please do them the favor of sending them to Dr. Josh. The care and warmth you receive when stepping into their office will make you smile every single time you make an appointment to go see them.
Thank you Lydian! -
By far the best dentist I’ve ever been to. My teeth are stronger, healthier and look better than they have in 20 years. Dr. Josh and his amazing team make visits as painless as possible. Everybody there is super pleasant and knowledgable. … More They have invested in the best technology and do everything possible to make sure you’re comfortable. I’ve found my forever dentist. Thank you guys!
-
This was my first visit. The office personnel was very pleasant. I loved how I was able to complete all my paperwork online prior to my visit and I appreciate how they sent notification reminders. My cleaning was performed by Krystal … More Sisson. She is very knowledgeable and took time to listen to my concerns. She checked those areas of concern to propose my treatment plan with the dentist. Dr. Josh was very pleasant and thorough. Additionally, I was surprised at the low cost for my treatment plan. I came hime and compared it to my husbands plan from another dentist. He will soon be a patient at Lydian too. If you visit their website Dr. Josh states the mission clearly as they put patients before profits. This was my experience. I highly recommend Lydian Dental in Austin, Texas.
-
I LOVE THIS OFFICE! Definitely recommend Tori (assistant) and Dr. Josh (dentist)! I don’t usually get nervous but even if I were, Tori and Josh are soooo relaxed and informed, they made me feel like we were all just hanging out as friends! … More The best duo/teamwork I’ve ever seen! I got every one of my questions answered I left with so informed I could practically get a job there.

Recently relocated in Austin and been in search for a good dentist and I’m so glad I found Lydian dental. The clinic is not only super clean and tidy but also beautiful inside. My hygienist Krystal was amazing. She made me feel super welcome … More and while she was cleaning, she was keep educating me about what she is doing, the purpose of it and thing I can do myself to keep my gums and teeth healthy. She went through everything in detail with me. And check-in and out process was super smooth and safe with full precautions considering the COVID-19. Dr josh (if I’m not mistaking) was also very friendly and knowledgeable with recommendations.
-
I cannot begin to tell you how much I love Lydian. I grew up without dental insurance and then had to get 3 emergency root canals which were badly done in college. Hence, I was very scared to find a dentist once I moved into the real world … More and received dental insurance. The staff and Lydian has always made me feel comfortable and cared for, while also really giving me all the facts about my dental health. Please, please, please choose them!
-
I am so pleased with the entire staff at Lydian dental. They were extremely kind, knowledgable and professional. Explained everything to me very clearly and we're extremely comforting with the stress that sometimes comes with dental … More work. I will be recommending them to absolutely everyone!
-
Decided to take out whole family here conveniently located, staff is friendly, clean and nice, pricing seems a little high. Was a bummer we all came out each time with more work and $$ to spend, that wasn't the case at other dentist. … More The work they did do was well done.
-
I went to Lydian Dental after coming very highly reviewed by a hard to please family member. The office is at a great location, the staff is incredibly accommodating-especially the front desk, office manager and Karen. I felt safe in the … More hands of Dr. Turnbull. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist and actually look forward to my next trip. Great job Lydian Dental!!
-
Even after I moved to a new city, Lydian Dental is still treating me like their #1 patient 🙂 Thank you to the office staff for quickly and efficiently getting my records to my newest dentist. Don't worry, I will still plan my dentist … More visits to you guys for when I'm next in Austin. Really appreciate all you have done!

-
I saw Lydian had great reviews so thought I’d give it a go as I have recently moved to Austin and needed a new dentist. I’m so glad I did! They are all SUPER nice and make you feel so comfortable which is really important to me as I get … More quite nervous.

I cant speak highly enough about Dr Josh at Lydian Dental. I have extreme anxiety when it comes to dental work and struggled for years to find the right dentist. They have made me feel comfortable and thoroughly discussed all of my options … More and what makes the most sense.
I had years of lingering work that needed to be done and they worked quickly and knocked most of it out in just a few visits.
Most importantly, there are TVS with Netflix on the ceilings that you can watch and tune out during your appointment 🙂 -
Everyone at Lydian Lamar was super friendly and accommodating! They educated me on my dental health while providing the best options moving forward.
