Was an AMAZING experience!!! The whole staff was very professional, but they were also kind and understanding. Its refreshing to see people who truly love their jobs and care about each and every patient.
My husband and I had our dental cleaning. We felt safe in their environment as they followed all the precautionary safety practices during this pandemic. The service was good and thorough. We were happy with their assistance.
It was my first cleaning here and it was great! They took great care to make sure I was comfortable. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Happy to have found them when I was looking for a new dentist.
While I was in dental school, I was involved in outreach organizations providing free dental treatment for underprivileged youth both in my local community, as well as throughout Californias Central Valley and in other countries such as Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Mexico. I have also been a part of a group of students who started a club to discuss professionalism and ethics in dentistry a club that eventually found its way into dental schools nationwide.
During my residency at Montefiore, I was able to further refine my knowledge of cosmetic dentistry, full mouth rehabilitation, and implant dentistry. Ive also retained a desire for continuing education, always working to ensure that my practice is on the cutting edge of modern and cosmetic dentistry.

Friendly and welcoming environment. Up-to-date technology and equipment. Staff took the time to explain in detail any questions I had. Would highly recommend Cedar Park Dental and Braces.

UPDATE: Dr. Stimmler is absolutely the best. After a horrific experience in Michigan getting veneers with a total of 9 of them coming off despite following all of the previous dentist's instructions Dr. Stimmler saved me. He replaced literally everything and my new veneers, well crowns, feel great and look amazing. I would show a before and after photo but I'm too embarrassed to even show the before with all the missing veneers. He is extremely sociable, kind, knowledgeable and pays extraordinary attention to detail. His entire staff is delightful and the office is very peaceful and nice. I've never had a more positive experience with a dentist before!

I went to see this dentist last year with the intention of getting a standard cleaning. I was met by a hygienist who explained to me that it was her first week at the office and that she "knew what she was doing, she just didn't know where everything was". Throughout the exam she stopped repeatedly, leaving the room to ask other hygienists questions. When the time came to probe for gum depth, she seemed very nervous. Each time she stuck the probe into my gums, there was a sharp pain. I squirmed and moaned. When she finally finished, she sighed and informed me that her measurements showed that I had deep pockets indicating stage-two, non-reversible gum disease. She said she would get the dentist, leaving me alone with the news for 20-30 minutes. Upon returning to the room with the dentist, they pulled up my X-rays on the tv in front of me. Of course, I don't know how to read an X-ray. They pointed to several areas on the picture which they said were bone loss caused by the supposed gum disease. "This condition can progress extremely fast, sometimes even in days. Your teeth aren't wiggling yet, but if we don't treat this immediately, they could fall out." They recommended the standard procedure for the condition--a "deep cleaning" followed by quarterly cleanings--and ushered me out to the front desk where I was to schedule the procedure for the next day. I left having received no cleaning and with tears streaming down my face. Over the next couple days, I returned to have the procedure done. Again, the hygienist repeatedly left the room, sometimes for 10 or 15 minutes, to ask her colleagues questions. After each portion of the procedure, I was walked to the front desk and asked to pay for a large portion of the cost. At the time, I didn't realize it was standard practice to first bill a patient's insurance and then bill them for the uncovered portion. A week later, I came in for a follow-up appointment, where I waited in reception for an hour past my appointment time. When I was finally taken back, I waited another hour alone in the chair before my hygienist came to greet me. About a month later, I got the bill from my insurance. Thousands of dollars on top of the nearly $1,000 I had already paid in-office. I'm in my 20's and find insurance to be confusing, but to the best of my knowledge, this is what happened: Although the office was "in network" with my insurance, they had attempted to bill insurance significantly more than what had been the approved range of costs for those procedures. Due to this violation, my insurance refused to pay the dentist for anything, and I was stuck with the entirety of the bill. This was a procedure that should have been completely covered for an in-network dentist. While trying to figure all of this out, the dental receptionist was hugely unhelpful and unaccommodating. This summer, I decided it was time to see someone new and was met with resistance when I called to ask for my X-rays to be sent to the new office. During the appointment, I explained to the dentist that I had been diagnosed with stage-two gum disease and was told I had permanent bone loss. This time, the probing didn't hurt at all, because the hygienist wasn't forcing the tool down past my pockets into my healthy gums. I was told I had no signs of gum disease. The dentist looked at my new X-rays and informed me I had no bone loss either. "Your gums are as healthy as can be". So here I am unsure of if I got scammed or was given an incorrect diagnosis due to the incompetence of this office. What I do know is that I'm angry. I'm angry that I paid an exorbitant amount of money for procedures that I didn't need. I'm angry that I spent a year distressing constantly over the state of my teeth and gums. I'm angry that I wasted my time going to a dentist that demonstrated such lack of care for the health and mental wellness of their patient.

Delayed finding a new dentist for 4 years after moving here. Couldn't give up my old one back home who we've had for 20 years. Should have come here immediately! Staff is amazing! Office is beautiful! Totally helped this nervous Nelly get over herself and get back into the routine of regular dental care.

As someone with severe dental anxiety, I am thrilled to say that Cedar Park Dental and Braces is awesome! Doctors Muniz and Stimmler are the best. Both doctors were very personable, patient, and caring, and, most importantly, highly skilled. The same can be said for their exceptional dental assistants and front office staff. I had not been to the dentist in several years, yet no one made me feel ashamed. I needed three crowns and Dr. Muniz was able to start on the first one immediately. She was very careful to make sure I remained comfortable and pain free.The office is equipped with the most advanced dental imaging equipment and dental tools I have seen. As a bonus, you can watch a movie or show on the overhead tv during your procedure! I highly recommend this practice.

They have been by far the best dental practice I have ever been to. They don't push for things you don't want and listen to your questions and concerns.

My family and I have been patients of Cedar Park Dental and Braces for several years. We enjoy how easy it has been to schedule appointments and when my husband and I had some work done the care we received before and after the procedures was great. My kids 7 and 4 even enjoy coming here which is a huge win for us. As patients without dental insurance we find their services to be affordable and appreciate that they offer in-house insurance options. Highly recommend!

By far the worst experience I have had with a dentist. They were all sweet and nice. But no up front costs presentation. FYI if you don't have insurance, it's $406 to be seen/initial exam. That's fine. Whatever. But then the dentist came in and said she couldn't help me with my temporary repair need until I can get an implant. $406 wasted.
