Dr. Poest graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2010. He immediately fled the cold and headed to Austin where he has been practicing ever since. He dragged his beautiful girlfriend and now wife, Stacie, with him. They enjoy the great restaurants Austin has to offer. You can find them regularly at any one of the music venues around town or hiking with their two dogs, Clark and Harry. During Dr. Poest's time practicing dentistry here in town, he focused on using the latest technology to provide patients with the best crowns and bridges available. He noticed that even though the technology was getting better and the work was getting simpler, prices continued to skyrocket, making dentistry increasingly unaffordable. Dr. Poest became frustrated with this trend and decided it was time to disrupt the industry. Dr. Poest is proud to say that he believes his work is paying off, and that this is just the beginning of making top quality dentistry affordable for everyone.

Can't say enough good things about this place. Excellent staff and Dr. Poest was very very good. The 599.00 is just that....599.00, no gimmicks, no hidden fees. Even if my insurance does not cover any of it I came off ALOT less expensive than if they had covered as expected atmy regular dentist. They helped me with the insurance paperwork though and with any luck, my visit will have be half the 599.00. Thanks Simply Crowns!!!!

Excellent staff, my dentist told me I have a cracked molar that needed a crown, after I had paid them $700 for a filling a month prior. They wanted another $1500 for the crown. Needless to say I wasn't happy about this. I wanted to get a second opinion, and looked at a few places before deciding to go to simply crowns. I expected him to confirm the prior dentists opinion, but to my surprise, after he took an X-ray, he said he didn't see a crack. He told me he wanted to try reducing the amount of filling that the other dentist had put in my cavity. I went with his recommendation and I'm glad I did! The pain has been reduced to almost nothing! If I do ever need a crown, I will definitely be coming back here! Thanks for everything and for saving my wallet as well!

This company is LEGIT. Overall, they 'care'. They care about your needs, they care to make things right, they care about the money they can save you, they care about making your experience great, and they care about the professionalism and cleanness of each office. I trust them wholeheartedly and will be a lifelong patient. Before you allow any dental office to do anything other than a cleaning, I highly recommend you schedule an appointment with Simply Crowns. They have saved me over $2K. I cannot say enough great things about them!

At the San Marcos location I was treated very respectfully and it was a relaxed environment. I was clearly advised of the procedure and process that would take place without any pressure. Within an hour of arriving I had a temporary crown in place. The Doctor and his associates were professional, courteous and provided what they advertise. My permanent crown arrived sooner than expected and was fitted in place in a few minutes. I would not hesitate to return if I needed to pursue another crown. Thanks for providing a great alternative from the conventional dentistry practice for this procedure.

My wife cracked two molars and needed two crowns. We live in Cedar Park and drove to the San Marcos location as they had an appointment the next day. The plan was to do the second visit in Austin but my wife had such a wonderful experience with all three gentlemen we drove back to San Marcos for the second visit. I work in health care and truly appreciated their professionalism and they all made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. My wife is terrified of Doctors and especially Dentists, they took plenty of time and made her comfortable and relaxed. Her only complaint was Dr. Ben does not do regular dentistry as he would be our families Dentist now if he did. In an era when everyone is trying to get as much money from people as they can, Simply Crowns offers a wonderful service at a great cost.

Another dentist wanted to charge me over $2000 to fix a cavity and replace a crown. I brought my x-rays with me. The doctor reviewed my x-rays and then made more. NO CAVITIES. No need for any work. I came expecting to get a new crown. What a blessing.

My regular dentist told me I needed a crown. His cost $1200, I went to Crowns Only in San Marcos for a consultation as they quoted me a price that was half what my regular dentist guoted. After xrays and consultation with the dentist there they told me I did not really need a crown. I was blown away by their honesty and professionalism. A great bunch of people. Highly recommended. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you Crowns Only.

This is a transparent and honest business. I went in for a 12 year old crown replacement, which was strongly recommended by my dentist even though I have not had problems with the crown. My dentist was going to charge $1600 for the work, so I went to see Dr. Ferguson at Simply Crowns. After x-rays and a consultation, Dr. Ferguson said everything looked fine and recommended to not change the crown unless there was an issue. I was going to be happy to pay the $599 compared to my dentist's $1600 quote, but he did not even charge for the visit or x-rays. I will be back if I ever have an issue.

I've been self-conscious about my front tooth for awhile. I chipped it years ago and had a composite filling on it. It didn't reflect light and it was discolored. During my last few dentist visits, I'd request them to give me an estimate to replace with a crown. Each time, the estimate would come back from my insurance at $3,600+. My friend mentioned using Simply Crowns and loving them, so I did my research and found that no matter what tooth they put a crown on, it was $599. I met with Dr. Poest and felt confident that my smile would be fixed. I am beyond happy with the results and highly recommend this business. Thank you Simply Crowns!

Absolutely AWESOME! The first time in my life I had a "digitally made" crown and it fit perfectly without ANY adjustments. Dr. Poest and the entire staff at Simply Crowns are awesome! I will never get a crown anywhere else again in my life!

This company is a winner. Dr. Poest is an excellent dentist who takes his time to ensure the best possible results. His staff is the best too. In addition to being the best, their prices are great. Not only that but he has negotiated excellent rates with some of the best oral surgeons in the area. You can't go wrong with Simply Crowns.
