Leo J. Sonnier, D.D.S.

Dr Sonnier is quite literally the best in the business. He has an amazing bedside manner and is extremely smart. He has been able to correct many teeth issues I have had — I am so thankful to have Dr Sonnier as my dentist. His entire staff is also kind, smart & comforting. I cannot say enough great things about Dr Sonnier and his staff. Wonderful establishment! Great people.

Dr. Sonnier is seriously the best dentist ever.
How can I make such a claim you ask?
Here’s how:
I suffered from debilitating, life-​altering TMD for 2 ½ years. Those of you who have TMD, you know what I am talking about. Those who do not, consider yourself hashtag blessed in this area of your life.
For 2 ½ years I went from doctor to dentist, dentist to prolotherapist, orthodontist to orthodontist, dentist to pain specialist– you get the picture.
I was on a merry-go-’round that was far from merry, and I desperately wanted off.
In that 2 ½ years, I cried. A lot. The pain was horrible.
I had times where I felt like giving up; depression that comes with chronic pain gripped my hand fiercely.
Unfortunately, all of the dentists I went to were unable to help me; some made my pain exponentially worse with their incompetence. Then, I was referred to Dr. Sonnier, and everything changed.
Little did I know that Dr. Sonnier was going to be my pot-​of-​gold-​at-​the-​end-​of-​my-​pain-​filled-​rainbow.
Dr. Sonnier listened, examined, and eradicated my pain in a very short amount of time. In fact, if he proclaimed Veni, Vidi, Vici in regard to my pain, I would be the first to don a Toga and give him a Roman high-​five. (disclaimer: I don’t know if Roman high-​fives exist; I just made that up).
Bad humor aside, I will be eternally grateful to Dr. Sonnier and his expertise.
I. Am. Pain-​Free.
I can now chew and speak without pain; but most importantly, I am able to be there 100% for my kids again, and participate in life again.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Sonnier.

I came into his office after my temporary cap fell out from my root canal. I wasn’t able to go to Houston to get my permanent crown in a week and a half, and my dentist in Houston made it sound like an extremely worrisome matter if it was out for that long.
I went into this office after seeing it on Unilocal,ready to throw down over a hundred dollars for a temporary that was going to be in for less than two weeks. He was sympathetic of the fact that I had already spent a lot of money on the permanent crown and told me that he doesn’t see a need for me to pay another $ 150 for a temporary. Instead, he gave me other options that will save my teeth before I get the permanent with no charge to me. He didn’t even charge me for the visit. I feel like I owe him this review. He was extremely professional and isn’t money hungry. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice, personable, knowledgeable, friendly dentist! I’m so glad I moved to austin and was forced to switch dentists. :) I –almost– enjoy going there. Almost. I’m tired of condescending dentists and hygienists. I know my teeth are crap– thats why I’m here.

I’m English by nature. which should give you enough information about my love re Dentists. However, since it was time to be a big boy and get my fangs checked out. I chose Dr. Sonnier, purely since he was close to my office. Setting the appointment was a breeze and upon arrival Chris, the front desk manager, handed me a questionnaire. I had never seen such a survey before. It was very comprehensive. I tried to make light of it by asking questions of Chris who smiled and laughed when she read my answers. BTW, she is extremely kind on the eyes gentleman and has a wonderful, bubbly personality. She took care of all my insurance stuff.
The actual exam was very though indeed and everyone made me feel very comfortable and relieved my fears that my teeth were not going to be pulled out anytime soon. Dr. Sonnier thanked me for being so complete with my answers on the exam with a smile… I guess my dry British humor was not lost on him. He explained to me that I needed a deep cleaning and after they get the results of the X-​Rays perhaps something else but I would to come back for my follow up prognosis.
I scheduled that for a week later and it was a very professional presentation with reviewing the X-​Rays and a treatment program was established. Two deep cleaning appointments and two small filings and I would be back up to speed. I scheduled my first cleanings and am of course completely freaked about how this is going down. But for now, these guys are pretty well on the ball.

I made an appointment with Dr. Sonnier after several of my friends and coworkers recommended him.
Dr. Sonnier is a great dentist, and I really liked all of his staff as well. I was nervous when I saw him because I had not been to the dentist in about 4 years, and because going to the dentist makes me nervous in general. Everyone there was very relaxing and comfortable.
Dr. Sonnier’s initial exam seems to be unusually thorough, which is great. Also, my teeth looked very nice after their long-​overdue cleaning. I wish I had made an appointment with him sooner — I’ll be going regularly now.
His office is conveniently located for most central Austin folks — 24^th and Longview, which is just up from Lamar near those tennis courts. There was ample parking when I visited.

Dr. Sonnier is an amazing dentist.
He is friendly but to the point, and explains problems and solutions clearly and reasonably.
He doesn’t recommend expensive work unless you absolutely need it.
His staff is excellent, including the front office staff.
All around, really professional and extremely helpful and kind people.
I couldn’t recommend this place more, I only wish I wasn’t moving far away now that I’ve finally found a good dentist.
Go to see him!
