Sweta Tailor, DDS

Pleasant, efficient and all around great. The office staff are thorough and helpful. I had an insurance issue and they contacted me to inform me of the issue giving me plenty of time to get it resolved before the appointment.

Hands down best dental office I’ve ever visited. The staff are professional, not pushy, and gentle. Dr. Tailor is methodical, prudent, and is also very kind. They don’t lecture and I am always in and out quickly.

I have been going to Dr. Taylor for 8 – 9 years and I hope to always have her as my dentist. She is incredible. She is professional and does an amazing job, always. Her entire staff truly care about patients and the well-​being of our teeth/​mouth. You will not be disappointed. I am excited to take my 3 year old daughter to get her first check-​up/​cleaning.

This place is great. Because I work in retail, I’ve had to reschedule an appointment with them in the past and it was no big dealio. They were understanding and helpful. And the service was great! They even have a little rubber piece they tuck between your face and the dark glasses so that they don’t slip. .. now that’s some thought!
Dr. Tailor is a reasonable person with great knowledge. She explains what she’s doing as she does it and that makes me comfortable.
I shall return!

I really like Dr. Tailor’s office. Dr. Tailor herself is very knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner.
Her staff are professional and helpful when I need to change an appointment. I’ve never felt pressured here to do cosmetic procedures as I have in other dentists’ offices. So far so good!

All the staff is nice. Sweta Tailor is always very pleasant. She gives education and dental tips without a hint of judgement.
Place is clean and quiet.

I just had my first appointment with Dr Tailor last week. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a few years (awful, I know!), so I was very nervous. Dr. Tailor and her staff immediately put me at ease. The office is so welcoming and there are TVs above each dental chair (so that the patients have something fun to focus on throughout the appt). Dr. Tailor explains all procedures in a thorough, caring manner and takes as much time as needed. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received. I also received a note in the mail a few days later, welcoming me to the practice… and it included a hand-​written message from Dr Tailor. I love the personal touch! If you need a new dentist, go see Dr Tailor and her team!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Tailor for five years, visiting twice a year for routine cleanings and exams. I’ve always enjoyed those visits and felt that I was in good hands. But now I have a more challenging procedure: replacing an old crown at the front of my mouth. Phase 1 (removal and placing a temporary) went very well. Although I expected an unpleasant experience (due to the nature of the procedure), it wasn’t. Dr. Tailor is very skilled, thorough and gentle, and the temporary crown, which she created on site, looks far better than the one she removed. A big plus: Dr. Tailor is a lovely person, and she has great staff members. She also has a nice, modern new office. Highly recommend her.

Hands down THE most gentle dentist I have ever had the pleasure of using.
If I ever move from Austin I will fly in just for dental procedures!
Thanks Doc for installing those TVs, makes the whole thing go by fast and painless.

I tried Dr. Tailor’s office for the first time and I will say that I enjoyed the visit.
First — I did not make things easy for her staff in returning their calls promptly (sorry), but they were very nice when I showed up and made it a point to get all my paperwork in order — prior to treatment. The front desk staff really went above and beyond in my opinion to ensure that I didn’t have a bill at the end of the service and I really appreciate that.
The hygienist was very thorough and as others have noted — explained everything in great detail. The subtraction of a one star is only because they still use the old style xrays that scratch your gums all up. I think the bitey plastic things are gross and prefer the newer digitized gum xrays that some offices have. But, even with that said I would recommend the office to my loved ones.
Not to be forgot the Dr. was quite nice and spent time answering my questions.
A+ to the team for not hassling me into buying the fluoride treatment or whitening gel. I was able to ask questions and I never felt like they were making a hard sell to get me to buy anything. I’ll go back in six months and hope that in 3 years when I need new x-​rays that the machine is upgraded.

Dr. Tailor is the first private-​practice dentist I’ve visited that hasn’t been based in a teaching facility and it was an absolute pleasure. One of the most difficult things about moving somewhere new is finding doctors (primary, eye, dentist, etc.) that compare to your old ones. Her staff was extremely nice and did a great job explaining everything that they were doing/​checking in my mouth. They appear to have a great electronic medical records system, which is a huge step up from the paper-​based system at my old dentist.
As a UT Graduate student, I had opted for the UT Select Delta Dental insurance plan. The entire cost of X-​rays, prophylaxis, and cleaning was completely covered by the insurance. The optional fluoride treatment was the only thing not covered and it was only $ 20. If you’re a UT student looking for a dentist that takes your insurance, I highly recommend Dr. Tailor.

Dr. Tailor explains the options available to me, helps me make a decision, & then explains what she’s doing to my teeth as she’s doing it. Her diagnosis was also much more reasonable than a different dentist; they wanted to do like $ 7K worth of work, and Dr. Tailor was all, «Nah, we can just do this instead, & it’ll just be a few hundred.»
Her receptionist, Sandy, is great, too, always responding quickly to my emails, remembering my personal preference for early morning appointments & even getting in touch to change my appointment time if an early morning becomes available.
You can receive appointment reminders via text message &/​or email, which is quite convenient.
I’m quite satisfied with Dr. Tailor as my dentist. All other dentists should just leave Austin, really.

Let me first say that this is my first Unilocal review, and I feel really strange publicly endorsing things with my face and name attached, but I had such a good experience here that I actually felt compelled to do so!
I, like pretty much everyone else on the planet, hate going to the dentist, but Dr. Tailor and her staff made my appointment a remarkably pleasant experience — yes, they still stuck drills and xray pieces and sharp hooks in my mouth, but it wasn’t any more uncomfortable than usual. In fact, both Dr. Tailor and the hygienist went out their way to make me comfortable, taking into account my TMJ which makes it difficult to keep my mouth open for long periods of time.
Everyone I met was also genuinely friendly and kind, and there was a complete lack of the judgey attitude that I’m used to from dentists — no pointed questions about how often I floss, no lectures of any kind. As someone who procrastinates on dentist appointments because I’m afraid I’ll have gum disease or cavities or need a root canal, I really appreciated how matter of fact they were in evaluating and cleaning my teeth (there were no problems, for the record — my only diagnosis so far is out of control hypochondria. Self-​diagnosed of course).
The only snag was when the hygienist accidentally popped out the end of my permanent bottom retainer while flossing, but she and Dr. Tailor were able to glue it back on very quickly with no problems. They also loaded me up with samples — when I mentioned I’d been using Biotene toothpaste and mouthwash due to canker sores, I was given samples of both, as well as the pointy threading floss that they used to floss under my retainer. Finally, I received both a follow up email and letter in the days following my appointment, a very professional gesture which I appreciated. It seems like Dr. Tailor takes a lot of pride in her work and wants to build a good relationship with her clients, and she hires people who have the same attitude.
Unfortunately, I’m moving abroad before I’m due for my next check up, so I won’t be able to come back, but I highly recommend Dr. Tailor to anyone who is looking for a new dentist in the area!

I attended my first appointment with Dr. Tailor today, and it couldn’t have been any better. She, the receptionist, and the dental assistant were all extremely welcoming and kind. Dr. Tailor took the time to explain everything that she was doing and thoroughly answered any questions I had with respect and without the condescending brevity that many physicians and densists often do when they assume everyone should know as much. I strongly recommend visiting this office if you’re searching for a dentist. I plan to return.

Cat’s out of the bag, Unilocal.I found Dr. Tailor on this very site and vowed that I should keep my mouth shut so I wouldn’t have competition for appointments. Now that I’m leaving our fair city I can go ahead and tell you that Dr. Tailor is the best dentist I’ve ever had and I will miss her. She’s super-​professional, hires great assistants, and my teeth are doing fantastic.
At first I thought she was a little over-​zealous but after a few years of almost no dental issues I’ve decided that this isn’t a problem. You know how most doctors/​dentists just go to work on your face and don’t say much? I never cared for that, and haven’t felt that way here. Dr. Tailor is very communicative and also kind.
Highly recommended.

I’ve bounced around lots of different dentists in my life and few have the combination of the friendliness, expertise, and modern facilities that Dr. Tailor has.
She is always very welcoming and actually remembers who I am. Her assistants are also very courteous and I feel do a good job of my usual routine cleaning. I feel very at ease discussing any issues I have and she seems to give great advice. I think she also pays very close attention to the details of her work.
I was in her old office before (about 1 – 2 yrs ago) and it was nothing special but the new office is amazing! I love the modern look and openness of it all. It’s just a remarkable calming ambiance compared to all my previous dentists and their confined rooms.
I would readily recommend Dr. Tailor to my friends. I just hope her popularity doesn’t impact the high quality of service she has right now. :)

Sweta Tailor is awesome! Her dental hygienists are very gentle, and well informed. Did a thorough job of my teeth cleaning (Jessica). moreover, Sweta looked at my teeth right after and even though i had some minor imaginary pain she said everything looked ok but not without checked various things out. gotta love a dentist who doesnt recommend unnecesary things. went back for a cavity i knew was pending — she is so gentle and explains everything she’s about to do in a calm, soothing voice. she even called back personally to check on how i was doing the next day! She is super sweet her hygienists are super nice.

This place is super nice and Dr. Tailor is so nice and gentle! She told me exactly what was wrong with my teeth and did not pressure me to the ton of dental work I need. She was understanding and told me exactly what my insurance would cover.
She is very knowledgeable, sincere and is definitely not in the business for money. I highly recommend her to Austinites! Also, the office is clean and fancy!

I’ve been going to Dr. Tailor for the past few years after my friend highly recommended her for general dentistry. I’d had some poor experiences with dentists in the past and was in search for someone thorough, attentive and gentle. Going to the dentist is not most people’s favourite experience, however Dr. Tailor makes it as painless as possible. She always listens to my complaints and tries to be proactive about my dental issues e.g. making me a night guard for my grinding teeth or putting sealants in to try to prevent cavities. She has a gentle manner about doing dental work on patients and it helps make going to the dentist not as painful. The bottom line for a lot of dentists out there is the $$$, but I really feel that Dr. Tailor is respectful and realistic about what really needs to be done for my dental issues.
She has recently moved offices and it was a great move! The office is modern, spacious and has the most up-​to-​date equipment. I enjoy the TV screens at each of the office chairs and makes the time fly by when in the chair. She also has a digital x-​ray machine so that she can show me where she’s found a cavity, etc. I recently also was able to get work done by her hygienist, who was just as gentle as Dr. Tailor. The front-​end staff are also very efficient and diligent with billing and reminding me about my appointments…
I would highly recommend Dr. Tailor for anyone looking for a new dentist.

When you first meet Dr. Tailor, you’d think her name is Dr. Sweet Tailor — she is just this sweet, soft spoken Indian woman. But then she went all Freddy Kruegger in my mouth — seemed to actually take the enamel off my teeth she was scraping so hard with her steel claws (or that metal hook thing). I thought I would need a blood transfusion afterwards — I’m exaggerating only somewhat. I do grind my teeth, and it had been almost a year since my last appointment. Still, it’s been a while since someone used that thing which should be banned, with such physical force. Dr. Tailor was extremely knowledgeable, and I did learn several things… she just didn’t have that soft touch that mirrored her gentle demeanor. I just don’t believe you have to scrub and scrape so hard with the metal hook of death to have clean teeth, and my last few dentists I think have proved this.
And to echo Laura’s sentiments, the X-​ray machine is that terrible thing that i haven’t used in what seems like 10 years — where you have to jam these large pieces of plastic 15 times into your mouth that make you want to gag and cut your gums at the same time — just horrendous piece of equipment that I think is used for torture in some pig-​me countries.
