Paul Austin, DMD MPH

Dr. Austin and his staff are awesome. Dr. Austin is very honest and does not suggest unnecessary work. His office is very inviting and they are all great with the kids. I am very happy we chose Dr. Austin after visiting many other offices.

I have Dr. Austin as my sons ortho. Great doctor my son hardly experiences pain and his teeth are already way straighter in only couple months. He is usually in and out as I wait outside and the staff is awesome and friendly

Dr. Austin is simply put, the best orthodontist on the Westside for children and adults. As a dental healthcare professional for 26 years, I have worked with many orthodontists, and none have impressed me like this man. His joyful and informed attitude about his profession shine with each office visit. Having that sheepskin from Harvard doesn’t hurt!
Special attention must be paid to Perla, New Patient Coordinator and Denise, Appointment Coordinator. These professionals are bright, open and caring — and they know how to incorporate smiles and joy into the office setting.
I have a friend who is currently in treatment with Dr. Austin for adult Invisalign clear aligner orthodontics. Every time I see him he raves about the excellent care he is receiving. It’s never too late to improve your smile and Dr. Austin and Team really know the best way to achieve a new smile!
Also important to note, Dr. Austin really pays attention to the whole wellness of his patients — he is not narrowly focused on «teeth straightening.» With his love of surfing and all things outdoors, he helps his patients stay on track for a long, healthy life. The office has a great rewards program for children in treatment to make sure they are seeing their general dentist at appropriate intervals to ensure healthy gums and teeth — if only all orthodontists had this figured out.
This office is located in a lovely professional building in Santa Monica with gorgeous views. Kid and adult friendly — this is THE place for orthodontics.

I decided to get Invisilign here and I’m so glad I did! The place is really nice and open and there technology for Invisilign is really advanced. You don’t have to get the mold to start your treatment, it’s done all by a machine that touches each tooth and you watch them wrap your tooth on a screen. I live in San Diego now, so he also sends me my trays if I cant make it into the office which has been a HUGE lifesaver. If not for that, I doubt I could commit to anything like a year treatment timeline. Only downside is you have to pay to park in the garage, but I actually found street parking and saved the $ 8.00 or whatever by walking a block. I’m halfway done and can’t believe what an easy process it tuned out to be.

There are not enough good thigs I can say about Dr. Austin and his staff. From the beginning, I was greeted with such friendliness and the vibe in the office was so great and continued to be great throughout my treatment. My teeth look great and Dr. Austin and his staffs willingness to work with my crazy schedule and questions were an added bonus. I asked to speak with the doc a few times and he never failed to call me back right away with all the answers. He really is there to make you happy throughout your whole treatment and not just once you meet him and sign papers and I think that’s pretty cool.

Went today for a consult. My son is mid treatment and we are forced to make a switch. After examining him he noted that 2 wires were loose. Without charge or ANY commitment he offered to repair them! This is unheard of nowadays.
I highly recommend professionals of this caliber as they are rare.

THEEEEE BEST orthodontist! My teeth were horrible when I walked into his office but 2 years later Dr. Austin has given me a reason to smile again. He is very friendly and down to earth and his staff is so nice and accomodating. No to mention the view of the beach from the chairs is awesome. I recommend everyone that needs braces to go and see him, you won’t regret it.

AMAZING… Had Invisiline procedure done a couple years ago and results continue to amaze. Dr Austin was a highly personable doctor who took the time to explain everything and had the Harvard pedigree to match. Would highly recommend his practice.

I make the call & I am greeted by the receptionist who is very nice & lets me know that she is going to have the treatment coordinator take my call to answer any questions I may have & to schedule my appointment. The treatment coordinator informs me on what to expect for my 1^st visit from beginning to end!!! Very cool!!! A few minutes later I receive an email with directions to the office, information about Dr. Austin & the office along with a medical history form attached! Very Cool, again!!! I get there & everyone is wonderful, the office is amazing & Dr. Austin… the BEST!!! Very informative & didn’t seem rushed like most doctors I have met. Needless to say, I have started my journey to a perfect smile with the perfect orthodontist in Santa Monica. :-)

Dr Turley is hands down the best. His partner, Dr Paul Austin, is great too. He has been my daughters orthodontist since moving to Santa Monica 5 years ago. When she first started with him it was just to monitor the way her teeth were coming in. She saw him every six months for 3 ½ years and he never charged us a dime. We weren’t charged for anything until she actually got her braces put on a year ago. They do have payment plans too so you don’t have to fork out thousands of dollars all at once, and they take several different kinds of insurance. The staff is very nice, well informed, and remember you by name every time. As a bonus — Dr Turley does a pier party at the Santa Monica Pier every year for all of his patients. He buys all the kids (and adults who want them) wristbands and dinner. My daughter is even allowed to bring a friend.
