Fred Wilbur, DDS

Dr Wilbur is hands down the best dentist I have ever had – knowledgeable, kind, great hands and caters to wimps like me. Won’t do unnecessary work, and is a superb craftsman. Love this guy and his staff. No wonder he’s one of the top dentists in Austin!

I recommend Dr. Wilbur to all my co-​workers, friends and family. The hygienists are friendly and careful, and Dr. Wilbur is very attentive. As many have reported, they take care of what is needed without pushing elective (unnecessary) procedures and work on you. They also take time to explain your options. It’s just so wonderful to go to a dentist who doesn’t make you feel like you are their personal piggy bank…

Dr. Wilbur & his staff always take such great care of me.
They keep their appointment times & get me in & out with no fuss.

If your dad or grandfather was your dentist, that’s what you have with Dr. Wilbur.

I don’t know what I’ll do when Dr. Wilbur retires as I hear too many stories of other dentists who like to do what seems to be unnecessary work. Dr. Wilbur is very gentle in both his technique and his manner.

OK my father is a dentist. so I know a thing or twenty about Crack Pots.
Dr. Wilbur is pretty much the first dentist that I have been to in Austin that didn’t say «you need caps» «We can get you a whitening formula» or «we can pull that metal filling out and use a composite»
Number 1 … not interested in veneers… they are for suckers.
Number 2 … I drink coffee … about 12 cups a day any whitening will quickly be undone … and I am NOT going to give up coffee, like I am NOT going to give up beer.
Number 3 … metal fillings on THE TOP TEETH can’t be seen, (unless you are intemet with someone, and by that time, pretty much no one cares.)
Dr. Wilbur isn’t quick to replace old work (provided it was done well) my wife had some work done 15 years ago (about 6 years before we met) that he only just replaced … and my filling (which finally gave out) 17 years it lasted … its a really good job, and I expect that it will be lasting for another 15 years at least.
About fillings in general: they feel a little chalky for the first week or so. and really don’t feel right until your next cleaning when they can polish it smooth.

Dr. Wilbur is the type of dentist that will not do any unnecessary treatments. He will «watch» instead of rushing expensive treatments. When treatment is needed, he is very open to customizing the treatment. His office handles the billing and will wait until the insurance pays up before expecting payment from the patient. The dental hygienist seem to me to be a little rough though.
