Services
Dr. Sofia Luque comes to Austin from Birmingham, Alabama, where she completed a residency in pediatric dentistry in 2008 and a master's degree in dental biomaterials in 2006, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She received her DDS in 2003 from Lima-Peru. Her background in Peru and Alabama has been very comprehensive, and it has shaped her approach to the practice of pediatric dentistry.
Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
Our office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience and when time is available. Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they are fresher and we can work more slowly with the child comfort. School age children for routine visits can be schedule through the day. Most treatment appointments will be schedule in the morning.
For more information concerning pediatric dentistry, please visit the website for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. The pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school, and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years.

Last time I was here had a good experience. Today I get told that there is no information about what I’m needing and no x-rays found on my son’s file. That I should have made sure my regular dental office emailed the x-rays. I did not have to worry about this last time. Usually I just give the name of the office and the referring office calls and gets the information they need. I’ve never heard of an office who has the patients doing all the work. What are the dental assistants for, who takes the calls. So basically I’m being told it’s my fault my son’s x-rays or information is not

This place wanted to take my kids to the back without me. The dentist told her assistant to tell me to find another dentist just because I refused the x ray. She couldn't even look at my kids she had to send her assistant out. This place deserves 0 stars. X rays expose your children to radiation and the doctors know this because they want people to stand outside during the imaging and they have to cover the children with blankets that can some what shield them from it but it really doesn't protect them and I don't think I should have to be forced to put my children through that so

I took my daughter to this dentistry, I like the dental staff, the highgenist and the Doctors. They were very informative and nice. The front desk is something different, I had a small issue and instead of going above and beyond or just doing their job they were argumentative. Telling me what they couldn't do. When I would try to explain one of them kept cutting me off. Seems like they did not want to listen to what I had to say. I ask for a copy of my receipt to be sent to my email address and one of the ladies says "I guess I can try to send you one" even after she took payment

Very peaceful, clean and kid friendly place. And, the team is awesome! We were there for our kid's dental checkup last week. Everyone was so helpful and knowledgeable about all the details of each process. Dr. Sofia Luque was very kind, sweet and patient. Our son also was very comfortable and happy.

They are TERRIBLE and I would NEVER go back nor recommend them to ANYONE. My son, who is on the Autism Spectrum was a patient there. He had to have fillings done and because of his sensitivities they told us that they could not do his fillings in their office. They said that they would have to use general anesthesia and that they only perform such procedures at the hospital where trained staff are on hand, they said that they had done it many times for several years; this made sense to me. They checked my insurance information and gave me an printout of the cost the hospital would charge and their

First visit with my 5 yr old son and it was a very pleasant experience. My son actually felt comfortable despite the fact that he's generally not around unfamiliar places and people. Staff took x-ray images and one of the staff was so good with children that she took the side images when the other nurse couldn't. I made two appointments and they were very accommodating to my tight schedule. Very pleased.

My son went in for a filling and a cap. It was never explained to me that I was not able to be in the room with him during this procedure. I was informed I can go back and see him at anytime. But then told I had to ask for permission and with the Doctor's /dentist approval I can then go back to see him. I never experience this before his last dentist always let me in the room for any procedure. I was about to cancel the appointment entirely but my son who is 9 said he would be fine. So I kept the appointment. He got the work done but Doctor/dentist never came to talk to me at all. He was

Amazing first dental appointment!!
My son is 2 years old. This was his first dental cleaning and checkup. Check in was seamless. We waited only a few minutes before they called us back. The hygienist was very gentle and patient. Dr. Luque was so sweet and informative. My son absolutely loved her!
Bonus: It was Halloween and everyone had on the cutest costumes...including Dr Luque!

I needed a dentist for my toddler and this fit the bill. My son loves "dinos" so this was perfect. As soon as we were taken into the dental area, she showed him 2 dragons with fake teeth and a toothbrush he could use. He loved them and was brushing their teeth.
My son hates having his teeth brushed and hates laying down. They had a special way where he faced me and played his head on the dentist's lap. It was much more comfortable for him and cried a little less. The assistant was amazing! She listened to everything I had to say and was a huge help. While he was getting his teeth

It is absolutely ridiculous how hard it is to get these people on the phone. Every time I call, I end up calling three or four times throughout the day because they don't have call waiting, so their line is always busy. When I finally get through, it's almost always voicemail. What kind of business doesn't have a multi-line phone system in this day and age??? Just because your name is Dentalsaurus doesn't mean you have to be living in the Stone Age!
This place also requires you to call and confirm your appointment a day or two before or else they will drop your appointment

I love this place, and I'm pretty sure my daughter felt the same way. We were on a hunt for a new dental home, one that really specialized in pediatric dentistry. I had seen the previous reviews about this place, and had really high hopes about it after our appointment was made. The check in process was so simple, and so quick, the wait wasn't bad at all. Inside the examination room were just so clean, and adorned with dinosaurs. Which was a huge plus. It felt inviting, very light and my daughter had a real positive reaction to the whole thing. What I appreciated was that they did take
