To say that Dr. Kunik is AMAZING would be an understatement. The man will not stop until your smile is absolutely PERFECT! I think the biggest difference you will find with Dr. Kunik is that he CARES and takes pride in what he does. Not only is he a FABULOUS and GIFTED orthodontist but he is ALWAYS happy. Both he and the staff will go out of their way to make you feel right at home. You're missing out if you go anywhere else....

Dr. Kunik is the absolute best Orthodontist in Austin. I've had twisted teeth all of my life. My daughter and son are both in the process of having their teeth corrected by Dr. Kunik. I hadn't considered braces for myself until during a routine teeth cleaning, my dentist noticed a cavity forming where my teeth were twisted and overlapped. He said that cavities are more likely to form where my teeth are turned and difficult to floss.
I spoke to Dr. Kunik about the possibility of improving the health of my teeth. He talked with me about the different kinds of dental braces and possible surgery to correct my bite condition. He didn't feel that Invisalign would work as well for my situation as conventional or lingual braces. I opted for the lingual braces which are placed on the tongue side of the teeth and are not visible when speaking to others. Very important for my job.
The brand of lingual brace is the iBrace. All I can say is wow! These things are magic. They had my teeth turning and lining up almost immediately. I was told with normal braces to expect 18mos. I already have the bottom braces off at 10mo. And expect to be completely done at 1 year. Awesome, and my teeth are perfect. Getting the bottom braces off today is what prompted me to write this review.
I've had Dentists all my life try to sell me something that they could do in the office. I'm so glad I waited to have a specialist perform the work. I figured I only have one set of teeth and I shouldn't take any chances. Its really pretty amazing how happy you can feel just from having straight teeth. Its really hard to find good service anymore and that is why I wrote this review. If you have any doubts about my sincerity just go get the free consultation and your doubts will be gone! The other reviews are spot on about his office. Definitely a First Class practice.

My son, Tyler, looks and feels wonderful upon removing his braces after 2 years of an excellent experience with Dr. Kunik and his wonderful and friendly staff. We heard he was the best orthodontist and we are convinced going with him was the right decision. As a elected City Councilperson for the City of Bee Cave in the Lake Travis area, I bypass several orthodontists to get to Dr. Kunik's Westlake office. I did my research and it paid off! It's not just that he is a very knowledgable perfectionist and shows passion for and professionalism in his work. It's not just that his office is state of the art with the latest equipment. It's also not only that there are nintendo wall games in his very pleasant and clean waiting room for children to enjoy (though he runs his appointments on time so get there early if you want to enjoy playtime). It's more than that! Dr. Kunik genuinely cares about his patients; he's exceptionally easygoing, fun, and relates to kids at their level in a relaxing and non-intimidating manner. At first I thought he was a little more expensive, but then I realized my friends who were supposedly paying a bit less elsewhere were following a multiple phase with multiple payment path that turned out to cost them more money in the longrun!!! It was easy; I only had to get my son to his office and sit to view them do their work if I wanted, while Dr. Kunik and his staff took great care of all the rest! I feel lucky that we went with Dr. Randy Kunik as his great work will last for a lifetime and is a smart investment in a person's self confidence.
