And it’s just evolved into a full time job and I’ve been here since 2003 and I love it. My experience here before I came to work here when I first came as a patient and had the toothache, I was blown away when I walked in the door. I couldn’t believe that there were dental offices out there that looked like this. Like I said, my dad is also a dentist and we’re from a small town and he also has a very nice office, but there’s definitely no dental spas in small towns in north Texas.

And so I was really shocked just by the way the office appeared and the way that they treat you and how Dr. Mark just genuinely cares about his patients and the treatment that they receive. I started talking about having the veneers done and I started talking to my dad about it and what he thought about me having that done. He doesn’t do a whole lot of cosmetic work. And when I asked him he said that he thought it was a good idea if that’s what I wanted to do and that there was no one else out there that he would let touch his daughter other than himself and Dr. Mark. And he said if you want to have that done, he said he is the one to do it and he’s the best. And I think that really says a lot for Dr. Sweeney coming from another dentist and another colleague. And so I had the - - veneers done and I love it. I wouldn’t go back.

I get so many compliments and I like also being able to show the patients in person what it looks like and what the results can be. And people say stuff all the time. They say oh you have such a beautiful smile or how do you keep your teeth so white? And I just tell them I have a great dentist. And tell them you know you can have it, too.

And two days before I was going to go have that procedure done by this other dentist, a friend of mine we were talking and she told me about her husband came and saw Mark Sweeney. So I ran over to her house and saw her husband’s teeth and canceled my appointment with the other guy and came here and met Mark and I have been so happy with the results that I got from Mark. We spent a long time on them and I just appreciated that he was always happy to see me and even though it took a long time, he was more than happy to make it perfect how I wanted it.

I’d recommend Dr. Sweeney to somebody else because I’ve been to as many dentists as I think there are in Austin looking for the right dentist and he is fabulous at delivering you quality results. And I love the fact that I can come see him week after week after week after week and the only time he’s ever charged me was for my first visit. So I knew exactly how much it was going to cost and he’s so dedicated to delivering you a quality product.

And we love the results. It’s been great. You’re made to feel special like you’re the number one patient in here. You’re greeted with a smile always, always. And bottled water. Everybody’s nice. Everybody has a smile. Nobody is ever in a bad mood in here. Never. Well I always liked to smile, but I always kind of put my hand in front of my mouth. So now I smile all the time. I’m just proud of it. It’s like it’s made me feel younger. It’s just made me feel so much better about myself.

So anyway, just confident and I smile in every picture because people used to be like why don’t you smile. It’s always your friends who have nice teeth that say why aren’t you smiling. Well why do you think you know. So I don’t know if you’ll see the before or not, but you’ll see the difference. I would recommend him because he is excellent at what he does. He is and I believe that you can have all the experience in the world. You can be improving teeth for 20 years which I think he has plus.

But there’s also talent. I think I get a talent that you either have or you don’t and an eye for it because it is kind of like an artistry. You know you can make the tooth a little longer, a little shorter, the color. I mean there’s a million variables and he just has a skill and a talent for doing that. And I love the people. - - I will not give my business to any business that I don’t, I’m treated well. You know the women and the people that work here are very friendly and genuinely friendly, eager to help and it’s just a fun environment. And it’s very comfortable. That’s another big thing is comfort is a key thing. You know a lot of people freak out at the dentist and you don’t here. You know it’s just a, it’s like a small environment.

It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever done. Very, very happy with it. I wore my temporaries for about two to three weeks and made a few minor changes and got them exactly where I wanted them to be. And it’s been fabulous. I absolutely love my smile. I get compliments constantly and even though it wasn’t something I really needed, it’s totally changed my smile and how I feel about it. Anyone that fears a dentist shouldn’t fear coming here for veneers because it’s a piece of cake.

And then there was a picture. I looked for the picture and it was me and my best friend and he has like this beautiful smile white perfect teeth that are just all natural. And I had these horrible little, I just looked at my smile and I thought God that’s horrible. I’m like I’m doing it. The next day I called. As soon as I saw that picture, I called and I was like I’m coming in. I’m getting it done, I’m doing it. And so here I am and I’m much, much happier.

I love Dr. Sweeney. I actually found Dr. Sweeney on I Googled and I was trying to look for the best you know cosmetic dentist because I had a regular dentist. I didn’t really you know that’s a little bit scary to go through all this. You know you want it to look good. And I’ve seen people with bad veneers. And so I found Dr. Sweeney and I loved him. He was so funny and he has a little longhorn thing on his tooth and I’m a big longhorn. And so we kind of had that in common and he was just really nice and obviously knew his stuff and had a lot of experience and lots of training. And I was just impressed with everything about him and all the staff here as well.

We’ve been able to take care of patients who were so phobic they couldn’t even bring themselves to come in the front door the first couple of times they made appointments. And we’ve been able to utilize this technology and this approach to get all of their dentistry done in less than a half day appointment.
