Services
Hafernik has been our family dentist for 35 years. The staff is always pleasant, professional and efficient. Dr. Hafernik is very knowledgeable and well informed on current advancements in dentistry. He always does quality work with a great sense of humor. I can't imagine ever going to another dentist.
Faithful visits to your dentist are important to keep your smile healthy and prevent extensive treatment. Catching a small problem now can save you money down the road and consistent care and dental exams can also prevent severe damage to your teeth. It's easy to put off dental visits until a problem arises, however consistent trips to your dentist may keep those problems from ever occurring. At Choice Austin Dental, we offer general dentistry services including teeth cleaning, dental exams and x-rays.
If you suffer from tooth loss, you aren't alone. Many Americans find it difficult to speak in public or even talk to friends and family because they are missing teeth and it has affected their self-confidence. Missing teeth can also make eating some foods difficult or uncomfortable. If you are looking for a solution, dentures could be the answer.
Looking for tooth replacement options in North Austin? At Choice Austin Dental in Jollyville, we offer state-of-the-art dental bridges to replace your missing teeth and give you a beautiful smile that you love. Our Austin dentistry goes the extra mile to ensure that you receive the personalized care you need and deserve!

Great Dental Care! I ALWAYS feel that everyone cares about me and wants to help in any way they can. It is (almost) a pleasure having my teeth cleaned! :)

Ms. Andi is the best! She is such a great hygienist and is so gentle and helpful with both me and my kids. My 8 and 10 year old boys are always happy to go to the dentist!

Nothing but high marks for Choice Austin Dental. Going to the dentist is one of those (usually really) unpleasant, 'have to' kind of things, but my first visit was great! I came in to Choice Austin Dental for a second opinion after a different practice had a pretty. aggressive. treatment plan that seemed very out of sorts for my normal dentist visits, and had pretty much ghosted me when I'd asked for copies of my initial X-rays.

Choice Austin Dental has far exceeded my expectations and made this visit really nice! Communications, both in-person and in the emails and text messages leading up to my appointment were friendly and pleasant. They're very personable, and give great explanation into your care and future care plans. I'm definitely coming back here.

Had a great first experience here. Dr. Madere was friendly and easygoing and helpful, and my hygienist Andy was adept and knowledgeable and we had a nice chat throughout my exam and cleaning. Scheduling has been very easy and the reply to my online request for an appointment was quick and effective.

I needed an emergency extraction, but was not looking forward to finding a new dentist in Austin (I am somewhat new to the area). I saw the reviews and decided to give it a shot, and I am very glad I did. Everyone at the office was super friendly and helpful, and made sure I was comfortable and knew what was going on. I am actually looking forward to my next visit to the dentist, and I will be bringing the whole family. Thank you Choice Austin Dental!

I for one, loathe going to the dentist. And I mean REALLY LOATHE it. But everyone here is so kind and welcoming. I had my first dental cleaning in 18 years and Andrea(Andi) was so caring and attentive and made sure to explain what she was doing and how I can improve my dental health moving forward. I 100% recommended this office!

I have seen the same small town family Dentist for 20 years. I recently moved to Austin and instead of driving an hour and a half to my old dentist I figured it was time to switch it up. Choice Austin responded to me incredibly fast! I wad able to be seen the next business day which was crazy since I sent my request on Sunday. I went in and everyone was so kind to me.

The front office manager was helpful and kind! Becky did my exam and cleaning and she was Phenomenal! And the doctor that saw me was friendly and informative. After all that I think it is safe to say I have a new favorite Dental office!

I have been going to Choice Austin Dental for about 4 years and have been completely satisfied with every facet of its business. Its longtime dentist, Dr. Hafernik, recently retired so I saw its new dentist, Dr. Nicholas Madere, this week for my annual check-up. He was very gregarious, energetic, and confidence-inspiring - a great member of an awesome staff. I never realized that dental exams could be so fun!

Such a great dentist! Dr. H is super friendly and knowledgeable, and all of the reception staff and hygienists were fantastic. They listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions, and made sure everything I needed was taken care of. I usually dread going to the dentist, but this was a great experience! Will definitely be coming back.

It was hard to find a dentist office that was still practicing right now with the whole pandemic going on, I looked around on here and google for good reviews and called around, Choice Austin was the only place open and willing to take me in the very next day, thank god I found this place, everyone here was beyond amazing! They actually cared and made me feel comfortable (I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to going to the dr ) I had to have an emergency tooth extraction, it was so fast and painless the whole operation took less than an hour, will definitely be making my way back here for all my dental needs. Strongly recommend!

Dr. Hafernik is the best dentist I've ever been to.and there's been plenty through the years plus in various states! Seriously, he's that good! I can't say enough positive things about him and his entire staff. They're all exceptional! Excellent experiences from implants, fillings, and teeth cleanings! A+ all around! Highly recommend!

I've been going to Dr. Hafernik for many years. I first went to see him when my teenage son needed to find a new dentist. Dr. Hafernik came into the waiting room and made a joke about who was his next patient. I think he said, "OK. Who is my next victim.uh patient." That won my son over right then. Everyone in the office is friendly and very efficient.

I never have to wait more than a couple of minutes. Tanya is a great hygienist. She's very gentle and is such a nice person. Everyone goes above and beyond what is required. I had an issue with a crown falling off my front tooth. (not a pretty sight). Dr. H was out of town and Christi was in the office doing paperwork. She let me come in and cemented the crown on to last until I could see the doctor. I really appreciated that. My whole family goes to Dr. Hafernik and will continue to go there as long as he is practicing.

Just came home from getting my teeth cleaned, may never eat again! They feel super. Tanya the one who cleaned them is just the best. This whole office of Dr. Hafernik's is tops. Family has been going to him since 1980. Having three sons, Maury has had to work miracles on them and their mishaps. He is the only dentist I would trust for telling you what really needs to be done. Would love to give them 10 or more stars for he is the best.

Been going to Maury for over 12 years. He is very knowledgeable and funny. The best part about his office is that they are always on time and I have never had a billing issue. So many doctors run late and don't respect your time! Can't recommend Maury enough.

My one and only dentist in N Austin (I know, who has 2?). We have been using this practice for 5 years and only had good experience.

My entire family has gone to Maury Hafernik since I was a child, love this office! Front office has always been so friendly through the years and they really have a great space and location in NW Austin. Very comfortable and beautifully updated in the waiting area. Hygiene appointments run on time, as does the check-out. Besides being an excellent doctor, Maury Hafernik is a wonderful person and a real family man too - you will feel at home in his office. I live in Los Angeles now and STILL go to this office when I come back to Austin regularly.

I have been going to see Maury since 1984 and won't change until he retires. I have never had an issue getting into see him, the staff work tirelessly to ensure insurance is filed correctly and get pre-estimates without an issue. I have Delta Dental and they take it there. I also am a bit of a wuss, and they always numb my gums before cleaning and have never felt anything during fillings.

When I needed my wisdom teeth out, he recommended I check out PPD Pharmaco - not many dentists would steer you toward a free option, but he said they do more than anyone else in town - why wouldn't you go there? I did and didn't have any issues. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this practice to anyone.

This dentist is as good as it gets in my opinion. He is 100% honest and will not try to sell you something you don't need. That says it all! I honestly look forward to getting my teeth cleaned. I completely trust him and his staff. And on top of it all he's hilarious!

Dr. Hafernik is a tremendous dentist. He's very personable and knowledgeable. He also has a terrific staff. The day I met with him he took me through the various options I had and indicated the ones he finds most reasonable to do. He didn't jump to the most extreme (yet probably profitable) treatment. He had excellent reasons and was able to illustrate clearly with x-rays the ways each option would work.

It made me feel well informed and helped me make my decision. I know I'm going in with the best choice for my health. I recommend checking his practice out. You'll be glad you did.
