Randy Kunik, DDS

Randy Kunik rocks. Everything is a breeze from the front desk to completion. I felt very taken care of and listened to. The office is beautiful and up to date. As an adult it was hard to concede to braces again but with his Invisalign process, no more wires brackets and embarrassing metal! Woo Hoo

Thanks Unilocalers! Because of your awesome reviews I found Dr. Kunik’s office.
I had been interested in Invisalign for quite some time, but was having difficulty locating an orthodontic professional that had good reviews, as well as flexible payment plans – then I found Dr. Kunik’s office!
From the beginning to the end of this treatment I’ve had nothing but good vibes and good results with this team! Prior to treatment, my teeth were fairly crowded at the bottom. When I got my first consultation Dr. Kunik & his staff gave me a sneak preview of how my teeth would look after my trays were complete. That was so fun! It gave me hope for the future. LOL! Now I can’t even remember my teeth ever looking like that. Dr. Kunik & his team were so precise and so swift, I feel like my teeth moved overnight!!! In actuality, it took about a year and a half (for my case), but I enjoyed EVERY appointment and check up with the team. This was the first time in my life that I can say I was consistently looking forward to going to the dentist! :) The office atmosphere is so friendly – you can clearly tell that the staff love what they do and are dedicated to their craft.
If you are interested in Invisalign and live in the Austin area, look no further! It has been a joy to be a patient for Dr. Kunik and his staff!

I did my homework before I decided where to get my Invisalign /​braces done, so believe me when I say: this place is the best! Not only the office is very nice, but the staff EVERY SINGLE ONE is so friendly and nice. At first, I thought it was going to be like those situations where they are trying to get you into something (car/​apartment) they are very nice and right after you sign, puff! Everyone stops being nice, not here. The other 4 places I went to, were not anywhere near Dr Kunik’s office. Remember those impressions with play dooh like green stuff? . Not here, it’s all fancy smancy, no mess, no uncomfortable feelings;) All around the crème de la crème on Invisalign, and the best part?, it was not the most expensive. Go now, smile and thank me later: D

I love going to this office! Everything about Dr. Randy Kunik’s office is awesome. From the moment you walk into the office you truly feel cared for. They are always on time and so professional. I am an older patient and needed Invisalign braces. Dr. Kunik patiently and cheerfully explained the process & after 2 months I am truly able to say that everything is going perfectly. All questions are answered as if I was their only patient. The entire office staff is so kind. I have to single out Beatrice Fabela, Orthodontic Technician and Patient Manager: she is THE best, nicest, most caring individual. Dr. Kunik has assembled a great team to assist him in creating perfect smiles! I can highly recommend him!

Extremely satisfied with my invisalign so far! The staff here are very professional, informative, and welcoming. I always feel like they actually care about me and my teeth! No hidden cost, everything is up front and honest. Making appointments is a breeze, they aren’t at this location on Fridays in case Fridays is your only errand day. They are currently expanding some and it is looking great! I would recommend Dr Kunik to anyone thinking about any type of ortho work! I believe he is rated #1 for Invisalign in the area as well. I drive all the way from Pflugerville and it is well worth it!

Dr. Kunik and staff are the best. My daughter Taylor has a beautiful smile. Her grandmother has been in the dental field for over 20 years saw all the great results Dr Kunik and knew that was where my daughter belonged. He is a perfectionists and he and his staff are caring and treat each patient with great personalized care. Thanks Dr Kunik!!!

If you want the best orthodontic care with unbelievable results, you want Dr. Kunik and team. I had a difficult case and after consulting with several orthodontists, Dr. Kunik was the one person who put me at ease and made me feel like he had my best interest at heart. Most of the orthodontists I consulted with told me they wouldn’t touch me unless I had surgery. Dr. Kunik agreed that surgery was the best option, but really listened to me and was willing to leave the door open for other routes as well. The icing on the cake was that Dr. Kunik was the only orthodontist in town who said he could fix me with invisalign, instead of traditional wire braces. As an adult, this was great news! And to top it all off, Dr. Kunik’s pricing was super competitive — in fact, his invisalign quote was actually lower than a traditional wire braces quote I received from a competitor.
Once we got started, Dr. Kunik put me in touch with a top notch surgeon and dentist and the three had great communication with each other about my case throughout the process — saving me the hassle of explaining to each doctor what the other said after each appointment — all the doctors and myself were seamlessly on the same page. When the time came to get serious about preparing for surgery, Dr. Kunik’s expertise with invisalign paid off for me – I had progressed so well with invisalign that I didn’t need to have the surgery after all! Whoo-​hoo! This was a dream come true and something every other orthodontist in town told me was impossible.
In addition to exceeding my expectations and doing what no one else in town told me they could do (fix my bite without surgery using invisalign), the entire process was super easy. Dr. Kunik’s staff is amazing — super friendly, super supportive, very knowledgeable. It was always very easy to schedule an appointment and I never had to wait once I arrived.
Overall, if you want the best orthodontic care, go see Dr. Kunik and team. I honestly can’t think of one negative and am loving me new smile. If you want great personality and amazing expertise in a doctor who truly cares about his patients, Dr. Kunik is your man. I have two young children — when it comes time for them to get braces, Dr. Kunik and team is the only place we will go.

Dr. Kunik was an absolute lifesaver. I came across his office from Unilocal and decided to make a consult appt. I was a transferred pt with braces already on however, I was not happy with the treatment prior to Dr. Kunik. Had I not changed orthodontists mid treatment I surely would not be as happy with the finished results courtesy of Dr. Kunik. He and his staff went above and beyond my greatest expectations. At long last I’m proud to smile! :)

I made two appointments for my daughter to visit two orthodontists so she could have a choice and after visiting Dr. Kunik I don’t think we will go to the other one. For someone like myself who likes to look at all evidence possible before making a decision, my sentiment to not bother anywhere else is amazing myself and my husband! For all these reasons:
1) staff was so helpful when I called to set up the appointment
2) staff got records from our dentist and I had to fill out no paperwork for our first appt. (for a full time working mom trying to balance two active kiddos– I really appreciated them streamlining this for me)
3) There was something to entertain my younger son while we waited but then the wait was less than 60 secs!!!
4) The consultation was thorough and I felt very confident with Dr. Kunik’s assessment
5) The office decorum among the providers and support team was professional, team building and energetic
6) team acknowledged my son as well as my daughter who was the patient
We have not even started our treatment yet and I was hesitant to write in so soon but then again, first impressions do count and I thought I would write in saying they really made one phenomenal first impression.

I was one of those people who figured nothing would happen if I stopped wearing my retainer a few months after getting my braces off.
Yeah…wrong.
10 years later and it was time for ortho, round 2. I had consultations with 5 orthodontists around town. Dr. Kunik was my favorite by a long-​shot for a number of reasons:
— He’s very personable, laid-​back but professional. Great office staff as well.
— He gave me 3 options of routes we could take, depending on what kind of outcome I wanted, my budget, etc. Many of the others I had consultations with told me I needed all sorts of things that weren’t necessary for prices that were double and triple.
— His pricing was the least expensive by far as well and the treatment time was the shortest by far as well. He also charged the same for Invisalign and braces, while all the orthos charged far more for Invisalign.
— In the pricing, they also included free teeth bleaching.
My treatment is almost over and I love how my teeth are looking. (:

I have (or now, had) an underbite/​cross bite caused by a car accident when I was 14 where my jaw was broken and not aligned properly. During the almost decade and a half of having this issue, I have come across many orthodontists and never liked a single one. All of them either asked me why I was at their office an not an Oral Surgeon’s (even though oral surgeons had sent me to them), tried to bamboozle me into years of orthodontic work that I didn’t need, or told me I wasn’t a good candidate for Invisalign and that I would need years of braces — even though I have pretty straight teeth.
When I finally found the Oral Surgeon that would go on to fix my issue (Dr Widner), he had me facetime with Dr Kunik to figure out my treatment. To my surprise, Dr Kunik told me I would only need about a year of Invisalign, then braces for the surgery. A year! Not 4, 5, 6 years that these other orthodontists were alleging I needed. I promptly made an appointment.
When I first met Dr Kunik and all of his staff, I first fell in love with the office and noticed how happy all of the patients and staff seemed. As weird as it sounds since it’s an ortho clinic, it seemed like the type of place you could just kick it at and study for a day. Like a cool hangout. The next thing I noticed was that I didn’t have to wait long at all to see Dr Kunik — something that has not changed in the last year that I have been seeing him or the other office staff, I always get seen pretty promptly and I am never left waiting forever. When I got to meet Dr Kunik face-​to-​face for the first time, he just made me feel totally relaxed. He is extremely down-​to-​Earth and just a nice person — he explained my treatment, Invisalign, everything clearly and I could tell he wasn’t trying to pull one over on me and he knew what he was talking about. Another thing I loved: I got to use in house financing for the orthodontic work I would be getting — the work I got was expensive, but you get what you pay for and the monthly payments are affordable and the overall cost is well worth it.
Throughout the past year, I have had nothing but great experiences at Dr Kunik’s office. No matter if I am running late or have to reschedule, the staff at Dr Kunik’s office are always super sweet and professional. When I had to get braces, they were gentle (although the process is uncomfortable) and have made each follow up visit as comfortable and easy on me as possible — I am a huge weenie when it comes to any work in my mouth.
Now that I have finally had my upper and lower jaw surgery, on the day I got home from the hospital, I got a Get Well Soon card from Dr Kunik’s office complete with Starbuck’s, Dailyjuice, and Amy’s Ice Creams gift cards in the mail! Just another reason these guys are the BEST.
All in all, it’s like every person at this office puts their heart into what they do and put the patients first, which is extraordinarily rare these days. I love love love this office and all of the staff and couldn’t be more thankful for them.

I became a patient of Dr. Kunik when we moved to Austin and I was already using Invisalign. I could not find any providers in the Austin area that would take me as a patient, except Dr. Kunik. He finished my treatment plan and I am happy with my teeth. I have 3 children and all of them will go to Dr. Kunik for their braces.
I like the staff and they are always running on time or early. Great communication via phone and email reminders for appointments. Definitely recommend.

My second child is now having orthodontia, and it never occurred to me to go anywhere but Dr. Kunik for this work. His office is the model of efficiency and his staff is uniformly pleasant and professional.
Although I didn’t price any other orthodontists, I feel like Dr. Kunik’s pricing and payment options are completely fair and reasonable.
Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kunik and his staff… they make getting your teeth looking good a lot of fun!

I made an appointment for a consultation here, since I was interested in Invisalign, and Dr Knunik is listed as Top 1% Invisalign Provider of North America.
I walked in with the knowledge that this place is in the Westlake area and from my own experience of being in the area for 4 – 5 years, I had my expectations: the people are very very nice, but the price is very very expensive, since it is the rich high class people area after all. And it is true, my appointment was nothing but warm welcome and pleasant conversation. Dr Kunik took a look at my teeth and told me everything I needed to know about my teeth and Invisalign. He is a knowledgeable orthodontist, knows what he’s doing, and has been in the field for a long time. Then came the most important part, the part where the financial coordinator would tell me the pricing of my treatment. I won’t go into much details here, all I’m saying is I went home and made several appointments at other orthodontist offices (one of them being another Top 1% Invisalign Provider) and their pricing is about $ 2500 less.
Bottom line: This facility is nice, the staff is nice, the doctor is good. If you live in Westlake, you don’t want to go anywhere out of the area (I know for some Westlake people, having to go to a doctor outside of the area isn’t very comfortable), and $ 2500 doesn’t make a difference to you, then Dr. Kunik is a very reliable orthodontist.
But for a recent college grad like me, saving $ 2500 means a whole lot.

THE place to go. Best staff there is available, the ambient is amazing, the people are fun

Dr. Kunik absolutely deserves beyond 5 stars. I went in for a consult about 5 weeks ago, thinking he was going to look at my teeth, recommend a treatment plan and discuss my payment options.
That was not the case at all. His treatment coordinator Mindy who was fantastic by the way, did an x-​ray. Dr. Kunik came in examined my teeth, and gave me his honest opinion. He listened to my concerns, and instead of jumping into braces he thought it would be in my best interest to visit his oral surgeon for a consult. To discuss fixing my jaw to eliminate my cross bite so I would in the end get the optimum results that I am looking for. And then we could discuss a treatment plan weather I decided to go through with having the surgery or not.
I listened to Dr. Kunik’s advise and visited with the oral surgeon he recommended. I unfortunately have a complicated puzzle in my mouth and need multiple issues addressed. Which I’m ready to start the long process on correcting.
I have visited with several orthodontist in town, told them my primary concern was about my cross-​bite, they all told me pretty much the same thing. That either I should have corrected my cross bite when I was younger, or it wasn’t necessary to go through the surgery since it’s not like I’m moving to LA and need a Hollywood smile.
So because of the level of respect I received and overall concern for my oral health I chose to go with Dr. Kunik. He listened to exactly what I wanted, and knew I also had a short term goal to get the ball rolling for my upcoming wedding in July. So we decided to do a pre wedding special… He went ahead and put ceramic braces on my top teeth to give me a more esthetic smile that I desired for my wedding. Then after my wedding we will continue on with the treatment process.
Now I have been in my ceramic braces for 3 weeks and just went in for my first adjustment. Donna put my brackets on and also did my first adjustment. I couldn’t imagine anyone better for the job. I think she is spectacular and hope to get her for every visit.
Thank you Dr. Kunik for being an impeccable orthodontist. It just goes to show when you do your research it truly pays off.

Dr Kunick has alot of charisma and integrity! I wanted invisalign to get my teeth straightened out, and I was recommend by my oral surgeon Dr. Kavoretta. Dr. Kunck is so friendly and pleasant to be around and so is his staff. I have had such a great experience with him, and I highly recommend his services. He is the best of the best and I will recommend him to all of my friends.
I really appreciate how he was willing to work with me, even though I had a hard time with my invisalign, my fault not his. He really knows what he is doing, very knowledgeable guy, and really wants to make you happy and get results. If you want the perfect teeth and don’t want to mess around go see Dr Kunick. You are going to get the results, and better than what you expected.
NO QUESTIONS, HANDS DOWN, GREAT ORTHODONTIST.

Don’t settle, Dr. Kunik is the best, hands down.
I had braces as a kid and, like many adults, the retainer that was supposed to keep my teeth in line is just a faded memory. As a result, my bottom teeth crowed each other and my bite narrowed. So, I decided to invest in straightening my teeth and I began asking friends who to see. While several told me to go see Dr. Kunik, I decided it would prudent to get several opinions first. Dr. Kunik is my 3^rd and final opinion.
There are several criteria that were the driving factors of my decision. The first being treatment options. On my first visit, I was advised that Invisalign would be a great option and Dr. Kunik has a remarkable reputation with Invisalign. However, being the fidgety person I am, I already convinced myself that somehow I would loose the trays or forget to put them in. Even though I’m sure they would have worked out ideally, I was steadfast that traditional braces would be better for me. Considering the cost was the same with either route, I was happy that I had both options. I have been very happy with my clear traditional braces. Except when they are adjusted, I feel like Tom when he is chasing Jerry around the back yard and he steps on the rake that hits him in the face and all of his teeth splinter and fall out. Other than that, no complaints.
In addition to his treatment options, I was and continue to be very impressed with Dr. Kunik’s staff and office. From the moment you walk in the door, there is great vibe in the office. The walls are adorned with artwork and photographs that patients contribute. Once checked in, I have never waited more than two minutes to go back, even the days I have been a little late. All of the ladies at the front desk are awesome. I was particularly impressed with Mindy the Treatment Coordinator. Going back to my first visit, she was able to show me before-​and-​after photos of cases similar to mine. No other orthodontist I visited did this for me, but it really sealed the deal.
Finally, Dr. Kunik’s bedside manner is bar-​none. Not only does he have a genuinely charismatic personality, he really is excited about getting your teeth straight. You can just tell that this is his passion and he loves what he does. In addition, his experience speaks for itself. Not only does he have the best technology, but his craftsmanship is priceless. Even though his price was about 10% higher, I know that with Dr. Kunik, I am receiving world-​class treatment from the best orthodontist in town.
Go for it, you deserve the best!

It’s hard to write a review about an Orthodontist without briefly examining the concept of Orthodontics in the first place. Here you are, some hapless guy/​girl with teeth ranging from not-​perfect to summer teeth (some are here, some are there…). Then you’ve decided to not only part with several thousands dollars to fix this particular malady, but you are willing to undergo possible painful treatment in exchange for said hard earned money. Really it seems a little masochistic at best, reminiscent of the «holy-​mouth-​men» described in MIner’s famous article about the «Body Ritual Among the Nacirema»
So now you are asking yourself:
1. Is this even worth it in the first place?
2. This invisalign gig seems pretty good, should I just go to a regular dentist that offers it on the cheap or spend the extra money to see an Orthodontist?
3. Who is the Kunik guy and why should I see him?
Let me address these in turn
1. Yes, getting your teeth straight is definitely worth it. In fact it’s so easy and relatively quick you are going to feel like an idiot for not getting it done earlier. The good news is that now invisalign is cheaper and easier than ever so there was some benefit to waiting. Your smile is one of the first things people are going to notice about you, and crooked teeth stand out (even more so after you have had invisalign and start noticing people’s teeth). You are also likely going to find yourself taking much better care of your now perfect teeth. I have flossed daily since getting invisalign, something I struggled with before.
2. The process is pretty easy, but it’s not going to be as simple as getting some new trays every couple of weeks. There will most likely be some sculpting, thinning, or other nice sounding but not-​so-​fun-​to-​undergo treatments. In fact, the only downside to my experience with invisalign was the «thinning» which involves essentially flossing your teeth with a metal file. The sound of a metal strip filing your teeth is about as fun you think it would be. It isn’t necessarily painful, but people say that about water boarding…
It’s also possible invisalign may not be for you, or that after your invsialign treatment, you may still need a more traditional treatment such as a permanent retainer or even full braces. I work as an Emergency Medicine Physician and I can attest to the importance of specialized training. Orthodontists I believe go through a 2 year residency training just in Orthodontics after Dental School (which is 4 years). So they have 50% more dental training that a general dentist and additionally those two years are all about getting your teeth straight. Moreover, all they do all day long is orthodontics. They are not dealing with cleanings, flings, etc. So although your general dentist may want to try to make some money on the side by getting into the invisalign gig, they are really not trained properly to do it nor have the experience necessary to know what the best treatment is.
3. I was referred to Randy Kunik by my Dentist, Tana Busch (an excellent Dentist if anyone is looking for one). Dr. Kunik is a consummate professional and his staff are equally pleasant to deal with. You can tell he really cares about your teeth and making sure you are happy with the final results. There is one charge up front and he promises to do whatever needs to get done to get your teeth straight, so you don’t have to worry about extra charges afterwards. They get you in for your appointment quickly instead of most doctors’ offices where you have to wait forever (really, what are they doing back there?). Dr Kunik has also recently opened a downtown office on Mondays which is much more convenient if you live centrally.
So to summarize — yes go get your teeth straightened, yes spend the extra money and see an Orthodontist instead of a regular dentist, and I highly recommend Randy Kunik as that Orthodontist.

I went to Dr. Kunik as a kid for my braces… he was quite the perfectionist and it showed. I can’t tell you how many compliments on my smile I have received throughout the years =D
At some point I lost my retainers and after years of not wearing them I noticed that my teeth were starting to shift. So to prevent them from shifting further I decided it was time to get fitted for some new retainers… and thought… why not go to Dr. Kunik again… he, after all, knows my teeth better than anyone.
I was very excited to see him again! When I walked through his office door I kind of felt like a kid again… and then when I saw Dr. Kunik… I really did! Years later he looks exactly the same and is just as kind as ever!
He took a look at my teeth, and because of the shifting, kindly suggested that I get Invisalign braces (clear treys) to correct the movement that had taken place due to my not wearing my retainers at night… he offered them at such a great price that I couldn’t refuse.
I was worried people would notice the invisalign braces, but after wearing them for 10 months no one has… and when I mention that i have them people seem surprised and then of course… some want to know how I like them, because they have been thinking of getting them too.
I didn’t realize how much my teeth had shifted, but now that I am on my last set of treys I can see what a huge difference they have made… I have perfect teeth again!
So having been on both sides of it… braces as a kid… and invisalign braces as an adult… I can easily recommend Dr. Kunik for both.
He is a terrific orthodontist who is always smiling and happy to see his patients, and has a great staff. Dr. Kunik, Thanks for giving me a perfect smile… twice! You’re the best =D
