Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Just awful
Choosing Rapanotti was the worst decision I’ve made in years, hands down the worst experience ever! It’s been 3 years and I’m still suffering from the damage he did. If I added a chain to $1,000.00 useless partial he made me, I could call it the most expensive necklace (or any piece of jewelry) I’ve ever owned. I’m still paying the price, just thought you ought to know that he really needs to retire, way past his prime.

Highly recommended
It's been almost 3 years since my first dental visit with Dr Rapanotti and prior to this, I had nothing but unpleasant dentist visits. Most dentists that I had seen before were judgemental and made me feel poorly about my oral health. It didn't occur to them that my issues stemmed from multiple pregnancies and not neglect. But Dr Rapanotti and his team made me feel so much better about myself and were eager to improve my self esteem and my oral health!

Unusable dentures
9 minutes ago My wife spent almost $8,000 on teeth removal and the best set of dentures they had, at the doctors direction. After almost a year since her teeth were pulled, and the dentures had their final relining, my wife got her teeth done. Only problem is they are unusable to her. Even after the reline they will not stay in place. Even with creams or powder. They are actually unusable for her. I have had dentures for 35 years and never had any of the problems she has. Today they told her that was all they could do for her. In other words they told her to go pound salt. I would not even give them a 1 star.

Dr. Mario's work is absolutely top of the line. I have had crowns, partials and extractions done in the 6 years he has been my Denist. His prices are reasonable and he can work a payment if needed. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and have always worked me in the same day for emergency visits. His wife, also a Denist, sees patients as well and is very gentle and knowledgeable. The whole staff works so well together. I travel 6 hours round trip for my Dental visits. He is the only Denist I trust.

I’ve been wearing dentures for 18 years. When I decided I’d had enough of all those cavities and crown and root canals and pain that drove me up a wall, I had the remaining ones pulled. After searching, I was lucky enough to find Dr. Mario Rapanotti, who made me dentures that not only looked better than my original teeth but let me eat whatever I wanted to in comfort for the first time in years. And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. Not only did he make me a great set, but in less time and at less cost. They made my life better. After two decades, I broke a tooth off my upper. I called Dr. Rapanotti, who told me to come in the very next day, that he could fix it. It was well worth the 44-mile drive from Austin. Two days later, true to his word, I got the repaired upper. It looked even better than original. He'd even resurfaced the inside of the upper, and at an amazing price! So, would I recommend him? Absolutely. First-class work, done in two days, at the best prices anywhere.

Dr. Raponotti is the first dentist that didnt make me cry from pain or embarassment. He extracted 2 teeth so fast I literally didnt believe he did them both. Very personable and friendly staff, quick in and out, great availablity and prices. I still have a lot of work to be done and I am so eager to get my dentures done by him.

He was very good. He pulled a tooth that other dentists said would require surgical removal. He made me a complete set of dentures that are wonderful. I do recommend him. He is old school, but is very caring and down to earth.

I’ve been coming to Dr Mario for years and just adore how companionate he is with me and never makes me feel bad about myself because I don’t have great teeth. I use to have anxiety about going to the dentist and now it’s no big deal just like visiting an old friend! Highly recommend.

He is extremely upfront and direct which is appreciated in this day and time. He correctly diagnosed the problem my husband was having with ill fitted dentures made by another dentist. He was assuring and absolutely did what he said he could do! No hidden fees no excuses. We just love him. Ps he has great bedside manner
