I have been a loyal Snow Dental customer for 10+ years and can't speak highly enough of their patient care. The staff is informative kind and personable. They always put me at ease.
From Tarrytown, you’ll take Exposition Blvd past Tarrytown Pharmacy and Casis Elementary School. Then, you’ll turn right onto right onto W 35th St, which will take you the rest of the way. Our office is located at 1005 W 38th Street #100 in Austin, and you’ll know you’re close when you see the Kolache Factory and Snooze, an A.M. Eatery.
Your first step in obtaining emergency dental care should always be to call Dr. Munis as soon as possible and let someone on our team assist you.
If you’re experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 immediately.
Most hospital emergency rooms, mobile clinics, and urgent care centers aren’t equipped to handle dental emergencies, and thus if you go to one of these locations first you are unlikely to be treated.
At Snow Dental, we are proud to offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies, but please call us as soon as possible for help.
Please note that dental emergencies are often an indication of larger dental problems, and an important sign to get back into the habit of attending your routine dental exam and cleaning appointments. Regular dental care can help you avoid future dental emergencies, saving you time, money, and your natural teeth!
The cost of a dental check-up and cleaning can vary depending on many factors, including geography and the oral health of the individual patient.
Each dental check-up and cleaning should begin with a patient health history and discussion of any questions or concerns you may have. It should also include a thorough examination completed by Dr. Munis, a professional cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening.
The average cost of this type of appointment in markets around the United States is between $200 and $350. If you have dental insurance, the fees for your check-up and cleaning are negotiated with us by your insurance company.
There are over 146,000 dentists in the greater Austin area. Understandably, this can make choosing a new dentist a big decision. At Snow Dental, we are proudly led by Dr. Zahara Munis. Educated at the University of Houston for her undergraduate degree and The University of Kentucky College of Dentistry for her dental doctorate, Dr. Munis is a major proponent of continuing education, and has extensively studied diverse oral health topics from dental implants to nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation. She also plans to join the Texas Dental Association soon and is working towards earning a fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry! To learn more about how much her patients love her and the care provided by the Team at Snow Dental, please visit our excellent reviews on Google!
Here in the United States, all dentists must have earned either a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) from one of the nation’s 67 accredited dental schools.
Acceptance into dental school requires the student to have earned a bachelor's degree (and very good grades) in a degree that is heavy in both math and sciences. Dental school is a three-year program that combines both classroom and hands-on learning.
Following dental school, some dentists choose to continue their education by earning one of twelve specializations recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA), which require an additional three or more years of dental school training.
Following dental school, all US dentists are required to complete a certain number of continuing education hours as specified by their state to maintain their dental license.
