About Coast Dental
Braces cases show up often here, with same-day starts and quick bracket or wire repairs, though a few reviews mention orthodontist turnover interrupting treatment.
Coast Dental is a general dental practice in Killeen that also offers orthodontic treatment, including traditional braces and clear aligners, and braces come up in reviews unusually often. Reviews describe same-day appointments for new braces and quick fixes for broken brackets or wires, along with hygienists and assistants who take a calm, gentle approach with anxious or first-time patients. Dr. Safari is mentioned for reviewing treatment plans and staying steady with nervous cases. Some reviews note the practice has cycled through several orthodontists in recent years, which has occasionally stalled care partway through treatment.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been a patient here for years, and the difference with the new management and staff has been incredible. The office has truly stepped up in every way. The office manager has done an amazing job creating a welcoming, organized environment, and the entire team is friendly, professional, and takes the time to explain treatment so you feel comfortable and informed. If you’ve based your opinion on older reviews, I encourage you to give this office another chance. Many of those reviews reflect experiences from years ago and don’t represent the team that’s here today. The office has changed for the better, and it definitely shows. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality dental care!

By far the best dental office I have been to. They are so helpful and friendly. If you don't have dental insurance they will help you with that and even come up with a plan for you...they don't force you to do anything you don't want to do either. Dr. Safari is so kind and has a gentle hand. If you looking for a good dentist....this is the place. I know I will be back
