"The name of this dental practice is no accident. They are FIVE STARS!!! My story is a long one, but the short version is that following a very recent move from East Texas to San Antonio, I broke a chunk off of my all-on-four on a Sunday afternoon, creating an extremely sharp edge. (This isn't the first time this happened with this appliance, and my former dentist was just as frustrated as I at the situation.) After an anxious conversation with my previous dentist, my husband and I decided that perhaps the "big city" might provide us with more options for care. We found 5 Star Dental Group online and requested an appointment via the link on the page. I briefly described the situation, and hoped for a return call at some point. I got that call about 8:15 Monday morning, (Excellent response time!) and was scheduled for an appointment at 11:30 the same day. (Excellent attention to a very painful emergency problem.) We arrived to find a spotlessly clean, modern, friendly, and very professional office. The front office staff are sweet, and cheerful, yet professional and VERY competent. We were also able to complete all the required forms at home, and bring them with us, saving time at the office. I was in the dental chair almost immediately, and Dr. Tostado and his dental assistant had my broken all-on-four sanded down to a comfortable level within minutes. He determined that the previous lab used an acrylic for my permanent all-on-four, adding that this material is typically use for a temporary. (No wonder it kept breaking every six months!) We discussed what could be done going forward. After x-rays, he developed a treatment plan which will require a complete replacement of my all-on-four. (Interestingly, the x-rays revealed that the positioning and angle on one of my implants, coupled with the length of the all-on-four on that side, and the materials used to manufacture it create a perfect failure storm.) Dr. Tostado identified the problems, and offered at least two options for a solution.Heretofore, my life has been a constant merry-go-round of breakage and replacement every six months. I feel blessed to be in Dr. Tostado's care and look forward to a long association with the practice for my continued regular dental care. My husband was so impressed, that he set up an appointment for his routine cleaning and care as well. This is a rare practice that excels at making you feel like one of the family. You can look around but you won’t find a better practice for all your dental needs. Too bad I can only give them 5 Stars!"
"I’m the worst when it comes to the dentist!!! This was the best experience ever!! Karen was fantastic cleaning my teeth “old school” because my teeth are so sensitive! Dr. Acuna and Dr. Tostasdo were both very informative and super nurturing. Highly recommend!!"
"Kris and I have been 5 Star patients for many years with Vicki and Karen, both most kind and most professional dental hygienists! Dr. Tostado has also done great work on both of us, very happy. The office itself, run by Mary Jo, is a smooth operation from appointment to payment. Everyone just treats you like you’re their #1 patient! Thank you!"
"Great service. Made an unscheduled visit for an issue and was seen the same afternoon. Many thanks"
"Always an awesome experience! The Five Star Dental Team makes their patients feel comfortable from start to finish. They truly are the very best!!"
"Excellent experience. Very friendly staff. Always on time. Always professional. I have been going to 5 Star Dental Group for a very long time. My husband and I have never had a bad experience. We know we are getting the best care from 5 Star Dental Group."
"Very professional, knowledgeable, up to the minute (2024 medicine), and ethical! What is not to love? Amazing attention to your health care and caring attention to detail too!"
"This has got to be the best Dentist Office I have ever been to. The staff is awesome and Dr Tostado is a Tooth Artist in my opinion. He did years of extra schooling beyond a traditional dentistry education to be able to qualify for cosmetic dentistry. He also has his own lab where he creates the art he puts in your mouth. I call it his "Tooth Studio". They have a wealth of knowledge, experience, and compassion. The only reason I don't tell many people is because I'm selfish. I don't want them to get too crowded. I live on the opposite side of town from this office and it's well worth the travel. If you are looking for a good dental experience, this is the place. P.S. Please don't tell too many people. You'll screw up my appointment scheduling."
"Super folks! Will now be seeing them for my dental needs!!"

"I have been going to 5 Star Dental Group for 10 years. During this time I moved quite a distance away, but I make the drive because they are superior to any other dental group that I have visited."
"I had the best experience, from the office personnel to Dr. Tostado and the Hygienist, Karen! Karen was fantastic, she did the best cleaning on my teeth, than I could ask for. She made me feel so comfortable! Dr Tostado was kind and gentle with explaining everything about what was going on with my teeth. I’ll have to say I was a bit nervous, since it was my first visit, but all the staff made me feel welcomed. I was so impressed with the professionalism and caring attitude. I would recommend them to anyone! Mary Ann"
"Dr. Tostado's kindness and patience impressed me greatly. He was thoughtful and thorough in his examination and recommendations. His staff are attentive and very professional. It was such a comfort to be put at ease under the stressful circumstances that brought me to them. I would highly recommend Dr. Tostado"
"Dr Gilbert and his staff provide the very best dental care I have EVER experienced. I have had dental care consistently since I was a child, and seventy years later I am constantly amazed at their state of the art technology and their vested interest in providing such a high level of dental care. I am happy to drive 3 hours round trip each time to partner with them to maintain my healthy teeth and gums. Thank you, Dr Gilbert!"
"Vicki is the best dental hygienist ever! We love Dr. Tostada and his staff, including Mary Jo and Karen!"

"A cap fell off my molar about 20 minutes before 5 Star closing time. I raced to their office, and Dr's Acuna and Tostado stayed late to replace the cap for me. The doctors and the entire staff are professional and personable. I wouldn't go anywhere else!"
