Located in Austin at 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd., the team provides care that blends technology with a patient-first approach. Every visit feels like a step toward something bigger: the best, brightest smile.

“We do not bring a patient into the dental chair until we've established a relationship,” Dr. Kevin Deutsch said. “A clinical setting can be overwhelming. A lot of people have had bad experiences in the past. It starts with building a relationship, establishing trust with someone and then going from there.”


Technology that’s redefining dentistry

The practice isn’t just keeping up with modern advancements; it’s leading the charge.

“Technology is developing at such a rapid pace. It's going to change the way we do dentistry, certainly in the next decade,” Dr. Deutsch said. “For us, staying on top of those technological advancements and trying to understand them can help us treat our patients better. It's not just about buying new, fancy gadgets. It’s about understanding what's going to allow us to provide better care for people.”

For both Dr. Deutsch and Dr. Erica Elward, studying these advancements is a passion.

“Part of this career is being a lifelong learner,” Dr. Elward said. “I truly feel that if we’re not keeping up with education and we’re not learning the newest techniques, we’re doing a disservice to the patient, so it's always been a strong commitment for Dr. Deutch and I. That's what drew us to each other. It’s the thought that we’re never the master of what we’re doing. We’re always learning more, and we always need to be up to date.”

Patients need an advocate who understands what the end goal is. We try to make all of the [treatment] steps as seamless as possible so the patient understands what's going on.”
