Dr. Vu Quach

DDS

I grew up in a small town in Michigan, where going to the dentist wasn’t always easy or accessible. I saw my own family struggle with their oral health despite trying to do everything right. That experience shaped the way I see dentistry—not just as treatment, but as a way to help people feel supported, empowered, and informed.

How I Practice

I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2016 and have been practicing for about nine years now. I’ve trained in dental implants and stay current with new tools and techniques, but what matters most is how we treat people.

Good care starts with listening. I take time to explain what I see and what your options are, so you can make decisions that feel right to you. If we need to do something, I’ll walk you through it clearly so you always feel comfortable and confident.

FUN FACTS

Every year, Spotify Wrapped tells me that my top music categories are pop, R&B, and hip-hop. I can't argue with that!

In a past life, I spent a decade as a member of hip-hop choreography teams. Nowadays, I try to keep up by taking dance classes as a form of cardio exercise.

If I had to choose a favorite unhealthy snack or food item, it would have to be instant noodles or instant ramen. These quick meals have a nostalgic value and hold a fond place in my heart and stomach.

At Essential Dental, our intention is to be truly in your corner, caring and advocating for your oral health. We strive to focus on patient education and transparency to help guide you toward your dental goals.

What Makes Our Office Different

We’ve built a space that puts communication and comfort first. The practice is fully digital, including iTero 3D scanning, and we use tech that helps us work more efficiently and comfortably. We also keep most procedures in-house, which helps streamline care and avoid unnecessary referrals.

What I Enjoy Most

It’s not about one specific procedure. It’s the moments when someone walks in feeling uncertain, and over time, starts to feel comfortable and confident in their care. Being part of that shift is what I enjoy most.

Staying Involved

I’m a member of the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, and Capital Area Dental Society. I also participate in local health fairs and volunteer events through groups like the Austin Asian Community Health Initiative. I think it’s important to be involved beyond the office.

Life Outside of Work

Most of my time outside of dentistry is spent with my wife and our baby daughter. Watching her grow and change has been the best kind of learning. I also enjoy anime, dance, and video games—and yes, I’m already trying to share those interests with her, slowly.
