Meet Dr. Joel Khoo
Dr. Joel Khoo received his Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree from the National University of Singapore. He then went on to earn his Master of Science in Prosthodontics from the University of Iowa.
Dr. Khoo chose the field of dentistry because it is a branch of medicine that combines surgery, artistry and patient care that he finds both challenging and fulfilling. His additional prosthodontics specialty training equipped him with the knowledge and skills to confidently restore beautiful smiles to patients who have debilitating dental health.
“I love the challenge of allaying my patients’ dental fears and find it most rewarding when I see their fears replaced with a calm confidence. I get great joy and a sense of honor when patients trust me with their oral health needs and it motivates me to give my best. As a prosthodontist, giving patients back their smiles that they never dreamed possible makes all the work and effort worthwhile. I hope to bring a sense of excitement and enthusiasm about dentistry and oral health to our patients and to our community when they get to know us and experience our service.”
Dr. Khoo lives in Corpus Christi with his wife and two children. He loves to spend time with his family doing things together. He also enjoys gardening, cycling, and being outdoors.
Meet Dr. Tina Huynh
I'm Dr. Tina Huynh, and I'm excited to be joining Tide Dental & Orthodontics as a General Dentist. I'm passionate about providing patient-centered care and helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile. I know visiting the dentist can sometimes be nerve-wracking, so l strive to create a comfortable, welcoming environment where you feel heard and cared for.
I grew up right here in Corpus Christi, TX-I went to elementary, middle, and high school here! I then went on to Texas A&M University in College Station for my undergraduate studies (Gig 'em Aggies!) and earned my master's at the University of Texas at San Antonio. I completed my Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree at Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine in Utah.
During my time there, I completed an externship with Community Health Centers of Utah, where I provided dental care to underserved communities.
Outside of the office, I enjoy exploring new restaurants and trying out recipes with my fiancé, doing my best to keep my plants alive, and spending time with our dogs, Finn & Church.
I'm committed to staying current with the latest dental techniques and technology and believe in building lasting relationships through trust, compassion, and personalized care.
I look forward to being part of your smile journey at Tide Dental & Orthodontics starting in June 2025. If you see me around the office, feel free to say hello!
What Does the Full-Arch Implants Procedure Entail?
The terms "All-on-4" and "Teeth in a Day" describe a procedure where patients receive replacement teeth in a single day. Variations include "Teeth in an Hour," "Dental Implants in One Day," "Teeth In One Day," and "Teeth In One Visit." Despite different names, they all refer to a one-day implant treatment for restoring an entire arch of teeth.
The Teeth-in-a-Day treatment uses 4-6 dental implants to attach a new set of permanent replacement teeth minimally invasively. These implants are designed for immediate function and often eliminate the need for bone grafting. Ideal for denture wearers or those needing full upper and/or lower restorations, this procedure offers a beautiful smile in just one day.
Our doctor's approach involves only four specially placed implants, avoiding the need for bone grafts and sinus lifts. This results in fixed teeth that are not removable, reducing costs and healing times. Patients regain their smile and function faster and more reliably than with traditional methods.
How Does the Full-Arch Implant Procedure Work?
During the full-arch implant procedure, 4-6 appliances are surgically placed into the jawbone and gums. After allowing sufficient time for healing, the implant bridge is securely attached. This bridge closely resembles the appearance of natural teeth. Periodic evaluations are necessary to ensure the health of both the prosthetic and implants.
The outpatient surgical procedure for full-arch dental implants is conducted in our office. Sedation, along with local anesthesia, is typically recommended for patient comfort.
Upon completion of the procedure, patients are fitted with a fixed complete denture before leaving the office. Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, a second, stronger denture may be provided during a follow-up visit.
What are the Advantages of the Full-Arch Procedure?
Besides the quick treatment duration, full-arch dental implants offer numerous benefits compared to traditional dentures:
- Immediate replacement teeth in as little as one day
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Reduced pain and swelling
- Elimination of ill-fitting dentures
- No need for denture adhesives
- Enhanced security similar to natural teeth
- Reduced number of dental appointments
- Cost-effective compared to conventional implants
- Life-changing results
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Full-Arch Implants?
Dental implants are recognized as the premier solution for loose dentures. By providing permanent stability, they enhance your ability to smile, eat, and speak with confidence. If you're considering investing in implants, we're here to help. Serving as a durable foundation for replacement teeth, implants are decay-resistant and intended to last a lifetime.
