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!
Can You Explain What Dental Implants Are?
Dental implants are like artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone to support artificial teeth, known as crowns. An abutment is placed on top of the implant to support the crowns. Made from medical-grade titanium, dental implants are durable and provide a natural-looking root form. With their many benefits and aesthetic qualities, dental implants have become the preferred method of tooth replacement.
Please Explain the Advantages of Dental Implants.
Dental implants offer a contemporary solution for replacing missing teeth, surpassing dentures and bridges. They maintain natural bone structure and stimulate bone growth. With a natural look, feel, and function, dental implants closely mimic real teeth. Their durability and resistance to decay ensure a lifetime of use. Unlike dentures, they provide a secure fit without slipping or discomfort. Dental implants improve eating and speaking abilities, as well as contribute to better overall oral health.
What Type of Person Is an Ideal Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are beneficial for those who struggle with traditional dentures or have lost teeth, making it easier to chew and enjoy meals while also slowing down tissue and bone loss in the jaw. They can even enhance facial structure for a more youthful appearance and improve speech clarity. However, sufficient bone in the jaw is necessary for the implant procedure to be successful, and bone grafting may be required if there is not enough bone. It is also important for natural teeth and surrounding tissues to be healthy near the implant site.
