Our safe and effective teeth whitening treatments gently remove stains and discoloration to enhance your smile's radiance. Designed for both quick results and long-term maintenance, these services cater to patients seeking confidence-boosting transformations. Treatments are tailored to individual needs while ensuring comfort and minimal sensitivity.

This modern orthodontic solution offers comfort and flexibility for patients seeking subtle smile improvements. Treatment plans are customized using advanced digital technology to achieve optimal tooth movement.

I've been going here for over a decade after neglecting my teeth for much of my youth. It took some time to get everything sorted but I am quite pleased with the results. Dr. Vo is wonderful, friendly, and very practical. When I needed consultation to get an implant she made the decision stress free. When I needed to get my wisdom teeth removed or a a root canal her referrals were spot on. I also look forward to my bi-annual teeth cleanings with Claudia the hygienist. She does a very through job and I'm smiling after. They also have excellent COVID protocols, if you are concerned about going to the dentist during these times.

Once again, Dr. Vo and her great team came to my rescue. Last night I chipped a top front tooth so badly that I hoped it could be repaired. Dr. Vo got me in at 11AM and in 30 minutes my tooth was fully restored with a resin that looks and feels like the original enamel. She even smoothed every surface so that the tooth feels better on the tongue than it did before it was chipped. Thanks to their taking my insurance, everything was completely covered without a co-pay, but the most important thing is that Dr. Vo took great care of me, with her usual kind and pleasant manner, and great support staff. I feel very fortunate to be here!

So you spring changes on people who have been coming to your location for years. Then they check local pricing because they have no idea if it's a fair price, and you tell them to leave. wow

Jackie Vo and her team are, hands down, the BEST dentist team in Austin. This recommendation comes from me, my mom, my grandparents, my aunts, my dad - everyone in our family goes to Jackie because her team are just, simply, the BEST you can get. Lightning fast, unbelievable customer service, super comforting, incredibly friendly - I literally cannot say enough positive things about this place. I am at the point where, if I lived in another state, I would fly in to Austin just so that I could go to Northwest Hills Smiles. That's how good they are. Do your mouth a favor and trust the team here. They're the BEST you can get.

Great team here. My family goes so we've seen several of their hygienists and Dr. Atassi. My family and I just went for a cleaning today and their enhanced procedures made me feel comfortable. We all scheduled to go at the same time and they accommodated us. My daughter has been going for 5 years, they always make her feel safe and happy to go to the dentist.

I've been a patient at NW Hills Smiles for over a decade. Dr. Atassi is my dentist and she's awesome along with the staff. Especially Claudia. She gets my teeth sparkling clean. I feel cared for each time I visit and Dr. Atassi is a very knowledgeable and experienced dentist. In a city where dentists are plentiful, I'm grateful to have found (in my opinion) the best one. Highly recommend.
