Dr. Vincent Ip was inspired to become a dentist by the compassionate dental care he received after he chipped his front teeth at the age of 11. His interest in cosmetic dentistry was a natural outgrowth of that experience.
Upon graduating from the New York University College of Dentistry in 2006, Dr. Ip moved to Las Vegas, NV, where he practiced at a state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry practice.The practice was named the top Invisalign provider in the state each year that Dr. Ip was there.
Dr. Ip and his wife, Lindsey, reside in Central Austin with their three children. They are avid sports fans and regularly follow the Longhorns, Cowboys, and Mavericks. They love to travel and scuba dive. Their most exciting trip was an African safari, where they witnessed the Great Migration.
Dr. Ip and Lindseyhave aspirations of one day visiting all seven continents and diving with great whites. In their free time, you might find them eating BBQ at Dr. Ip's favorite, Franklin Barbeque, walking Lady Bird Lake, or checking out the live music scene.
Let me first say, I am a dental hygienist so Im naturally very picky. So even though I could get free dental care at the clinic I work for, I choose to go to Dr. Ip because his dental work is PERFECT.
Though Dr. Ip was happy to practice cosmetic dentistryin Las Vegas, NV, he eventually decided hewanted to get back to his Texas roots. He settled in his old college town, the ever-growing and changing Austin, to startSmile 360, where he proudly provides high-quality dental care to the community.

The Smile 360 experience is unlike any other dental experience I have ever had. The Smile 360 team have always been so warm and caring towards me and my family and Dr. Ip is a extremely talented dentist. I used to have no confidence and was extremely ashamed of my smile. Dr Ip was able to fix my teeth and give me so much confidence with less than a year of treatment!!

The best dentist office around! I hadn't been to the dentist in many years because of how intimidating they can be. This place is the opposite! Everyone is so welcoming and makes you feel at home. I had major gum work and also got veneers. Love my new smile!
Its immediately apparent how much Dr. Ip loves his job. Hes incredibly competent, thorough and professional. And to add the cherry on top, his staff is friendly and highly efficient. I most definitely recommend Smile 360 :)
Do you want straighter teeth without the hassle of metal braces? Invisalign uses clear, plastic aligners to gently shift your teeth into place without anyone knowing. These custom-made aligners are easily removable and can be popped on and off in seconds, making eating and oral hygiene a breeze. For patients who want to accelerate their treatment process, Dr. Ip offers Propel Orthodontics. This innovative treatment stimulates the bone surrounding your teeth, expediting the straightening process.
Dental veneers are a versatile treatment that can address various issues such as chips, gaps, discoloration, and more. Made of ultra-thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front teeth, veneers can give you the luminous smile you've been dreaming of. Our dentist utilizes advanced CEREC technology to take accurate impressions of your teeth, ensuring that your veneers will be a flawless fit. Because our veneers are made of stunning porcelain, your teeth will have a natural shine and translucency that truly transforms your appearance.
If you are concerned about discoloration and staining, teeth whitening can help you achieve a radiant smile and boost your self-esteem.

When these interruptions occur, you may struggle to breathe or stop breathing for up to a full minute. During these periods, you will shift into a lighter stage of sleep to regain your breath, significantly disrupting a full night's rest.
Snoring, daytime fatigue, and the associated health risks of sleep apnea can negatively impact your quality of life. The negative effects of sleep apnea can even affect your life expectancy. If you believe you may have obstructive sleep apnea, it is essential to bring it toour attention so that you can receive the treatment you need.
Dr. Ip can review your symptoms and determine if oral appliance therapy is right for you.

To properly identify the characteristics of your sleep disorder, a sleep study should be conducted before any treatment is prescribed. Typically, a sleep study is conducted in either a lab or through a home test. We'll discuss which may best suit your situation during your visit to our Austin, TX, practice.
During the sleep study, you will be monitored using wires and sensorsplaced on the body for about seven hours of sleep. As you rest, crucial data will be compiled with information on your oxygen levels and other vitals.
This detailed analysis of your snoring and sleep patterns will provide insight into whether you suffer from sleep apnea, what type of sleep apnea you have, and the severity of your condition. Based on your needs, Dr. Ip can recommend the best treatment method for you.
Had the best experience with Dr.IP today. My son had to have an unexpected extraction and the whole thing went flawless. Instead of leaving with tears, my son was all smiles. Tonight before bed, my 7 year old, says 'mom, Dr. Ip really is the best.' 10 out of 10 in my book!
I've been a patient at Smile 360 for the three years I've lived in Austin. The team is fantastic, efficient and friendly; the office is conveniently located as well as nice and comfortable; and they keep my teeth looking good! My husband is also a satisfied patient. Would recommend!
A CPAP machine refers to a popular treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea. The device consists of a base unit and a mask worn over the nose and/or mouth. The CPAP machine pushes air through the mask and promotes continuous positive airway pressure while a patient sleeps.
Oral appliance therapy is a conservative approach to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. While it's effective for many patients, it may achieve only limited relief for people with severe blockage of their airways.
If this is the case, the team at our Austin, TX, dental practice wants to know. You may need to see an ear, nose, and throat doctor (ENT), a sleep physician, or seek dual treatment with both kinds of medical professionals.
A professional evaluation by our team and other Texas sleep medicine specialists can help get a better picture of your sleep apnea. From this multidisciplinary assessment, we can develop a custom treatment plan that helps relieve snoring and improves your ability to breathe throughout the night.
