I graduated from Howard University School of Dentistry in 2004 and we built Tucker Family Dentistry in 2007. I have been a member of several professional organizations, including Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, and Capital Area Dental Society. I also volunteer at several local and national organizations like Samaritan Health Ministries, Austin Disaster Relief Network and the Boy Scouts of America. I enjoy these opportunities to give back to the people that have so richly blessed my family.
We understand that choosing a dentist is an important and difficult decision for many people and we thank you for your interest in Tucker Family Dentistry. Our aim is that each patient feels that his health and wishes are important to my staff and me. Every decision is based on the premise that the quality of your life is the most important factor. To that end we have chosen technology that reduces your paperwork and the time a dental visit requires as well as being safer for both the patient and the environment. In building our office we were mindful of the most common complaints I have heard in my past practice. We have a relaxed, friendly setting, quieter equipment, television screens for education and entertainment at every chair, and we offer two levels of conscious sedation. My staff will treat every person with respect and I will provide the highest quality of work with the minimum of discomfort.

My love for dentistry developed as a child, thanks to an amazing dentist I had growing up in Argentina. I moved to the US from Argentina when I was 15 years old. After assisting for two years, I decided to go back to school and become a dental hygienist. I graduated from Austin Community College and have loved every minute of my job. My goal is to help my patients with their dental needs and improve their overall health. I want them to know I care and will do my best to make them feel comfortable.
Ellie has been a dedicated employee since 2008. She has a knack for numbers and organization which is why she works behind the scenes as our accounts specialist. Ellie is trilingual, speaking English, Spanish, and the Ecuadorian indigenous language of Quichua. She dedicates her free time doing volunteer work for the Quichua speaking community. Since she is a world traveler, and currently resides in NY, we are blessed to have Ellie in the office only for a few weeks each year.
Lacy has been with Tucker Family Dentistry since it opened its doors in 2007. She is a dental assistant and enjoys working with all kinds of patients. She is very good with the kids! She can enter a room with a child who is uncomfortable and, by the time she leaves the room, the child wants to come back to the dentist. When Lacy is not at work she is hanging out with her family, teaching kids at church, and meeting new folks in Austin.You will usually see Lacy smiling around the officesmile back.
Since 2017, Shannon has been one of the first smiling faces youll see when you arrive. She graduated from Everest College, top of her class as valedictorian! She is very passionate about dentistry and enjoys assisting chair side and at the front desk. When Shannon isnt working, she enjoys coaching her kids in all of their various team sports. They play them all!

My dad and I have been coming here for years. The whole staff is welcoming and friendly. I especially love seeing my dental hygienist Christina! They make it easy and painless. Pretty quick appointment times too.

Our whole family have been to Dr. Tucker and we are very pleased. He is patient and takes the time needed to explain what is recommended, and does not pressure you. He and his dental staff are friendly, and do a good job. Good environment. So patient and gentle with those who are afraid.

Very disappointed with them. I had gum issues resurface after thirty years. Hey - covid and dealing with my husbands death contributed. They refused to clean my teeth, but instead I needed to wait over two months to scale my teeth. A cleaning now would have been so helpful. They refused. I will not return. A waste of money today.

Dr. Tucker just pulled out two lower teeth from my 7 year old. He was scared, since he had a molar pulled last month and knew a shot was involved. It was way better than he thought and nothing hurt. BTW, the teeth needed pulling to make room for adult teeth.

Dr. Tucker and his team are wonderful! I just became a patient and everyone on the team is so great! Special thanks to Kristina and Laci but most of all the young lady that is at the front desk. A fantastic receptionist will make or break a business! Dr. Tucker really found a gem!

Was super excited to take my son to this dentist! Staff initially seemed nice, wanted to help, until they found out what insurance we had. Immediately got cold and rude and denied service, and then hung up on. BEWARE!

My husband has been going to this dentist for years, and I started going last year when we moved closer. I have seen both dentists, and both were personable and answered questions. I have seen two hygienists and both were thorough and provided education. This is a locally owned and family friendly dentist that I would highly recommend.
