Your smile is in great hands! Dr. Ryan is best described as a personable, dedicated, and gentle dentist who genuinely cares for the oral health of all her patients. She strongly believes in providing comprehensive treatment while also educating her patients to ensure they understand the causes of their dental issues, what the best treatment options are, and most importantly, how to prevent these issues from recurring. Her warm chair-side manner and exceptional communication skills contribute to her success on prevention and conservative dental treatment to help patients increase the longevity of every tooth and maintain a lifetime of excellent oral health. Dr. Ryan will listen to you, create a personalized treatment plan that is specific to your individual needs, and will take the time to answer all your questions.
Dr. Ryan earned her D.D.S at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry, the only accelerated dental program in the country. After her studies, Dr. Ryan then continued her advanced training and residency at Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn. Additionally, Dr. Ryan continues to advance her dental skills by attending various education courses around the country, focusing on cosmetic dentistry. Prior to Dr. Ryans relocation to Austin, TX, she spent ten years in NYC. During her time in New York, Dr. Ryan was a faculty member at Columbia School of Dentistry where she provided hands-on clinical instruction to dental students, while simultaneously running her dental practice in Rockefeller Center.
Aside from caring for her patients, Dr. Ryans interests include health and fitness, hiking with her husband & dog, exploring new restaurants, and trips to San Francisco to visit her family. Dr. Ryan is excited to be a part of Budas growing community and looks forward to meeting you.
Dr. Marcin Bednarski has an interesting background as he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Arizona, receiving his dual Bachelor of Science in Business Management and Entrepreneurship. This education was intentional as Dr. Bednarski has always wanted to be a creator and in charge of his own brand; one of the reasons himself and Dr. Dhanish decided to work together as they shared the same desires. Dentistry has always been the end goal however and he received his DMD from the Midwestern School of Dental Medicine in Arizona. It is one of the most experience driven and cutting edge programs in the country.
Receiving partial exposure to implant dentistry in his graduate studies, Dr. Bednarski continued his training with the year long prestigious AAID Las Vegas Maxi Course covering all aspects of implant dentistry. It is one of the most comprehensive non-university implant trainings offered in the United States. Dr. Bednarski has always had a thirst for knowledge and believes that complacency is the death of progress. Dr. Bednarski completed his full-mouth implant rehabilitation training at the California Implant Institute from world-renowned implantologist, Dr. Louie Al Faraje. He is currently a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and Fellow of the International Congress of Implantologists.
Dentistry is a career that is very interdisciplinary in nature and many of different specialties influence success. Dr. Bednarski realized the connection between his daily work and orthodontics and decided to pursue it in order to better serve his patients. He trained under the founder of Fast Braces Dr. Anthony Viazis to expand his horizons in the field of orthodontics. He currently holds a Master Provider Distinction with Fast Braces Technology. He is also actively participating in a two year long fellowship with Progressive Orthodontic Seminars learning detailed orthodontic techniques. Dr. Bednarski is looking to complete his Master Thesis in Germany to obtain a Masters in Specialized Orthodontics in the future.
In the realm of Aesthetic and Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Bednarski has adopted the Digital Smile Design Philosophy pioneered by Dr. Christian Coachman. This concept focuses on analyzing the patient's facial and dental proportions by utilizing high quality series of digital photographs and videos. It allows for a better understanding of the relationship of the teeth, gums, lips, and smile with the facial features in motion and with emotion. Dr. Bednarski completed the initial DSD Residency and is working on becoming a certified DSD Master. When it comes to Cosmetic Cases, Dr. Bednarski has an additional advantage to his workflow. He proudly works and collaborates with his father who is a European trained Dental Technician with 30 years of experience. This allows him to deliver uniquely crafted smiles with every case.
Dr. Bednarski has achieved his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry in 2021, only 6% of dentists in the nation achieve this level of distinction which takes perseverance and dedication to the profession.

Dr. Ryan is an excellent dentist. She truly cares for her patients and will go above and beyond to accommodate them. I've had a handful of dental needs this year that Dr. Ryan has helped me with,( two crowns and a filling). To top off all the dental work performed this year. I recently had to get a root canal thru a provider she referred me to due to the complexity of the problem. I had to go back to Dr. Ryan to have a filling where the root canal was conducted. I was headed out of town and needed to be seen quickly to get it filled. She was able to move some things around in her schedule to accommodate my needs, which I really appreciated. Her staff is fantastic and very attentive. I value how when Dr. Ryan is performing a exam she explains all the steps she is going to execute during the procedure. It provides clarity and gives me a sense of ease needed, as I can get pretty nervous during these types of things. I highly recommend Dr. Ryan and her staff for any of your dental needs you may have!

Dr. Ericka Ryan is wonderful! I was very anxious and terrified of pain. Dr. Ryan's calm, patient and professional treatment helped me relax and there was no pain. She took great care of me and I recommend her to anyone needing any dental care.

I honestly feel like I've been scouting high and low for a decent dentistry to call home!! Well, I just might have found it this time I went for a general cleaning which was pleasant. I wish I would've collected everyone's name that I communicated with, but Dr. Ryan was great especially when it came to knowing what I needed done. I will be returning in a couple weeks and this will determine my final say. I'll be back with further updates!!!

Dr. Ericka Ryan and the team at Vida Buda are amazing! I've finally found my dentist here in ATX and it feels so good. The cleanings I've received have hands down been the most thorough and best I've ever had. Dr. Ryan is super personable and kind and really cares about the well being of your comfort and health of your teeth and gums. She's great at describing what's she's seeing, super real about any problem areas and what needs to be done to correct anything or preventative measures that need to be taken. I love that the office is right off highway 35 and really easy to get to from downtown. The booking system and text reminders are great and make it super easy to stay on top of my dental hygiene.

Terrible dental office. I have been a patient for years, but definitely COVID has impacted the quality of dentistry and customer care they are currently providing. I have requested a call back due to an incident I had with the staff member 3 weeks ago and nobody called me back. I submitted a contact form on their website and still no call back. This office is not what it used to be. Dr. Patel is clearly not caring for patients as much as he used to. He hired new staff members that do not care about patients, they only care about meeting numbers and generating revenue. Please find another office.
