Thao is meticulous about detail. Every patient leaves with a smile that is aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking and built to last — which, after three decades, she has a very clear idea of how to achieve.

What Thao treats

• Smile makeovers — Planning a full smile as one piece of work rather than a series of separate fixes.
• Cosmetic dentistry — Veneers, whitening and reshaping, matched to your face rather than a shade chart.
• Dental implants — Replacing missing teeth with a fixed, long-term result.
• Orthodontics — Straightening teeth where alignment is part of the bigger picture.
• TMJ and jaw-pain management — Assessment and management of jaw pain, clicking and clenching.

Common questions

What actually happens in a smile makeover?
It starts with a conversation about what bothers you and what you want the result to look like. Thao then plans the whole smile as one piece of work — which might combine veneers, whitening, reshaping or implants — rather than treating each tooth in isolation.

Can you help with jaw pain or clenching?
Yes. Thao has a long-standing interest in TMJ and jaw-pain management, so if you’re getting clicking, morning headaches or worn-down teeth, it’s worth raising at your appointment.

Thao’s approach

Thao’s work tends to be the kind you don’t notice — which is the point. Aesthetics matter, but so does how the result holds up in five and ten years, and that is where three decades of watching your own work age becomes genuinely useful.

She also leads the clinical side of the practice, which means the more complex cases at Bilby Dental get her eyes on them.
