At Vitality Dental, we're a boutique, dentist-owned practice on Coit Road in Plano, TX. We treat families, professionals, and seniors across North Texas, handling everything from six-month cleanings to full-mouth implant cases that other offices declined to take on. Our team is led by Dr. Andrew Kung, a Plano Senior High graduate who built this practice in the community he grew up in. If you've been searching for a dentist who explains every step, respects your time, and treats you like a neighbor rather than a chart number, you've found us.
A lot of dental offices in Plano today are owned by private equity groups and large dental service organizations. That model isn't always bad, but it changes what happens in the chair. Production quotas creep in. Dentists rotate out every few months. The person reviewing your X-rays at this visit may have never seen them before, and may interpret a stable, monitored area as an urgent problem.
Vitality Dental is built the other way. Dr. Andrew Kung, Dr. Gino Silvestre, and Dr. Brian Son own and run this practice. They see the same patients across years, not visits. They build records, watch trends, and make conservative recommendations because they're the ones who will still be here next time you come in.
When you call our office, you reach our team in Plano, not a centralized call center in another state. When you ask why we recommend a treatment, you get a direct answer from the dentist who would do the work, not a script.

Three dentists own and run this practice. Each has a slightly different clinical focus, so our scheduling team can match you to the right doctor based on what you actually need.
Dr. Andrew Kung is the founder of Vitality Dental and a Plano native. He graduated from Plano Senior High, earned his Bachelor of Science in Immunology and Molecular Genetics from UCLA, and completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery at NYU College of Dentistry before returning home to build his practice on Coit Road.
Dr. Kung holds two Fellowships that less than a tenth of general dentists ever earn: the Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry and the Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. He's a member of the American Dental Association and the Texas Dental Association, and during dental school he was active in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Academy of Prosthodontics.
His clinical focus sits at the intersection of comprehensive restorative work, dental implants, and cosmetic dentistry. He's especially patient with anxious patients and complex cases because he's been on the other side of the chair himself. During dental school, Dr. Kung underwent orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery and orthodontics to correct his own bite, which is why he treats dental fear and self-consciousness about a smile with empathy rather than lectures.
Outside the practice, Dr. Kung volunteers with the Texas Mission of Mercy and hosts our annual community events for the families we serve.
Dr. Gino Silvestre joined Vitality Dental after graduating from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, one of the most well-regarded dental programs on the West Coast. He brings a sharp clinical eye, a deep interest in digital dentistry, and a public-education streak that has earned him over a million followers on TikTok as @thedentalsenpai.
What that means for you in the chair: Dr. Silvestre explains. He'll walk you through what he's seeing on the intraoral camera, why a tooth looks the way it does, and what your real options are, in plain language. Patients who have felt talked down to in past dental visits tend to relax quickly with him.
His clinical interests include cosmetic dentistry, restorative work, and using newer digital tools to make procedures shorter and more predictable. He's a regular at continuing-education courses in scanning, smile design, and minimally invasive techniques, which keeps his approach current rather than rooted in whatever he learned a decade ago.
If you've ever wished a dentist would actually answer your "wait, what does that mean?" questions without making you feel like you should already know, Dr. Silvestre is probably your match.

Dr. Brian Son grew up in New Jersey, studied at Emory University, and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at USC. He joined Vitality Dental to focus on the kind of work patients tend to put off the longest: implants, restorative care for failing teeth, and rebuilding smiles after years of compromise.
That focus is intentional. Dr. Son has completed extensive implant training through the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and is pursuing Diplomate status with the same organization, the highest level of implant credentialing available to general dentists. He's also working toward his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry and is certified by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics to administer Botox for both cosmetic uses and therapeutic applications such as TMJ-related muscle pain.
Patients describe Dr. Son's chairside style as steady and methodical. He doesn't rush, he doesn't oversell, and he treats implants the way they should be treated: as a long-term decision that deserves a long-term plan, not a fast sale.
He recently completed advanced training with CAD-RAY in digital intraoral scanning and implant workflows, which now shape how Vitality Dental plans implant cases from first consult to final restoration.
Not sure which doctor is the right fit? Request a new-patient consultation and we'll match you to the right schedule and the right clinician.
We use the phrase "boutique, high-touch" a lot, and it's worth being specific about what we mean.
It starts with the room you walk into: warm lighting, a clean modern fit-out, no fluorescent hum, and a front team that recognizes your face on the second visit. We don't keep patients waiting twenty minutes past their appointment time, and if something is going to run long, we tell you when you check in.
In the chair, we cater to those with dental-phobia. If your last visit somewhere else left you white-knuckling the armrest, say so. We offer multiple levels of sedation, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation, and we walk through each option before you decide. None of it is mandatory. Some patients use it for every cleaning. Some only for surgical visits. Many never need it once they've gotten used to our team.
We also build in time. A first visit at Vitality Dental isn't a fifteen-minute pop-in. It's a comprehensive look at your mouth so we can map a realistic long-term plan, not just react to whatever hurts today.

Modern dental technology only matters if it makes care more accurate, more comfortable, or both. The tools we invest in have to clear that bar before they make it into our operatories.
The current lineup at Vitality Dental includes:
The part you actually feel is the result: shorter appointments, fewer retakes, fewer surprises, and treatment plans built on real data rather than rough estimates.

Plano is one of the most linguistically diverse cities in Texas, and our team reflects that. Between our dentists and clinical staff, we treat patients comfortably in English, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), and Spanish. If you'd be more relaxed explaining a symptom in your first language, you can. If you'd rather your parent or older relative not have to navigate a complex treatment plan through an interpreter, they don't have to. Mention your language preference when you book and we'll schedule you accordingly.
Most patients who join Vitality Dental come in for one thing and stay for everything. A new patient might book a cleaning and end up scheduling Invisalign months later. A parent might bring a child for a first visit and quietly book themselves a smile consultation. We're set up so you don't have to be referred out for the next step.
Under one roof, our team provides:

Dr. Kung grew up here. Plano Senior High, Coit Road, the same Friday-night football crowd. That isn't a tagline; it's the reason the practice exists where it does.
Vitality Dental partners with Plano Senior High School on local initiatives, joins the Texas Mission of Mercy each year to provide free dental care to Texans who couldn't otherwise access it, and hosts an annual Santa & Mrs. Claus event for the families we treat. Our team has also taken international dental mission trips to provide care in communities with little to no access to dentistry.
Some of the equipment-handling, anxiety-management, and triage skills our doctors bring to your appointment were sharpened in those settings. We're a Plano practice first, and the values we run on come from a wider circle.
Cost is one of the biggest reasons people delay care, and one of the most fixable. We work hard to make pricing predictable.
If you have insurance: We accept most major dental insurance plans and provide a complimentary benefits review before treatment so you know what's covered, what your share is, and what's optional. We won't push treatment your plan won't support, and we won't surprise you with charges after the fact.
If you don't have insurance: We built our own in-house dental plan to fill the gap. It includes:
"No Insurance? No Problem" isn't a slogan we made up to sound friendly; it's reflected in the plan structure.
If you'd like a quick walkthrough of what your treatment would cost before committing to anything, ask for a complimentary consultation. We'll show you the full picture, not just one number.
