Dr. Thu Trinh

Thu Trinh, DDS

Biological Dentist, Founder

Dr. Thu Trinh is a highly trained dentist who specializes in functional and biomimetic dentistry, having studied under respected mentors in the field. With over a decade of experience serving the Austin community, she has seen firsthand that true wellness starts with connection—and with the right support, people can rise to their best selves.

That belief became the foundation of Rise Dental: a space intentionally designed to support both your health and your sense of well-being. From the soothing colors of the walls to the premium tea selection in the lobby, every detail was chosen with intention to create an experience that feels both restorative and elevated.

Outside the office, she enjoys swimming with her dogs, eating tacos, tinkering with technology, and creating imaginary worlds with her kids.

Dr. Robert Banh

Robert Banh, DDS

Restorative Dentist

For almost a decade, Dr. Banh served as the lead dentist at a Fortune 500 company’s wellness center in Austin, Texas, working side-by-side with physicians, acupuncturists, dietitians, chiropractors, and nurses. That multidisciplinary environment gave him a deep understanding on how dentistry connects to whole-body health.

Today, he brings that full-scope perspective into private practice—offering care that is comprehensive, minimally invasive, and designed around each patient’s long-term well-being. From preventive dentistry to advanced therapies such as Invisalign® and Botox® for TMJ, his focus is always on practical solutions that last.

On his free time, Dr. Banh enjoys working out, building projects in the woodshop, professional landscape photography, and traveling to new places with his family.
