Get to Know Dr. Morren
Dr. Morren is a native of Texas and grew up only a few hours away in Dallas. He knew he wanted to one day work in dentistry all the way back in the 6th grade after having a wonderful, transformative experience with his childhood orthodontist. He loved his new-found confidence and wanted to be able to provide similar positive experiences for his own patients.
After attending Texas Tech University for his undergraduate degree, Dr. Morren attended the University of Texas School of Dentistry at the Houston Health Science Center, where he met his wife. Together, they proudly graduated from dental school with their DDS degrees. Now, Dr. Morren is honored to be able to provide his patients with exceptional dental care in Austin. Dr. Morren has also undergone substantial training in smile design, implant dentistry, and clear aligner therapy. He is committed to dedicating his time to continuing education courses so that he may provide the best care possible for his patients.
Dr. Morren’s favorite part of his job is getting to interact with his patients on a daily basis. He truly enjoys being able to develop trusting relationships with patients and helping them feel comfortable in his care. He feels rewarded when his patients who may be nervous or skeptical about visiting the dentist put their trust in him and he is able to deliver on his word to provide an exceptional and comfortable experience.
Outside of the office, Dr. Morren can probably be found playing golf or watching football as he is a huge sports fan. Also, Dr. Morren and his wife are self-proclaimed “foodies!” Together, they enjoy trying all the new restaurants that Austin has to offer. Dr. Morren and his wife also make trips to Colorado when they can for outdoor hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter. They love being outdoors and like to get out on the water whenever they get the chance, whether it is floating down the Guadalupe River, paddle boarding on Lake Austin, or hanging out on a boat on Lake Travis. When you see Dr. Morren, be sure to ask him about his latest travels!
Get to Know Dr. Michelle
A Dallas native, Dr. Michelle knew from a young age that she wanted to pursue healthcare. Her passion for dentistry became personal when she saw firsthand how much her father’s dentist was able to help him. That experience inspired her to pursue a career where she could provide that same level of care and make a meaningful difference in the lives of her patients.
Dr. Michelle earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Texas A&M School of Dentistry, where she developed a deep appreciation for the artistry, precision, and personal connection that make dentistry so rewarding. She is passionate about creating healthy, confident smiles while ensuring that every patient feels heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. Her approach is centered around thoughtful, individualized treatment and creating an experience that feels comfortable, welcoming, and never rushed.
Outside of the office, Dr. Michelle enjoys traveling, discovering new restaurants, spending time outdoors, and enjoying quality time with her friends, family, and two dogs. She loves practicing hot yoga, going on hikes, and being on the water whenever she can. Whether she is planning her next adventure, trying a new restaurant, or relaxing with the people and pets she loves most, she brings the same warmth, curiosity, and genuine connection to her personal life that she brings to caring for her patients.
Get to Know Dr. Mink
Originally from the St. Louis, Missouri area, Dr. Mink completed her undergraduate education at the University of Missouri-Columbia where she graduated Cum Laude with a major in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Psychology. While in college, Dr. Mink was able to maintain her grades while staying involved in various organizations. Her involvement in the Global Medical Brigades brought her to the field of Dentistry where she fell in love with the profession. It was in Nicaragua that she was able to help hundreds of patients restore their confidence in themselves and give them the ability to smile again. Since that trip to Nicaragua, Dr. Mink has devoted herself to serving others.
Dr. Mink proceeded to get her doctorate from the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry where she excelled as one of the top students of her class. While in dental school, she continued her love for service through involving herself in organizations such as Give Kids a Smile, Missouri Mission of Mercy, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Dr. Mink was also active in the American Student Dental Association.
Dr. Mink considers her patients to be like family and it is her mission to help them feel confident in who they are by giving them their best smile. She strives to always deliver excellence with compassion and warmth.
Dr. Mink’s love for adventure and challenge brought her to Texas following dental school, where she found herself right at home (and much warmer than in Missouri). A fitness enthusiast and food lover, she has found so many things to love about Texas. When not serving others, she enjoys traveling, exercising and exploring new hobbies. Her newest hobbies include scuba diving, and learning to speak Spanish. She has a huge heart for animals especially for her fur baby Tilly, who she loves to spoil.
Dr. Mink is a member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, Texas Dental Association, American Academy of Clear Aligners, and Seattle Study club.
