Dr. Angela Velasquez is a restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Austin, TX. She started her dental career in Colombia, where she trained as a general dentist. After moving to the U.S., she completed her prosthodontic training at the University of Minnesota. She has worked in dentistry since 2007, including time as a dental assistant and lab tech before becoming a restorative dentist.
She knew early on that dentistry was the path for her. As a kid, she kept saying she wanted to be a dentist, even though no one in her family worked in healthcare. She started assisting to test it out and stuck with it.
Dr. Velasquez loves that at Nuvia she is able to work on full-arch cases every day. She also likes the teeth in 24 hours process. She has seen what happens when patients are in temporary teeth—things break, and it can get frustrating. At Nuvia, patients leave with a final set right away.
Her experience working with zirconia is also why she prefers it over acrylic plastics. It has been proven to be much stronger and doesn’t stain as easily.
For patients that are nervous, she understands. She knows full mouth dental implants can be a big step. Her focus is making sure you feel comfortable and know what to expect before anything starts.
Outside of work, she stays active. She enjoys working out, hiking, biking, and playing tennis. She also likes to cook and travel, especially with her mom.
Dr. Amireh Awad is a restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Austin, Texas. She has been in dentistry for 10 years, with the last eight years focused almost entirely on full-arch restorative care. Over that time, she has worked to fine-tune every detail of treatment so patients receive results that are both functional and life-changing.
Dr. Awad earned her dental training at Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, Texas, where she built a strong foundation in restorative care. What continues to motivate her is the impact this work has on patients’ lives—especially those who have struggled for years with confidence, function, or comfort.
The Nuvia team prioritizes doing things right the first time which is one reason Dr. Awad was drawn to it. Earlier in her career, she saw how often patients returned years later with broken or failing restorations that never should have been placed that way to begin with.
At Nuvia, the focus is on delivering a durable, high-quality prosthetic from day one. That approach reduces long-term problems and gives patients something they can truly rely on. For Dr. Awad, that commitment to quality—and the responsibility that comes with it—is what made Nuvia the right fit for her.
Outside of work, Dr. Awad is a busy mom of four and has been married for nearly 20 years. With children ranging from teenagers to toddlers, her life is full and fast-paced. When she finds time for herself, she prioritizes staying healthy through strength training and cardio so she can be fully present for both her family and her patients.
Originally from Yakima, Washington, Dr. Matthew Krieger was inspired to pursue oral surgery while attending dental school. He has always been driven by the urge to help others and found that the specialty of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery provided a way to comfortably and efficiently resolve patients’ dental and facial pain, as well as improve facial esthetics through procedures such as dental implant placement.
Dr. Krieger earned a bachelor’s degree in Spanish from Whitworth College in 2006. He completed dental school at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 2011 with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. Following dental school, Dr. Krieger completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Christiana Care Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware.
While Dr. Krieger has been practicing Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery since 2015, he has been focused exclusively on the “All on 4” implant procedure since 2019. Dr. Krieger found a true passion for this surgery when he witnessed the life changing effect and profound impact the procedure can have on the health and emotional well being of patients. Dr. Krieger looks forward to delivering this exceptional oral surgery and dental implant care to patients in the Austin community.
The traditional dental implant process can be outdated, inconvenient and long. Nuvia’s 24hr permanent teeth process is safe, convenient and fast.

Which is a better environment for your implants to heal—a flexible “healing” denture that can break, or Nuvia’s permanent teeth that can withstand up to 520+ pounds of force*? We place your permanent teeth the day after surgery so your implants get the stable support they need while your body naturally heals.
Many patients don’t realize how much their teeth are affecting their confidence until that weight is gone. With a smile that feels secure and functional, everyday things—meals, conversations, time with others—can start to feel easy and natural again.

Whether you’re trying to move on from dentures, deal with ongoing dental issues, or just want something more reliable, these dental implant services can help:
Some patients come to Nuvia after being told they’re not a candidate elsewhere. Because this is what our team does every day, they’re often able to work with more complex cases. If you’ve been turned away before, it may be worth taking a second look.
If you’ve been living with failing or missing teeth, you already know how much it holds you back. Smiling less. Avoiding certain foods. Feeling like people notice your teeth before they notice you.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
At Nuvia, we’ve helped countless people in Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, and Cedar Park leave those worries behind with permanent dental implants in 24 hours. No more dentures, no temporary teeth, and no waiting for what could be up to 10+ months before getting your permanent teeth.
You’ll have a team of an oral & maxillofacial surgeon, restorative dentist, and CRNA so you know you’re in good hands.
It’s time to start living a life unburdened by missing or failing teeth. It’s time for a smile you love.
Dentures and ongoing dental work can turn into a cycle of repairs, replacements, and daily compromises that can add up over time. Full mouth dental implants offer a more permanent option, helping many patients move past recurring replacement costs and frustrations with something that is designed to last a lifetime with proper care.

Will I have a gap between my teeth and gums after healing?
In some cases, a small gap can develop as you heal, but your care team plans for this and can make simple adjustments to improve the final fit and appearance at your 4 month follow up appointment.
What if I have concerns months after my procedure?
Whether it’s right after surgery or months later, staying in touch with your Austin care team is key—they’re there to support you and address any concerns as they come up.
How long do I have to wait before I can eat my favorite foods again?
You’ll start with a soft food diet (anything that can be cut with a plastic fork), typically for a few months, before returning to foods like steak or apples as your implants fully heal.
Can I still drink coffee after the procedure?
Yes—just stick to lukewarm or cold coffee at first, since hot temperatures can irritate healing areas early on.
Will dental implants affect my speech?
Most patients adjust quickly, though it can take a little time to get used to the feel of your new teeth, especially if you haven’t had a mouth full of teeth for a while—your team may even give simple exercises to help speed that up. Alternatively you can also review tips from other patients in the SML MKR club on Facebook.
