Dr. Nichole Kostiuk, founder and dentist at TRU Dentistry SoCo in South Austin, TX

Meet The Founder

Dr. Kostiuk's path in dentistry began with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Central Florida. She went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where she received comprehensive training in both clinical dentistry and patient-centered care.

Following graduation, Dr. Kostiuk continued developing her clinical experience while practicing in a busy private practice setting in Boston, where she pursued continuing education in cosmetic dentistry, implantology, clear aligner therapy, and TMJ Botox. That combination of clinical experience and ongoing education continues to shape her patient-centered approach to care today.

Philosophy & Approach

Dr. Kostiuk believes great dentistry starts with great listening. She takes time to understand each patient’s concerns, answer questions thoughtfully, and create treatment plans centered around communication, comfort, and individualized care.

At TRU Dentistry SoCo, her goal is to build long-term relationships with patients through compassionate care and meaningful connection. Every patient who walks through the door deserves to feel heard, respected, and confident in their care.

Staying at the Forefront

Dr. Kostiuk is committed to continuing education and staying current with modern advancements in dental techniques and technology. She regularly pursues advanced training and continuing education to help provide patients with thoughtful, modern care tailored to their individual needs and goals.

A Proud Member of the Soco Community

Dr. Kostiuk quickly fell in love with Austin’s creativity, energy, and strong sense of community after relocating to the city. When she's not in the office, you'll find her out on Austin's trails with her dog, uncovering new favorite spots around town, or planning her next travel adventure and immersing herself in new cultures around the world. South Austin felt like the perfect place to build a practice rooted in community, connection, and genuinely personalized care.
