At StarImage Dentistry, we take great care in choosing our dental team. Our dentists all have extensive experience from their decades in dentistry. They have received elite training at some of the leading dental institutions in the nation. And they deliver outstanding care to our patients.

So there’s a high bar for any dentist who wants to join our team, and it’s hard to find anyone who meets our standards. But with Dr. Dustin Van Tassell, we believe we’ve found a new dentist who can meet our rigorous standards and can make StarImage Dentistry an even better practice.

A Texas Native

Dr. Van Tassell was born in Bryan, Texas. Though he spent much of his young life in Wyoming and Idaho, he has long wanted to move back to the land of his birth, which he did almost as soon as he graduated from dental school, moving to Burkburnett, Texas.

A Passionate Dental Student

Dr. Van Tassell was intrigued by dentistry since he was in high school. This is partly due to the mentorship of his family dentist, who let young Dustin shadow him around the office because of the young man’s insatiable curiosity about dentistry. When Dr. Van Tassell had to have two root canal treatments performed on his front teeth after a basketball injury, his dentist let him watch in a mirror.
His curiosity and passion about dentistry drive him still.

Meet Your Wichita Falls Dentist

Dr. Van Tassell’s passion for dentistry is matched by his dedication to clinical excellence. His talent was recognized early when he became one of only eight pre-dental students selected for the Idaho Dental Education Program, earning the opportunity to attend Creighton University. While there, faculty selected him for the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Dental Society in recognition of his academic achievement and commitment to exceptional patient care.

At Creighton, Dr. Van Tassell received awards for excellence in prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, and endodontics—disciplines that provide a strong foundation for comprehensive dental implant treatment. After earning Dean’s List honors throughout all four years, he graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Committed to providing advanced care as a Wichita Falls implant dentist, Dr. Van Tassell has continued his education well beyond dental school. He has completed extensive training at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), where he refined his skills in complex restorative and cosmetic dentistry. He also pursues ongoing education in dental implant planning, placement, and restoration to remain current with the latest techniques and technology.

As a member of the American Dental Association and the Texas Dental Association, Dr. Van Tassell is committed to lifelong learning and delivering predictable, long-lasting implant solutions. Whether replacing a single missing tooth or restoring an entire smile with implant-supported restorations, he provides personalized treatment designed to restore function, confidence, and long-term oral health for patients throughout Wichita Falls and the surrounding communities.
