Our team shines bright at A Summer Smile. While providing state-of-the-art dental care is important, the people aspect matters to us, too. Our friendly, enthusiastic team goes above and beyond to make sure you feel at home. We talk to you like a friend or family member instead of just another patient. Our team takes the time to get to know you and understand your dental concerns and goals in order to help you achieve a healthy, attractive smile you love.
Dr. Summer Rydel graduated cum laude with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. During her time in Lubbock, she was actively involved in her sorority and a member of Golden Key National Honors Society. After graduating, Dr. Summer Rydel served as a dental assistant in Austin while preparing for dental school. She moved to New York to pursue her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from New York University Collge of Dentistry and returned to set up her own practice, A Summer Smile. To remain current in her field, she is a member of the Capital Area Dental Society, the Texas Dental Association, and the American Dental Association.
When she is not in the office, Dr. Rydel gives back to the community through outreach programs and volunteer work. In her spare time, she enjoys running, cycling, and playing sports.
Dr. Archung joined our practice in July 2024. However, he is no stranger to dentistry; he graduated Temple University of Dentistry in 2000 and began practicing in southern California as a partner for nearly 20 years.
Dr. Archung grew up in California, where he enjoyed a variety of physical activities, such as boating, surfing, golfing, and skiing. Dr. Archung has been married to his beautiful wife, Raquel, for 22 years. Their son and daughter (fraternal twins) will be attending college in the fall of 2024!
His family made their way to Texas in 2021 and they have enjoyed Austin’s food scene and water highlights. You may find him on Lake Travis on the weekends or eating at Hopdoddy Burger Bar with his family.
Like Dr. Rydel, Dr. Archung is a general and cosmetic Dentist who particularly enjoys implant restorations and cosmetic restorative work.
