Why am I a Dentist? I love preserving and restoring smiles! I developed a passion for dentistry at a very young age after years of orthodontic work transformed my mouth. I was fascinated with the changes as they were occurring and the impact they had on my appearance and self-esteem. Since that early age, I have learned much more about the importance of a healthy dentition and oral cavity, both aesthetically and functionally. As the primary gateway into the body, the mouth plays a crucial role in regulating our overall health. Maintaining good oral health and proper function is necessary to maintain our quality of life. These basic principles are why I take such care in listening, educating, and formulating solutions to help all my patients reach their optimal dental and overall health. I have met many people who have developed a fear of dentists from a previous bad experience. I am very passionate about easing these fears and anxieties and cultivating a different reputation for dentistry. I treat my patients like family and will always think and formulate treatment plans with the best intentions for my patients in mind. Making your dental visit a positive experience is my top priority! Dental Background I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree with distinction from UT Health San Antonio School of Dentistry in 2016. I was fortunate enough to learn advanced clinical techniques from some of dentistry’s leading professionals and work with the industry’s leading technology. I even got to place the first Straumann zirconia implant in the country! I received numerous awards during my dental school career, including the T. Schoeni Wolfe DDS Memorial Award for delivering exceptional patient-centered care and the International Congress of Oral Implantology Pre-Doctoral Student Achievement Award for excelling in implant placement and restoration. I was selected for multiple programs that provided advanced training, including Geriatrics surgery, Implantology, and our Orthodontic program that commenced in Invisalign certification.
