Experienced Oak Point, TX Dentist
Get to Know
Dr. Jainisha Patel
Dr. Jainisha says that dentistry is a humble but satisfying profession. She feels very fortunate to have the opportunity to serve her dental patients by educating them about their dental health, getting them out of pain, and enhancing their smiles, and she has been doing this for over a decade. Before you have a chance to meet her and experience The Elegant Dentistry for yourself, you can learn a little more about her background below.
Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Growing up, Dr. Jainisha accompanied her grandfather, mom, and dad to their dental appointments, and this is what first piqued her interest in dentistry. She didn’t consider making it her career until high school, and all these years later, she couldn’t be happier with her decision.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Jainisha earned her first dental degree in her native India, and after moving to the U.S., she went on to graduate from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Dental School, which is widely considered to be one of the top programs in the country.
After finishing school, she completed a dental implant preceptorship and worked as an associate dentist before joining the U.S. Army in 2015. Today, she is in the National Guard Reserve and a certified Invisalign provider. She is also an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry and the American Academy of Clear Aligners.
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Jainisha’s home is delightfully full thanks to her husband, their three children, as well as her in-laws. They all love spending time together, and everyone is a foodie! Over 90% of what they eat is cooked from scratch, so she ends up spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Outside of the house, you’ll often find Dr. Jainisha staying active by hiking, running, doing CrossFit, and practicing yoga.
