Thomas Salinas, DDS FAGD

Dr. Salinas was born in Texas and studied biology at Austin College in Sherman, TX. He started working in his dentist's office in 1994. A love of travel and service led him to the U.S. Peace Corps in Cameroon, West Africa, for Two and a half years, but he knew he would train to be a dentist before joining the Peace Corps.

He brought this service-minded mentality to his time at the University of Texas Dental School, where he served as American Student Dental Association President, student admissions liason, an exchange student with Matsumoto Dental School in Japan, and Race Coordinator for "Miles for Smiles".  He graduated with academic, clinical, and research honors then increased his skills attending the University of Florida's Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency in St. Petersburg.

Continuing education is a large part of his professional life, and he has traveled extensively, seeking further knowledge.  Currently he serves as President of the Woehler Research Group, the nations' oldest dental study club.  Recently Dr. Salinas was granted Fellowship status in the Academy of General Dentistry, an award only 6% of the dentists in the nation have achieved.

Dr. Salinas enjoys the challenge of diagnosis and treatment planning. He is exceptionally skilled in creating a set of solutions tailored to each patient, and he is delighted to see a case come together as planned.

In his limited free time, Dr. Salinas enjoys traveling and fishing with his wife, Boy Scouting and camping with his son, and learning about the latest social media trends with his daughter.
