My Oath to you:

I will be a provider that helps change your view of dental care
Salome Masrani, DDS MPH
I’m a midwestern girl from Kansas City. During high school, after volunteering with a dentist for a couple of summers, I had been accepted to the reserved admission program at UMKC School of Dentistry. I moved to St. Louis to attend Washington University for undergraduate studies before returning to Kansas City. After completing dental school at UMKC, I completed a General Practice Residency at LSU and stayed for a second year as Chief Resident for a more hospital-based training, but also took full advantage of southern living and the New Orleans food scene. Having my sights set on becoming an Endodontist, I applied and was admitted to Temple University in Philadelphia. At Temple University, I completed my training in root canals, retreatments, root-end surgery and was named Chief Resident during my second year. Though I loved Philly for its architecture and food scene, I moved to Austin, Texas after completing my residency. Austin quickly became home and is really where I have matured as a provider and gotten a lot more experience. I have been practicing Endodontics in Austin, Texas since 2017. While working, I also decided I still wanted to learn more and try to be able to do more to impact dentistry and public health. I completed a Masters in Public Health through the UNC Gillings School of Public Health. Currently, I am in the process of completing my board certification process, with just the last of three parts to submit. To continue learning, I have also started an Orofacial Pain and Pathology masters program through USC, which will only continue to help to make sure we make more accurate treatment decisions.
Outside of dentistry, my passions are cooking, reading, art/painting, yoga, mindfulness/meditation, and DOGS.
