Meet Diane Banks DDS, LVIF
Dr. Diane Banks is a lifelong Texan, and central to her practice of dentistry is the principle of caring for patients comprehensively to change their lives. She believes in working together with patients to create a treatment plan that best fits their dental needs and long-term goals. Ultimately, she wants to give them the thoughtful type of care that she would offer to her own family members!
As for her education, Dr. Banks graduated from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas with her Bachelor’s in Business Administration. She then pursued her Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. After working in private practice for some time and listening to the needs of her patients, she was inspired to pursue advanced dentistry, leading to her acceptance in a nationally recognized post-doctorate program. She completed the Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. This program focused on a wide variety of advanced dental techniques, including implant dentistry, sedation and care for patients with medical conditions.
Today, Dr. Banks has invested hundreds of hours in continuing education and has completed the curriculum to receive her fellowship status with the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. She is now working towards a fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry. She is an active member of the following organizations:
- American Dental Association®
- Texas Dental Association
- Greater Houston Dental Society
- International Association of Physiologic Aesthetics
On her days away from the office, Dr. Banks enjoys exploring Houston with her husband and their twin girls. She is a lifelong ballet dancer, which instilled in her both an appetite for perfection and an affinity for details. She enjoys practicing ballet to this day and takes classes at the Houston Ballet!
