About David N. Karbach, DDS
David N. Karbach D.D.S. Born and raised in Indiana, I'm a Hoosier transplant. At Indiana University I earned a Bachelor's degree in both Chemistry and Biology and moved to Texas to work at Dow Chemical. Two years later I decided to become a dentist. In 1987 I received my dental degree from The University of Texas Dental School here in San Antonio. For five years after graduating, I was proud to serve as a dentist in the United States Navy. My duty stations included a submarine base, an air base and the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. It was in 1993 that I began my private practice at Babcock Family Dental. As member of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), I achieved fellowship status in 2007. This required many hours of continuing education and passing a rigorous, comprehensive exam. I became a Master of the AGD in 2011. This required taking 1100 more hours of structured, high quality continuing education. I really love dentistry. I enjoy and gain a lot of knowledge from my continuing education courses. But over time I discovered that dentistry is really about people. I've learned much more from my patients than from any continuing education course. It only takes one patient saying, ""Thank you"" to make my day. I feel lucky to be a dentist.
