About Diane P. Banks, DDS
Dr. Banks is a lifelong Texan, and central to her practice of dentistry is the principle of providing patients with the highest quality service in a conservative manner. She strongly believes in working together with patients to create comprehensive treatment plans that best fit 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 the top of her class. This program focused on a wide variety of advanced dental techniques, including implant dentistry, IV sedation, the removal of wisdom teeth, and care for patients with medical conditions. Today, Dr. Banks has invested hundreds of hours into continuing education, and she regularly volunteers her services to those in need of high-quality treatment both locally and abroad. She is an active member of the following organizations: On her days away from the office, Dr. Banks enjoys exploring Houston with her husband and their rescue dog Leo. 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 still takes classes at Houston Ballet!
