The 512 Smiles team is brought together by our parallel vision. Each of us has a sincere passion for dentistry and people. We are united by a common goal: To support each individual in their unique journey towards whole-health.
Whole-health begins with your very first dental visit. From screening young developing children to complex adult rehabilitations, we are always looking beneath the surface. We believe well-informed patients are the most equipped to make the best decisions for themselves.
It is our mission to help improve the lives of our patients by being proactive with preventative care, conservative with dental care, and mindful when considering each patients’ unique circumstances.
We will always provide you with ideal treatment options, with your goals and long-term health in mind. You will leave our office with an in-depth understanding of your dental health, confident to make the best decision for you.
Dr. Priya Meghpara
Dr. Priya is known for her kind and welcoming personality, making even the most fearful patient feel at ease. She genuinely loves getting to know her patients, which is what makes her naturally able to help you comfortably reach your goals. Regardless of your oral health or cosmetic desires, Dr. Priya will take the necessary time to understand your concerns. When you are in her chair, you have her undivided attention.
After graduating from Temple University’s School of Dentistry in 2014, Dr. Priya knew she would be a student for life. Her passion stems from her desire to continuously improve her patients’ dental experience and level of care. Providing comprehensive, advanced dental care is a true life-long commitment. Dr. Priya enjoys all facets of dentistry while staying up to date on the latest technological advancements. She isn’t embarrassed to admit she enjoys listening to a good dental podcast while working out!
Giving back has been integral to Dr. Meghpara’s life and career. In Chicago, she provided after-school mentorship to children living in Chicago’s homeless shelters. She has traveled to Jamaica to provide dental care to impoverished rural communities, a trip she hopes to continue with her new team at 512 Smiles.
Dr. Priya and her husband, Mitchell, look forward to being active members of the Austin community for years to come. Their sweet pup Porter, who you might meet at the office, plans to spread laughs and happy thoughts! In her free time, Dr. Priya can’t help but have a little fun. She partakes in a weekly bowling league, loves trying new restaurants and cuisines, is an avid Cleveland sports fan, and loves anything involving the outdoors (unless it’s cold).
