Baptist Family Dental
Brian D. Baptist, D.D.S., M.S.
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Brian Baptist, the eldest son of Dr. David Baptist. I am a graduate of Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois where I majored in pre-medicine, Fine Arts, and Art History.
My education continued with a Master's degree at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville where I was involved in cell research and taught courses in anatomy. I completed my formal schooling at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry where I received my doctorate and excelled at restorative and pediatric dentistry. I was honored to serve as the student representative of the Chicago Dental Society in several capacities including academic chapter president.
I was fortunate to have been selected to serve an externship with the Indian Health Service, providing health care to the Inupiaq People of Alaska. Besides flying into remote villages with bush pilots, I was able to drive a dog team on a typical sled to the most northern point in North America, Point Barrow, Alaska.
I bring with me a relaxed yet professional demeanor. I love dentistry and teaching patients how to maintain their oral health. I am very pleased to be practicing with my father David and my brother Ben. As part of Baptist Family Dental, I welcome the opportunity to provide dental care for you and your family.
Benjamin A. Baptist, D.D.S.
I graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale Summa Cum Laude where I studied Biology and Chemistry. I held a two-year research assistantship with the department head of Chemistry and Biochemistry investigating materials to advance chemotherapy and nerve growth/re-attachment. I continued my education at the University of Illinois, College of Dentistry, graduating at the top of my class.
At the University of Illinois, my clinical training integrated all forms of dentistry including pediatrics, advanced restorative procedures, and dental implant therapy. I was a teaching assistant for both the Pediatric Dentistry Course and the Implant Dentistry Course. I continue to be involved with Dental Education, having taught at the University of Illinois as a clinical instructor before moving over to Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine as a clinical instructor.
I combined my love of traveling and cultures with expanded clinical experiences. Selected for an externship with the Indian Health Service, I traveled to the North Slope of Alaska and provided dental care to native Alaskans. One of the most memorable experiences was becoming a certified member of the Polar Bear Club.
My wife Diana, daughter Alexandra, son David, and I enjoy traveling, dancing, and playing with our two dogs. My hobbies also include carpentry, photography, and auto mechanics. Working with my father David and brother Brian has been a long-time goal. I look forward to helping the people who trust their care to Baptist Family Dental achieve their goals of optimal dental health and aesthetics.
