In the midst of a rapidly changing world, where corporate dentistry trends often prioritize profit over personal connections, Shane Whisenant, D.D.S. stands as a beacon of continuity in Dripping Springs.
“I grew up here, my father grew up here, granddad, great-granddad, and further. Our family has been in Hays County since 1878,” he reflects, his commitment to the area evident in every word. Gatlin Creek Dentistry stands out by offering a unique blend of personalized care and a deep sense of local pride.
He and his wife Janey both grew up in Dripping Springs and went to Texas A&M. Together with their two boys Beckham and Ledger, they are here to stay. “I identify strongly with a sense of service to the community I grew up in,” says Whisenant.
For Whisenant, dentistry is more than just the profession he’s crafted for 14 years; it's a passion rooted in his early fascination with the intricacies of teeth, form, and function. “Every person's teeth tell a story; every smile is a unique signature of that person,” he says.
Whisenant envisions Gatlin Creek Dentistry as a continuation of the tight-knit values he experienced while growing up. "Folks here enjoy the comfort of knowing neighbors and wishing them well and helping them whenever they can because they care for one another," he says. “That is how it was when we grew up and I hope to help perpetuate that sense of community by practicing here.”
