Meet Dr. Salil Mehta DMD in Keller

Hi, I'm Dr. Salil Mehta. I feel incredibly blessed to have served the Keller and North Fort Worth area since 2013. Building strong bonds with our team members and patients has been a privilege that I cherish deeply. This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I eagerly look forward to the years ahead.

What I appreciate most about dentistry is the connections I make with our patients. Growing up, I moved around quite a bit—from Fiji to Wales and then to Michigan. While each move presented its challenges, it also taught me invaluable lessons in adapting to diverse environments and connecting with people from all walks of life. These experiences greatly influenced my decision to pursue a career in healthcare.

After high school, I pursued Microbiology at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and soon after focused my attention on dentistry. Attending dental school at Boston University was a rigorous yet incredibly rewarding experience, from the challenging curriculum to the lifelong friendships forged with classmates and mentors.

Following dental school, I completed a General Practice Residency at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. This year was pivotal in refining my skills and exposing me to advanced dental technologies, particularly in trauma care.

Continuing education remains a priority for me. I actively participate in local study groups like the Seattle Study Group and Spear Study Group, where I collaborate with fellow dentists and specialists. Recently, my dental assistant, Jordan, and I completed a digital dentistry training program at the MOD Institute in Charleston, focusing on cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing in dentistry.

Outside of dentistry, I cherish spending time with my wife Nikita, our son Neelay, and daughter Neeva. They keep me grounded and fill my life with so much joy - and they always keep it interesting!
