Hi! My name is Nikita Singh, and I'm extremely honored to be a dentist at Highpoint Dental Care. I chose to be a part of this office because we have the most hard-working and knowledgeable team that goes above and beyond to help take care of the dental needs of our patients. At our office, we are passionate about helping people understand why certain dental problems arose, educating patients on how to prevent future problems, providing options for patients so that they can choose a plan that will best suit their individual needs, answering all of our patients' questions and closely working with labs to provide the best possible results. I love being a dentist because I have the unique opportunity to help patients out of pain, improve smiles, and educate patients on proper oral hygiene and nutrition, which ultimately contribute significantly to their overall oral and general health.
Prior to working for Highpoint Dental Care, I provided dentistry to wheelchair-bound residents within nursing home communities, and took care of patients many other dentists were unwilling to treat or see. I was able to provide dental care to senior residents by calmly reassuring them and delivering dental care with a compassionate and gentle touch. I chose to leave that side of the profession in order to develop long lasting relationships with patients and provide a dental home to residents and their families within a community, where I can help transform their teeth, maintain their dental health over time, and also help their loved ones achieve their dental goals. My desire is to be the dentist that patients look forward to seeing and can trust.
Being able to give back to the community is also a huge passion of mine and one of the main reasons for pursuing dentistry in the first place. I have participated in the Smiles For Everyone Foundation, the Dallas Shared Ministries, the Hope Clinic. Bi-annual free sealant and prophy days, the GRACE foundation, and a mission trip to Jamaica where free dental care was provided to the underserved community. Going forward, it is my plan to continue participating in programs that benefit the underserved Colorado communities and the communities abroad.
Furthermore, I am a continued education enthusiast, who believes being a great dentist requires constant learning. Being able to continuously grow as a dentist and incorporate new technologies and advanced techniques are some my main goals as a dentist and being a part of Highpoint Dental Care allows me to fulfill those goals. In addition, I'm part of the Academy of General Dentistry, I stay up to date on current literature and guidelines, and I continue to partner with specialists to implement dentistry on a specialist scale.
As far as my education, I graduated with high honors from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Psychology, a minor in Spanish, and a 4 year membership within the Pre-dental society. I scored in the 99th percentile in my Dental Admissions Test and received my DDS degree (Doctor of Dental Surgery) from the University of Texas A&M College of Dentistry, previously known as Baylor College of Dentistry. Upon graduating, I moved to wonderful city of Denver to enjoy all the activities the rocky mountains has to offer. In our free time, my husband, sweet dog, and I like to be outside in any shape or form, whether it be hiking, biking, snowboarding, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, or just playing frisbee at the park.
That's a brief overview of me, and now I look forward to seeing and talking with each one of you and learning more about you and your dental needs and wants. Come see us! We can't wait to help you :)
