Dr. Elyse Barron is a firm believer that a healthy mouth and a healthy body go hand in hand. She is interested in the art and science of educating our patients on how to keep their smiles beautiful and brilliant for a lifetime! She grew up in a family that focused on being physically active and nutritionally conscious for a lifetime. This is one of the reasons why she focuses on empowering others to live healthier lifestyles.

Dr. Barron began her undergraduate education at the University of Texas at Austin and she completed her bachelor’s degree at the University of Washington in Seattle. She graduated from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in 2008 before moving back to Austin. Both Austin and Seattle are wonderful cities to live in and she enjoys the great food they have to offer!

Trust is essential in healthcare. Dr. Barron is so grateful for the trust her patients show in her approach to healthcare. She strives to make every visit to the dentist an enjoyable one by treating each patient with respect and compassion.

To Dr. Barron, staying current with the latest advances in dentistry is vital to providing exceptional care. Proving her dedication to lifelong learning, Dr. Barron has spent over 2000 hours in continuing education. She first earned her Fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry (F.A.G.D.) and has gone on to earn the prestigious Mastership with the Academy of General Dentistry (M.A.G.D). A designation held by only 2% of dentists in the United States. In 2024, she also completed the Bale and Doneen Preceptorship allowing 12 Oaks Dental to introduce the BaleDoneen Method of Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention.

Dr. Barron finds her rejuvenation in the outdoors whether it’s running, camping, climbing, or basking in the Texas sunshine. Her children Kinsley and Zane keep her busy playing supermom, otherwise known as chef, chauffeur, teacher, medic, playmate, and professional hugger. Cade, her husband, and best friend, keeps his lovely wife sane with his not-so-funny puns and never-ending support in all her crazy endeavors.
