Early Life & Path To Dentistry
Dr. Siny Thomas was born in India and spent much of his childhood in Africa.

He earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Mysore in India, gaining valuable experience in clinical and hospital dentistry. In 1999, he moved to the U.S. and made Sugar Land his permanent home. He later completed his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston and returned to Texas in 2003 to begin serving the community.
