Cheryle Baptiste, DDS, PLLC

Dr. Cheryle Baptiste began working in the dental industry when she was 12 years old, helping out at her father’s practice where she began to learn the basics. There, she developed a passion for improving patients’ health, confidence, function, and oral aesthetics through dentistry.

Dr. Baptiste graduated from the Howard University College of Dentistry in 1984. She is a certified provider of the Shatkin FIRST Mini Dental Implants and  LightWalker Laser procedures. She is the Immediate Past President of her local chapter of the National Dental Association, Secretary of the National Dental Association, President-Elect of the local chapter of the American Dental Association, Fellow of the International College of Dentists, Fellow of the International Academy of Mini  Dental Implants and a member of the Academy of General Dentistry.

Dr. Baptiste and her team strive to stay informed about cutting-edge technologies and patient comforts. She takes into account the link between oral health and overall health and incorporates that into her treatment plans. One area of her focus is preparing patients for dental clearance when they need major medical procedures.

When not in the office, Dr. Baptiste spends her free time on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Her hobbies include entertaining friends and family, travel, outdoor hikes and cooking healthy meals with her partner, Mr. Darryl Hill.
