Dr. Elaine Schilling started her career in dentistry soon after her high school graduation where she began working as a dental assistant. After seven years as a chairside dental assistant, she entered the Texas Woman’s University Dental Hygiene program which she completed in the Spring of 1991. She entered into Baylor College of Dentistry that Fall and Dallas, Texas became her home for the next four years.
During her time there, several professors encouraged her to think about specializing in Prosthodontics. Before signing on for another three years of higher, she had the opportunity to spend some time with Baylor residents. After much discernment, she knew her passion was the restorative area of Prosthodontics.
Upon graduation in 1995, she immediately entered Texas A&M University Systems Baylor College of Dentistry (a big transition year for the school and the new Dr. Schilling). In 1998, she graduated with her Prosthodontic Specialty Degree and opened North Texas Dental Specialists in Muenster and Sherman, Texas. A business move in Muenster gave her the idea to rename the dental clinic to Smiles by German Design in honor of her German heritage.
Soon to follow was the sale of the Sherman practice to concentrate on bringing her niece Dr. Dana Fuhrmann into her practice, and eventual ownership. With twenty plus years of expertise, Dr. Schilling has acquired Main Street Dental Clinic in Whitesboro, Texas. She loves dentistry, and a good project to work on and is never bored with life and all God has provided for her and her husband Dale.
