About The Practice

Dr. Dwight H. Pate was graduated from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 1985. He then completed a residency program in General Dentistry at The University of Alabama in Birmingham where he began acquiring considerable knowledge in the concept of comprehensive dental diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment delivery. With this background he opened his private practice in Auburndale, FL in 1988. He continued his pursuit of comprehensive excellence by placing a strong emphasis on continuing education in order to stay current with the leading edge materials and methods available. This led him to complete extensive studies with The Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Study in St. Petersburg, FL and The Institute for Advanced Dental Studies in Swampscott, MA near Boston. Also studying with The Pride Institute, these studies and other ongoing continuing education have helped him to develop his philosophy of comprehensive state-of-the-art dentistry and help him to keep his diagnostic and treatment planning skills current and up to date.

As such, he is able to offer his patients the very best, most esthetic and most predictable dentistry available to establish and maintain optimal oral health, and to design and deliver the attractive smile that everyone desires.

Dr. Pate is a member in good standing of the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, the West Coast Dental Association, the Polk County Dental Association and the Vision Study Club a component of the Seattle Study Club.

Dr. Pate and his wife Becky are enjoying their first and only marriage since 1982. They are the proud parents of 2 girls and 2 boys. They love tennis, boating, snorkeling, skiing and Auburn football.
