Dr. Jai Shin Odenton, Dentist

Meet Dr. Jai Shin


Dr. Jai Shin grew up in Baltimore County. He attended college at Swarthmore College just outside of Philadelphia and then moved out west to complete a master’s degree in genetics at the University of California at Berkeley. Upon returning back home from his graduate work, Dr. Shin earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. He completed a general practice residency with a focus on oral surgery and prosthodontics at St. Joseph Medical Center in Reading, PA.

Dr. Shin attends continuing education courses throughout the year in an effort to constantly provide leading-edge treatment to his patients, including periodontal therapies, implant placement and restorations, crown lengthening surgeries, and more. He also volunteers his time, providing pro bono dental services at Mid-Maryland Mission of Mercy.

At True Dental, Dr. Shin and his team strive to earn your trust through respectful care and honest diagnoses and treatment plans that meet your individual needs. We promise not to rush our work and to give each person the attention they deserve, getting to know them and their unique dental needs. Ultimately, our goal is to provide truthful information and recommendations about your oral health so that you can make an informed decision about your treatment.

When not in the office, Dr. Shin enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, watching movies and cooking from time to time. He’s a lifelong Orioles fan who bleeds orange. Dr. Shin looks forward to getting to know you!
