here to support growing smiles in south austin
Minimint is where modern dentistry meets joyful, judgement-free care. Started by board-certified pediatric dentist and South Austin mom, Dr. Patricia Robus, our modern office is a place where kids are nurtured and families are supported. With advanced cavity prevention methods and modern, minimally invasive options, we make each visit empowering and fun.
We're proud to serve families in Austin, Circle C, Sunset Valley, Easton Park, Goodnight Ranch, Buda, Kyle, and the surrounding Hill Country.
Dr. Robus was fantastic! She’s a parent herself and clearly knows how to connect with children, handling everything with grace and patience.
Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist
Meet Dr. Patricia Robus
Dr. Patricia Robus is a pediatric dentist, a mom, and your neighborhood partner in raising cavity-free, confident kids. Her care philosophy is rooted in kindness, prevention, and clear communication—with zero judgment and a whole lot of empathy. Whether your child needs a routine cleaning or more complex care, Dr. Robus meets every family with options, understanding, and a smile.
Education
Dr. Robus earned her dental degree at the University of Washington and then leveled up with hospital dentistry training at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle where she focused on caring for patients with complex medical and special needs. She followed her heart and went on to specialize in pediatric dentistry at Yale. From classroom to clinic, she's trained coast to coast to bring big smiles to little patients.
Favorites
Dr. Robus loves dogs, locally roasted coffee, hiking in hill country, and running around Skyline Park with her kids.
Welcoming Spanish-Speaking Families!
Dr. Robus took her love of learning and helping others abroad—studying Spanish in Nicaragua and Ecuador, then volunteering her dental skills in Guatemala and Mexico. It’s important to Dr. Robus to connect with kids who speak Spanish, so every child feels comfortable, understood, and cared for.
