Get to know Periodontist Dr. Mark E. Glover, who serves patients in Dallas, Texas.

A seasoned periodontist, Dr. Glover works with patients at his private practice in Dallas, Texas.

A native of Texas, he completed his undergraduate education at the Texas A&M University in 1975, and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston in 1978. In 1979, he left his practice of general dentistry and relocated to Seattle, where he completed his residency in periodontics at the University of Washington. 

In 1982, Dr. Glover received a Master of Science in Dentistry degree (MSD) for research in periodontal bone regeneration. He returned to Dallas following graduation where he established his now world-class private periodontal and dental implant practice.

A Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, the doctor has served as President of both the Texas Society of Periodontists and the Southwest Society of Periodontics. He continues to keep abreast of his specialty by attending and hosting seminars. He has published many articles in state, national and international periodontal journals and books.

Periodontics is the dental specialty focusing exclusively on the inflammatory disease that destroys the gums and other supporting structures around the teeth. A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants.

Among his most notable achievements, Dr. Glover was recognized with the Southwest Society of Periodontists' prestigious Fellowship Award. He is only the seventh member to be selected for this honor in the last 50 years.
