Best Dentist Award Texoma

Mark Smith, DDS, has been named Best Dentist in the 2010

Best of TexomaTM magazine.

Dr. Smith’s practice is conveniently located at 2011 W. Lamberth Road

in Sherman, and he has been at that location since 1994. His staff

includes Dr. Tom Bell, two fulltime hygienists, two chair side assistants

and an office manager. “Our goal and policy is to treat our patients

as we would treat our families,” Dr. Smith said, noting that his family

had been in the dentistry practice for over 40 years. “We offer high-quality,

friendly service in a gentle, caring atmosphere. Our patients are the

heart of our practice, and they’re the reason we’re here. At all times,

our patients will be treated with respect, dignity and compassion.

Being of service to our patients is the definition of our

purpose and the mission of our practice.”

Dr. Smith explained that it has always been his desire to provide

the most technologically advanced practice in Texomaland, while

maintaining a caring, family atmosphere. He said that he and

his staff strive everyday to set and maintain a schedule of appointments

that is on time, and waits of more than 15 minutes for a scheduled

appointment are rare.

“My father started Texoma Dental Lab in the mid-1960s, and I

grew up around it,” he said. “I decided to pursue a career as a

dentist early on.” After graduating from Sherman High School in

1979, he attended Baylor College of Dentistry, and noted that in

his 15 years of practice, he’s seen advances in his field that include

computerized charting, digital radiography, paperless charts and

the use of lasers.

Dr. Smith and his wife, Josie, have four sons between the ages

of 13 and 23, and he enjoys fishing and hunting with them, plus

actively following their athletic achievements at school. He is an

active member of Legacy Bible Church.
