Mark T. McGuire, D.D.S., S.C.
I am pleased to offer my God-given talents through the provision of dental services to our patients and derive great satisfaction in helping others.
Education and Continuing Education
My undergraduate degree in biology is from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and my DDS from Loyola University of Chicago. I volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army Dental Corps with the 87th Medical Detachment in Nuremberg, Germany from 1987 to 1990. I later attended a general practice residency at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I participate in many hours of continuing education every year to keep current with optimal delivery of dental care for my patients. I am very interested in providing the safest non-toxic dentistry available for my patients for the enhancement of their general well-being. As my career in dentistry progresses, I realize how important dental issues are for overall health, and I continuously seek to be aware of the impact that dentistry has on the entire body.
As a part of my continuing education, I maintain active memberships in the following professional organizations:
- Academy of General Dentistry (AGD)
- American Dental Association (ADA)
- Wisconsin Dental Association (WDA)
- Holistic Dental Association (HDA)
- Dental Amalgam Mercury Solutions (DAMS)
- American Academy of Craniofacial Pain (AACP): studies of temporomandibular (TMJ) disorders and obstructive sleep apnea
- International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics (ICCMO)
- ICCMO neuromuscular study club
- International Association for Orthodontics(IAO)
- Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry((AOBMD)
- American College of Integrative Medicine and Dentistry (ACIMD), completing studies in naturopathic medicine as applied to dentistry.
- Completion of comprehensive Advanced Restorative Dentistry continuum in gnathology and occlusion through the F.A.C.E. Institute in Burlingame, California: 1998-2000.
I have earned Fellowship status with the Academy of General Dentistry, American Academy of Craniofacial Pain, and the International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics.
In the Practice
Throughout my years of practice, I see continued opportunities in my chosen field as science and technology advance. I find great satisfaction through helping others become free of pain and discomfort while restoring their smiles to their optimal beauty and function. My current areas of interest lie in early interceptive orthodontic treatment for children, relief of craniofacial pain(TMJ), and conservative restorative dentistry. Serving others through the practice of dentistry has been very fulfilling, both personally and professionally, and is my life-long endeavor.
I truly enjoy getting to know our patients and building connections with them. My patients are part of our community, and it is my intention to make sure our practice is a welcoming place where patients can trust in our abilities.
My team is a group of various individuals with unique gifts. They are caring, courteous, and professional people who love to provide gentle care for our patients. Each member of my team takes the time to make each person feel completely at home here, and can often be heard sharing a laugh with our patients!
Family Life
My wife Angela and I have three grown children. Angela holds a B.S. in Dental Hygiene and a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) certification from Loyola University, graduating at the top of her class.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing the guitar, reading, and spending quality time with my family. I am an active member of the Greek Orthodox Church in Racine, Wisconsin.
