Dr. Craig Gerken has been specializing in orthodontics since 1997 when he opened his practice in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Dr. Gerken attended the University of Oklahoma and graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry with honors. He then completed his orthodontic residency at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Dr. Gerken is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, Oklahoma Dental Association, American Dental Association, Southwestern Society of Orthodontists, Spear Study Club, the Arbuckle Dental Club, and Ardmore Kiwanis. He is also a member of the First United Methodist Church in Ardmore.
Dr. Gerken was raised in Waurika, Oklahoma, and his wife, Mika (Moore) was raised in Ringling. They knew they wanted to raise their children, MiKaylyn, Gage, and Matlyn in a smaller, active community close to family and friends, and found Ardmore was perfect! Dr. Gerken's hobbies are flying, relaxing at the lake, tending his cattle and spending time with his family!
