Dr. Jason Marks, DDS and Dr. Jennifer Marks, DDS began dating in dental school in 2001. They were married in April of 2005. At the beginning of 2008, they fulfilled their dream of opening their own dental office together. They also had their first child, Marin, a month later. In June 2010, they welcomed their son, Isaac, into the world.
The doctors have been practicing dentistry for nineteen years. After both graduating with honors from the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry in 2003, they underwent an advanced training regimen called a General Practice Residency at the Veterans Administration Hospital in San Francisco. Here they received in-depth training in diagnosis and treatment planning, bridges and dentures, oral surgery, root canals, and implants.
Both doctors are members of the American Dental Association, the North Carolina Dental Society, and the Buncombe County Dental Society. Dr. Jennifer Marks, DDS is also an affiliate member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. They attend continuing education conferences throughout the year to keep them abreast of the ever-changing technologies and clinical techniques in dentistry.
