Being in love with dentistry her entire life, she decided on a career change in 2000 after moving home from Tennessee. Judith worked for local periodontist, Dr. Mary Linda Sullivan, for 7 years and more recently for Dr. Bennie Goggans for 11 years until his retirement in 2018.
My career in dental assisting spans over 25 years. I have been certified as an expanded function assistant. What I enjoy most about my job is the interaction with my patients. I have been married 30 years and have 2 sons. I enjoy spending time at the beach and lake with my family.
We use the most up to date technology available to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of your teeth.Digital x-rays provide the safest and most convenient method of capturing dental images. They typically require 1/4 the amount of radiation as a film based image. The image is available immediately to view, so no more waiting to see if the image was correctly captured.
In our quest to provide the highest quality and safest methods of diagnosis, we use a digital panorex to provide images of the entire jaw. In most cases, the only way to see impacted teeth or tumors in the jaw is with a panoramic x-ray. By using our digital capabilities, we are able to reduce the amount of radiation needed by 1/2. This is just another way we can provide the most complete and safest treatment possible.
We use the latest, most effective technology to make your treatment as smooth and safe as possible. Root canal therapy involves removing the infected pulp or nerve tissue from the roots of the tooth. We utilize the latest motor driven, heat treated nickel titanium files to safely and effectively remove the pulp tissue. Nickel titanium is very unique in that it is a highly flexible alloy yet is stronger than stainless steel. This allows us to clean bends and curves without damaging the tooth.
Have you ever wondered what the dentist sees? Has your dentist ever told you that your tooth is cracked and needs a crown? We have a great solution to allow you to see exactly what we see. By using our intraoral camera, we can take a picture of your tooth and instantly project it on the television mounted on the wall in each operatory.
At Mark Tickle, DMD, Family, Cosmetic, and Implant Dentistry, we strive to create a comfortable patient experience in every way. From your treatment to the atmosphere of our office, we want you to feel at home while you are with us.
