Mark A. Ligocki, D.D.S.
Founder, Dentist, and CEO

My mission is to provide the finest dental care possible. I am committed to providing a lifetime of optimum oral health care to my patients and strive to foster patient relationships based on mutual trust, excellent customer service, and the best patient care available. Patients will be at ease knowing that their care will be administered with a sense of caring, comfort, and kindness and that I will not rest until they are satisfied with their smile. Your smile is my signature.
