Dr. Justin Mack
Education & Credentials
Dr. Justin Kendall Mack, affectionately known as ‘Dr. Jay’, was born and raised a native Tennessean in the home of the world’s best BBQ, Memphis, TN. His curiosity for the dental field began early on in life, following childhood experiences at the dentist where he was informed that he had a misaligned jaw that would only worsen with age. His first opportunity to truly foster that curiosity occurred during his years studying at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, a period that further affirmed his desire to pursue dentistry. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree, Dr. Mack’s curiosity eventually led him to Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.
Following, Dr. Mack completed three rigorous years of advanced training in modern orthodontic techniques at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, where he earned a Master of Science in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, and was the recipient of Maryland’s Most Valuable Resident Award and the William S. Kress Research Award in recognition of having the most outstanding research paper for the Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists (MASO) region. While training at Maryland, Dr. Mack underwent orthodontic treatment and jaw reconstruction to correct the misaligned jaw he developed as a child, a moment that served as an affirming nod to the curiosity that he possessed at an early age.
