Have you ever visited a business where you felt rushed through your purchase and unheard? Maybe it was a retail counter where the cashier was already looking past you to the next customer, or a service call where your questions got a quick, canned answer instead of a real one. It's an all-too-common experience where you walk away feeling more like a transaction than a person.
Dental visits can feel the same way if you're not careful. A rushed appointment where your questions are brushed aside, your concerns go unaddressed, or you're shuffled through without ever really being heard. That's not the kind of care anyone deserves, especially when it comes to something as personal as your health. Unfortunately, this experience is all too common when you visit a "big box" or corporate-owned dental chain.
For nearly 50 years, Justison and Gladnick Family Dentistry has been the trusted family dentist for busy families in Wilmington, DE. Our approach has always stayed the same: To deliver comprehensive, high-quality dentistry in one convenient location, delivered with a patient-centered touch.
What Does It Mean to Be a Doctor-Owned Dental Practice?
Dr. Mark Gladnick created the mission for our dental practice many years ago. It was to provide patients with a friendly, welcoming, family-centered environment where they could receive exceptional dental care each time they visited. This included ensuring that children have a positive experience at the dentist and that they build a trusting, friendly relationship with our team, setting them up for successful visits in the future.
Over the years, Dr. Gladnick added hand-selected members to his team who shared his same values and goals for his patients, creating a dedicated team of professionals who genuinely care for the patients they treat. We believe this level of care is more personalized and higher-quality than what you might receive at a corporate dental practice focused on numbers and production.
Justison and Gladnick: Proud Members of the Independent Dental Society
Drs. Gladnick and Justison are proud members of the Independent Dental Society. Created in 2024, the Independent Dental Society aims to promote the benefits of non-corporate-owned dental practices to the Delaware community. Since our team has served Wilmington and its surrounding communities for nearly 50 years, the values and mission of the Independent Dental Society were a natural fit.
What Membership Means for Our Patients
As your trusted dentist in Wilmington, DE, our team has followed these consistent principles and values for decades, which align with those of the Independent Dental Society.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Dentistry is not one-size-fits-all, and we've never approached it in this way.
Instead, we take a more personalized approach. We spend time getting to know each patient and building a trusting relationship. We've built relationships over generations, and we now see many of our patients' children and grandchildren.
Your dental treatment needs are as unique as you are. Our dentists don't just recommend treatment based on your needs; they also consider your lifestyle, smile goals, and budget. We also focus on educating patients about their treatment needs so they can make the best choices for their smiles.
Consistent, Familiar Care
With so many years of being established in the community, you'll always see a familiar face at Justison and Gladnick Family Dentistry. It also helps to reduce fear and anxiety when you have a familiar team to work with.
Our dentists combine their experience, skills, and expertise to provide a wide range of services for our patients. This way, you'll always feel comfortable working with the team you know and trust, even if your procedure or treatment plan is complicated.
Deep Roots in the Wilmington Community
With both of our dentists having deep roots in the Wilmington and Pine Creek areas, our connection to this community runs deep. Our team comprises dedicated members of the community who genuinely love what they do, and it shows.
