Glenn Ashmore, born and raised in Oklahoma City, left home to attend college and then completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from Baylor College of Dentistry (’75). Following graduation, Dr. Glenn completed two years in the Navy before returning home to Oklahoma, where he opened his first dental practice in 1978.
Dr. Glenn practiced dentistry at the corner of NW 23rd Street and N Drexel Blvd for more than 20 years before deciding to open a second location. Tragedy struck when a fire burned down the original office, however, Dr. Glenn rebuilt a new office over the ashes, and Dental Depot rose like a phoenix. Over the next 20 years, Dr. Glenn continued to grow his practices, mentoring new doctors and opening new locations.
Today, Dr. Glenn continues to see patients, in addition to serving as Dental Depot’s Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Glenn is very active and proud to say that he can still water ski!
