Episode 66: The Dentist Who Conquered Leukemia

From Cory Glenn, himself: "It has been said that if you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.  I can honestly say that I have found this to be true of dentistry.   As a dentist in Winchester TN, I feel blessed to be able to combine my love of science and artistic expression into a career that can change people’s lives by restoring their smiles. 

I was born in Jonesboro, AR where I lived until completing my undergraduate studies in biology and chemistry at Arkansas State University.  I then attended dental school at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.  Following graduation in 2008, I went on to do an additional Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency with a focus on comprehensive care and dental implants.  My love of dentistry and desire to excel in it has led me to become a continual student, taking far above the state required 20 hours of education per year (in 2012, I took over 380 hours). 

I enjoy collaborating with other dentists on various dental topics and I lecture frequently across the world on the topics of CAD/CAM, conebeam technology and guided dental implants, dental photography, digital smile design, complete dentures, and complex full mouth rehabilitation.

I also hold active memberships in the following organizations:

 

  • Middle TN Dental Study Club – past Chairman and past Continuing Education Director
  • American Dental Association
  • Academy of General Dentistry
  • American Academy of Implant Dentistry- Associate Fellow
  • American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
  • Southern TN Christian Medical and Dental Association- current Vice president
  • Franklin County One Day Community Outreach Steering Committee
  • Rotary International
  • Gideons International
  • Franklin County Chamber of Commerce

As much as I love dentistry, the role I’m most proud of is being husband to my beautiful wife Amanda and being Daddy to our 3 precious daughters, Allie, Audrey, and Leah.  Amanda is a dental hygienist and maintains an active role in the management of the practice.

On Dec. 26th of 2015, I got  news that forever changed me.  I was diagnosed with Leukemia.  There's  nothing like thinking you're going to die to make you really understand what's important in life.  For me, that was my faith and my family.  I spent the next 8 months doing chemotherapy fighting cancer.  Thankfully, my treatment was successful and I'm now in complete remission but the experience has given me a renewed and much deeper perspective on life.  

We are members of Winchester First Baptist Church where I enjoy playing guitar and singing in the praise and worship band.  Outside of family and dentistry, I love to spend time outdoors cycling, fishing, hunting, woodworking, and doing photography.
