Shawn P Rusk DDS

Our History

For generations, the Rusk family has been deeply committed to serving the dental needs of the Selma community. Founded in 1967 by Dr. Glenn Rusk, the practice has become a trusted source for quality dental care, built on a foundation of compassion, expertise, and personalized attention. Dr. Glenn's dedication to his patients and his passion for dentistry have made a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals. Along the way, his son, Dr. Shawn Rusk, was inspired to follow in his father's footsteps, earning his dental degree from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry and joining the practice in 2001. By 2007, Dr. Shawn stepped into the role of practice owner, allowing Dr. Glenn to focus solely on providing exceptional patient care.

The legacy of the Rusk family dental practice continues today with a shared commitment to excellence. Our father-son team works side-by-side, offering a unique blend of experience and modern dental techniques.
