Mark Bush, DDS
"I always knew I wanted to be a dentist, following the same path as my father, who practiced here in Kearney for more than 35 years. Dentistry, for me, is about helping others."
Why dentistry
Each procedure is a chance to touch a person's life. Whether relieving someone's pain, improving function or completing an Invisalign case, Dr. Mark is helping someone to smile, and he loves that.
Kim and Mark have practiced together since 1986. He has loved every day of building the practice, and most of all appreciates the trust the patient family has placed in them.
Education
- Undergraduate: Kearney State College
- Doctor of Dental Surgery: University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry
He takes continuing education throughout the year: Invisalign clear aligner therapy, CEREC one-day restorations, the Pankey Institute curriculum, and courses through Spear Education and The Dawson Academy. He is a former member of the Seattle Study Club.
Beyond the practice
Dr. Mark grew up in Kearney, and he and Kim have lived here since 1991, raising their children and now their grandchildren in the community. He enjoys the outdoors, travel, working out, hunting and fishing.
Mark and Kim undertake mission work as often as they can, offering dental care in parts of Africa, Romania, Brazil and Guatemala. He has served on the Kearney YMCA board for more than 18 years, led Bible studies, headed up Operation Candy Buy Back for troops overseas for many years and coached many youth sports.
