Sumter SC Periodontist
Meet Dr. Wallace
Dr. Marshall L. Wallace, DMD, MHS is a premier Sumter periodontist specializing in dental implant dentistry and interdisciplinary care. As a periodontist, Dr. Wallace is a recognized expert on preventing, diagnosing, and treating periodontal disease and placement of dental implants.
Dr. Wallace and his entire staff made my experience absolutely wonderful. They are kind and gentle and made me feel so comfortable while I was there. I traveled for 2 hours (each way) to see him several times as I heard he was the best, and I have to say that I have no doubt that he is. The drive was well worth it.
