TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas

Dr. Mark McLaren, DDS, DABCP, DABDSM

Dr. McLaren is an Emporia State University graduate who went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Oklahoma University College of Dentistry in 2015. He joined TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas in an associate position in 2018 and has been the owner since the beginning of 2022. His commitment to sustaining the excellent patient care standards established by Dr. Baba shows in the hundreds of hours of continuing education acquired in his time here. Upon arrival, Dr. Baba challenged Dr. McLaren to not only be a great student, but to transition from pupil to teacher as his skill and knowledge grew. Dr. McLaren has largely accomplished this, bringing a number of new and exciting treatment techniques and technologies to the practice in recent years. Diplomate status with the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine was earned by Dr. McLaren in 2020 and with the American Board of Craniofacial Pain in 2023.

“It has been eye-opening to realize, through multiple conversations with doctors from across the country and even around the globe, that Dr. Baba has built a world-class clinic here in the middle of Kansas. I feel a very strong respect for what has been done here at TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas, and an even stronger responsibility to continue to be at the forefront of patient care. I am passionate about maintaining a growth mindset that will allow us the best opportunity to provide great outcomes for our patients. I am no longer at the beginning of this journey, but I am still as excited as ever about where it may lead.”
