Janet Glenn, DDS, MAGD

A native Texan and lifelong Irving resident, Dr. Glenn received her undergraduate degree in Chemistry at the University of Texas at Arlington in 1981. She then graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1985, with honor society membership in Omicron Kappa Upsilon. By accumulating over 500 hours in continuing education and passing an examination, she was awarded Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry in 2000. After completing 1100 education hours, she received a Mastership from the Academy of General Dentistry in July 2004, an honor which fewer than 1% of dentists have received. This makes Dr. Glenn one of the premier dentists in the Dallas Fort Worth area and one of an even smaller group of women in dentistry to achieve this level of expertise. This is important for patients who prefer a female dentist. She’s also a member of American Dental Association, Dallas County Dental Society (served on peer review committee), Irving Dental Study Club (past Secretary/ Treasurer), and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Glenn’s latest continuing education classes include an aesthetic continuum at UCLA and a year-long course in Implant Dentistry.

Outside dentistry, Dr. Glenn is active in church and in her spare time you will find her reading, scuba diving, running, and playing with her grandson.

The pursuit of this level of higher education is voluntary. Dr. Harless believes it is important to stay well-educated in order to provide the finest care for her patients. Dr. Harless received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Marquette University in Wisconsin, where she was on the Dean’s list and participated in a program teaching dental lab skills to prospective dental students.
