Get to Know Dr. Clarine Green Hightower

Bowie dentist Dr. Clarine Hightower

Dr. Hightower says that choosing her favorite part of her job is easy—it’s interacting with her patients! She likes seeing the younger ones grow up and talking to her adult patients about not just dentistry, but their lives and passions as well. Each person has an interesting story to tell, and she believes that everyone deserves to have a healthy, beautiful smile as well as relaxing appointments. To learn a little more about Dr. Hightower and her background, read on below.

Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?

Dr. Hightower decided she wanted to be a dentist at 13 years old after her uncle suggested it. Initially, she thought about becoming an astronaut or pediatrician! Her path was set after she learned that her mother, at age 22, had all of her remaining teeth pulled by a dentist in London and replaced with dentures without her knowledge. Dr. Hightower knew that there had to be a better way to practice dentistry, and this brought her to where she is today.

Where Did You Study Dentistry?

Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
