Mark - Dentist

Hi, I'm Dr. Riese.  I was born and raised in Merrillville, Indiana.  I attended IU Northwest and Indiana School of Dentistry where I received my DDS degree.  My wife Jennifer and I moved to Monticello (Jennifer's hometown) in 1997 shortly after being married.  I practiced as an associate up to 2006, at which time I purchased the practice.  In the fall of 2011, we moved into our new facility.

​We currently have six children.  Living in Monticello, we have been involved in many activities such as church, school, and our great community.  I enjoy reading mainly Christian non-fiction, pursuing and preserving America's Christian heritage, and just being a Dad.  I'm blessed to be a part of giving and receiving that occurs while caring for others here                                                                                at Declaration Dental.
