After completing a Bachelor of Arts in Management and Finance from Florida Atlantic University, Dr. Tyler Markus decided to pursue another passion—dentistry. He received a B.S. in biology, Dental School Education from Midwestern University, and is thoroughly enjoying his career as a general dentist.
Dentistry was a large part of his life, as he was first inspired by a family friend who is a dentist. Then, while he was working on his finance degree, his sister became a dental hygienist, and her love for the profession piqued Dr. Markus’s interest.
Dr. Markus started down the path of dentistry for his love of helping others. He believes that dentistry involves problem solving and thinking outside the box, and coupled with his love of building things, dentistry was the perfect place to combine all his passions.
Dr. Markus is an Invisalign certified dentist and can ensure patients get the results they expect when straightening their smile. As part of his commitment to providing the most advanced dental care, Dr. Markus believes in continuing education and plans to further his training as much as possible, especially in restorative dentistry. He also enjoys placing dental implants and performing oral surgery.
At Downtown Tinley Dental, Dr. Markus and his team strive to provide a nonjudgemental, fun, and comfortable environment in which patients can make their best dental decisions. Dr. Markus is also passionate about helping his patients overcome dental anxiety. Getting to know each individual and empowering them with knowledge and support are just a few of the ways Dr. Markus does this.
Outside the office, Dr. Markus loves spending time with his family and friends, traveling, tinkering around the house, and enjoying music and concerts.
