The Florida Board of Dentistry is responsible for regulating dental and dental hygiene licenses and ensuring the safe practice of dentists and dental hygienists in the state. In addition, the board enforces laws and establishes rules to ensure practitioners meet the qualifications for licensure and maintain safe care delivery. The board consists of eleven members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate.

“The Florida Board of Dentistry helps ensure patient safety and a higher standard of patient care, and I’m truly honored to be a part of that,” said Dr. Marshall.

Dr. Marshall is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with Gulf Coast Facial & Oral Surgery, a full scope oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practice serving patients along the Emerald Coast. Dr. Marshall treats patients at the Fort Walton Beach office and is actively involved in his local community and throughout the OMS specialty.

Raised in Fort Walton Beach, Dr. Marshall graduated from Choctawhatchee High School and earned his bachelor’s degree from Florida State University and both his DDS and his MD from the University of Florida. He completed a general surgery internship and his OMS residency through the University of Florida Health Shands Hospital. In addition, he completed a fellowship in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

Dr. Marshall is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, the highest credential that can be obtained in the specialty, according to the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He is a board member and former president of the Florida Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. In addition, he is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the Okaloosa-Walton Dental Study Club.

He is a sought-after speaker, having presented both nationally and internationally on OMS topics such as craniofacial reconstruction, facial cosmetic surgery, trauma and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery. His clinical interests include facial cosmetic surgery, dental implants and maxillofacial surgery and reconstruction.
