New And Exciting Things

Smile Easy. Live Happy.

  • Sparkman Orthodontics
  • September 19, 2022

Lots of new and exciting things are happening atSparkman Orthodontics! To give more insight on what our office is all about, we decided to create a blog. Our blog will be updated every 2 weeks so be sure tocheck it out! To start us off, we want to introduce our doctors to you. We asked Dr. Sparkman some questions to help you get to know him better.

1. Where did you grow up?

Pampa, Texas

2. Why did you decide to go into the orthodontic field?

I was exposed to Dentistry through my father.  But I was exposed to orthodontics when I worked for an Orthodontist in
College Station while I was attending Texas A&M University.Ā  I loved connecting with the patients.Ā  I was hooked!

3. Do you have any pets?

The Sparkman house is a zoo!  We have a dachshund named “Hundley” and a golden doodle named “Ivy.”  My wife, Ashley, has
some water frogs.Ā  My 12-year-old son, Cannon, has an Axolotl (a type of Salamander).

In addition, we have five other fish tanks with a variety of fifty other freshwater fish.  If you want to know how to set up a fish tank, just call one of my sons, John Kyle, and Reagan.  They are experts on the whole process!

4. What do you like to do for fun outside of work?

My wife and I have six children.  Most of my time outside of work is spent cheering on “Team Sparkman” in their various
activities! Ā  When we have any ā€œfreeā€ time, we will play golf, fish, or go snow skiing.Ā  If I could do one thing for a day… Ā  I would
snowboard!!

5. What is your favorite movie/TV show?

I am going to go with Maverick!  Easily the best movie I have seen in ten years!  The Office is the best TV show ever made!

6. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Blue Bell “Cookies and Cream” is the best.  However, Braums Strawberry ice cream is particularly good!

7. What kind of music do you listen to?

Morgan Wallen is dominating my playlist right now!!

8. What has been the most rewarding thing of your career so far?

First:  I love serving the community that raised me.  Nostalgia, Connection, Community are all words that define me.

Second:  I love serving patients with Dr. Lyons and Dr. Clifton.Ā  They are two of my best friends and I love working with
them.

Third:  We have the best team anywhere…  They always make me smile!!

9. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?

My dream trip is to cruise the Nile and explore Egypt and  the pyramids… with maybe a side trip to the Holy Land!

10. Tell us a fun fact most people don’t know about you.

During my senior year at Texas A&M, I was elected to serve as a Yell Leader.  Most fun year of my life!!  Gig em!

patient REviews

Our 5-Star Experience

We’re thankful for the opportunity to serve our community by making them smile every day. Hear what our patients are saying about their experience with us!

Holly B.
I took my son to the Pampa office and was pretty impressed by the way the staff treated us, their level of organization, the way work as a team, their knowledge and their cleanliness. I’m am constantly impressed by them each visit. Today I went to the Amarillo office, and it’s way swankier than the Pampa office. I can’t recommend this place enough. This is by far the BEST dental office I’ve ever experienced.
Kim M.
Sparkman is amazing! My son and I both have nothing but positive things about everyone at both Amarillo/Canyon locations! Their set up flows, from check in, treatment, to checkout!
Rachel H.
Amazing staff! Everyone is always friendly and professional and I love that they set you up with the whole plan and payments from the beginning so no surprises. They explain everything before they do it and that helped a lot with my kiddos anxiety too. Love them all! Highly recommend!
Mags A.
Love Sparkman Orthodontics! From the start, they made the process of getting Invisalign for my 11 year old son worry-free. I was concerned about having to work in multiple appointments over the course of the treatment, but fortunately, we are able to do our scans from home! Communication was quick and we've just moved to our last aligner for this phase of treatment and his teeth look great! Highly recommend.
Jacqueline M.
The whole staff is super nice, and they all made my son feel as comfortable as possible. By far this has been the place with most patience for him. They always make sure he knows exactly what to expect.
Suzy Q
Being a busy mom of four children and working full time appointments are hard to make. Sparkman orthodontics offers a scan at home which has been amazing! Super easy process to getting a straight and beautiful smile!!
6NZ_Alexis
amazing service great customer service, in and out quickly 30 mins tops
Marissa B.
Absolutely caring and professional!! Made the braces journey easy and enjoyable! Friendly staff and doctors! Answer all questions and are very knowledgeable!
Breanna M.
Sparkman has seriously been amazing with all four of my kiddos! Everyone is so thorough and friendly! I will always recommend Sparkman!
Michael V.
Very responsive and helpful through the whole process.
Camila
They did a great job on my son, highly recommend!šŸ‘
Debi L.
Love the doctors and staff..Jonathan was amazing today šŸ˜
Sarah N.
5 stars! My daughter just got her braces off after 18ish months and her teeth are absolutely perfect. The doctors and all of the staff are very prompt & kind. Every appointment was quick & painless. I highly recommend Sparkman to anyone looking for help with their smile.
Rachel W.
Sparkman Orthodontics has a very friendly staff and care about their patients. Their doctors are fantastic! I highly recommend them as an orthodontist.
Daniel S.
Dr. Sparkman recommended my 9 year old son to get Invisalign and I was skeptical at first. But it has been great! My son is way more responsible with them than I thought he’d be and we haven’t had to come into the office for broken brackets or other problems you’d have with normal braces. I definitely recommend Dr. Sparkman and his staff for all your braces needs!

While they provide services to improve smiles through braces and aligners, they do not offer typical cosmetic dentistry procedures like veneers or teeth whitening that a general dentist might provide.
What insurance plans does Amarillo Dentist accept?

However, it's best to contact the specific dental office directly to confirm which insurance plans they currently accept, as coverage may vary.
