Summary
William H. Gerlach, DDS
Northwestern University 1980-1983
Baylor College of Dentistry graduate 1987
Dr. Bill Gerlach understood in high school that he wanted a professional career involving science, people and compassion. Dentistry was the perfect fit. His academics led him to study biomedical engineering at Northwestern University from 1980-1983. Taking early acceptance into dental school, he enrolled in one of our country’s top dental schools, Baylor College of Dentistry, where he graduated with his bride, Dr. Lynne Spencer Gerlach, in 1987.
Setting up his practice in Plano in 1987, Dr. Gerlach has pursued clinical advances in quality dentistry from the beginning. He has attended esteemed learning centers such as Spear, Dawson and The Pankey Institute. He completed the Pankey continuum in 2007, and is currently a member of The Spear Institute Faculty Study Club.Â
Dr. Gerlach has served organized dentistry in many capacities. Among these are Founder and Board member …(’98-’07) of the Texas Dental Association Smiles Foundation (President ’06-’07), Dallas County Dental Society Foundation, DCDS Board member (’07-present), Texas Academy of Dental Practice Administration President (’08-’09), Chairman of the Southwest Dental Conference 2010, President of Dallas County Dental Society (2011), and Delegate to the TDA House of Delegates (’05-present).
Dr. Gerlach has been recognized with many honors through the years, including Fellowship in the International College of Dentists, American College of Dentists, and the Academy of Dentistry International. He received The President’s Award from DCDS in 2007, and was Dallas’ nominee for Texas Dentist of the Year in 2007. He has been voted to D Magazine’s Best Dentists in Dallas since 2005, and Texas Monthly’s Super Dentists since 2006.
While all of these awards are humbling, Dr. Gerlach is most proud of his service to the underserved. He was instrumental in initiating the Collin County Children’s Dental Clinic in McKinney in 1989 and the Plano Dental Clinic in 1995. He has served as Chair or co-Chair of the three Texas Missions of Mercy in Dallas, and volunteers with the Smiles Foundation across the state in the TMOM’s and Smiles on Wheels.
