Meet Dr. Grant Marcantel

The Professional Side

Dr. Grant Marcantel, a Houston, Texas native, developed a keen interest in dentistry at 13. Through high school and beyond, he actively pursued his passion by regularly shadowing a dental mentor, gaining insights from the front desk to the doctor’s office. After high school, Dr. Grant attended Texas A&M University (Gig’em!), earning a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Mays Business School in August 2013. Continuing his journey toward a dental education, Dr. Marcantel attended the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston.

In dental school, Dr. Grant forged a lasting friendship with Dr. Myrick in his first year, and later, he met his now-wife, Dr. Marcantel. Moving to Florida and joining the DFS Dental Family has proven to be an exciting adventure for Dr. Grant, from the joy of less traffic (a relief from Houston commutes) to the beauty of exquisite beaches. Settling into his sunny new environment, he looks forward to bringing exceptional oral healthcare to the community. His love for dentistry and community-minded service make him a valuable addition to the Defuniak Springs Family Dental team.
