About This Provider

Dr. Mark Lingen holds both a DDS and a PhD, placing him among a select group of clinicians who combine clinical dental training with doctoral-level scientific expertise in pathology. He specializes in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, a discipline focused on diagnosing diseases of the mouth, jaws, salivary glands, and surrounding head and neck structures. Dr. Lingen practices in the Chicago area, serving patients referred from across the region. His expertise has earned him invitations to speak at specialty medical conferences, including the Gordon M. Rick Oral Cancer Lectureship in 2019, and courses dedicated to Oral, Maxillofacial and Head and Neck Pathology. These speaking roles reflect recognition by peers in a highly specialized field where diagnostic accuracy directly shapes treatment decisions. For patients facing an unexplained oral lesion, a persistent tissue change, or a biopsy referral, Dr. Lingen's dual credential, combining clinical training with research-level pathology knowledge, provides a level of diagnostic rigor that most dental and specialty practices cannot match.
