Our Team
Our General Dentists:
Clyde E. Spraberry, Jr, D.D.S.
I graduated from Grenada High School and moved on to further my academic career at Mississippi State University. Finding a passion for the dental field, my wife Gina and I moved to Memphis where I attended University of Tennessee School of Dentistry. I graduated in 1965 with the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, and enlisted in the army shortly after. I was quickly deployed to serve in the Vietnam War as an army dentist. After returning from Vietnam, Gina, my 2 sons and I moved to the Gulf Coast and Spraberry Dental Clinic was opened in 1969 in its first location. We are currently in our third, and largest, building to date, yet all three locations have been within one square mile!
I am a member of the American Dental Association and the Mississippi Dental Association. I was a Mississippi State Board Dental Examiner from 1979-1987, where I also served as President. I am married with 3 children, 5 grandchilren, and 1 great-grandchild!
Robert L. Sutton, III, D.M.D.
I attended Gulfport High School before graduating with a Bachelor of Science in 1999 from Mississippi State University. From there, I moved to Jackson, MS and began my journey into the dental field. I received my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2006. That summer, my wife Christie and I moved back home to Gulfport and I joined Spraberry Dental Clinic.
I currently have over 80 hours post-graduate training including implants and cosmetics, am a member of the American Dental Association, Mississippi Dental Association, Windance Country Club, Trinity United Methodist Church, Gulfport Yacht Club and Bayou Bluff Tennis Club, and am a Memorial Hospital staff member. In addition to meeting the dental needs of my patients, I enjoy reaching out to those in our community. I’ve served with Junior Auxiliary of Gulfport to coordinate dental screenings and distribution of dental products in our local school district. I am married with one beautiful daughter.
