Meet Dr. William Blum

I have more than 30 years of experience and expertise in aesthetic implant and general dentistry. I am committed to providing the best possible results to each patient. My education, awards, and honors will give you the assurance that you are in very good hands.

I earned a bachelor’s degree with high honors from East Central University. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in 1983, I spent two years as an associate in Ada with Dr. H. D. Hall, a nationally known implant dentist. This led to starting my own practice in Norman in 1985. I built and moved into the present location in 1990..

Personal

I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife Kathy and I have been married since 1977. Kathy works in the Blum & Tinsley Dental Clinicand is a certified Pilates instructor at Pilates Fitness Center of Norman. We enjoy working together and spending time traveling.

We have a daughter, Katie, who lives in New York City and works for NBC’s Dateline. Katie also is president of the OU Alumni Association of New York City and is the youngest recipient of the University of Oklahoma’s Regents’ Alumni Award.

I have loved watching Katie grow up while spending many years coaching her softball and basketball teams. We still enjoy attending sporting events together, including OU, Thunder, and her New York teams. My past hobbies have included flying as an instrument-rated pilot and scuba. Friday afternoons are reserved for a weekly round of golf. Our family has had many good times around these activities. 

After two postponements of their wedding due to COVID, our daughter Katie and her husband Dan Dempsey had a beautiful wedding near their home in New York.

Our family was blessed with our first grandchild, William Daniel Dempsey, in April 2022.
