Dr. Mark Covington

The stretch of Tate Boulevard in Hickory blends quiet professional suites with the occasional bustle of retail—one of those unassuming corridors where dental practices sit alongside hardware stores and quick-service cafés. Dr. Mark Covington’s office occupies suite 178, a standard unit in the 915 building, neither flashy nor hidden. Dentistry here covers the expected: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and the occasional bridgework or extraction. No specialty ads clutter the listing, just the core work of maintaining teeth and addressing problems as they arise.

Directions are straightforward if you’re familiar with Hickory’s southeast quadrant—the address, 915 Tate Blvd SE #178, places it near the intersection with 29th Avenue Drive SE, a few miles from the Catawba Valley Medical Center. For first visits or routine checkups, the practice lists a direct line: (828) 322-4258. The map pin confirms what locals already know—this part of Tate Boulevard moves at the speed of errands, not tourist stops.
