New-Patient Experience
“The absolute best dentist. This is my first time here. I was referred by a friend, and I am so glad I was! The staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. The whole time I was getting everything done, they talked through what they needed to do, and I had a very clear understanding based on the information they provided. Scheduling was quick and easy, as well. The staff was prepared when I told them I have bad dentist anxiety, and I haven’t been to the dentist in years! Well, I found my forever dentist, and I would 10/10 recommend!”

“Being new to the Pittsburgh area, my husband and I were looking for a dentist close by. Our realtor recommended Dr. Marion’s office, and I am so thankful she did. Before we entered the office, the receptionist, Kathy, was wonderful to speak with while scheduling our appointment by accommodating our needs and working around our work hours. When arriving at the location, I was greeted with kindness and was very impressed with the cleanliness and beautiful appearance of the office. The dental hygienists were very thorough, patient, and kind while cleaning my teeth. Dr. Marion was also very friendly and thorough. I had such a great experience that I went home and scheduled an appointment for my husband. We are so thankful to have found a dentist office with such a family-oriented feel.”

“Today was my first visit, and there is no doubt that I will go back. As a matter of fact, I have already scheduled my next appointment. The staff is very nice, the technicians are caring and gentle, and Dr. Marion was fantastic. I would highly recommend them to my family and friends.”

“We just moved here from North Carolina and chose Marion Smile Center for our dental work. That turned out to be one of our better decisions. I needed gum treatments and two extractions. I couldn’t be happier with the way the treatment went. The extractions were done so well I needed nothing more than an occasional aspirin for some mild discomfort. I was given written instructions, rinses, and gauze to follow up with. All have worked great. Then, to my surprise, I received follow-up phone calls from my hygienist to ensure all was going well. That call was followed by a call from Dr. Marion to ensure all was well with the extractions. I now understand why the Marion Smile Center receives such high praise: they earned it!”

Emergency Dental Care
“The Marion Smile Center team was very polite, kind, and professional. I am new to the area, and a few weeks ago, I had an intense pain in my mouth. So, I called and asked if I could be seen, and they said they didn’t have any openings for weeks. I explained the amount of pain I was in and explained that I was new to the area. The receptionist spoke to the dentist, who made an emergency exception and saw me the same day. We need more businesses like this, where they actually care. Needless to say, Marion Smile Center is my new dentist. 5/5 Stars!”

~ Alexis Arrigo Baney via Facebook
“I received exceptional customer service! I was using a dentist located closer to my home, but they weren’t doing a very good job. I needed an emergency toothache, and Marion Smile Center fit me in the same day. Everyone there is very friendly and professional. Thank you!”
~ Keith Hipkiss via Google
“Dr. Marion and his staff are professional, and they provide excellent service. They get you in quickly if you have an emergency. They also take the time to make sure you are comfortable and understand every procedure. I couldn’t recommend them any more highly.”

Amazing Staff
“I moved from the UK to western Pennsylvania 7 years ago and avoided dentists until I was recommended to Marion Smile Center by a friend. I couldn’t be happier! They caught things my old dentist in the UK didn’t and helped me navigate the insurance landscape. Their employees are all friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Marion’s work on my teeth has been great, and he provides honest advice about what should or could be done. I never feel like they’re recommending unnecessary services. They answer all my questions and help me understand what is going on and why. I am going to keep coming here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new dentist.”

They really care about your dental health and will make specific suggestions, so you can improve your home care routine. Their hours can accommodate almost any schedule. I look forward to seeing them every 6 months – how often can you say that about dental checkups?”
~ Annette L. via Healthgrades
“Dr. Marion is a great dentist, and we love coming to the office. He treats me, my husband, and our three kids. The Marion Smile Center team is very personable and willing to work around our busy schedules. They have been more than helpful fitting us in for emergency situations. The entire staff is so kind and very thorough in their work. We highly recommend coming to Marion Smile Center! 5-star dentistry!”
~ Paj Elliott Pron via Facebook
“The staff at Marion Smile Center are not only very professional but incredibly kind and caring about their patients. I have nothing but nice things to say about them. From the moment I walked in, it didn’t feel like the stark-and-glum dental offices I’ve been to. The anxiety I usually have before and during dentist appointments went away the moment I was greeted by the friendly staff. Not only was my visit pleasant and easy, but they took the time to message me after my appointment about my son who was going to Children’s Hospital! 5 stars!”

She even wants to be a dentist when she grows up because of how incredible Marion Smile Center is. That is such a huge testament to how awesome this office is. I mean, what 3-year-old three year old wants to be a dentist when they grow up? The office staff is so professional. Everything from scheduling appointments to your actual procedure are top-notch! I highly recommend Marion Smile Center.”

Soothing Environment
“I am new to the area. Choosing a new dentist is always a difficult task. I called Marion Smile Center, and they got me in the next day. The appearance of the building is beautiful; the inside had a very Zen-like feeling. I get very anxious at the dentist but felt calm and relaxed from the minute I walked in. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. Dr. Marion took his time and at no point did I feel I wasn’t his main priority. He was gentle and comforting throughout the procedure. I am very happy I chose Marion Smile Center.”
~ Kelly Izotic via Google
“I started going to Dr. Marion when my dentist closed in the middle of 2020. I am always so nervous before a dentist appointment – but not at Marion Smile Center. From the time you walk in the door to the end of your visit, you are put at ease. Everyone is so kind, knowledgeable, and understanding of dental anxiety. I needed several teeth dealt with and Dr. Marion completed the work and I felt no pain. I highly recommend Dr. Marion and the wonderful people who work at Marion Smile Center.”

He and the staff always keep us informed of the latest advances in dentistry, and which ones would benefit us the most. On the other hand, if we decline, they are never pushy. I am so glad we found them years ago.”

“Wow! I’m so impressed with the entire experience. Everyone is so friendly and professional. The exam was so thorough, including in-depth photographs of problem teeth, a cancer screening, and so much more. Numerous issues were found that my prior dentist missed. I expected the visit to cost a fortune but was pleasantly surprised at the cost. I am extremely happy that I made the switch to Dr. Marion.”
