I am a life long resident of the Akron area. I graduated from St. Vincent high school, the University of Akron and Case Western Reserve University Dental School. I am proud to serve patients in our community. The combination of continuing education and state-of-the-art equipment allows us to offer you and your family the high level of care you're looking for. My team and I will give you a warm welcome and our ongoing commitment to your dental health.
I love creating new smiles. I enjoy 'waxing up' a new patient 's smile myself for their approval before the final lab work is done. This way, our patient 's get the smile they deserve. A new smile can often transform a person. We end your experience whith a complimentary professional portrait session at my photography studio. Patients who have not smiled in years often find it liberating to dress up and finally show off their new smile. This is my way of showing that I care and that I love what I do.
I believe no patient should be deprived treatment due to fear. I understand. I used to be that way! I want you to know that you have options for your care. If you have been written off as hopeless or labeled as untreatabe due to anxiety or other medical complications, you no longer have to settle for compromised care. You can have your routine dental work done while you are sedated. I have been providing sedation dentistry for 25 years.
In 2014 I had attended over 300 hours of continuing education in implant dentistry. We finished off the year in the Dominican Republic performing sinus bone grafting procedures so that the patients could have dental implants.
I was recentlly invited to a TV interview at The Hard Rock Cafe in New York's Times Square with other experts in their field. I also attended the Global Economic Initiative in NY which helps to build schools for better education in impoverished areas worlwide.

News article...There are bacteria associated with gingivitis and periodontal disease. Some of these bacteria are transmissable and tissue invasive. These bacteria cause local and systemic inflammation as well. The Oral - Systemic Inflammatory link can be an added risk factor in some diseases. For instance, Cardiovascular Disease has a strong inflammatory component to it's development and progression. Periodontal Diseases is independently associated with Cardiovascular Disease due to it's systemic inflammatory effect as well.
Chronic and elevated inflammation increase the risk for periodontitis and contributes to the risk of heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and even the initiation and progression of cancer. There is a test to identify patients at risk. It is a simple swish and gargle procedure and the solution is sent to a lab for processing.
So, you can reduce one of the independent risk factors of cardiovascular disease and other systemic disease by maintaining optimal oral health. Brush and floss properly every day and use an antimicrobial mouthwash. See your dentist and dental hygienist for your supportive dental care visits.
We have been providing IV Sedation dental services for 25 years. Most general dentistry procedures can be accomplished while you are sedated. Some of the reasons our patients choose to be sedated are due to:
I have co-authored a book which is a great educational tool for you if you are planning on having any extensive dental care done. I explain how you can benefit from IV Sedation and how important your dental care is in relation to your overalll health. The book can be purchased at Amazon.com..
News article...I attended The Global Economic Initiative in New York City. One of the projects this group accomplishes is to build schools for better education in impoverished areas worlwide. They have made several award winning documentaries. The earnings from these documentaries helps to build these schools.
News article...Optimal Oral Health is important to your Heart. Did you know that oral health effects systemic health and systemic health effects heart health? You can reduce your risk of heart disease with optimal oral health and excellent oral hygiene practices. It is not just about your teeth!
Your nutrtion is also important to your overall health. These are some of the most nutrient dense foods you can eat: Kale, Collard Greens, Spinach, Romaine, Cabbage, Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, Green Peas, Asparagus, Mushrooms, Caulifower, Tomatoes, Raw Carrots, all Berries, Oranges, Apples, Grapes, Bananas, Beans, Raw Nuts and Seeds. Try mixing some of your favorites in a high powered blender for a nutritious drink.
1 cup pomegranate juice, 1 cup water, 1 kale leaf, 1 collard green leaf, 1/2 cup of strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup peaches, 1 banana, 2 tbsp ground flax seed. (You can substitute almond milk for the water and you can use frozen fruit instead for a smoothie.) Enjoy!!

I was a satisfied patient of Dr. Marcius for over a decade. I am not leaving a bad rating because of the treatment I've received, but because of the receptionist Nancy. I received a call in regards to my last appointment which was scheduled the same day. Unfortunately, I forgot and told Nancy that I would not be able to make it. Mind you, the last time that happened was several years prior. I asked why there was no reminder call prior like before. Nancy became extremely irate and told me in a raised voice that "people need to be adult about it!" I told Nancy that after all of the time and money I've spent not to talk to me that way. I did send an email to Dr. Marcius shortly thereafter which was never responded to. It is really sad that you are willing to lose a patient over this. Before you defend Nancy, remember that you do not know everything that goes on while you are working. Remember all of the things you found out about E. spewing their political madness to patients before they left? On a sidenote, I have witnessed Nancy yelling at your sweet pups while you are working.

Was a very happy patient for years until I was verbally abused by two staff members for declining a gum surgery with sedation. The next day, I found out I could get an identical surgery done at a gum specialist via laser. (Laser benefits: no sedation, less time, less pain, and lower price) Due to this experience, I will never return to this practice. A patient should have full autonomy without being bullied, and all treatment options should be explained, not just what the dentist's preference is or what would bring in the most revenue.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Marcius, who is by far one of the best dentists out there. I first met him through my girlfriend, who has been going to his office since she was a kid. She has the most gorgeous teeth I've ever seen, and she credits Dr. Marcius for her beautiful smile. Plus he's just a great guy. You're the best, Dr. Joe!!!

Jackie and I have been going to Dr. Marius for over 30 years. The staff has made it so easy for us both to face our fears and get our dental health in check. From heating blankets to taps on the shoulder we feel at ease. Friendly and professional office environment too! We highly recommend them and look forward to our next visit. Thanks to Nancy and Crystal for making it fun and not so scary!

I've worked with Dr. Marcius and his wonderful staff for over 30 years, as one of his dental technicians. His level of care and concern for his patients is very evident in every crown preparation we receive. If you want to know how good a dentist is, ask his lab tech, we know the good ones. We see the function and form others do not and Dr. Marcius is "the cream of the crop!"

Ive been with Dr Marcius for 11 years. When I found him I was looking for a dentist to sedate me and fix my teeth. I am usually brave, but not when it came to going to yhe dentist. He and his staff helped me so much. My mouth is healthy and I no longer have fear of going to dentist. He is an amazing human being, with a quiet and gentle way of wirking with his patients.

I came to Dr. Marcius with genuine fear of dentists. No dentist could work on my teeth because of the fear of sound and the noises and smells and the memories from going to the dentist as a child. When I met Dr. Marcius and his team, I was instantly put at ease. Just knowing that his team has been with him for several years put me at ease, but my fears were also concerning to him. He made certain that I was comfortable for all of my procedures. Made sure that I was not in pain at all, he made sure that all of my concerns were met before my procedures and I had no worries. I will never ever go to another dentist. When I come to the office, I'm greeted by staff and the family pets!! To me, there is nothing better!! Dr. Marcius knows my fears and he cares, as does his staff!! Nancy in the office is always willing to handle any issue I throw her way and Crystal is right by Dr. Marcius's side to make sure the patients are comfortable and put at ease. I never thought I could go to the dentist and not be scared or at least just go to the dentist for a cleaning and know that I'd be okay...Thank you to Dr. Marcius and to the whole staff including Mya and Laya as well!!!

So after years of avoiding the dentist due to extreme anxiety, the day finally came where i could no longer avoid facing the dentist due to a toothache, so I called this office on a Monday, got an appointment later in the day, and was able to have the tooth removed the next day. Although I wouldn't say I enjoyed it necessarily, dr. Joe, Nancy, and Crystal were all so kind, compassionate, and accommodating that I was extraordinarily able to be at ease throughout the process. The nitrous oxide did help with that too as well, im sure. Everything from the comfy chairs in the lobby, to the sweet therapy dog in the reception area, to Dr. Joe's explanations off all the aspects of my procedure helped me through the experience. I never thought I would have a good thing to say about a dentist but here we are, so truly give them a call if you need a new dentist. Thanks so much for making my mouth feel better :-)
