John R. Skoner, DMD, MDS, is a native of the Johnstown region. In 1986, he received a Bachelor of Science degree in biology/chemistry from Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA. Upon completion of his undergraduate degree, he attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, graduating in 1990. He then did a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency, also at the University of Pittsburgh. As there was no endodontist in the Johnstown area at the time, Dr. Skoner decided to specialize in endodontics so that he could offer this specialty training to the Greater Johnstown area. He completed his endodontic residency in 1993, earning a specialty certificate. Additionally, he earned a Master's Degree in Dental Science from the University of Pittsburgh in 1994.
In January of 1994, Dr. Skoner opened his practice in Johnstown. He has been serving the Johnstown area ever since. Wanting to continue his education, Dr. Skoner started the board certification process in 1996. He passed a written examination, a portfolio review of 20 cases he treated in his office, and an oral examination in Chicago to become Board Certified in 1999. He was the 1122nd endodontist to become Board Certified since the American Board of Endodontics was established in 1956.
Along with his private practice, starting in 1996, Dr. Skoner has taught one day per week in the endodontic clinic at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. As a Clinical Assistant Professor, he has assisted in the training of 48 endodontists and many dental students from all over the world. During this time at the dental school, he has also been the author of three clinical articles that have been published in the Journal of Endodontics. He has also made numerous presentations, including ones at the annual meetings of both the American Association of Endodontists and the Ohio Association of Endodontists. Being an educator at the university allows him to interact with other specialties and stay abreast of new developments and technologies in the ever-changing field of endodontics.

I had a root canal and restoration performed by Dr. Skoner on Dec. 23rd. I could not have hoped for a better outcome. The procedure was totally painless and the restoration results excellent. Dr. Skoner and his staff are very courteous and professional. Patient care is their number one priority.
