Dr. Mark A. Marion and the team at Marion Smile Center continue to win the areas most prestigious dental awards. Dr. Marion was selected by his peers, other dentists, and specialists as a Top Dentist by Pittsburgh Magazine every year since 2011. Pittsburgh Magazine also selected Dr. Marion as one of 8 Top Cosmetic Dentists. Cranberry Eagle selected him as Top Dentist in 2021. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review selected Marion Smile Center as a bronze winner for best dental office in the North Hills area. Dr. Marion was also voted as one of Americas Best Dentists as well as a Top Dentist in Zelienople by the International Association of Dentists.
Dentistry was his destiny. As a third-generation dentist, Dr. Marion earned his dental degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine just like his predecessors. After graduation, he trained under his father for four years while he was starting Marion Smile Center.
Like my father before me, I became a dentist to help keep Zelienoples families smiling for generations. In keeping with that tradition, I have built a new, modern practice that is dedicated to bringing the latest innovations in dental care to each and every member of your family.
As part of my professional obligation to my patients, I maintain a thorough awareness of all the latest developments in cosmetic and restorative dentistry. My active memberships in professional organizations play a key role, because, through them, I meet regularly with other dentists and share advancements that will give you a healthier, more beautiful smile.
Dr. Marion continued his dental education by completing hundreds of hours of continuing education. He is one of only 5% of dentists in the USA with the esteemed designation of Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. Achieving Lifetime Qualification into the Crown Council organization is one of his proudest achievements. Crown Council dentists must meet arduous standards for five (5) consecutive years in order to be included among the Top Dental Practices in the country.
When he is not creating beautiful smiles, Dr. Marion is an avid golfer, and enjoys all sports and spending time with his wife, Kimberly. They have 2 children, Mason and Morgan. Morgan, also a dentist, is currently in an orthodontic residency.
Our expanded function dental assistants have advanced training, annual continuing education requirements, and experience not all dental assistants have earned this certification, licensure, and distinction making our team one of the most highly qualified in the region.
For example, when Dr. Marion wanted to implement digital impressions versus old-fashioned, messy, uncomfortable, gooey impressions, it was his EFDAs who took the lead. They researched digital impression scanners, demod the top scanners with manufacturer representatives, and selected one of the top-ranked scanners in the industry and they did not stop there. They used their downtime during the COVID-19 pandemic to have the scanner installed, receive training, and practice on one another. They are professionals who are passionate about what they do, and it shows.
Marion Smile Center partners with the local charity and together they both reach out to the people in the community to inform them how they can whiten their teeth at Marion Smile Center, creating a more beautiful smile, AND help the charity. Each year from March 1 through June 30, we donate 100% of the proceeds from the donations that we receive during our WHITEN FOR CHARITY campaign. During this four-month campaign, patients whiten their teeth at our office. We donate our time and office. Opalescence, a global leader in professional teeth whitening, donates the product.
100% of our regular whitening fees are paid for by our patients directly to the Smiles for Life Foundation, a charity for underprivileged children. At the end of the four-month campaign period, the Smiles for Life Foundation tabulates the Marion Smile Center donations and sends one check to us to present to the local charity.

I love this office! I was recommended by a friend who had mentioned how gentle and caring this dentist was and he truly is attentive to your level of comfort. The assistants are all very nice and extremely mindful of their work. There can be so much anxiety surrounding dental care and they really do their best to reduce that issue. They are also very accommodating to medical conditions. Also Kathy is such an amazing person, she is such a delight and to have such a warm greeting when attending appointments makes you feel like you are genuinely cared for and not just another patient.

Routine periodontal maintenance cleaning with Mary. I literally cannot say enough positive things about the kindness, professionalism and overall care I receive each time I come here. The staff is outstanding and of course Dr Marion is the absolute best. I have been coming here over 25 years and have always felt well taken care of. Crowns, root canals, and fillings have been done over the years and highly satisfied with my care.

I've been going to Dr. Marion for over twenty years. I can honestly say that he's never hurt me, even doing some difficult root canals. He's the best! And, you'll not find a more professional and courteous staff anywhere.

I had been a patient at my previous dentist for 20 years and reluctant to leave, but I'm so glad I did. I have nothing negative to say about Dr. Marian and staff. Only good things. The office is beautiful, the staff friendly and professional. Dr. Marian is kind and very knowledgeable. I'm so glad I made the switch.

As the visit to dentist in general gives me high anxiety and my teeth are my biggest insecurity...... Dr.Marion and his team knock it out of the park! Everyone is so sweet and take their time to make sure you feel comfortable and at ease. Any concerns you may have they are more than welcome to go over it with you. Dr Marion and his team throughly explain everything and perform the services beyond efficiently. 100/10 will always recommend! I appreciate the whole environment and team!

Dr. Marion is one of the best dentists I have ever gone too. They squeezed me in when one of my molars broke. He put a new crown on for me. I was so pleased with how comfortable I felt with him and his staff. Then I went back for a cleaning. They all took their time with me. They were very thorough and caring. Letting me know step by step what they were doing. I even got a personal call from Dr. Marion himself to make sure everything was okay. I will continue to go to him.

I have been terrified to go to the dentist since I was a child. I had let my teeth get into a very bad state . I decided I could not let things get worse because i had seeral missing teeth and cavities in most remaining teeth. Last night i began the process of getting everything taken care of. Having 1 very bad tooth removed and my 1st two cavities filled. The experience was nothing like what i was used to. The staff was extremely friendly and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I had absolute minimal pain. If I had experience like this as a child my teeth would habe been in so much better shape. I highly recommend Dr. Marion especially if you have dental anxiety like I dd.
