Dr. Maron'spassion for dentistry and commitment to excellence are well-known to both patients and colleagues in the community. He considers his staff and patients to be an extended famly. New patients are amazed at the warmth and caring shown to them by the staff and doctor. When Dr. Maron calls patients to see how they are doing after a difficult procedure, they commonly remark that no doctor has ever called them at night or on a weekend to check on them.
Dr. Maron also believes that giving patients adequate time is very important. Some people hate going to the dentist. Just sitting in a dental chair is traumatic for many of them. Dr. Maron is very patient and understanding of the needs of these patients. Years later they remind him of how fearful they once were in being treated in the dental office and how comfortable they are now in coming.
Dr. Maron has practiced general dentistry in his current Poughkeepsie, New York location for more than 40 years. He has completed advanced training in all aspects of dental treatment, including Invisalignorthodontics (he is a Silver Provider), Bioclear technique for placing plastic fillings, dental sleep medicine, and mini implants.
Dr. Maron is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, which is the highest credential a dentist can achieve in sleep medicine. He is also a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry, one of only three practicing dentists in Dutchess County to achieve this level. Dr. Maron has taught dental residentsat MontefioreHospital and published dental articles.

Our new associate, Dr. Ariana, as she likes to be called, popped into our office seven years ago to shadow Dr. Maron. We waited for her to get into dental school and finish her training so that she could join our practice. We are so happy that she did.
After graduating from Temple, Dr. Ariana went on to complete a General Practice Residency at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Centera Level 1 Trauma Center in Hartford, Connecticut. There she provided comprehensive dental treatment to a diverse patient population, emergency treatment to trauma patients, and dental rehabilitation to patients under general anesthesia in the Operating Room. She was honored with the 'Reiger Award'presented to the dental resident with outstanding clinical performance who embodied the art of and dedication to dentistry.
