Dr. Mark A. Marion and the team at Marion Smile Center continue to win the area’s 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 America’s Best Dentists as well as a Top Dentist in Zelienople by the International Association of Dentists.
“I’ve been practicing in Zelienople since graduating from dental school. This is my home and my patients are my neighbors and friends. Being part of this community, I feel it’s important to do good for this community. Since 2016, our team has raised more than $80,000 to benefit local organizations, such as the Zelienople / Harmony fire department, food bank, library, and park and pool. Each year from March 1 through June 30, we donate 100% of the proceeds from all teeth whitening done at our office during our WHITEN FOR CHARITY campaign.”
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 Zelienople’s 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.
