A husband and wife team committed to excellence, Dr. Eric J. Marsh and Dr. Michele A. Pisano-Marsh pride themselves on high-quality work and unparalleled service. We strive to give you the best treatment that Modern dentistry has to offer that is consistent with your needs and desires for function and esthetics. Providing dentistry that is dependable, reputable and efficient, we stand behind our work — and most importantly — we are honest. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with your family based on mutual trust and respect, and we cannot wait to be your oral health care provider for life.
Preventive dentistry is the backbone of our practice. Our bi-annual checkup appointments focus not only on ensuring your smile is sparkling clean, but also keeping it whole and healthy. Our thorough checkups detect small issues and correct them before they become costly and cumbersome. If we do find a problem, Dr. Marsh and Dr. Pisano-Marsh are specially trained in a variety of restorative procedures focused on preserving natural form and restoring function.
Our primary goal when preforming restorative dentistry is to prevent the need for extractions and tooth replacements. If we can offer a tooth-colored filling or crown to fix a cracked or damaged tooth — those are our first options. When dental damage is beyond repair, other treatments must be considered. Both our doctors are well-versed in several replacement options, from fixed bridges to dentures, and even restoring dental implants. Contact our practice today to learn more and discuss your options.
Cosmetic dentistry is an investment in you. Your smile. Your life. Not everyone is a candidate for cosmetic treatments, and not everyone wants or needs them. However, if you are self-conscious about certain aspects of your teeth and would like to change your appearance dramatically — Dr. Marsh and Dr. Pisano-Marsh can help. Sometimes all it takes is a simple whitening to attain the results you desire — other times, porcelain veneers or direct bonding may offer the transformative results you are looking for.
Dental implants are a fantastic option when replacing as few as one tooth or as many as both arches. As opposed to traditional replacement options, such as crowns, bridges and dentures — dental implants are a lifelike alternative that can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. Because implants replace both the roots and crowns of missing teeth, the end result is much more stable than other treatments — offering patients better comfort and higher quality.
Our team truly sets us apart. Our goal is to be your family’s dentists for life, and we collectively work together to provide patients incredible quality and service. We are very conscious of your time, and as such, we always strive to be on time. When you enter our practice, you will always be welcomed with a warm smile and positive attitude — and the same happens up to the moment you leave.
Dr. Marsh spends a lot of time with the men’s group at his local church, in addition to coaching a youth baseball team since 2001. Starting in 1992, he has been actively involved with the General Practice Residency (GPR) program at Lehigh Valley Hospital, volunteering twice a month to help residents as they treat clinic patients. Dr. Pisano-Marsh has been the hospital’s GPR Program Co-Director since 2010. They both volunteer with Mission of Mercy of Pennsylvania to provide free dental care to underprivileged families.
We’re always happy to answer any questions that our patients have regarding our office or the care we provide. Check the FAQs below for helpful answers to particularly common dental inquiries.
An online request won’t guarantee a quick response. Thus, if you want to schedule a same-day appointment, you should give our dental office a call. This will give you a chance to speak directly to a dental team member and explain why you need to see a dentist right away.
A same-day appointment may be needed if you have a severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or any other kind of dental emergency. Once you arrive at our office, our team will work quickly to help you find relief from your discomfort. We’ll also determine your best option for treatment based on the nature of your problem and how much damage has already occurred. In some cases, it may be possible to perform certain treatments during your same-day appointment.
The location of a dental office, the hours it offers, and the services it provides are all factors that could potentially determine whether it’s the right choice for your next dental home. When searching for a dentist (be it a cosmetic dentist or a dentist you can turn to for regular preventive checkups), think about the specific traits that matter to you so that you can look for practices that have them. Then, take the time to learn more about said practices by reading any reviews they’ve received on Google.
The cost of routine preventive dentistry is not universal, but it often falls in the range of $200 to $350. Oftentimes, the geographic location of the dental practice can influence what it charges for its services. Your health can also affect the amount you can expect to pay.
We encourage you to reach out to our team to discuss the cost of a checkup and cleaning in more detail. Note that your visit will include a review of your health history, a discussion of your current dental health concerns, a thorough examination of your mouth, gentle removal of any plaque or tartar on your teeth, and an oral cancer screening. X-rays may also be taken at least once a year.
The path to becoming a dentist starts by earning a bachelor’s degree. After that, one needs to enroll in dental school for around four years. Graduates of dental school earn a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), thus becoming dentists.
In order to remain licensed as a dentist, one needs to pursue continuing education. Each state sets its own standards regarding how many continuing education hours dentists are required to complete within a certain amount of time.
