We’re excited to welcome a new face to the Tuscarora Dental team—Dr. Stephanie Marnic, a compassionate and skilled dentist whose passion for patient care and personal connection fits perfectly with our practice philosophy.
From her very first visit to Tuscarora Dental, Dr. Marnic says she felt right at home. “Everyone felt like a family,” she shares. “There’s a common goal of putting patients first, and I really enjoy that aspect.” That dedication to people—not just procedures—is a big part of what drew her to dentistry in the first place.
A Passion That Started Early
Dr. Marnic’s love for dentistry began in childhood. Unlike many, she looked forward to her dental visits. “As a kid, I always loved going to the dentist. I always felt cared for and excited to go back each time,” she recalls. That early experience stayed with her and sparked a lifelong interest in helping others feel the same way.
While pursuing her undergraduate studies, Dr. Marnic began shadowing dentists and quickly realized she had found her calling. “I really liked the one-on-one patient contact and developing relationships with these patients throughout their treatment,” she explains.
A Care Philosophy Built on Empathy
Dr. Marnic approaches every patient with three core values in mind: empathy, transparency, and trust. “I want every patient to feel heard, understood, and empowered in their patient care,” she says. “And that no question is too small during treatment planning.” Whether you’re in for a routine cleaning or a more complex treatment, her goal is to ensure you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way.
Her favorite area of dentistry? Restorative care. “I like to see patients regain function that they were once missing and help them feel empowered with their smile again,” she says. For Dr. Marnic, dentistry is about more than fixing teeth—it’s about restoring confidence and improving quality of life.
Embracing the Future of Dentistry
Another reason Dr. Marnic is excited to be part of the Tuscarora team is our commitment to cutting-edge technology. “The technology here at Tuscarora allows us to tailor your treatment and needs to your comfort level,” she explains. With modern tools and techniques, she's able to deliver highly personalized care that’s both efficient and comfortable.
Outside the office, Dr. Marnic brings the same joyful energy to her everyday life. She enjoys staying active by playing pickleball with friends, experimenting with recipes from new cookbooks, and spending time catching up with loved ones.
A Warm Welcome Awaits
If you’re a new patient, Dr. Marnic wants you to know one thing: “I genuinely care about your comfort and health. I’m here to listen, answer questions, and partner with you throughout your dental journey.”
We’re so lucky to have Dr. Marnic on board—and we can’t wait for you to meet her.
Welcome to the family, Dr. Marnic!
