Our Doctors

Care that stays with the same hands.

Two doctors, one building, and a shared standard for how a visit should run.

Dentist and Owner

Dr. Brian Marino

  • University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), now Rutgers School of Dental Medicine
  • General Practice Residency, Hackensack University Medical Center

Dr. Brian Marino earned his dental degree at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), now Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. He completed a General Practice Residency at Hackensack University Medical Center, a year spent handling the full range of cases a hospital sees rather than a narrow slice of them. He founded Pequannock Valley Dental Associates in 2007 and has been building practices around the same standard ever since.

He continues his implant education through Minec America in Irving, Texas, and has completed surgical and prosthetic implant training in the Dominican Republic. That is continued education in implant dentistry rather than specialty credentialing, and it is why implant planning, placement and restoration stay in this building instead of being handed off.

He lives in Wyckoff with Kristen and their three children, James, Elizabeth and Madelyn, along with their Golden Retriever, Ryder. Outside the practice he is an avid fly fisherman and outdoorsman, which accounts for most of the early mornings.
