Our story
Our story
When Dr. Dennis opened Abington Center for Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in 2004, he built more than a dental office – he built a new, state-of-the-art facility with a simple idea at its heart: care for the whole family, at every stage of life, in one trusted place. Over the years the practice has grown alongside the community it serves, continually adding technology and expanding its services, while never losing the personal, relationship-driven approach it started with. Today, many of the families who came to us twenty years ago are still with us – and so are their children and grandchildren.
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to provide Clarks Summit and the greater Scranton area with advanced dental care in a warm, welcoming environment. We blend the latest technology with genuinely personalized care, so every patient – from a nervous first-time child to an adult considering a full smile transformation – leaves with a healthier, more confident smile and a good experience to remember.

Comprehensive care under one roof
Because we offer nearly everything in-house, your whole family’s dental needs are handled in one familiar place:
Advanced technology
Advanced technology, comfortable care
We’ve invested in technology that makes dentistry more precise, more efficient, and more comfortable. Same-day CEREC crowns let us repair many teeth in a single visit, with no temporary and no second appointment. 3D digital imaging allows us to plan treatments like implants with exceptional accuracy. And low-radiation digital X-rays give us a clear picture of your oral health while keeping your safety front and center. The result is better care, delivered more comfortably.
patient experience

From our friendly front-office team to our experienced hygienists, our whole staff is here to make your visit easy and stress-free. We take time to listen, explain your options clearly and honestly, and never rush you through. Free on-site parking and a welcoming office make the whole experience simpler, for everyone from toddlers to grandparents.
