About
Pettinato Dental Care has been a fixture of North Scranton since 2001. Our promise is simple: thoughtful, honest dentistry delivered with patience and warmth — treating every patient the way we'd want to be treated ourselves.
"I became interested in dentistry when I was 8 years old. I fell in love with the artistic side of the profession and knew I could make a significant impact on the quality of life of many people from all walks of life. I also discovered that genuine caring is the driving force behind a job well done. Today, I remain dedicated to the science and the objectives of comprehensive dental care and to treating every single patient with the utmost gentleness, professionalism, integrity, respect and compassion — as I would treat a friend or family member."
Dr. Pettinato graduated from Syracuse University in 1990 and completed his dental school training at Temple University School of Dentistry in 1994. He has been practicing general and cosmetic dentistry since 1994 and in his current solo practice since 2001.
He is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry — achieving Fellowship status in 2010 and Mastership in 2017 — as well as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Pennsylvania Academy of General Dentistry, the PEAK Pennsylvania study club, and several local dental organizations. Mastership is held by fewer than 2% of dentists nationwide.
Dr. Pettinato lives in Clarks Summit with his wife Maggie and their two sons, Matt and Cameron. Outside the practice he enjoys reading, golf, cooking, movies, and volunteering in the community.
