Dr. Steven M. Marino

Dr. Marino was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in microbiology, then returned to Dallas to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Texas A&M University College of Dentistry. Following graduation, he completed a two-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at UT Health San Antonio School of Dentistry, where he received additional training in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, microscope-facilitated root canal treatment, IV sedation, dentoalveolar surgery, and implant reconstruction. He has since completed more than 900 hours of continuing education after dental school.

Dr. Marino was inspired to pursue dentistry by his childhood dentists, Dr. Brian Collins and Dr. Jim Berry. Their kind and gentle demeanor made dental visits a stress-free, enjoyable experience — and Dr. Marino strives to provide that same level of care and compassion to his patients.

Outside of the office, Dr. Marino can be found playing in soccer leagues, fiddling on the guitar and drum kit, and reading about teeth. He and his fiancée Reena love going to concerts and trying all the great restaurants around Austin together.

“I chose to become a dentist because this profession allows me to make a positive impact on another person’s life on a daily basis. To be able to take away pain and help someone feel confident with their smile is a privilege.”
