I am a native of the Northwest and moved my family to the beautiful community of Salem in 2002. I have a wonderful wife, Melanie, and we have four beautiful children; 2 boys and 2 girls; and a new daughter in law. When I'm not in the office and can find a little spare time, you will find me fly-fishing, snow skiing, mountain biking, golfing, and spending good times with my family. It's amazing to think I have been practicing over 18 years in Salem. One thing you should know is that I have a real passion for dentistry.
I have served in the dental industry for 14 years, first starting as a Dental Assistant, then continuing my education becoming a Dental Hygienist. What I love most about my career is working with and developing great relationships with my many amazing patients. When you arrive in our office for your cleaning appointment I assure you that you'll feel warmly welcomed and receive a thorough but gentle cleaning. My goal is always to inspire my patients to achieve their goals of dental health and help provide any necessary tools or education.
I've been in the dental field for over 20 years, graduating from Chemeketa Community College in 1995 as an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant. I enjoy working with people and strive to make patients feel happy & comfortable. It is such an amazing experience to help people overcome dental phobias and see a positive experience change their lives.
My name is Kelsey. I was born outside of Chicago, but have called Oregon home almost my entire life. I graduated from Concorde Career College with a degree in Dental Assisting in 2010. I have been working at Stones Family & Cosmetic Dentistry since 2016 where I have had the distinct pleasure of working at a fantastic office and with some of the finest professionals in the industry.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Stone and his team today and had the best experience! You feel apart of the family right off the bat. Everything was explained in great detail and I feel very comfortable moving forward with them as my primary dentist from now on. Every concern of mine was addressed and also taken seriously. It's rare to find dental and medical care now a days were you feel heard and your voice matters. Very lucky to have found them and very excited for my implant journey to begin with them! Thank you Stones Family Dental!

I am very impressed with everyone at the office. My dental hygienist was the best. She did a through job explaining everything along the way. I had waited two years between cleanings but there was no judgment. My teeth are super clean and feel great. Dr. Stones also went over my xrays and took the time to explain what needed to be done. He took the time to answer my questions. I will definitely be back.

My family and I have been going to Stones Family Dental for years and we love them! They take very good care of us and our triplet daughters who are now 9. We appreciate that they've helped us through some unexpected issues that popped up during non-business hours over the years. They take the time to respond and listen (and ease) our concerns and we are forever grateful for that! We would highly recommend them as your family dentist!

After a very difficult experience at another dental office, we felt welcomed and cared for by Dr. Stones and his stellar staff. Thank you for providing such an accepting amd caring environment. Every member of your staff was kind and compassionate. We will be moving all of our dental care to your office. Thank you again!

Dr, Stones and Family hardly need another five-star review. But they deserve one anyway. I've been on a lifelong quest for the best. And all my long life, I've enjoyed the privilege of exceptional dental care. I believe an attractive, healthy smile is one of life's greatest privileges. The Stones Family Dentistry is not only outstanding for its competence, the staff treats patients like family from the front office to "the chair".
The atmosphere is appealing, comforting and upbeat. Dr. Stones is notably knowledgeable, generous with his time, and not the least pushy. In my not-so-humble opinion, you can become a patient of Stones Family Dentistry in complete confidence. They reflect great credit on themselves and the dental profession. - Sheldon Smith, Austin/Salem/Portland Resident

Dr. Marcus is the best dentist by far he and his whole staff are incredible at what they do, they go far and beyond to make you feel at ease while you're at the office. Been a loyal patient to their office since 2013 when I went thru couple of reviews online saw their 5 stars rating and I didn't hesitate to contact them and as soon as my first visit Dr. Marcus was so quick to address all his concerns regarding dental work needed to be done and fast forward now I'm a firm believer so much that I got my wife to go to his office as well! Thanks Doc for everything you've done for me, and now my wife. Also thanks Michelle for her awesome patience with me she's the best dental hygienist by far!

They have a positive, upbeat, and thorough staff. The office is clean and cozy. My kids do like going there. I give it 4 stars because I haven't been consistently informed about billing, although we have been able to work things out in the end. I've had similar problems at other Dentist offices. And another reason for 4 stars is because I have anxiety I have asked for specific accommodations and they have been inconsistently met.
They have made an effort and I do appreciate that. I think for some people the upbeat, active environment will be perfect. They do stand by their dental work and I think that is in the end most important factor.

I called this morning because of a tooth ache & thought I had chipped part of my tooth. They got me in ASAP & checked things out. Didn't chip what I thought but learned more about why we can have tooth pain. Who knew you could bruise a tooth?! (And I say this "bruise" because it was explained to me in terms I could understand.) Learned something new & felt reassured that coming in was the right thing to do just make sure all was ok.
I was able to sneak in a cleaning as well by Emily. She was so gentle & was very careful around my already sensitive tooth. I'm so grateful that we've found a place to come & feel like not only are our teeth being taken care of but so is our peace of mind. What started out as a worrisome day has now turned calmer.

I just went through the process of getting a dental implant with Doctor Stones and his amazing staff. He removed my last baby tooth which had been under a shiney silver crown for roughly 35 years. I did not feel a thing when he removed the tooth and put the post in. Today I got my new tooth. I was so sleepy after putting furniture together the night before, I needed a nap, and pretty much dozed during the entire process of the tooth being placed.
Now that right there, is one amazing dentist! His staff are great people too. So friendly, kind, and always welcoming. The best atmosphere you could imagine. I've never been to a dental office like it, and don't plan on going anywhere else.

I recently had a crown done by Dr. Stones & it was a great experience! I haven't been able to really see a dentist on a regular basis in over 30 years. However, Dr. Stones reassured my anxieties, took care of my pain, made me feel relaxed & took great care of me. I made a follow-up appointment, to do an over-all evaluation of my teeth & what was needed.
I had some genuine fears, as it had been so LONG since I'd been able to see a dentist regularly, but I was very quickly eased out of that, a plan to address the issues was made & I went away from my appointment feeling pretty good. I just went in for my cleaning yesterday, and Yvette did a FABULOUS job! (The regular hygienist was out.) Dr. Stones & his staff are warm, funny & family oriented & willing to work with people. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience to anyone. Love them!
