R. James Marcelli, DMD

Right off Cayuga, this dentist has kept Altoona smiles sharp since moving into the quiet stretch near 30th Street. A quick call ahead lands you in the chair for cleanings, fillings, crowns or implants, plus the kind of cosmetic touch-ups that brighten more than just teeth. Behind the mint-green mailbox sits the brick ranch at 305 Cayuga Ave, easy to spot once you’re past the auto shop.

Along with routine check-ups, they handle root canals, veneers and tooth whitening without the usual downtown traffic crawl. An orthodontic consult fits into the same slot if braces or aligners are in the plan. Before you turn back onto the main drag, swing by their front door for a parking spot that’s never a hunt in this part of town. When questions pop up, dial (814) 944-0607 to lock in an appointment.

Once you’ve mapped the route, their Google directions make the short hop from the hospital or the mall a breeze. The listing points straight to the doorstep: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89cb9171449defad:0xfd823c3c0589a145
