Joanne Marks

Along Dudley Avenue, where Parkersburg’s residential quiet meets the occasional hum of passing traffic, Joanne Marks runs a dental practice. The office sits at 2625 Dudley Ave, a stretch lined with the kind of low-key professional buildings that blend into daily routines. Dentistry isn’t the sort of thing most people get excited about, but when the need arises—whether it’s a routine cleaning, a filling, or something more involved—having a local option simplifies the process. This isn’t the place for flashy promises, just the standard care that keeps things from getting worse.

Call ahead if you’re new or need to sort out an appointment: (304) 485-3870. First visits usually start with the basics—exams, X-rays, maybe a discussion about options if there’s work to be done. For anyone mapping out the trip, the directions are straightforward once you’re in the area. Parkersburg isn’t a city that overcomplicates things, and neither does this practice.
