Dr. Micheal Anthony

Why Dentistry 

Michael “Doc” Anthony: We cannot begin to tell you about Dr. Dave until we tell you about the legacy he follows. Michael “Doc” Anthony began what is now Anthony Dental Care in 1976 in an upstairs space off Vernon Street on the “square” of Sunbury. In this space is where what we now call Love God, Love People, Love Dentistry began. Doc is from an era where you could be a good ole farm town dentist and get to know each of your patients on a personal level while providing exceptional care. You can actively participate in their lives beyond their oral health needs. You can grow together and help each other. This is what Anthony Dental Care still strives to provide today. We are here to truly know you and care for you. 

Although Doc retired from Dentistry in 2014, you will still see him in the office from time to time helping out and visiting with old friends. When he is not here locally, he and Fran enjoy their winters in Naples, Florida. His legacy will continue through the good works of his son and the staff that has grown in tandem with Anthony Dental Care. Doc prides himself on the staff culture he has created and we love living out his dream. Anthony Dental Care is so happy to have you as part of our family.
