Professional background
Marianna Zadov, DDS's past experience covered more than two decades in dentistry. That experience spanned the everyday foundations of the field — examinations, preventive care, fillings and routine treatment planning — alongside cosmetic and restorative dentistry, where function and appearance are addressed together.
Over those years she worked with a wide range of patients, from those seeking straightforward maintenance of healthy teeth to those managing long-standing problems that had gone untreated for years. These areas of historical experience provide background for the topics in this educational archive; they do not establish current clinical practice, licensure, or personal authorship or review of its guides.
Her past professional experience included dental practice in Florida. This site is an educational archive, not a dental practice, and does not offer appointments or treatment. The guides are general education only and are not a substitute for an examination by a licensed dentist.

Education
University of Toronto, DDS, 2003
Dr. Zadov earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Toronto in 2003. Her dental training there covered the full general curriculum — oral anatomy and pathology, diagnosis, operative and restorative technique, and the clinical rotations that form the basis of general practice.
That foundation shaped her understanding of the field. Dentistry changes quickly in its materials and methods, but the underlying biology does not, and treatment decisions are made against that biology first.
Clinical Experience
General, cosmetic and restorative dentistry
General dentistry formed the core of her practice experience: routine examinations, cleanings and preventive advice, diagnosis of decay and gum problems, and the ordinary restorative procedures that keep small issues from becoming large ones.
In cosmetic dentistry, her past interest was in results that look unremarkable — teeth that match the patient's face, proportions and age rather than a template. Whitening, bonding and veneers are best approached conservatively, with as much natural tooth structure preserved as the case allows.
Her restorative dentistry experience covered rebuilding work: crowns, bridges, larger restorations and the treatment sequencing required when several teeth are involved. Longevity is the measure she emphasized — whether a restoration would still be serving the patient well in a decade.
You can read more on these subjects in the cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry learning centers.
Past Approach to Patient Care
Clear explanation before treatment decisions.
Dr. Zadov's clinical perspective rested on communication and treatment planning. Patients deserve to see what is going on, hear what the realistic options are, and understand the reasoning behind a recommendation — including the option of waiting or doing nothing when that is reasonable.
Planning follows from that conversation. A sequence of treatment that a patient understands and can commit to is more valuable than an ideal plan they abandon halfway through. Cost, time and comfort are part of the discussion rather than afterthoughts.
Professional Interests
Patient education
Dental information online is often written to sell a procedure rather than to explain one. This archive presents general information on implants, veneers, orthodontic aligners, gum disease and preventive care alongside Dr. Zadov's historical professional background. Readers can use these topics to prepare questions for a licensed dentist; the archive does not provide individualized advice or appointments.
