Providing Reliable and Caring General, Cosmetic, and Restorative Dentistry Since 1980

Dr. Clinton Runco & Associates has been providing general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry since 1980. Our office is located in downtown Squirrel Hill, across the street from Taylor Allderdice High School. We welcome patients from Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, Greenfield, Oakland, and beyond. Many of our patients are multiple generations in families, while others are referrals from our loyal patient base. 

We know how daunting a trip to the dentist can be. Our dentists and staff make it our goal to ensure that you are comfortable and relaxed during your visit, from a friendly greeting at the reception area and quick check-in, to a thorough cleaning, to your visit with our dentists.
