Stephen Muench DDS, MAGD, PC

About the Doctor

Dr. Muench was born and raised in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Following his graduation from Temple University School of Dental Medicine in 1980, he returned to his hometown to begin a private practice. After a 1989 fire destroyed his first office in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, Dr. Muench re-established his practice in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania. His office doors opened in February of 1992. Since his dental school graduation Dr. Muench has been very active in continuing his dental education. He is an alumnus of the L.D. Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education in Key Biscayne, Florida and The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies in Nevada. In addition, he has amassed thousands of hours of continuing education credits which enabled him to obtain the Academy of General Dentistry’s Mastership (MAGD) award, a recognition that only a select group of dentists (1% in the United States and Canada) has achieved. The Academy requires a Master take a total of 1,600 hours of continuing education in 16 disciplines of dentistry, which Dr. Muench achieved in 2002. Dr. Muench is committed to refining his education so that he can keep his patients care on track with the latest advances and research in dentistry.

In addition to the professional affiliations listed above, Dr. Muench is also a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the American Dental Association, the Pennsylvania Dental Association, and the Schuylkill County Dental Society. His voluntary association with the National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped, makes dental care available for disabled, elderly, or medically compromised individuals in Pine Grove and surrounding communities at no cost. He also volunteers his services to Give Back a Smile, a charitable foundation organized by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry that restores the smiles and lives of many domestic violence survivors.

When he is not practicing dentistry, Dr. Muench enjoys skiing, golfing, biking, photography and coaching soccer for his children. He is an avid reader and anxiously awaits every new John Grisham novel. Anyone who meets Dr. Muench quickly becomes aware of the fact that his greatest passion outside of the office is his family. People notice that sparkle in his eyes when he speaks about his wife, Desiree, and their children, Nicholas, Christopher, and Grace.
