Dr. John C. Black, III
Growing up the son of a small town family dentist, Dr. John began observing dentistry at a very young age. His father, Dr. John C. Black, Jr. (or “Dr. Black”), began providing comprehensive dental care to the folks in Willow Street, Pennsylvania and the surrounding area in Lancaster County in 1961. At that time, the dental office was an addition to the Black family home located on Willow Street Pike North. In 1981, the office was moved to our present location. Dr. Black retired from dentistry in December, 2005.
Dr. John attended Lampeter-Strasburg High School and enjoyed playing football for the Pioneers. After high school, Dr. John attended Grove City College where he earned his BS degree in Biology. Dr. John earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Georgetown University and joined the team at Black & Black Dental in 1989. Dr. John is a long-time member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Pennsylvania Dental Association and the Seattle Study Club.
Dr. John's wife Toni also works at the Black & Black Dental office. When Dr. John isn't at the office, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing golf, listening to music, and relaxing at the beach.

Testimonial
I have been going to Black & Black Dental for years. I highly recommend this practice. The entire staff is welcoming and caring. Going to the dentist isn’t always a pleasant experience but they make it pleasant no matter what you’re there for. Gabby is my hygienist. She is so kind and skilled in what she does. I enjoy chatting with her and she always gives me a sparkling smile. Haley is another smiling face who always makes me laugh. Dr. John is very kind and knowledgeable in his practice as a dentist. I had implants and they did an amazing job! I couldn’t be happier. Finally, Jeanine keeps it all together at the front office. She’s the best. If you are looking for a dental practice, look no further. Call Dr. Black for an appointment today."
