About Alachua Dental Center
We love to help people change their lives by changing their smiles.
Entrusting your dental health and your smile to someone is a big step. You want a dentist who is competent, but it goes beyond that. You want a dentist you can trust — one who listens to your concerns and makes you feel comfortable coming back. At Alachua Dental Center, our entire team is trained, caring, and committed to your well-being.
Dr. Marc V. Cauchon, DMD, LVIF
Dr. Cauchon’s passion for biological science and art led him to dentistry. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 1993, after receiving his Bachelor of Science in Pre-professional Biology from the University of West Florida.
His commitment to excellence across all areas of practice — general, cosmetic, orthodontics, restorative, and neuromuscular dentistry — sets him apart. Dr. Cauchon brings extensive hands-on experience and genuine care for every patient.
“We focus on treating individuals, not just their teeth. A healthier and more attractive smile can have a significant impact on more than your appearance. Our patients feel more confident and much better about themselves.”
