Dr. Clement Guarlotti, a well-known Greensburg dentist and prosthodontist, died May 9. At the age of 77, he was still at the top of his profession.
Guarlotti was excellent at what he did. His experience helped him finish procedures perfectly in a short amount of time. He always played oldies music and would sing along. He was never in a bad mood, and he made the office atmosphere light and enjoyable. Several members of his family worked for him, and, of course, they also are first rate.
Guarlotti helped start Westmoreland County Community College’s dental hygiene program 30 years ago. He was the dentist to former Greensburg Fire Chief Ed Hutchinson, monks from Saint Vincent College and many others. Even on the busiest day, he was happy and handled any problem with great skill. He even had a menu item at Rizzo’s Malabar Inn: Polenta Guarlotti. Besides enjoying fine dining, he and his wife loved dancing.
Just a great guy and dentist!
