Main Line Family Dentistry - General dentist in Bryn Mawr, PA

Our dentists are Dr. Anthony M. Zalis, Dr. Brian Shepanski, Dr. Joseph Foote, and Dr. David Robbins. Dr. Zalis is a prosthodontist who optimizes the appearance and function of the teeth and the bite. Dr. Shepanski is a member of the American Dental Association, the Pennsylvania Dental Association, and the Chester/Delaware County Dental Society. He has continued his dental education to learn the latest in cosmetic and restorative care as well as orthodontics.

As a general dentist, Dr. Foote helps patients maintain the health and function of the smile. He also specializes in oral and maxillofacial surgery for patients with crooked teeth and bite disorders. Dr. Robbins provides smile makeovers to patines and high-quality restorative care with dental implants. Our dentists, hygienists, dental assistants, and office staff are all dedicated to professional, high-quality dental care.

We use digital x-rays to get a clearer picture of our patients smiles. Compared to traditional x-rays, digital x-rays emit 80 percent less radiation and are safer for patients and our team. With digital x-rays, our dentists can easily see the mouths teeth, gums, and soft tissues to diagnose and treat patients quickly. Our dental team can also digitally save our patients x-rays to create a dental record.

Dental implants are titanium posts that an oral surgeon places in the mouth to replace missing teeth at the socket. A dental implant comprises a titanium post, an abutment, crown, bridge, or denture. Implants also provide strength and stability to dental restorations. As a result, patients can quickly eat and speak comfortably and naturally.

We provide a customized take-home whitening treatment in our office. This treatment uses custom-made trays and high-quality whitening gel to enhance the smile. To create the custom trays, we take dental impressions of the teeth. Once complete, the whitening trays hold the whitening gel to treat each tooth evenly.

With Invisalign, patients can comfortably straighten their smiles. Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear removable aligners to straighten teeth over time. Because the aligners are removable, patients can eat and brush their teeth without wires or brackets in the way. We recommend Invisalign for teenagers and adults who want to realign their teeth discreetly.

Dental veneers are thin porcelain ceramic shells that we bond to the front of the tooth enamel. Porcelain veneers cover gaps between teeth, stained teeth, crooked teeth, and other cosmetic imperfections. We color-match each dental veneer to blend in with the appearance of the natural smile. Additionally, we can restore the whole smile with veneers if orthodontics or whitening treatment is not viable.

Our tooth crowns are made of porcelain ceramic to cover damaged or weakened teeth fully. Dental crowns can cap off dental implants or provide further protection to teeth following a root canal. Unlike traditional metal crowns, our porcelain ceramic crowns appear and feel natural.

Dr. Zalis and his crew are the best care. Multiple times they have taken the extra time to work on a few issues without having to completely replace or crown a tooth. Other dentists told me they'd just crown it . I fly all the way from Los Angeles to get his care. I trust them 100% to make the best decision for me

I was dreading the procedure (two old fillings to be removed and replaced) and while there are more fun ways to spend an hour, this was a great experience. The waiting room music was awesome and Dr Zalis was kind and quick and the procedure was painless after the almost painless Novocain injections. His talented assistant sculpted the new filling material like an artist, working diligently on the smallest detail. She took breaks so I could rest my jaw and we had a great conversation. I felt safe (excellent Covid protocols) and valued, with empathy and clear explanations of each step in the process. Ten stars.

Am very pleased with my first visit to Main Line Family Dentistry. Dr. Zalis took the time to introduce himself and go over my complete dental background. Lisa did an exceptional job with x-rays and complete cleaning; very thorough. It was a pleasure meeting everyone. An acquaintance suggested this office and staff, and very happy that I took her recommendation.
