Restorative dentistry refers to correcting oral health conditions such as cavities and chipped teeth and procedures such as root canals. Typical dental restoration practices include fillings, crowns, and bridges.

Cosmetic dentistry services are optional procedures that you may elect to undergo to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your teeth. Examples of cosmetic treatments include whitening sessions, veneers, and dental implants.

When you elect to move forward with a cosmetic procedure, the goal is to rejuvenate your smile and improve your self-esteem. Most patients consult our dentists about cosmetic services if they feel insecure about their teeth.

At the Pennsylvania Center for Dental Excellence, we recommend Invisalign for teens and adults. Invisalign is a quick and easy way to get straighter teeth without the hassle of braces. Better alignment not only looks good but may help improve your ability to clean your teeth and prevent issues that stem from jaw and bite misalignment. We are an Invisalign Premier Provider in Philadelphia having treated over 400 patients with Invisalign.

Severe gum disease can require surgery. But if you catch gum disease or gingivitis early, you may be able to beat it with periodontal deep cleaning. Your periodontist will take X-rays of your mouth and jaw to diagnose your issue and create an individualized treatment plan.

Our Philadelphia dental office is open to patients of all ages. Whether you require a routine cleaning or restorative treatment, our experienced dentists, periodontists, and orthodontists can provide a solution to enhance your smile. Soon, you will be showing off your pearly whites for the world to see.
