Dental Services In Philadelphia, PA

The Smilist of Philadelphia, PA dental office provides all of the routine forms of dental treatments, including exams, cleanings, and x-rays, helping keep your mouth as healthy as possible. General dentistry also includes restorative treatment of your teeth, from fillings and crowns to bridges and dentures.

The Smilist has highly-trained dentists that care deeply about your oral health and will do all that they can to ensure that you receive only the highest level of care, including providing patient education about the proper care and maintenance of your teeth and gums. They even provide emergency appointments when the unexpected happens.

If you have felt insecure about your smile, cosmetic dentistry might be a great solution for you. The Smilist of Philadelphia, PA dental office provides a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments to help you get the smile that you have always dreamed of.

Cosmetic dentistry includes teeth-whitening to help remove any stains that might have built up from coffee or food. Composite or porcelain veneers are also offered to help alter the shape and color of your teeth. Veneers are thin restorations that are customized to fit your teeth and then placed over the top of them, giving your teeth a complete makeover.

Invisalign® is the clear and removable alternative to braces. It’s an excellent, non-invasive type of orthodontics that The Smilist of Philadelphia, PA dental office offers with no metal brackets! Instead, the process involves custom-fit, clear plastic aligners that you wear to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.

Because the aligners are clear, they are virtually invisible. The process is subtle, ensuring that your daily life will not be affected by them. These are a great choice for patients with crowding, minor spaces between the teeth, overbites, and underbites. They also work well for patients of all ages.

The Smilist Dental of Philadelphia, PA offers advanced orthodontic dentistry. We place a strong emphasis on helping create your straight, healthy smile. Our trustworthy, compassionate team of orthodontists will work with you to create a treatment plan designed to meet your dental health needs. Traditional braces consist of metal brackets that are glued to the tooth and bands are fixed around a tooth. They are essentially used as “anchors. These are a great choice for patients with overcrowding, large teeth, over bites, under bites and other spacing issues.

Emergencies happen to all of us and often at the most inconvenient times. If you have a dental emergency, The Smilist of Philadelphia, PA dental office is here to help. Whether you have experienced an accident or are suffering from dental pain, emergency appointments are offered to get you back up and running again.

Most often, dental accidents happen due to a sports injury, while eating, or even a fall, but sometimes you might find yourself in pain without an obvious cause. Do not hesitate to call the dental office so you can receive immediate dental care. If your emergency is severe or happens after business hours, you should seek attention from an emergency room.

Through your everyday food and drink choices, your teeth might not be as white as you would like them to be. Common foods and drinks such as tomatoes, coffee, and wine will stain your teeth over time. Thankfully, whitening treatments can help lift those stains and make your teeth look brighter, rejuvenating your smile.

The Smilist of Philadelphia, PA dental office offers a couple of solutions to help brighten your teeth, including take-home teeth whitening kits and in-office teeth whitening treatments. Take-home teeth whitening kits are a more gradual solution and are very affordable. In-office teeth whitening treatments offer the best results and work right away. If you are interested in teeth whitening and want to learn more about your options, please feel free to call or email The Smilist of Philadelphia, PA to help you determine which option is best for you.
