Dental Examination
X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
If overly aggressive brushing techniques are eroding the gums, a softer toothbrush and a gentler brushing technique should be used.Â If poor oral hygiene is a problem, prophylaxis (professional dental cleaning) may be recommended to rid the gum pockets of debris and bacteria.Â In the case of a severe calculus (tartar) build up, scaling and root planing will be performed to heal the gingival inflammation and clean the teeth.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Prevention â€“ Helping parents and children establish sound eating and oral care habits reduces the chances of later tooth decay.Â In addition to providing check ups and dental cleanings, pediatric dentists are also able to apply dental sealants and topical fluoride to young teeth, advise parents on thumb- sucking/pacifier/smoking cessation, and provide good demonstrations of brushing and flossing.
Space Maintainers
Intervention â€“ In some cases, pediatric dentists may discuss the possibility of early oral treatments with parents.Â In the case of oral injury, malocclusion (bad bite), or bruxism (grinding), space maintainers may be fitted, a nighttime mouth guard may be recommended, or reconstructive surgery may be scheduled.

Fillings
There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.Â You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today.Â Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the teeth.
Veneers
Dental Veneers â€“ Veneers are porcelain/ceramic covers that are bonded to the natural teeth.Â Veneers can instantly solve problems like uneven teeth, stained teeth, and chips and damage caused by general wear and tear.
Crowns
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size.Â A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Bridges
Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years, however they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.
Dental Bonding
Any dental work that aims to improve the appearance of your mouth, gums, teeth, and smile falls under cosmetic dentistry. The most common procedures under this service include inlays and onlays, veneers, composite bonding, implants, and whitening.
Restorative Dentistry
Alissa loves educating her patients in both preventative and restorative dentistry. Her knowledge of all aspects of oral health help provide the outstanding, personalized care she gives to each one of them.

Root Canal Treatment
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with the complex structures found inside the teeth. The Greek word â€œEndodonticsâ€ literally means â€œinside the toothâ€ and relates to the tooth pulp, tissues, nerves, and arterioles.Â Endodontists receive additional dental training after completing dental school to enable them to perform both complex and simple procedures, including root canal therapy.

Deep Cleaning
Periodontal disease is a progressive condition which leads to severe inflammation and tooth loss if left untreated.Â Antibiotic treatments can be used in combination with scaling and root planning, curettage, surgery or as a stand-alone treatment to help reduce bacteria before and/or after many common periodontal procedures.

Dentures
A denture is a removable dental appliance and a replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue.Â They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or Periodontist - a specialist of the gums and supporting bone.Â The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patientâ€™s smile!

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Dr. Rizzo is a graduate of Lower Merion High School, Bucknell University and Temple University School of Dentisry.Â After graduation Dr. Rizzo spent five years working in dental offices in and around the Philadelphia area before buying his own office.Â He spent 5 years on the faculty of Temple's Dental School teaching students all aspects of clinical dentistry.Â Dr. Rizzo has continued his education over the years with concentrations in the field of endodontics, implantology, oral surgery and prosthodontics.
Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation â€“ This procedure, often called â€œrecontouringâ€ may be required to correct an uneven gum line.Â Before embarking on treatment, a periodontist needs to treat any bacterial infections and periodontitis.

Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of jaw, face and bite irregularities ( malocclusions *). Orthodontic treatment is provided by an oral health care provider known as an Orthodontist, who has typically completed two to three years of additional training beyond dental school.
Invisalign Orthodontics
InvisalignÂ® treatment consists of a series of custom-made aligning trays.Â The dentist changes the trays every several weeks to fit the new tooth configuration.Â In addition to the reduced visual impact, InvisalignÂ® aligning trays can be temporarily removed for important occasions â€“ meaning that treatment duration is patient-controlled.Â A great number of people report complete satisfaction with both the InvisalignÂ® treatment and the stunning results.
Braces
When braces are finally removed, the â€œretentionâ€ phase begins for most individuals. The objective of this phase is to ensure the teeth do not regress back to their previous position. A retainer will be used to maintain the improved position of the teeth. A retainer is a fixed or removable dental appliance which has been custom-made by the orthodontist to fit the teeth. Retainers are generally made from transparent plastic and thin wires to optimize the comfort of the patient.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Cosmetic Dentistry
In the past decade there has been a dramatic interest in cosmetic dentistry.Â We all realize that having a healthy, bright, beautiful smile enhances our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence.Â Thanks to the advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, we are able to improve our teeth and smiles with quick, painless and surprisingly affordable treatments.
General Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry (formerly Pedodontics/Paedodontics) primarily focuses on children from birth through adolescence.Â The American Dental Association (ADA), recognizes pediatric dentistry as a specialty, and therefore requires dentists to undertake two or three years of additional training after completing a general dentistry degree.Â At the end of this training, the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry issues a unique diploma (Diplomate ABPD).Â Some pediatric dentists (pedodontists) opt to specialize in oral care for children with special needs; specifically children with autism, varying levels of mental retardation, or cerebral palsy.
