Dental Examination
Your first visit will revolve around two basic things—your dentist getting to know your smile, and our team getting to know you as a person. Both are essential for providing excellent care that is fully tailored to your unique needs. After we check you in, you’ll be brought back to an operatory and introduced to your dentist. You’ll have a chance to explain your goals to them, and then they’ll give you a comprehensive exam. They’ll go over your treatment options, put together an ongoing care plan with you, and then you’ll have a chance to ask questions before we escort you back to the front desk.

X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Identifying the warning signs of oral cancer as early as possible can dramatically increase someone’s odds of survival. That’s why oral cancer screenings are a normal part of every regular dental checkup. We will examine the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, and gums for discolored patches, worrisome lumps, and other symptoms. If necessary, we can help you arrange for a more in-depth examination to get a proper diagnosis.

Teeth Cleaning
Even though dental checkups and teeth cleanings are one of the most well-known reasons to visit your dentist, some people may not realize why they matter so much. Oral health problems like tooth decay and gum disease tend to be difficult for you to notice early on in their development. Being proactive about discovering and treating these issues can save you a lot of time and money over the long haul.
Fluoride Treatment
Your biannual dental checkups are an excellent opportunity for us to give your teeth a topical fluoride treatment. The effects of fluoride on dental health are undeniable: it helps the teeth resist the demineralization caused by harmful acids in your mouth, and it replenishes the calcium and phosphate needed to strengthen the enamel. If you’re not getting enough fluoride from your drinking water or toothpaste, a fluoride treatment can significantly lower your risk for cavities.
Dental Sealants

Fillings
Resin Composite
Fillings have long been the restoration of choice for reversing the effects of tooth decay, but what some patients may not realize is that the materials used to make them have become more advanced over the years. Composite resin fillings can blend in with enamel extremely well, yet they can still withstand the daily pressure and stress of chewing. They also bond directly with the tooth’s structure, strengthening it from within. Composite fillings can last for around a decade when well-cared for.
Veneers
For various reasons, your smile might stand to look better. Maybe your teeth aren’t as white as you’d prefer, or your pearly whites have unsightly marks from injuries. Whatever the issue, though, veneers could be your ideal solution! With just two visits to Dentex Dental Group, this cosmetic procedure makes all sorts of dental flaws disappear. To learn more about it, just give us a call ! We’d be happy to answer your questions and set up a consultation.
Crowns
During a regular dental checkup, we may take a number of diagnostic X-rays to check for oral health issues in places we wouldn’t be able to see with the naked eye. We’ll also perform a close visual and tactile examination to look for signs of gum disease and decay; this is also a chance for us to confirm that current fillings and crowns are still in good shape. Any plaque or calculus (tartar) found during the examination will be removed during your cleaning.
Bridges
With a dental bridge, it’s possible to replace either a single tooth or several teeth in a row. The restoration is actually made of multiple prosthetic teeth connected to each other. The crowns at both ends are meant to rest on the natural teeth that are still in your mouth; this gives your new teeth stability when you use them to bite and chew.
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic bonding offers a quick, inexpensive way to enhance your smile in Bustleton. After preparing the surface of the enamel, we can place composite resin over any chips, cracks, stains, or other flaws that you want to hide. The material will be color-matched and molded to blend in with the rest of the tooth, ultimately resulting in a dazzling, flawless grin. And unlike other cosmetic treatments that we offer, the entire procedure can be done in just one visit.
Restorative Dentistry
Once the enamel protecting your teeth has been compromised, it has no way to repair or heal itself naturally. The damage will only get worse if you leave it alone, but a high-quality dental restoration can protect the tooth and help it function normally while also restoring its appearance. Do you have a crack, a chip, a cavity, or another type of dental damage? Get in touch with Dentex Dental of Philadelphia to ask about your options for restorative dentistry in Philadelphia, PA.

Root Canal Treatment
There is a common misconception that root canal therapy is an extremely painful procedure. In fact, the opposite is true: a root canal can stop severe, persistent tooth pain while also preventing infections from spreading further than they already have. Do you have a toothache that has only grown worse over time? Get in touch with Dentex Dental of Philadelphia; after a quick examination, we can decide whether root canal therapy from our Philadelphia, PA dentist is necessary to provide the relief you need.

Deep Cleaning
Along with cleaning and sanitizing during the day, we take things to another level at night with a thorough top-to-bottom scrub down.

Dentures
Dentures have been around for hundreds of years, but they have improved with modern advancements. Better materials, innovative technology, and skilled dental professionals all lead to better-fitting, better-looking, and better-feeling dentures. At Dentex Dental Group, we take pride in the quality of our work, even if we have to start all over and replace lost teeth entirely. With your new dentures, you can overcome the challenges of tooth loss, so give us a call and schedule your consultation today!

Dental Implants
Have adequate bone density to support dental implants. (Due to the strategic placement of the implants, most patients meet this criterion even without a bone graft.)

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Your overall health, as you will be required to undergo minor oral surgery. You must be in good general overall health to avoid potential complications later on.
Tooth Extractions
Ridge Augmentation
When we say that dental implants are placed in the jawbone, we are using generalized terminology. Specifically, they are placed in the alveolar ridge, which is the area that contains your tooth sockets. The ridge must be wide enough to support dental implants. If it is not, we may perform ridge expansion (also called ridge augmentation). During this dental implant procedure in Northeast Philly, we divide the ridge and wedge apart its segments. Then, we can insert grafting material between them. Depending on the circumstances, it is sometimes possible to perform ridge expansion at the same time as dental implant placement.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting in Philadelphia is usually able to correct a thin or weak jawbone. During the procedure, we add bone material (either synthetic or natural) to your jaw. After your body integrates the new material over the course of several months, your jaw should be able to support implants.

Orthodontics
Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can correct a wide range of aesthetic smile issues. They are thin shells made from durable dental-grade porcelain. Veneers are attached to the front of the teeth, and a small amount of enamel is removed so they maintain a strong hold and a natural look. Some dentists also offer Lumineers, which are a similar treatment that can be placed without any enamel removal. Porcelain veneers are sometimes called “instant orthodontics,” but how did they earn that name? Read on to learn why they’re called this as well as the benefits of getting this treatment. (more…)
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign in Bustleton foregoes the need for metal brackets and wires and instead adjusts your teeth in a much more inconspicuous way. The plastic aligners used during the process are transparent and thus practically invisible when worn on your teeth. They need to be worn for at least 20 to 22 hours every day, but you can take them off during meals, meaning your diet won’t be limited during the treatment. Most of the time, Invisalign in Northeast Philadelphia will dramatically improve your smile in about 12 to 18 months.
Braces
Dr. Zilberman has been helping smiles thrive right here in Philadelphia for over 20 years so far. He completed his doctorate at Temple University and has pursued continuing education ever since to further expand on his skills, which includes becoming certified in Invisalign® Clear Braces. He hopes to welcome you here at Dentex Dental of Philadelphia soon!
