Trappe shares our 19426 ZIP code, and our one office on Arcola Road brings family checkups, in-house gum care and sleep and TMJ treatment under one roof.
Our team treated every case shown here, including gum work by our periodontist. Results vary, and every plan starts with an exam.
Our only office is at 399 Arcola Road in Collegeville, a short drive from Trappe. We are independent, so the dentist who examines you is the dentist who plans your care.
Dr. Silva is a Clinical Associate Professor at Temple's Kornberg School of Dentistry and a Fellow of the International College of Dentists.
The Wand delivers numbing slowly and steadily. Conscious sedation is available for patients who feel anxious in the chair.
Our Vatech CT scanner shows teeth, roots and jaw in 3D. The iTero Element scanner takes digital impressions without trays.
Gum disease and sleep apnea are treated here too, so a referral elsewhere is rarely the first step.
Most of what a family needs, from a first cleaning to a rebuilt smile, happens with one team in one building.
Routine cleanings, fillings and sealants, with an Identafi oral cancer screening as part of your exam.
Fluoride, sealants, habit appliances and sports guards for young athletes. Sedation is available for children who need it.
Deep cleaning, periodontal laser treatment, gum grafts, pocket reduction and crown lengthening.
Root canal therapy to keep a damaged tooth, and wisdom or impacted tooth removal when a tooth cannot stay.
Implant reconstruction with bone grafting when the jaw needs support, plus full and partial dentures.
Custom oral appliances for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, and care for jaw pain and TMD.
Expect a full look at your mouth and a clear plan before any treatment begins.
Tell us what brought you in and what has bothered you about past visits. However long it has been, there is no judgment.
A tooth-by-tooth and gum check, a review of your bite and an Identafi oral cancer screening.
Digital x-rays as needed. When a closer look helps, our CT scanner shows the area in 3D.
We show you what we found, ranked by priority, with the cost of each option before anything is done.
