Questions

Pottstown, PA Patient FAQ

Where is your office for Pottstown patients?

Our only office is at 399 Arcola Road in Collegeville, east of Pottstown via Route 422. We are one independent practice, not affiliated with any other dental office.

How much is a dental visit out of pocket?

It depends on the exam, X-rays and type of cleaning you need, and on your coverage. We accept all PPO plans, offer a dental savings plan and review your costs before treatment starts.

I am nervous about root canals and extractions. How do you help?

These are the procedures many patients worry about most. We numb with The Wand, offer conscious sedation and anxiety management, and Dr. Silva explains each step before she begins.

What does PA mean in dental?

PA usually stands for a periapical X-ray, which shows a whole tooth from crown to root tip and the bone around it. When a case needs more, our Vatech CT scanner adds a 3D view.

Can my children see the same dentist?

Yes. Children are seen in our office for cleanings, fluoride, sealants and sports guards, and sedation dentistry for children is available when needed.
