Oaks families get checkups, gum surgery with our own periodontist, implants and sleep apnea care in one Collegeville office, so fewer problems end in a referral.
Every case here was treated in our office, from gum surgery to cosmetic work on front teeth. Results vary from patient to patient, and each plan starts with an exam.
We are an independent office with one location, on Arcola Road in Collegeville. The dentist who examines you plans your care, and the tools to carry it out are in the same building.
We are not part of a chain or group. Your records, x-rays and the people who know your history stay in one place.
The Wand Advanced Anesthesia delivers numbing at a slow, controlled pace. Conscious sedation is available for patients who feel anxious.
Checkups include an Identafi oral cancer screening, a light-based check of the tissues inside the mouth.
Our Vatech CT scanner shows teeth, roots and jaw bone in three dimensions. The iTero Element scanner replaces impression trays with a digital scan.
Routine visits and the treatments many offices send out are handled by the same team, so a problem found at a checkup can be treated here.
Cleanings, exams, fillings and sealants, with oral hygiene coaching so your next visit goes as well as this one.
Fluoride, sealants, habit appliances and sports guards. Sedation dentistry for children is available when a young patient needs it.
Non-surgical gum therapy, periodontal laser treatment, gum grafts, pocket reduction and crown lengthening with Dr. Strassberg.
Root canal therapy to keep a painful tooth. When a tooth cannot stay, we handle extractions, including wisdom and impacted teeth.
Dental implants with bone grafting when the jaw needs support, plus full and partial dentures and full mouth reconstruction.
Custom oral appliances for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, care for jaw pain and teeth grinding, and Invisalign for crowded teeth.
You leave your first appointment knowing what is healthy, what needs attention and what each option involves.
Tell us what brought you in, what worries you and how past dental visits have gone for you.
We check each tooth, your gums and your bite, and include an Identafi oral cancer screening.
Digital x-rays as needed. When a closer look helps, our CT scanner shows the area in 3D.
We walk you through what we found in order of priority, with the cost of each option before any work begins.

Periodontics

Answers to the questions Oaks patients ask us most. Tap a question to open it.
Our only office is at 399 Arcola Road in Collegeville, a short drive from Oaks. We are an independent office with no other locations, so you see the same dentists at every visit.
Many patients do well with a checkup and cleaning twice a year. Patients with gum disease often need cleanings more often to keep it under control. We set your schedule after your first exam, based on what we find.
The cost depends on which tooth is treated, whether it needs a crown afterward and what your plan covers. We are in-network with all PPO dental plans, and we give you an estimate before treatment starts. Payment plans can spread the cost over time.
We accept all PPO dental insurance plans. We do not accept Medicaid. Patients without insurance can join our dental savings plan.
Contact us as soon as it happens and tell us it is urgent. Recent patients with a broken tooth have been seen the same day, and one was seen an hour after calling. Until your visit, keep any broken pieces and chew on the other side.
Start with a new patient visit. We do a full exam and the imaging you need, then explain a plan in order of priority. Patients who return after a long gap are treated without judgment.
Often, yes. Dr. Silva is a Diplomate in Dental Sleep Medicine and fits custom oral appliances for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. She also completed a TMD residency and treats jaw pain and teeth grinding.
From a routine cleaning to gum surgery or a sleep appliance, one team on Arcola Road cares for Oaks patients of every age.
