Cleanings, family care, gum treatment, implants and sleep apnea care from one Collegeville office a short drive from Skippack Village, with periodontics in-house.
Cleanings and checkups are where care starts. When an exam turns up something more, the next step usually happens in the same office, with the same chart and the same team.
A tooth-by-tooth exam, bite assessment and oral cancer screening, then a hygienist removes plaque and tartar and polishes every tooth.
Sealants, fluoride, sports guards and habit appliances for kids, plus sedation options for children who need help relaxing.
Non-surgical periodontal therapy, laser gum treatment, pocket reduction and gum grafts, handled by Dr. Strassberg in our office.
Tooth-colored fillings, root canal therapy and extractions, including wisdom teeth and impacted teeth.
Implant reconstruction with bone grafting when it is needed, and full or partial dentures for patients who prefer them.
Oral appliances for snoring and sleep apnea, and TMJ therapy for jaw pain, headaches and grinding.
Each case here was treated by Dr. Silva in our office, from worn and discolored teeth to veneers and restorations.
Results differ from patient to patient. Your plan starts with an exam and a conversation about what you want your smile to look like.
Our patients range from young children to adults rebuilding a full smile. These are the reasons people most often come to us.
★★★★★If you are like me and haven't seen a dentist in an embarrassing amount of time, they will treat you like a human being and make you comfortable.

Years without care give decay and gum disease time to progress quietly. We start with what is urgent, explain what can wait, and nobody is judged for the gap.
Most first visits include a full exam and a cleaning. If the exam finds something that needs treatment, you leave knowing your options and the timing.
We go over your health history, medications and anything that is bothering you right now.
Digital X-rays when your exam calls for them. Our Vatech CT scanner gives a 3D view when implants or complex cases are being planned.
A tooth-by-tooth exam, bite assessment and Identafi oral cancer screening, with an intraoral camera for spots that are hard to see.
Your hygienist cleans and polishes, then shows you how to remove plaque at home so gum problems are less likely to return.
We show you the images, explain what we found and talk through options. Digital iTero scans replace messy impressions when you need them.
Numbing with The Wand delivers anesthetic through computer-controlled flow rather than a traditional syringe, and Dr. Silva offers conscious sedation for patients who need more help relaxing.
Your exam, any treatment it leads to and your gum care are handled by one team that shares your chart.
Dr. Silva leads our team and asks patients to call her Nelly. Her training reaches past general dentistry into implants, jaw pain and sleep apnea, so those problems are treated in the same office as your cleanings.
Dr. Strassberg is skilled in all areas of periodontics. When an exam shows gum disease, he treats it here, from deep cleanings and laser therapy to gum grafts, so you do not need a separate specialist across town.
He values long relationships with patients, which matters for gum care that continues for years after treatment.
★★★★★So grateful I was able to be seen same day when I called today with a broken tooth. Dr. Nelly was so kind, professional, explained everything and put in process a plan for my teeth.

Cost depends on the care your exam shows you need. We go over what your plan covers and what you will owe before treatment starts.
We accept all PPO dental insurance plans, so you can use the benefits you already have. We do not accept Medicaid.
No insurance? Our dental savings plan is built for patients paying on their own.
When an exam leads to larger treatment such as implants or a root canal, payment plans spread the cost over time.
Our office sits on Arcola Road in Collegeville, a short drive southwest of Skippack Village. Patients describe it as clean, calm and welcoming, and our front desk team keeps the visit moving.

Answers to what Skippack patients ask most before their first visit.
Our office is at 399 Arcola Road in Collegeville, a short drive southwest of Skippack Village. We also see patients from Trappe, Oaks, Royersford, Limerick, Phoenixville and Norristown. One office handles cleanings, gum care, implants and sleep apnea treatment, which saves trips between specialists.
We accept all PPO dental insurance plans. We do not accept Medicaid. Patients without insurance can join our dental savings plan, and we offer payment plans for larger treatment.
Years without care give decay and gum disease time to progress, often without pain, so the first step is a full exam and the X-rays you need. We explain what we find, list what is urgent and what can wait, and build a plan from there. Many of our patients start exactly this way, and nobody is judged for the gap.
On a dental chart, PA usually stands for periapical, an X-ray that shows a whole tooth from the crown to the tip of the root. It helps the dentist spot infection, bone loss or problems around the root that a visual exam cannot show. We take digital X-rays only when your exam calls for them.
The cost depends on whether the extraction is simple or surgical, such as an impacted wisdom tooth, and on what your insurance covers. We give you the cost after an exam and X-rays, before the extraction is scheduled. Payment plans are available.
Start with an exam, because the plan and the price depend on how many teeth are missing and whether bone grafting is needed. Many PPO plans cover part of implant treatment, and our payment plans spread the rest over time. We also explain alternatives such as bridges and full or partial dentures, so you can compare.
Contact our office as soon as it happens. Several patients have written that they were seen the same day they reached out with a broken or painful tooth. Until your visit, rinse with warm water and avoid chewing on that side.
Yes. We offer cleanings, sealants, fluoride, sports guards and habit appliances for children, and sedation options for kids who need extra help relaxing. Parents and children can be seen in the same office.
