Do you see children, and are you a family practice?

Yes, we're a family-friendly practice. We accept pediatric patients and provide comprehensive family dentistry for every age.

Do you treat patients with dental anxiety, and what sedation options are there?

Yes. We understand dental anxiety and offer several sedation options, depending on your needs and the procedure: local anesthesia to numb the area so you feel little to no pain, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild relaxation while you stay awake, and oral conscious sedation for a deeper, drowsy state that's ideal for patients with significant anxiety.

What should I expect at my first visit?

Your first visit is a thorough look at your overall oral health. You can expect an initial exam, a full cleaning with one of our hygienists, X-rays to check for cavities and other hidden issues, an oral cancer screening, and an evaluation of your gums and any existing fillings or crowns. We'll go over what we find, recommend a treatment plan if you need one, and schedule any follow-up care.

What dental services do you offer?

We offer general care like exams, cleanings, and sealants; cosmetic services such as veneers, bonding, and whitening; and restorative treatments including crowns, bridges, dentures, and root canals. We also provide Invisalign, orthodontics, dental implants, and emergency dentistry.

Are your dentists specialists, and in what?

Our dentists are highly skilled general dentists with expertise across several areas of dentistry. Dr. Shefali Mehta performs endodontics (root canals), oral surgery, dental implants, Invisalign, and cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Wendy Song has a special interest in oral surgery and cosmetic dentistry, and is trilingual in Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and English. Dr. Derrick Turner has been practicing since 1992 and is known for cosmetic dentistry and oral surgery.

Emergency & Sedation

What should I do for a dental emergency after hours?

If you have severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care right away. For urgent but less severe problems: keep a knocked-out tooth moist in milk or between your cheek and gum and try to reinsert it by the crown; after a chip or break, rinse gently with warm water and avoid chewing on that side; and for a lost filling or crown, use temporary dental cement from the pharmacy rather than glue. Then call us as soon as we reopen — we prioritize emergency patients and can often see you the same day. If you aren't sure whether it's an emergency, call us anyway and we'll help you decide on the best next step: (215) 981-0380

Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?

Yes, we offer same-day emergency appointments for both new and existing patients. If you're dealing with a severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a lost crown, or a broken tooth, call us and we'll get you in as quickly as possible — often within hours during business hours: (215) 981-0380

What sedation options do you offer for nervous patients?

We offer several options to help nervous patients stay comfortable: local anesthesia to numb the treatment area so you feel little to no pain, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild relaxation while you stay awake, and oral conscious sedation for a deeper, drowsy state while you're still able to respond to instructions.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes. Sedation dentistry is safe for patients with dental anxiety when it's administered by experienced professionals.
