Philadelphia Dental Spa
Comfort with Advanced Technology

First, we want you to be comfortable. Second, we want to provide you with quality, effective, and painless dentistry. At our dental office, we strive to make you feel pampered and special. Sure, we offer paraffin hand dips and massages at each dental chair. But that is not all we are about.

We think it is important to keep up with the latest developments and equipment in dentistry today because we see that as our mission on your behalf. For example, we stopped using the old-fashioned X-ray machine. The new digital radiography machine allows us to take radiographs (X-rays) with up to 75 percent less radiation for our patients.

We also see it as our mission to take the guesswork out of dentistry. We want you to be comfortable and know what to expect. Wondering what your smile will look like after the work is done? We can show you. After we take a picture of your current smile, we do several calculations on the computer concerning the balance and symmetry of your face to design the best smile possible. Then we let the computer do its magic, and in minutes, we have an excellent simulation of what your new smile will look like. We want you to take the picture of your beautiful new smile home to show it to your family and friends.

Intraoral Camera
This excellent tool enables us to view the inside of your mouth on a screen, providing a clear and detailed view of any problems (and anything that’s doing great!). Best of all, you get to see it yourself.

Laser Scanner
Laser light is beamed beneath the hard enamel layer and reflected back to a handheld device. The laser beam makes it possible to measure the decay lurking below the tooth enamel.

Digital Radiography
With this technology, an X-ray is taken of your mouth with a digital sensor and downloaded into our computer, where it is immediately available. We can also view your entire mouth in one shot, including the upper and lower jaws, with panoramic digital images. These methods result in 75% less radiation than conventional X-rays. No more waiting for images to develop and no more chemical waste to pollute the environment.

Digital Imaging and Computer Smile Simulation
After we take a picture of your current smile, we do several calculations on the computer concerning the balance and symmetry of your face to design the best smile possible.
