Doctor Brian Handel on General Dentistry
General dentistry isn't just a cleaning anymore. It is involves a lot of early detection, which allows us to be very conservative in all the treatments we do. It ranges from oral cancer screening to cavity detection with a laser, which finds decay that may not have been found until it starts to hurt. Involves digital X-rays, which are very low-radiation X-rays and very noninvasive. We do a lot of photography at our initial visits that helps us magnify any area of the mouth that we need to see in order to catch things much earlier.
So the general dental part of our practice is geared towards being very preventive and very conservative in nature in any way we can.
Our general dental services will:
- Prevent small problems from becoming larger and more expensive ones
- Keep your teeth looking great so you can smile confidently
- Improve the health of your mouth and the rest of your body too
- Protect your smile from injuries and other kinds of damage
- Relieve unpleasant conditions like dry mouth and halitosis (bad breath)
To make an appointment for a dental exam or other general dental care, call us today at 610-227-6143. Dental exams are covered by our in-house membership plan.

There’s a lot of truth to the old saying about an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure, especially when it comes to dentistry. If your teeth are cavity-free, you won’t need a filling or dental crown “>dental crown to fix the damage. To keep your teeth in top shape, we offer:
- Dental Exams – Our dentists look for evidence of cavities, gum disease, and other problems so we can treat them in their earliest stages.
- Dental Cleanings – We remove plaque from all of your teeth surfaces, including areas like your back teeth that are hard to reach with a brush and floss at home.
- Gum Disease Treatment – If our dentists find evidence of gum disease, we’ll treat it with a deep cleaning procedure and/or Perio Protect, an antibiotic treatment you use at home.
- Mouthguards – If you play sports, we can fit you for a custom mouthguard to protect your smile from athletic injuries.
