We accept most major dental insurance plans. Our knowledgeable staff will help you maximize your benefits and file claims on your behalf. If you don't have insurance, we also offer in-house preventive plans starting at $129/year. Visit our Special Offers page to learn more.

We combine advanced technology — including Same-Day CEREC Crowns, Waterlase laser dentistry, and 3D CBCT scanning — with a warm, patient-first approach. We offer late evening hours, accept most insurances, provide senior and veteran discounts, and even offer Facial Esthetics services all under one roof. Our experienced team is committed to making every visit comfortable and stress-free.

You can book in three easy ways: call (215) 638-3350, email smiles4ubensalem@gmail.com, or fill out our online Appointment Request Form. We confirm appointments promptly.

Please bring a valid photo ID, your dental insurance card (if applicable), a list of current medications, and any completed patient forms from our Downloads page. Arriving 10–15 minutes early is recommended.

A routine cleaning and exam typically takes 45–60 minutes. More complex procedures such as Same-Day Crowns or dental implant consultations may take 1–2 hours. When you book, our team will give you an accurate time estimate so you can plan your day accordingly.

We kindly ask that you give us at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows us to offer the slot to another patient in need. To reschedule, simply call us at (215) 638-3350 and we will find a new time that works for you.

We provide Preventive Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Implants, Invisalign & Glidewell Clear Aligners, Root Canal Treatment, Oral Surgery, Same-Day Crowns, Waterlase Laser Dentistry, 3D CBCT Scanning, Teeth Whitening, Dentures, and Nitrous Oxide Sedation — plus a full Facial Esthetics menu.

Same-Day Crowns use CEREC technology to design, mill, and place a permanent ceramic crown in a single visit — no temporaries or second appointments. A digital scan is taken, the crown is custom-milled in our office, then bonded, typically within 1–2 hours. Learn more on our Same-Day Crowns page.

Waterlase replaces the traditional drill for many procedures. Most patients experience little to no discomfort, and anesthesia is often not required. It is ideal for patients with dental anxiety or needle sensitivity. Read more on our Waterlase page.

Yes. We offer both Invisalign and Glidewell Clear Aligners to straighten teeth discreetly without metal braces. A free consultation is available to determine which option best fits your smile and lifestyle. Visit our Glidewell Clear Aligners page for details.

Yes. We offer Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) sedation for patients who experience dental anxiety or fear. It is safe, fast-acting, and wears off quickly so you can drive home after your visit. Our team is dedicated to making every appointment as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Nitrous oxide is one of the safest and most widely used forms of sedation in pediatric dentistry. It is delivered through a small nose mask, takes effect within minutes, and wears off completely once the mask is removed. Our pediatric-trained team adjusts the dosage carefully for each child's age and weight.

Yes. Unlike IV or oral sedation, nitrous oxide clears from your system within minutes after the mask is removed. Most patients feel completely normal within 5–10 minutes and can safely drive themselves home. You do not need to arrange a designated driver for nitrous oxide appointments.

We understand dental fear is very real, and our compassionate team is trained to handle even the most anxious patients. Beyond nitrous oxide, we offer a calm, judgment-free environment, thorough explanations before each step, and a signal system so you can pause treatment anytime. Please let us know your concerns when booking so we can prepare accordingly.

We offer Botox (cosmetic and therapeutic TMJ relief), Laser Hair Removal, V30 Skin Treatments, and Préime DermaFacial — a 5-in-1 non-invasive facial therapy device. All services are available for all skin types. Visit our Facial Esthetics section to learn more.

Botox results typically last between 3–6 months, depending on the treatment area, dosage, and individual metabolism. Many patients return for maintenance sessions every 4 months to preserve their results. Our trained clinician will discuss a personalized treatment plan during your free consultation.

Yes. Our FDA-approved laser hair removal system is designed to work safely and effectively on all skin types, including darker skin tones. The treatment targets hair follicles without damaging surrounding skin. A patch test is performed before a full session to ensure the best and safest results for your skin. Learn more on our Laser Hair Removal page.

The Préime DermaFacial is a SMART 5-in-1 device that combines Aqua B hydration, Vibrox microdermabrasion, MicroT skin tightening, Collagen+ stimulation, and Ultra8 transdermal absorption in a single session. Most clients see visible improvement after just one session, with optimal results achieved in a series of 4–6 treatments. Learn more on our Préime DermaFacial page.

For the first 24–48 hours after an extraction: avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, or spitting forcefully as these can dislodge the blood clot and cause dry socket. Stick to soft foods, avoid hot liquids, and take any prescribed pain medication as directed. If you experience severe pain or swelling after 3 days, call our office immediately.

For the first 48 hours after whitening, avoid dark-coloured foods and beverages (coffee, tea, red wine, berries), tobacco products, and highly acidic foods. Brush gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush and use a sensitivity toothpaste if needed. With our Zoom Whitening take-home kit, you'll receive a lifetime refill to maintain your bright smile long-term.

Contact us right away if you experience any of the following: bleeding that does not stop after 30 minutes of gentle pressure, severe or worsening pain not relieved by over-the-counter medication, signs of infection (swelling, fever, bad taste/odor), a loose or dislodged crown or filling, or any unexpected reaction to medication. We are available by phone for urgent post-procedure questions.
