Dr. Drew Shulman offers a range of dental services for patients of all ages. Whether you need a routine cleaning, a mouthguard, or help with a dental emergency, our team is ready to assist you. Dr. Shulman’s office in Northeast Philadelphia provides all the dental care you need to keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright.
General Dentistry Services
At our Philadelphia dental office, we offer a variety of preventive dental services. From routine cleanings to emergency care, our goal is to keep your smile healthy. Below is a look at some of the services we offer:
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are a quick and easy way to repair teeth with decay or damage. In one visit, we can remove the decay and fill the tooth to prevent further problems. We use modern white fillings that match the color of your natural teeth. This means your filling will blend in and give you a long-lasting, natural look.
If you have older metal fillings that are damaged or that you’d like to replace, we can help with that too. White fillings are a great way to keep your teeth looking great while preventing future decay. To learn more about our white composite fillings to prevent further tooth decay, see Dental Fillings.
Emergency Dentistry
Accidents happen, and when they do, our office is here to help with emergency dental care. If you have a knocked-out tooth, severe pain, or any other dental emergency, call us right away. We will try to see you the same day.
If you are dealing with a lot of pain or bleeding that won’t stop, you should contact your doctor or go to the emergency room.
If you have a knocked out or broken tooth, place it in a sealed container with milk or saliva and bring it with you to our office as soon as possible. To learn more about how Dr. Shulman can help you through an emergency, see Emergency Dentistry.
Family Dentistry
Dr. Shulman provides dental care for patients of all ages, making our office a great place for families. We know how to help kids feel comfortable at the dentist and teach them how to keep their smiles healthy.
We offer check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to help protect young teeth from decay. With our family-focused care, we make it easy for everyone in your family to get the dental care they need. To learn more about our family dental care services, see Family Dentistry.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry uses light beams instead of traditional dental tools. This advanced option can be used for many treatments, including teeth whitening, gum treatments, and even removing decayed tissue.
Lasers offer several benefits, like less bleeding, less trauma to surrounding tissue, and a more comfortable experience. It’s a great option for patients who are nervous about dental tools or have dental anxiety. To learn more about our laser dental treatments, see Laser Dentistry.
Custom Mouthguards
If you play contact sports, wearing a mouthguard can protect your teeth from damage. We create custom mouthguards that fit your mouth better than ones you can buy in stores. A custom fit means more protection and comfort while playing sports.
We also offer custom mouthguards for patients who have special needs, like joint pain or an overactive gag reflex. To learn more about our mouthguard services, see Mouthguard.
Root Canal Treatment
When a tooth has a deep infection or decay, it may need a root canal to save it. A root canal treatment cleans out the inside of the tooth, removing infected tissue and nerves. After cleaning, the dentist seals the tooth to protect it. Many people think root canals are painful, but they are actually no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.
A root canal can help save a tooth from removal and relieve pain caused by infection. To learn how we can restore normal function to your affected tooth and relieve any pain or discomfort that you have, see Root Canal.
Sedation Dentistry
For patients who feel nervous about going to the dentist, sedation can help make the visit more comfortable. Sedation dentistry is a great option for those with dental anxiety, a fear of dental tools, or general stress about dental visits.
Dr. Shulman offers oral-conscious sedation, which is medication taken by mouth to help you relax, and nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. These options help you feel calm and comfortable during your treatment. To learn about the sedation options that we can provide you, see Sedation Dentistry.
Tooth Extraction
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, a tooth cannot be saved and needs to be removed. This is often the case with severely decayed or damaged teeth that a root canal can’t fix. We also provide wisdom teeth removal for patients whose third molars are causing problems, like pain or crowding other teeth.
Tooth extractions are always a last resort, and we will do everything we can to save your tooth before recommending removal. To learn more about our tooth removal services, see Tooth Extraction.
