Restoring Your Smile Can Change Your Life
Dr. Drew Shulman specializes in helping patients restore the health and function of their teeth. If you have missing or broken teeth, TMJ issues, tooth decay, discolored teeth, or general wear and tear, restorative dental treatments can bring back your smile. Our goal is to provide care that is both comfortable and natural-looking.
For patients who feel anxious about dental visits, Dr. Shulman offers sedation dentistry. He is one of the few dentists in the Philadelphia area certified to provide dental sedation. With over 125 hours of training as part of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS), he’s fully equipped to help ease your fears.
If you’ve been avoiding the dentist and want to improve the health and beauty of your smile, we’re here for you. We can create a stress-free experience using sedation to ensure you feel at ease.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Before starting any treatment, Dr. Shulman will perform a complete evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw, and muscles. This helps him find the root cause of the problem so he can offer a long-lasting solution. Whether it’s missing teeth, TMJ issues, or other dental problems, he will create a treatment plan designed for you.
For example, if you’re missing teeth, Dr. Shulman will check if you have enough bone to support dental implants. If you have a TMJ issue, he’ll work to find out what’s causing the pain and discomfort.
All dental restorations at our office are made to look natural. We use materials that match the color of your teeth so that the result blends in perfectly with your smile.
Restorative Dental Treatments
Here are some of the restorative treatments we offer:
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are often used after root canals to protect the tooth from further damage. Crowns are versatile and can be used in both cosmetic and restorative treatments. They can repair cracked teeth, hide stains, and strengthen weak teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the best solution for missing teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, implants can restore your smile. Implants can also support bridges and dentures. If you’ve lost teeth, dental implants offer a permanent way to restore both function and appearance.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are a traditional method for replacing missing teeth. They restore the structure and function of your teeth after tooth loss. A traditional bridge is supported by the surrounding teeth. We also offer implant-supported bridges, which provide a more secure and permanent solution.
Dentures & Partials
Dentures are another common option for replacing teeth, especially for seniors. Modern dentures are more comfortable and fit better than older models. Partials replace sections of missing teeth, making it easier to bite and chew. For a more permanent option, Dr. Shulman can attach dentures to dental implants.
Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal therapy treats gum disease, which can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. Dr. Shulman uses a tool called DIAGNOdent, which scans teeth for hidden decay. This allows him to catch and treat gum disease early, preventing it from spreading and causing more problems.
TMJ Treatment
If you have frequent headaches or jaw pain, you might have a TMJ disorder. TMJ refers to the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint becomes irritated, it can cause pain and discomfort. Without treatment, TMJ issues can lead to serious damage. Dr. Shulman offers evaluations and treatment options to help relieve TMJ pain.
