• DENTAL SEALANTS

  Would you like extra protection against cavities for your teeth or your child’s teeth? Ask Dr. Robert Mansell about dental sealants in Abington, Pennsylvania. Sealants are painted over the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to shield them from decay. For more information and to schedule your next visit with our dentist, contact our office at 215-884-1668 today. A sealant is a preventive dental treatment that our dentist may recommend to protect your teeth from decay. A dental sealant is made of a clear or tooth-colored resin material, which is painted onto the chewing surface of the tooth. By blocking out the bacteria and food debris that lead to tooth decay, the sealant prevents decay and cavities. The dental sealant forms a smooth surface over the natural pits and grooves of the tooth surface, which also makes it easier to effectively clean your teeth with normal brushing. Dental sealants are most often recommended for children; our dentist frequently recommends sealants for the permanent molars as soon as they come in, which is usually between the ages of 6 and 12 years. We may also recommend dental sealants for adult patients whose teeth are prone to decay or for teeth that have not been restored or suffered from decay in the past. We can apply dental sealants in just one short, comfortable visit to our practice. Sealants can be a powerful tool in preventing decay and keeping your smile healthy. To learn more about dental sealants and how we can keep your smile in good health, we welcome you to call or visit our office today.

• DIGITAL X-RAYS

  When you come to Robert J. Mansell Dental for your routine appointment, we may take digital X-rays. These images allow our dentist to examine your oral cavity, including the tooth roots, more thoroughly. To learn more about digital X-rays in Abington, Pennsylvania, and to schedule a visit, contact our office at 215-884-1668 today. Digital X-rays are one of the advanced diagnostic tools we use to provide you with the best possible care. Digital radiography has changed the way we take dental X-rays by making the process faster, more comfortable, and more convenient than ever before. Digital X-rays use a digital sensor to take images of your teeth, unlike traditional X-rays that use film. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than conventional film X-rays, and they require the use of no chemicals for developing the images. Our dentist can then instantly view the high-quality images on monitors right in the treatment room to provide you with efficient, accurate diagnoses and care. Our team is able to use digital radiography to identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as: Decay in between teeth Developmental abnormalities Improper tooth root positioning Cysts and abscesses Fractures in existing fillings Tumors Infection in the tooth nerves Bone loss We may also use digital dental X-rays to plan certain kinds of dental treatment, such as oral surgery procedures, root canal treatment, dental implants, and more. To learn more about digital radiography and how we use X-rays at our office, we welcome you to call or visit us soon.

• Snore Appliances

  If you tend to snore at night, our dentist may recommend a snoring appliance in Abington, Pennsylvania. This appliance can keep your airway open at night so that you can experience restful sleep. Feel free to contact Robert J. Mansell Dental at 215-884-1668 today to learn more and to schedule an appointment. Our caring dentist and dental team understand that many patients (and their partners) find snoring to be a common nighttime annoyance. Snoring is typically caused by obstructions in the airway, such as collapsing tissues in the throat, large tonsils, or your tongue rolling back in your throat. As your airway muscles relax during sleep, these tissues can narrow the upper airway and result in snoring. To ensure that you and your loved ones can sleep peacefully through the night, our dentist provides treatment for snoring. Our most common snoring treatment is oral appliance therapy. We will provide you with a custom-made oral appliance, which you wear only while you sleep. The snoring appliance works by ensuring that your airway stays open and free of obstructions while you sleep. This may be accomplished by preventing the tongue from rolling back or by holding your jaw in a position that prevents the airway tissues from collapsing. We will make certain that your custom snoring appliance fits effectively to minimize snoring and comfortably to allow you to sleep peacefully. If you snore frequently, we encourage you to contact our office today to learn more about snoring treatment and to schedule your next visit with our dentist. We are eager to care for you!

Extraction can protect the surrounding teeth from being compromised. We encourage you to contact Robert J. Mansell Dental at 215-884-1668 today to learn more and to set up an appointment. Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth.

Following the tooth extraction, we are happy to provide you with one of our excellent tooth replacement treatments, if needed, to restore your smile to optimal health, beauty, and function. Several conditions may necessitate tooth extraction.

  If you are missing most or all of your permanent teeth, Dr. Robert Mansell may suggest dentures in Abington, Pennsylvania. For your convenience, we offer both complete and partial dentures at our office. If you would like more information about dentures or to set up an appointment with our dentist, contact us at 215-884-1668 today. Dentures are removable oral appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. If you are missing several teeth or all of your teeth, dentures might be just what you need to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile. There are two kinds of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures. A complete denture is used to replace all of the teeth in a full dental arch. We may suggest a complete denture to replace all of the teeth in both arches or just one, depending on your individual needs. Our dentist may suggest using a denture adhesive for improved stability. A partial denture is used if you are missing multiple teeth but have remaining natural teeth. A partial denture often includes a thin framework or clasps that attach to the natural teeth for a secure fit. Our dentist may recommend complete or partial dentures to restore your smile if you are missing multiple teeth; dentures can improve your ability to properly speak and eat, restore your natural facial volume, and enhance the overall beauty of your smile.

• COMPOSITE DENTAL FILLINGS

  When a patient has a cavity, our dentist may place a dental filling in Abington, Pennsylvania. At Robert J. Mansell Dental, we offer tooth-colored composite dental fillings. This means that they can be matched to the shade of your natural teeth. We invite you to contact our office at 215-884-1668 today to learn more and to schedule your next appointment. A dental filling is a restoration used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage. We may recommend a filling if your tooth has been damaged by tooth decay (for example, if your tooth has a cavity), or if your tooth suffers from minor fracturing or chipping. The dental filling is used to restore the tooth to its original structure and function and to return your smile to good health. There are two main types of dental fillings available: amalgam fillings and composite fillings. The process for placing a filling requires just one comfortable visit to our office. Our dentist will first remove the decayed and damaged portion of your tooth, and then clean the tooth to remove all traces of decay. We then fill the tooth with the filling material and shape it to match your tooth’s shape. Finally, the filling is hardened for a lasting restoration. If your tooth is decayed or damaged, a dental filling may be a great choice for restoring your oral health and function.

• DENTAL BRIDGES

  Have you lost one or more permanent teeth? A dental bridge in Abington, Pennsylvania, may be recommended to replace the missing tooth or teeth. If you would like to learn more and to schedule a visit with our dentist, call Robert J. Mansell Dental at 215-884-1668 today. If you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration, meaning it is non-removable. The dental bridge is anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns, which are custom made to fit your smile and are placed on the teeth or dental implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your smile, ensuring that your restoration will not easily shift or come loose. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete the dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last for many years and to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile. Our dentist may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by: Restoring your ability to speak, eat, and chew as normal Alleviating excess stress on the bite Improving the shape and volume of your face Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture Preventing the remaining natural teeth from moving out of position Enhancing the appearance of your smile We will help you determine whether a custom dental bridge is the right choice for restoring your smile after tooth loss.

• DENTAL CROWNS

  When a tooth has suffered from too much decay to be restored with a dental filling, our dentist may recommend a dental crown in Abington, Pennsylvania. Your dental crown will be custom-made so that it can best help your smile. To learn more and to set up an appointment, call Robert J. Mansell Dental today at 215-884-1668. A dental crown, or cap, is a restoration that can be used for a number of purposes. One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed. The crown is custom made to fit over the entire tooth, starting at the gum line, in order to restore the tooth to its original shape and size. Dental crowns can be made of gold, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal; porcelain crowns are popular because they match the natural color and appearance of your teeth. Our dentist will help you determine which type of dental crown is right for your smile. Your smile may benefit from a crown if a tooth is damaged or decayed to the point that a dental filling will not provide a successful restoration. Crowns can also be used for a number of other restorative and aesthetic purposes, including: To protect a tooth following root canal treatment To anchor and attach a dental bridge To cover and complete a dental implant To enhance the beauty of your smile To improve a misshapen tooth To strengthen a tooth that is fractured or weakened To support a large filling when little natural tooth structure remains To find out whether a dental crown is right for you, we welcome you to contact us today!

• ROOT CANAL THERAPY

  If a tooth becomes infected, a root canal in Abington, Pennsylvania, may be necessary. During root canal therapy, Dr. Robert Mansell will remove the infection from the tooth. This can save the tooth from extraction. We welcome you to contact our office today at 215-884-1668 to learn more and to schedule a visit with our dentist. Commonly called a root canal, root canal treatment is a type of endodontic therapy that is often recommended if the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged. This may occur if injury or decay reaches deep into the tooth, past the outer enamel layer. When left untreated, this type of infection and disease may cause the tooth to die and necessitate tooth extraction. To restore the health of the tooth and avoid the need for extraction, our skilled dentist will remove the infected and injured tissues from within the tooth, clean the tooth, and fill it with a medicated material. We will then cap the tooth with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to return the tooth to its original shape and structure. In most cases, a root canal can be completed in only one or two comfortable visits to our office. Root canal treatment has a reputation for being a painful treatment. In reality, however, root canal treatment can often be completed with minimal discomfort thanks to advanced techniques, tools, and anesthesia. Our dentist, along with our entire dental team, works hard to provide you with a pleasant, comfortable experience each time you visit our office. To learn more about root canal treatment, we welcome you to contact us today. We are committed to restoring your smile’s health.
