Being told you don't have enough bone for dental implants can feel discouraging. But that doesn't always mean there are no options to explore.

One of our patients came to Prime Dentistry with loose teeth after being told he lacked sufficient bone for implants.

Dr Shah and our team performed tooth extraction and bone grafting with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to prepare for future treatment.

And because we know how much a smile matters during healing, we provided a same-day temporary flipper.

The patient's reaction meant a lot to our team. He was very happy to have a smile he could feel comfortable showing while continuing his treatment journey.

If you have been told you may not have enough bone for an implant, call Prime Dentistry at (215) 742-1200 to discuss your options.

A chipped tooth and a knocked-out tooth do not carry the same level of urgency.

Severe tooth pain, significant swelling, a knocked-out or loose tooth, a broken tooth, an abscess, or a dental injury can all require prompt attention. The right next step depends on what happened and what your dentist finds during the examination.

Prime Dentistry offers same-day emergency visits when appropriate. We can evaluate the problem and determine what treatment you need.

If you are dealing with a dental problem that cannot wait, call us at (215) 742-1200.

A dental visit can feel a lot easier when you know you are in a caring, comfortable environment.

Erica shared how Angie welcomed her when she walked in, how gentle the X-ray process felt, and how Dr. Shah made her feel comfortable without judgment.

We are grateful she took the time to share her experience with our team. Thank you, Erica, for trusting Prime Dentistry! ❤️

A denture that no longer fits the way it used to deserves attention.

Changes in the mouth can affect how a denture fits and how comfortably you can eat and speak. A dentist can check the fit, the condition of the denture, and the tissues underneath it to determine what needs attention.

Prime Dentistry provides both full and partial dentures, along with implant-supported options for patients who may need additional support or stability.
If your denture feels loose, uncomfortable, or difficult to use, schedule an evaluation instead of simply putting up with it.

If you feel nervous about going to the dentist, tell us before we start.

Dental anxiety can make it harder to keep up with regular care, especially when someone has had an uncomfortable experience in the past. At Prime Dentistry, we want to know what makes you uncomfortable so we can discuss your concerns before treatment begins.

We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation for appropriate patients. Your dentist will determine which options may be suitable based on your treatment and health history.

You do not have to keep your dental anxiety to yourself. Let our team know what you need.

A filling can repair a damaged tooth, but it cannot replace a large amount of tooth structure that has already been lost.

When a tooth is badly damaged or weakened, a crown may be recommended to cover and protect what remains. The right treatment depends on how much healthy tooth structure is left and what caused the damage.

If you have been told that you need a crown, our team at Prime Dentistry can examine the tooth and explain why it may be recommended in your case.

October is National Dental Hygiene Month, so it is a good time to talk about something your toothbrush cannot do.

Once plaque hardens into tartar, brushing and flossing will not remove it. A professional cleaning is needed to remove that buildup from the teeth.

Regular cleanings also give our dental team a chance to check your teeth and gums and catch problems that may not be obvious at home.

If you are due for a cleaning, Prime Dentistry is here to help.
