Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can be used to address all kinds of problems with your teeth, from badly weakened dental structure to large cracks. Each crown is made to completely cover the tooth in order to protect it from further harm while also providing it with additional strength. Our team can offer metal crowns made from alloys such as nickel, silver, and gold. We can also provide ceramic crowns that match the appearance of your natural teeth.

Dental Bridges
If you have lost a tooth, you don’t want to leave the gap empty for too long; otherwise, your remaining teeth may start to shift out of place. Our team can often replace a single tooth or multiple consecutive teeth with a dental bridge, which can be made by combining a pair of dental crowns with replacement teeth called pontics. We will anchor the bridge to your natural teeth in order to re-complete your grin.

Root Canal Therapy
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
- Significant, constant pain in the area of a specific tooth
- Discomfort that occurs when chewing on a certain side of the mouth
- Excessive oral sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Tooth discoloration
You may be in need of root canal therapy. Although Roots Canals have a negative connation, in fact Root Canal therapy is a highly successful procedure that restores health to severely damaged teeth and saves them from the threat of extraction. Dr. Simeone accesses the inside of the tooth and thoroughly cleans away bacteria. After sealing the area shut, a custom-made dental crown is placed over the tooth restoring the tooth’s full strength and function.

Dental Implant Placement
Whether it’s one tooth or several, losing part of your natural smile can have devastating consequences on your wellbeing. Simple activities such as eating and speaking become frustrating, and your self-confidence may shrink so much that it’s hard to look in the mirror. Our team’s goal is to give you back your quality of life, and we accomplish that with the power of dental implants. This revolutionary solution replicates the entire structure of your tooth for exceptional health and aesthetic benefits. In fact, the results are so extraordinary that our patients report forgetting its even there!
Adequate jawbone density and generally good oral health are prerequisites for most dental implant procedures. If they’re not met, additional procedures may be required first. At Chester County Dental Arts, we’re proud to offer both the placement and the restoration of your dental implants right here in-office, all under one roof! During the placement, one or more implants will be placed into your mouth. Patients then start the healing process during which the implant(s) gradually bond with the natural tissue and bone. This process called Osseo integration, creates a solid foundation for the replacement of the teeth.
Dental Implant Restoration Options
Once a patient has fully healed from the placement of their dental implants, it’ll be time to return to our dental office so Dr. Simeone can restore them. In cases of individual implants, a single, all-ceramic crown can rebuild lost structure in a conservative fashion, allowing nearby healthy teeth to remain virtually unscathed.
When a patient has experienced more extensive tooth loss, their options for restoration increase. While dental crowns can still be successfully used, the number of needed implants and restorations may be cost-prohibitive for many patients. Thankfully, implant-retained prosthetics provides the same lifelike results. This prosthetics closely resembles a traditional bridge or denture, but they’re designed to attach a small number of strategically placed implants within the jawbone. This creates a sturdier and more confident fit overall. Dr. Simeone offers both fixed and removable options depending on the patient’s personal needs and preferences. Call today to schedule your appointment with Dr. Simeone to see which options are best for you!
