A Healthier Smile Starts Here: Family Dental Care
Dillon Family Dentistry recognizes that each family has different requirements when it comes to dental treatment.

Since 1992, we have delivered compassionate and honest dental treatment to families throughout Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. From your child’s very first visit for their routine cleaning or before placing a crown or performing root canal therapy, you can depend on all your visits to be comfortable, informative, and valuable.
We at Dillon Family Dentistry understand that to treat dental disease effectively, we must also prevent it through education and develop long-term relationships with every patient based upon trust. Every patient receives one-on-one personal service from staff members who are well-trained in providing quality care. That is our Dillon Difference!

Why Family Dental Care Matters More Than You Think
Most people only go to the dentist when they have a problem (pain). By this time, there could be much damage that may cost more than if you had come in for a regular dental check-up.
Regrettable enough, the fact is that dental health and whole body health are highly correlated.
Many systemic medical conditions have been shown to have a correlation between untreated periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease, complications of diabetes, and others. If unchecked, decayed teeth not only hurt but can also require removal and lead to infections and costly procedures in the future.
Our family practice will see patients of all ages, from toddlers to grandparents, and help maintain a lifetime of a healthier smile by providing routine preventative oral health care before any problems arise.

We offer a full range of dental services under one roof, so your whole family never has to bounce between providers.
Teeth Cleaning & Preventive Maintenance
At Dillon Family Dentistry, we don’t use a cookie-cutter approach to routine teeth cleaning and preventative care, which are key aspects of general dentistry in Bryn Mawr. Instead, we personalize each appointment based on your individual periodontal health (i.e., the health of your gums and bone supporting the teeth) so that you can receive the most beneficial cleaning possible.
Ultrasonic scalers are often used by our general dentists for efficient and comfortable cleanings. Also, our high-tech polishing procedure removes any surface stains and plaque from the teeth while also adding shine to the tooth surface. In addition, we perform regular check-ups and mandatory digital X-rays to help find potential problems before they become larger issues.
Fluoride Treatment
As one of the safest and most efficacious agents for prevention in dentistry, fluoride has been researched for several decades. We offer fluoride applications for both children and adults who are considered to be at high risk of developing cavities.
A variety of fluoride types may be suggested based on your level of risk. This could include professionally applied gels and varnishes, mouthwashes with fluoride, or dietary supplements if your child does not receive enough fluoride from their drinking water. For our patients who are prone to developing cavities, the use of fluoride supplements has revolutionized their ability to be cavity-free between visits to our office.
Dental Sealants
Young people are very susceptible to tooth decay (cavity formation) due to the difficulty of accessing the grooves of the back teeth (molars). Sealants are a very thin coating made out of plastic that is placed directly on the chewing surfaces of these teeth to provide a barrier to food and bacteria that cause tooth decay.
The sealants that we use are made from high-quality, durable materials and will provide many years of protection from dental decay. This is a quick, painless procedure that can help improve your child’s dental health in the future.
Localized Antibiotic Therapy
Surgery isn’t the first treatment we think of when treating periodontal (gum) disease; instead, when it’s clinically appropriate, we recommend localized antibiotic therapy, which means using antibiotics only where they are needed. This allows for the delivery of powerful antibiotics directly to the infected area without exposing you to systemic antibiotics that may cause general complications, such as gastrointestinal distress.
We believe that localized antibiotics are an effective and more patient-friendly option for treating periodontal (gum) disease. In addition to being more patient-friendly, our commitment to helping patients achieve healthy mouths through conservative dentistry and gentle dental care shows that we value our patients’ health and comfort.
Root Canal Therapy (Endodontic Treatment)
Root canal treatments can unfortunately be misrepresented as painful procedures; however, that is not true! Today’
