General Dentistry

Paoli PA Dentist

Lenker Dental is a family-owned and operated practice that serves the Paoli community with comprehensive dental care.

General dentistry services include:

Root canals

A root canal procedure, or endodontic treatment, is necessary when the tissue inside the tooth’s root becomes infected or inflamed. This can happen for many reasons including decay, repeated dental work on the same tooth, or cracks or chips in the tooth. Much of the pain people experience when a root canal procedure is needed is due to the pain caused by untreated inflammation and infection. This is why it’s critical to get endodontic issues resolved promptly.

Fillings

A filling helps restore a tooth’s function after it has been damaged by decay. When you receive a filling at Lenker Dental, our dental team will remove the decayed part of the tooth, clean the area, then fill the cavity. When you visit us for your bi-annual exam, we will be sure to check for cavities and let you know if a filling is necessary. It is a very common procedure.

Oral cancer screenings

Lenker Dental wants to ensure that your oral health is in optimal shape which is why we offer oral cancer screenings at exam appointments. We will evaluate the health of your mouth, gums and tongue and note any abnormalities that should be further examined. Early diagnosis is key to effective treatment, which is why it is so important to visit the dentist at least every six months.

Night guards

If you find yourself grinding or clenching your teeth at night, we may recommend getting fit for a night guard. We will custom-fit a night guard specifically for you to be worn when sleeping and with comfort.

NTIs

An NTI is similar to a mouth guard but smaller in shape in that it only covers the front teeth. It is used to train your muscles to relax so that teeth clenching subsides. If you suffer from migraines, an NTI may be an ideal solution.
