- Dental ExaminationThe treatments that one can expect from general dentistry visits vary depending on how much time has elapsed since the previous visit, the condition of the teeth and gums, and other factors. Patients can typically expect professional teeth cleaning, removing of plaque or tartar, and an oral examination. If Dr. Silvers decides it would be in your best interests, he may take an X-Ray for a more thorough inspection of your dental health.
- Teeth Cleaning
- Fillings
- VeneersIf you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile due to unsightly or conspicuous cracks, chips, discoloration, or gaps between teeth, you can take action to correct these minor flaws. At the Harrisburg office of Silvers Family Dental Care, we offer porcelain veneers to help our patients revitalize their smiles. These cosmetic dental prosthetics – wafer-thin, tooth-shaped shells made from porcelain – can be used to create beautiful, straight, vibrant smiles, and the placement procedure is minimally invasive so there is little to no risk associated with the treatment. For many individuals, veneers are all that is required to help them realize their cosmetic goals – if your teeth and gum tissue are healthy but there are small imperfections that you would like addressed, the odds are good that porcelain veneers can solve your problems.
- Crowns• Placing a Temporary Restoration – To protect your teeth while your permanent restoration is being fabricated, and to ensure that you enjoy full functionality while you wait to receive your crown or bridge, temporary prosthetics will be secured to the teeth to act as placeholders. A temporary dental boding agent will be used for the placement of your interim restorations so that they can be easily removed.
- BridgesThe placement procedure for dental crowns and bridges is very similar. Both individual crowns and dental bridges are anchored to existing teeth; in the case of a crown, only the affected tooth need be modified, while in the case of dental bridges, the teeth surrounding an existing gap must be modified to secure the bridge in place. Whether you are having a dental crown or bridge placed, expect to visit our Harrisburg practice on several occasions over the course of your treatment, as the placement process involves the following steps...
- Dental BondingPlacing the Permanent Veneers – Once the permanent restorations are complete, you will return to our Harrisburg dental office to have your porcelain veneers placed. The temporary restorations will be removed and your permanent replacements set. Once the fit has been perfected and finalized, the veneers will be secured to the teeth with a dental bonding agent. This resin is then hardened with a special dental lamp, allowing for a quick set.
- Restorative DentistryWhen teeth become damaged or missing, a person’s quality of life can become severely impacted. That’s why we offer restorative dentistry in our Harrisburg -based Silvers Family Dental Care. Dr. Silvers and the rest of our outstanding dental staff work tirelessly to give our patients the beautiful working smiles that they deserve. We only used advanced dental technology in our welcoming facility to ensure a satisfying, comfortable and safe experience.
- Root Canal TreatmentWe offer dental crowns and bridges at our Harrisburg office for a simple reason: they are highly effective, affordable, and attractive solutions for the treatment of damaged or missing teeth. Failing to properly treat damaged or missing teeth can severely affect both your oral and overall health: If you are missing a tooth, it can lead to malocclusion, as the teeth surrounding the gap will migrate over time to fill the void, which can lead to complications such as TMD and speech impairment; by comparison, a damaged tooth can impair the function and appearance of your smile and place you at greater risk for oral health complications such as periodontitis (gum disease) or an infected root canal. With dental crowns and bridges, the team at our Harrisburg dental office can prevent these conditions from occurring, alleviate or eliminate symptoms related to the impairment, and restore the health, function, and appearance of your smile.

- Tooth Extractions
- OrthodonticsIn many cases, an otherwise healthy smile can be marred by what are purely cosmetic imperfections. In such cases, the ideal solution is one that corrects these aesthetic flaws while having little to no impact on the health of the teeth and gum tissue. Porcelain veneers provide such a solution; the treated teeth are slightly modified to receive the dental prosthetics, but the overall structure and foundation of the teeth are left unchanged. These qualities make porcelain veneers a practical solution, as well as an attractive alternative to treatments such as orthodontics or dental crowns. Among the flaws that can be corrected by porcelain veneers include...
