Whether you are fearful of dentistry treatment, have dental visit anxieties, dentist phobias or want to experience complete oral health efficiently, Total Confidence Dentistry can help you.

Total Confidence Dentistry in West Chester, PA provides patients with the vitally important service of endodontic treatment also known as root canal therapy. It ends pain while preserving natural teeth. Many toothaches are caused by root damage.

Dr. Schreiber, a general dentist, who emphasizes root canal therapy, works in our office, which also offers oral and Intravenous (I. V.) sedation dentistry. He has developed a proficient and methodical approach that is both healthfully successful as well as more affordable than most other dental offices, locally and in the region (NJ, NY, DE, MD) .

Recurring infection is significantly reduced and the need for another root canal is eliminated. Basically our dental patients save money on the front end and also because return, redo visits are avoided.

While not a specialist in this specialized treatment, Dr. Schreiber's knowledge and background in endodontics is thoroughly documented by the 800-1000 successful and comfortable root canal procedures he performs each year.

When patients have oral pain, swollen, throbbing gums, a discolored tooth (compared to adjacent teeth) or a toothache, and are looking for dentists or specialists in the Philadelphia area, they should make sure these elements of dental care are covered:

1) Dental Care Diligence: Thoroughly cleaning out canal debris and sealing the tooth root is critical. This attention to detail has a positive tradeoff, which can be lifelong health rejuvenation rather than re-infection and costly and time consuming return visits. Saving the natural tooth with root canal therapy has an extended and expanded level of value.

2) Emphasis On Failure Avoidance: Many more root canal compromised teeth can be treated successfully with the proper approach. To avoid endodontic treatment failure, a focused awareness of the tooth anatomy and a more exacting level of care are required. The likelihood of saving teeth with a root canal is greatly increased when these methods are combined.

3) Ending Chronic Inconvenience: Total Confidence Dentistry Team member Dr. Schreiber knows getting it right the first time is vital. Poor treatment can cause chronic abscesses, requiring more expensive re-treatment. Another visit could create costly inconvenience for the patient (missing work, etc.) . Too many times this means distressing tooth loss as well. Unfortunately, the more expensive, re-treated root canals are also known to be less successful, even with the best approach in the most skillful hands.

4) Scientific, Evidence-Based Treatment: After having treated thousands of teeth, Dr. Schreiber has found that about 80% of first upper molars (teeth #3 and #14) have 4 canals instead of the previously expected 3 canals. Four canals, is now the accepted number in endodontic literature and other journals for these teeth. It is important that dentists look for all four root canals and treat them when appropriate, otherwise, discomfort and re-infection of the tooth can occur.

Dental Implants - Rejuventated Appearance and Enhanced Oral Health.

As a dentist focused on comprehensive oral health, Dr. Briglia and Peridontist John Nikas of Total Confidence Dentistry often recommend implant dentistry because of its potential more fully enhance the well being of her patients.

Whether implants are needed to support dentures, replace missing teeth or for a complete oral health and smile appearance makeover, she has the training, skills and dental team assembled to achieve your goals.

West Chester and Philadelphia area residents are able to live life to the fullest with advanced restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Single or multiple implants or implant-supported dentures are a superb alternative to adhesive dentures, partials or crown & bridge dentistry.

Missing Teeth Speed Up Dental Health Decline
When someone is missing many teeth or even one tooth, oral health can collapse much more abruptly. Nearby teeth wear down more quickly and break more often. Dental disease spreads faster. Bone structure deteriorates and shrinks.

Besides a decline in health, bone structure changes also produce an unappealing facial outcome: the jaw shrivels up, prematurely 'aging' the face.

While treatments like traditional dentures and crown bridge dentistry help improve some aspects of this oral decline, dental implants provide comprehensive results. Implant specialist, Dr. Nikas and the Total Confidence Dentistry is able to achieve a lifelike, long-term and youthful result with this advanced tooth replacement treatment.

Additionally, dental implants have a unique health benefit: they preserve the natural tooth structure. The reason: adjacent healthy teeth are not ground down (no bridge is needed which is anchored with crowns to perfectly health teeth on either side of the missing tooth) .

Dr. Nika's specialist training, many years of experience, treatment expertise, and caring style offers patients with the confidence to proceed. The Total Confidence Dentistry team including Dr. Briglia perform detailed assessments and use advanced technology to diagnose each patient's needs to plan their individualized treatments.

As a specialist, Dr. John Nikas will precisely perform the implantation.

NOTE: Dr. Briglia is certified in oral or I. V. sedation provided.

After the implant has healed and is ready to be restored, Dr. Briglia will place a natural looking porcelain crown over the implant to achieve a lifelike smile makeover result.

Getting regular dental exams ensures optimum oral health. Exams provide opportunities for early detection of serious dental problems and development of a comprehensive dental treatment plan to address any issues, including restorative and cosmetic procedures.

As we age, we produce less saliva, which works to prevent bacteria in the mouth. Teeth may develop a gray or yellow hue, and the older we get, the likelihood of oral diseases, such as periodontal (gum) disease increases. Early detection and treatment prevents oral health problems from spreading and becoming serious, and early treatments are more likely to keep long-term costs down.

At the same time, children and young adults need regular exams to check for proper dental health maintenance, cavities, and other common oral health problems.

Patients should get a full dental exam every six months. Your dental exam appointment is also an ideal time to schedule a professional cleaning.

Dental Exams

Studies show that good oral health contributes to general physical health, which is why taking care of your teeth and gums is essential to your overall well-being.

A dental exam includes a visual examination of your teeth and gums to check for damage, deterioration, cracks, and decay as well as sores or growths that may be present within your mouth.

The exam also includes a full set of X-rays, which help the dentist detect any problems below the gums or within the tooth structure. Early detection is critical in preventing serious oral health problems in the future, which, in most cases, will be costly to treat.

Regular dental exams offer a number of health benefits:

Prevention or early detection of oral cancer and/or gum disease
Good overall physical and oral health maintenance
Keep teeth healthy, white, and intact and prevent bad breath
Once the exam is completed, your dentist can make recommendations for the best options in repairing or restoring any problem areas. At this time, you will work with the dental team to establish your treatment plan.

Treatment Plan

A treatment plan ensures that any problems discovered during your exam are addressed in the most effect manner possible. The dental team will review your oral health status with you and make recommendations for treatments, procedures, and your home routine.

Enjoy a Healthier, More Confident Smile

Regular dental exams and professional dental cleanings along with good home regimen are essential for preventing cavities, plaque buildup, gum disease, and other serious oral health problems.
