Implant Restoration

Dental implants help patients regain the freedom that comes with having strong, healthy teeth. No longer do patients have to cope with their denture slipping or difficulties in speaking. Many people have experienced dentures that start to slip and wobble, causing pain and discomfort. And when the jawbone does not have teeth, it shrinks and recedes, creating a sunken look around the mouth. Dental implants fuse permanently in the jaw, strengthening the jawbone to the denture and improving the bite. With three years of advanced, post-doctoral training in prosthodontics and periodontics, Dr. Tobey will fashion Dental implants to give you a beautiful, natural looking smile. If you’re considering dental implants, the restorative dentistry office of Dr. Tobey in the Philadelphia and Cherry Hill-area should be your first choice.

Mini Implants

Many denture patients experience frequent slipping, discomfort and pain that prevent them from enjoying smiling or eating. With three years of advanced, post-doctoral training in prosthodontics and periodontics, Dr. Tobey uses mini dental implants to secure dentures in place, allowing his patients the freedom that comes with being able to chew, speak, and smile with control and confidence. If you would like to discuss mini implants, or other restorative dentistry options, contact Dr. Tobey today to set up a free consultation.

Full-mouth Restoration

By combining several cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures, Dr. Tobey is able to provide his patients with a customized treatment plan that address the full range of their dental needs.

Invisalign®

Many patients who have misaligned teeth don’t have them straightened because they want to avoid having to wear metal braces. Fortunately for these patients, Invisalign® offers a revolutionary and virtually invisible way to straighten teeth. Invisalign® uses a series of clear, plastic aligners that are precisely fitted to your teeth. By replacing the aligners every two weeks and visiting with Dr. Tobey every 4 to 6 weeks, we are able to straighten your teeth gradually and comfortably.  To find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign®, contact Dr. Tobey’s restorative dentistry practice in the Philadelphia area today.

Dental Bridges

By replacing one or more missing teeth with a dental bridge, Dr. Tobey is able to provide his patients with replacement teeth that look and feel natural. The replacement teeth in a dental bridge are placed between two porcelain crowns. These crowns are then cemented to attach them to the natural teeth on either side of a gap. With his expertise in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, Dr. Tobey can precisely match the color of both the replacement teeth and the porcelain crowns to your surrounding teeth. By replacing missing teeth with dental bridges, you are able to prevent biting disorders and speech problems. Dental bridges are cemented and cannot be removed by hand and can last as long as ten years. If you’re interested in dental bridges, contact Dr. Tobey for a consultation. With three years of advanced, post-doctoral training in prosthodontics and periodontics, he is the one to see!

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, also known as caps, completely cover a tooth that has become worn or decayed. By completely covering a tooth with a natural-looking all-ceramic crown, Dr. Tobey is able to protect a weak tooth from breaking or help to hold together a cracked tooth. Dental crowns also restore the shape of already broken teeth that have been worn down. If you think you might be interested in porcelain dental crowns, contact Dr. Tobey’s restorative dentistry practice, serving the greater Philadelphia area. Dr. Tobey can thoroughly review your dental health and determine if crowns would be right for you.

Whether you’re in need of full dentures, partial dentures, a removal bridge, or would like your current dentures repaired, Dr. Tobey is the expert to contact. Reach us today for a consultation.

Periodontal Care

Having completed three years of advanced post-doctorate training in periodontics and prosthodontics, Dr. Tobey is an expert in the treatment of gum disease. Gum disease is characterized by bleeding, swelling, redness, gum recession and other factors. If you believe you have gum disease or would simply like a checkup with a restorative dentistry specialist, contact Dr. Tobey today to schedule a periodontal screening.

Scaling and Root Planing

This procedure attacks the plaque and tartar that cause gum disease and tooth loss. With proper care, scaling and root planing help give patients healthy teeth and gums for years to come. This non -surgical procedure involves the careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and tartar from pockets created by gum disease. And, by smoothing the tooth root, gums are able to reattach, lessening the likelihood of receding gums.

Periodontal Surgery

Pocket Reduction

Gum disease destroys tissue, resulting in pockets around the teeth. Over time, these pockets become deeper and become the home of more and more bacteria. If left untreated, the resulting bone and tissue loss may mean the tooth will need to be extracted. Dr. Tobey’s pocket reduction procedure is a periodontal dentistry option that gives patients a better chance of having healthy teeth for life.

Gum Recontouring

If your teeth appear too short, or your smile looks too “gummy,” you may simply have too much of your gums covering your teeth. With cosmetic gum recontouring, Dr. Tobey is able to shape the gums so that they are in proportion with your teeth by using a laser that immediately seals the tissue. Gum recontouring is safe and comfortable with a fast recovery time.

Take a look at the impressive results Dr. Tobey has achieved with gum recontouring. Contact his restorative dentistry practice in the Philadelpia area to schedule a consultation, and discover what gum recontouring can do for your smile!

Soft Tissue Grafts

Gum recession can expose tooth roots, making teeth appear too long and causing sensitivity to hot and cold. Soft tissue grafts cover the tooth root and prevent further recession and bone loss. Dr. Tobey can perform a procedure in which gum tissue is taken from your palate, or from a medical hospital, and used to surgically cover the exposed root. Patients who undergo soft tissue grafts experience both functional and cosmetic benefits.

General

Extractions

Excessive decay, gum disease and trauma are just a few of the reasons that a tooth might need to be removed. At Dr. Tobey’s general, cosmetic and restorative dentistry office, located in the Philadelphia area, you can have a tooth removed and discuss your options for replacement.

Dr. Tobey’s office is conveniently accessible to residents of Philadelphia, Wayne, Ardmore, Wynnewood, Gladwyne, Cherry Hill and the Mid-Atlantic states. We offer dental implant restorations, full and partial dentures and bridges.

Nightguards

“Bruxism” is the term used to describe the grinding of teeth and is a condition that affects many people, particularly at night when they sleep. A custom-made nightguard can prevent damage to your teeth as well as irritation and inflammation of the joint of the jaw. We also make a clear dayguard for special cases which are very aesthetic and can be worn all day, if needed.

Fresh Breath Care

Bad breath, or halitosis, is a common problem. There are many professional solutions now available to treat this problem. Bad breath can be caused by decay and periodontal disease. Dr. Tobey can improve these problem areas and use professional bacteria fighting treatments to help solve, and not just cover up, bad breath. If you are interested in fresh breath care at the general, cosmetic and restorative dentistry office of Dr. Tobey, contact us today.

Snoring Prevention Help

Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are commonly occurring conditions that trouble many people. If you or someone you love snores, Dr. Tobey will discuss your options for treatment.
