Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth through surgically placed titanium posts that fuse with the jawbone. This option preserves facial structure and allows natural chewing function. Ideal for patients seeking durable, aesthetically pleasing results that mimic natural teeth.
Crowns
Crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth by covering them entirely with custom-fitted porcelain or metal-ceramic restorations. This procedure strengthens weakened teeth and improves appearance, lasting up to 15 years with proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments effectively remove stains caused by food, drinks, or smoking using advanced bleaching agents. This non-invasive procedure brightens smiles by several shades, offering both in-office and take-home options for patient convenience.
Dentures
Dentures replace missing teeth with removable acrylic prosthetics that restore chewing ability and facial aesthetics. Full or partial dentures are customized to fit comfortably, requiring adaptation periods for speech and eating but significantly improving quality of life.
Fillings
Tooth-colored composite fillings repair cavities by bonding directly to enamel, preserving more natural tooth structure than traditional amalgam. This mercury-free option matches surrounding teeth and typically lasts over a decade with proper maintenance.

Very pleased with my dental results. The staff is very professional and delightfully friendly. I felt at ease and in competent hands. Dr. Polis is the best dentist I've had, and I've had a few. Sweet person too!

Rene is a nice person and (of course) a very good dentist. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that her staff to a person are personable and friendly. In a word.professionals, one and all.

Simply put, I find Dr. Polis to be the best of the best! The Family Friendly Dental team associates are all caring, compassionate and knowledgeable technicians. I'm no stranger to the dentist chair, I've logged many, many hours in that chair over the years. Every time I relocated, finding a good dentist was a priority and always a challenge. and that's why I drive to a dentist 70 minutes away! It's the expert care provided by Family Friendly Dental that never disappoints!

I've been going to Family Friendly Dental for a few years now. They're great! The Newtown Square office is a bit larger, but you'll get the same quality at either office. Dr. Polis is super friendly and her and her folks do great work!

Dr Polis and her team are amazing. I was seen as a nee patient with an emergency today and they were so awesome. I was super nervous about a broken tooth but Dr. Polis and Wanda were super supportive and fixed my tooth with no pain. Thank you!
