- Teeth CleaningDental cleaning is a common procedure that usually takes about an hour to complete. The dentist or dental hygienist will use special tools to clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. After the cleaning is finished, they may polish and floss your teeth as well. In some cases, a fluoride treatment may be applied to help protect against tooth decay.
- Fluoride TreatmentReardon Dental is currently owned and operated by Dr. Laura Reardon Feller, a seasoned female dental professional offering comprehensive dental services to both adults and children. Our Downingtown dental office provides preventative care, restorative treatments, cosmetic procedures, and preventive treatments such as teeth cleanings and fluoride treatments. We also provide emergency services for any unexpected oral health issues that may arise.
- Dental SealantsToday, 90% of tooth decay can be prevented with Fluoride used along with Dental Sealants. Dental Sealants are an excellent way to prevent tooth decay especially to the vulnerable surfaces of molars.
- Space MaintainersDental spacers or Space Maintainers are removable or fixed passive appliances designed to prevent tooth movement and generally are placed following tooth extraction(s) or in cases of congenitally missing teeth. Spacers allow the free movement of new teeth coming into place and keeps the bite even, preventing a more serious malocclusion.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeWhite Composite Fillings or dental composite resins are types of synthetic resins which are used in dentistry as restorative material or adhesives. Synthetic resins evolved as restorative materials since they were insoluble, aesthetic, insensitive to dehydration, easy to manipulate and reasonably inexpensive. Unlike Amalgam which essentially just fills a hole and requires retention features to hold the filling, composite cavity restorations or white composite fillings, when used with dentin and enamel bonding techniques, restore the tooth back to near its original physical integrity.
- VeneersYou can change the shape, color and length of your teeth using porcelain veneers. They are wafer thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of teeth to create a cosmetic improvement and sometimes a bite improvement. Dental veneers have successfully improved smiles by making dark teeth look lighter and healthier looking. They can make crooked teeth look straight in just a few days. Patient’s can look and feel more confident, more professional and have a wonderfully natural looking smile.
- CrownsDental Crowns: Teeth are often restored using silver or composite plastic fillings. However, when too much of a tooth’s structure is removed to support fillings, dental crowns or “caps” may be needed. Dental crowns may be needed to...

- Root Canal TreatmentEndodontics is the dental specialty that deals with the tissues surrounding the root of a tooth and the tooth pulp. Tooth pulp is located at the center of a tooth containing nerves that can cause severe pain when exposed through decay or trauma. Endodontists are dentists specializing in this area of dentistry. An additional 2 – 3 years study is required before an endodontist can be certified.
- Periodontal Surgery
- Deep CleaningYou know you have gum disease when you notice inflammation, redness and bleeding in the gums. It is important to note that gum disease can not be cured without going to a dentist. You need to receive professional treatment from a dental specialist to cure gum disease. Some treatments may include deep cleaning, scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery and antibiotics. However, to minimize the pain associated with gum disease and its progression, there are certain things that you can do on your own such as reducing the bacteria in your mouth by brushing and flossing regularly, using a soft toothbrush and fluoride-based toothpaste, eating healthy foods low in sugar, rinsing your mouth daily with an antiseptic or warm salt water, and avoiding smoking. Regular visits to your dentist for professional cleanings and checkups can also help prevent or reduce the progression of gum disease. Read more: what dentist should I see ?
- DenturesDentures may be your best solution if you’ve lost all your natural teeth due to periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury. Missing teeth can create a host of aesthetic and functional problems including sagging facial muscles, inability to eat certain foods and speak.
- Dental ImplantsPeriodontics is the dental specialty that works with both the diseases of the gums (See Periodontal Disease ) and the upper jaw bone that supports the teeth. Because these two areas are the basic supporting structures of the teeth, Periodontics is the specialty that provides the expertise for dental implants.
- Oral SurgeryRoot canal procedures are typically performed by endodontists, who specialize in treating and performing root canals on teeth. It is important to consult with a dental professional before having any type of oral surgery to ensure you receive top-notch care.
- Tooth ExtractionsExtractions are performed when a tooth becomes impacted because it is prevented from growing into its normal position in the mouth by gum tissue, bone or other teeth. Teeth extractions may also be done to make more room in the mouth prior to straightening the remaining teeth (orthodontic treatment), because they are so badly positioned that straightening is impossible or to remove teeth that are so badly decayed or broken that they cannot be restored. Tooth extractions can usually be performed with local anesthesia.
- Orthodontics“Practicing orthodontics allows me to help people in many ways. Some people seeking treatment are unhappy with the position of their teeth and want to straighten them for aesthetic purposes.

- BracesA dental arch expander is one best examples of early pediatric orthodontic treatment still used today. A dental arch expander can often be used to create a proper alignment of the arches so that permanent teeth have room to erupt in a natural position. The timely use of a dental arch expander will effectively minimize or eliminate at all the need for braces when the patient gets older.
