Our office reflects our
vision to create a dental
clinic that serves families in
our community by providing the
latest and most advanced
dentistry available.
Dental Care for the Entire
Family
We provide a comprehensive
approach to care for the entire
family, including cosmetic and
advanced restorative dentistry.
Even if all you need is a
new dentist for regular
cleanings and exams, you will
find our special blend of
technology and caring will make
your dental visits a pleasant
and welcome change.
Call us at (215)
634-7006, or
Contact Us to set up
your first appointment. You can
also send us your health
history and insurance
information in advance of your
first appointment using our
Patient Information and Health
History Form.
Mercury-Free
All our fillings are
mercury-free! The common silver
filling contains 50% mercury.
We use only tooth colored
resins and porcelain or gold to
create your beautiful, healthy
smile.
Radiography
New, higher
film speeds and design
improvements in dental x-ray
machines mean far less
radiation for you.
Currently we are transitioning
from one digital x-ray system
to another. In the
meantime, we are using dental
films that provide you with
exactly the same minimal
exposure as digital
radiography. Thus, our
dental x-rays (just as our
previous digital system) reduce
your radiation exposure up to
90%.
Precautions to Ensure
Patient Safety
 We follow a
number of health and
safety guidelines. First,
our office complies with
and exceeds OSHA standards
for safety. The
doctor maintains current
CPR
certification.
With every patient, we
follow "universal"
precautions. These are
safety procedures
established by the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the
American Dental
Association (ADA). Under
these precautions, our
dental team is required to
use the appropriate
protective wear, such as
gloves, masks and eyewear.
After your visit, we
disinfect the operatory
and sterilize all of the
equipment. We have a
sterilization center where
we can maximize efficient
sterilization and minimize
the chance of
contamination through
human error. If you have
any questions, we would be
happy to demonstrate our
sterilization procedures.
You can also view the CDC
Infection Control
guidelines online at
www.cdc.gov.
Honestly,
every office is
different and somehow unique.
Ultimately, though, your
comfort in that office comes
down to how much you like the
doctor, his abilities, and his
chair side manner. Also
important is how pleasant you
find the staff. The doctor is
very proud of his staff and
their ability to make you feel
comfortable. Find out why
patients that have moved out of
our neighborhood, or had their
insurance changed, keep coming
back.
Dr. Walicki cares about his
patients. He listens to your
concerns and will take the time
to make sure your dental health
is the best that it can be. The
doctor welcomes your questions
and makes certain you
understand your treatment. He
can also provide you with
patient education information
when you need it
The best way to know what
makes Dr. Walicki and his team
different is to schedule an
appointment by calling
215-634-7006.
Thank you for learning more

Dental
Financing Options
Dental care
is an important investment in
an individual's medical and
psychological well being.
Financial considerations can be
an obstacle to obtaining this
important health service. Being
sensitive to the fact that
people have different needs in
fulfilling their financial
obligations, we provide the
following payment options:
- You can pay for our
services with cash or
check.
- We also accept
Master Card,
Visa, and
Discover.
Payment
in full:
- A courtesy of 5% is
given for payment in full
of a complete treatment
plan by cash or check.
- A courtesy of 3% is
given for payment in full
of a complete treatment
plan by credit card.
CareCredit
We believe that your
insurance should never dictate
the quality or timing of your
treatment. If you have
extensive or long-term dental
care, our office offers
financial assistance through
CareCredit
Patient Financing.
CareCredit provides flexible
payment plans, including
several interest-free
options. Click on the link
above to learn more or to
print an application that
you can bring with you. Once
your card is issued, you may
also be able to use it in
many other participating
offices, including
chiropractors, physicians,
optometrists and
veterinarians.
Insurance:
Dental insurance is intended
to cover some, but not all, of
the cost of your dental care.
Most plans include co-insurance
provisions, a deductible, and
certain other expenses which
must be paid by the patient.
Reimbursement amounts are not,
and never have been, a
guideline for quality care.
It may be helpful to
remember that insurance is a
benefit provided by your
employer. Each plan is
different and covers different
amounts. While it is not meant
to be all inclusive, or a
determining factor in treatment
recommendations, it can provide
valuable financial assistance
for your dental care needs.
In this day and age, we know
deciphering your insurance
benefits can be confusing.
That's why we will file your
claim for you. Please provide
us with your insurance plan
information on or before your
first visit. We will work with
you to ensure that you receive
the maximum benefits to which
you are entitled.
If you have
any questions about your
insurance plan or payment
options, please call our staff
at:
(215)
634-7006.
