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 about us. If you would like to ask questions or
schedule an appointment, please contact us. We look forward to meeting you

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.
