Our story, since 1985

Since 1985 we have been one of the very first practices to carry the Main Line in its name, and one of the few still privately owned. Everyone here answers to you, not to a corporation. Most of our new patients are sent by someone who already sits in our chairs.

Which is why we so often care for several generations of the same family.

Tour our office

Less like a dental office, more like a good hotel.

Comfortable seating in the lobby, treatment rooms with large windows and natural light, cozy chairs, and technology that keeps visits short. These are our own rooms in Suite 115, not stock photographs.

Going to the dentist is never a great experience. However, Mary Ann and Dr. Williams made the experience rather pleasant. I have been a patient of Dr. Williams for 40 years. Rosa WPatient review

Our in-house dental lab

Your crown is made down the hall.

Very few dental offices in the country have their own lab, and no others in the Main Line area do. Our technologist works only with our dentists, so every restoration is designed, made and checked under one roof.

01

Designed on screen, milled in-house

The problem: waiting weeks while an outside lab makes your restoration.

Our Zirkonzahn milling machine and its software make provisional teeth for same-day placement on implants, and final restorations in high-end materials made to stand the test of time.

02

A permanent crown in one visit

The problem: a temporary crown, a second appointment and cold impression putty.

With CEREC, a digital scan becomes a 3-D design, the crown is milled from a block of ceramic while you relax in the chair, then polished and bonded the same day.

03

Shade, shape and size, matched to you

The problem: a crown that fits but does not look like your tooth.

Old-world craftsmanship on top of CAD/CAM. We judge the size, shape and color of every restoration against your own features, so it reads as yours, not as a replacement.

Replacing missing teeth

Implants placed and restored here, start to finish.

No outside implant specialist needed. Implants are planned on our own cone beam scanner, placed by Dr. Williams in this office, and topped with a crown, bridge or denture from our lab. With care, implants are the one replacement that can last 30 years and more.

  1. A consultation on your health, your mouth and your jawbone
  2. Implant placement here in Wayne, under local anesthesia
  3. Four to six months for the implant to fuse with the bone
  4. Your custom crown, bridge or denture, made in-house

Common questions

What people ask before they book.

Do you take my insurance?

We accept many popular plans from the leading dental insurers. Call with your membership details and we will go over your coverage with you, and we can handle the claim on your behalf so you get the most from your benefits. Flexible financing is available through CareCredit.

Something hurts or has broken. Can I be seen today?

Call us first. We offer same-day, after-hours and weekend emergency appointments, and we will give you first-aid instructions over the phone while we get you in. Nitrous oxide is available if you are nervous.

What happens at my first visit?

Plan on about an hour and a half. We review your medical and dental history, examine your teeth, gums, bite and jaw joints, and check your existing dental work. Healthy patients can sometimes have treatment the same day; more involved cases come back to go through the plan. Please bring any x-rays, a list of your medications and your insurance details.

Do I need a referral for implants or gum treatment?

No. Dr. Williams is our in-house periodontist-prosthodontist. He places and restores dental implants here, start to finish, and treats gum disease, so you and your family can get what you need under one roof.

What difference does an in-house lab make?

Speed and control. A CEREC crown can be designed, milled and bonded in one appointment, with no temporary and no messy putty impressions. Larger work, from veneers to dentures, is made by a technologist who works only with our dentists.

Do you see children?

Yes, children of all ages. Our general dentists look after growing smiles, and we offer fluoride, sealants and custom sportsguards for young athletes.
