Convenient Access from Fox Chase
Rhawn Street does most of the work when you drive from Fox Chase to Dental Arts Group, and the whole trip takes roughly 10 minutes. For anyone weighing a dentist near Fox Chase, that short eastward run ends on Frankford Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia. Our office sits in Mayfair, facing Tacony across the avenue. Dr. Karan Nadig offers checkups, cosmetic work, Invisalign and implant-supported dentures under one roof.
From the Fox Chase Library at Rhawn and Jeanes Streets, turn onto Rhawn Street heading east and stay on it for about 2 miles, crossing Roosevelt Boulevard along the way. Jog briefly onto Bustleton Avenue, then continue east on Borbeck Avenue and Ryan Avenue.
Crabtree Street, Rowland Avenue and Princeton Avenue bring you to Frankford Avenue, a 4.1-mile drive in total with no tolls. Find us at 7052-56 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19135, on the Route 66 trolley line. Patients from Rockledge and Burholme use much of the same route.
A Practical Dental Office for a Rail-and-Park Neighborhood
This corner of the Northeast has a rhythm all its own. SEPTA's Fox Chase Line ends at Rhawn Street, and the station ranks among the busiest Regional Rail stops by weekday boardings. Pennypack Park lines the northern boundary, and the neighborhood runs south to Cottman Avenue. Between those edges sit the library, local schools and the cancer center that stands as the neighborhood's largest employer.
A neighborhood built around a train terminus values time. Our Monday, Wednesday and Thursday hours open at 8 AM, which lets a commuter finish a cleaning and still reach a mid-morning train. Tuesday runs from 9 AM to 6 PM for those who prefer the end of the day. Friday hours, 9 AM to 1 PM, are by appointment only.
Families and couples make up much of the population here, and they tend to plan dental care together. One call can book a parent's crown, a teenager's aligner check and a grandparent's denture fitting on the same morning. That kind of scheduling is easier when the practice handles every age group, as ours does.
Children here grow up with an unusual neighbor. Fox Chase Farm on Pine Road is a working educational farm run by the School District of Philadelphia, on land William Penn deeded in 1682. Field trips there teach kids where food comes from, and our hygienists pick up the same thread with home-care coaching about snacks, drinks and brushing. Young patients usually remember the farm visit longer than the lecture, but both lessons help.
The neighborhood sits entirely within Philadelphia County, about 10 miles northeast of Center City, and it shares a border with the borough of Rockledge. Its library branch has served the Rhawn and Jeanes corner since 1951, first inside a renovated school and, since 1968, in its current building. Institutions that last for decades suit a dental office that hopes to care for the same families for decades too.
Smile Goals We Hear From Fox Chase Patients
Professionals heading into Center City on the train often care about how their smile looks in meetings and photos. Cosmetic requests are common: brighter enamel, an even edge on a chipped front tooth, or straighter alignment without metal brackets. These are elective choices, and they work best on a healthy foundation of clean teeth and firm gums.
Whitening is the quickest change. The office uses the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching System, which the practice describes as capable of results up to 16 shades whiter, with the in-office session taking about one hour. You can read how it works on our teeth whitening page before deciding.
Other patients come with the opposite concern: missing teeth or a loose lower denture. Implant-supported dentures anchor on two to four implants, which keeps them steady while eating and speaking. Long-time residents who have worn a traditional plate for years often ask whether that upgrade is possible, and a consultation answers the question.
Whatever the goal, every new patient starts with the same thorough exam. It includes periodontal charting, magnification of 2.5 to 6.0 times, intraoral photos and a screening for sleep-disordered breathing. That baseline lets Dr. Nadig recommend cosmetic steps only when the underlying teeth are ready for them.
How a Dentist Near Fox Chase Can Help
Cosmetic Dentistry
Porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, tooth-colored fillings and gum recontouring refine the shape and shade of your smile. Commuters who want a polished look before an interview or wedding often begin here.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Fox Chase, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 4.1 miles from the Fox Chase Library, roughly a 10-minute drive. Take Rhawn Street east, then Bustleton, Borbeck and Ryan Avenues, and finish on Rowland and Princeton Avenues at Frankford Avenue. That keeps a dentist near Fox Chase within easy reach on local streets. Expect a few extra minutes at rush hour.
Can Fox Chase residents ask about the TeethXpress implant approach?
Yes, the TeethXpress approach with Laser-Lok implant technology is part of the implants and dentures service. That service also includes single implants, full and partial dentures and implant-supported dentures held by two to four implants. A free implant consultation reviews bone and gum health. Dr. Nadig then lays out a plan and the financing choices available.
Can I fit a cleaning around a Fox Chase Line commute?
Yes, an 8 AM slot on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday works well for train riders. A routine cleaning and exam usually leave enough time to drive back toward the station afterward. Riders who prefer afternoons can choose Tuesday, when the office stays open until 6 PM. Online scheduling makes it simple to compare open times from the platform.
Can Invisalign impressions be taken without messy trays?
Yes, the office captures digital impressions with a 3D scanner instead of trays filled with putty. The scan feeds straight into aligner planning, and the free Invisalign consultation is the place to start. Aligners are made from SmartTrack material and are worn about 22 hours a day. Treatment length varies from one case to the next.
Can I whiten my teeth before a big event?
Yes, in-office KöR whitening suits that kind of deadline, because the session itself takes about one hour. The practice describes results of up to 16 shades whiter. A quick exam first confirms that teeth and gums are ready for bleaching. Booking a week or two ahead leaves time for a cleaning first if one is due.
