Convenient Access from Mayfair
Mayfair families can keep their dental care inside the neighborhood. Dental Arts Group practices at 7052-56 Frankford Ave in Northeast Philadelphia, on the Mayfair side of the avenue, so a dentist near Mayfair is often just 2 minutes from home by car. Care runs from toddlers to seniors here, and three weekdays open at 8 AM for early risers.
From Mayfair School at 3001 Princeton Ave, take St Vincent St to Rowland Ave, then follow Princeton Ave down to Frankford Ave. That short trip runs about 0.6 miles and takes roughly 2 minutes behind the wheel. Walkers can cover it in about 13 minutes, and the SEPTA Route 66 trackless trolley stops along this stretch of Frankford Ave as well.
The Frankford and Cottman Avenues shopping district, the heart of the neighborhood, is a few blocks northeast of our door. Abraham Lincoln High School on Ryan Ave and the southern edge of Pennypack Park are both close by too. You will find us at 7052-56 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19135, between Brighton St and Princeton Ave, and you can open our listing in Google Maps for turn-by-turn help.
Our building faces Tacony across the avenue, so many neighbors on that side read our Tacony page. Households north of Cottman Ave can see what we share for Holmesburg.
A Neighborhood Practice That Mayfair Can Walk To
Mayfair grew up around the idea that shops, schools and services should sit close to home. A dental office fits that pattern. When the practice is a short walk or a single trolley stop away, a cleaning becomes an errand instead of a half-day project.
The neighborhood took shape in Philadelphia County after World War II, when builders put up roomier rowhouses with garages in the back. Shopping grew along Frankford Ave, Cottman Ave and Roosevelt Boulevard so residents could handle errands close to home. Our office sits right on that Frankford Ave corridor. Neighbors from Oxford Circle and Rhawnhurst, just across the Boulevard, also find the trip simple.
That closeness matters most for households juggling several schedules. A parent can bring one child in after the school bell, then come back alone the following week for a crown check. Grandparents who no longer like driving on Roosevelt Boulevard can ride Route 66 down Frankford Ave instead.
Dental trouble rarely waits for a convenient moment. If a filling falls out on a Thursday night or a child knocks a tooth loose on the weekend, our off-hours answering service takes the call and helps you plan the next step. During office hours, a broken tooth near home means less time in pain and less time off work.
We also see many local adults who put off care for a few years and now want a fresh start. Nobody here lectures you about the gap. We take digital X-rays, look at your gums and teeth with magnification, and lay out what needs attention first and what can wait.
Keeping Mayfair Smiles Healthy Through Every Stage
The neighborhood is full of school-age kids, from the K-8 classrooms at Mayfair School to the older students at Lincoln. Children at that age benefit from regular cleanings, early cavity checks and sealants on new back teeth. Our cavity and disease prevention visits focus on stopping small problems before they need a filling.
Pennypack Park borders the neighborhood to the north, and its trails draw runners, cyclists and young families all year. Active kids chip and crack teeth more often than parents expect. A quick visit after a fall on a bike path can save a tooth that would otherwise need bigger work later.
Grinding and clenching show up at every age as well. Worn edges, sore jaw muscles and morning headaches often trace back to nighttime habits. We check for these signs during routine exams and can talk through a custom night guard if the wear keeps progressing.
Teenagers bring their own questions about crooked teeth, sports injuries and whitening before prom photos. Parents often want help with a cracked filling or a tooth that aches with cold drinks. Older patients tend to ask about loose dentures, bleeding gums or replacing a missing tooth.
Adults who are missing a tooth or two have more choices than they may expect. Dental implants, implant-supported dentures and fixed bridges can all restore a stable bite. Our office offers TeethXpress implant care with Laser-Lok technology, and a free consultation lets you weigh the options without pressure.
Every new patient starts with the DAG Comprehensive Exam. It includes periodontal charting, magnified examination, intraoral photos and a screening for sleep-disordered breathing. Those photos let you see exactly what we see, which makes treatment choices much easier to talk through at home.
Care From a Dentist Near Mayfair for the Whole Household
Family Dentistry
Our family visits cover cleanings, exams with oral cancer screening and digital X-rays for every age. Parents can book siblings back to back. If a tooth breaks after hours, our answering service takes the call.
Orthodontics
Traditional braces and clear aligners both straighten crowded teeth. For adults who only want their front teeth aligned, Six Month Smiles uses tooth-colored brackets. A close office makes the regular adjustment visits easy to fit around school days.
Gum Disease Treatment
We measure gum pockets, bleeding, recession and tooth mobility at the first exam. If we find gum disease, you get a treatment plan built for your mouth. Our hygienists also coach you on home care that actually fits your routine.
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored composite fillings, root canal therapy, crowns and bridges repair damage and keep your bite working. Full and partial dentures replace teeth that cannot be saved. Follow-up visits stay a few minutes from home, which helps when a repair takes more than one appointment.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding and gum recontouring improve the shape and color of your smile. In-office KöR whitening takes about an hour. It suits anyone with a wedding or graduation photo coming up soon.
Paperwork can wait at home, too. Our online new-patient forms and online scheduling let you finish the intake steps from your couch before you walk over. That leaves your first visit for the exam, the X-rays and a real conversation about your goals.
