Convenient Access from Oxford Circle
A quick hop across Roosevelt Boulevard is all it takes for Oxford Circle families to reach Dental Arts Group, usually 7 minutes by car. We are a family practice on Frankford Ave in Northeast Philadelphia, and parents searching for a dentist near Oxford Circle will find care for every age in one place. Dr. Karan Nadig sees young children, teens and adults. The office sits in Mayfair, facing Tacony across the avenue.
Starting from Bushrod Library at 6304 Castor Avenue, go up Castor for a block and turn onto Devereaux Avenue. Devereaux brings you to Roosevelt Boulevard (US 1), where you ride north only briefly before turning east on Tyson Avenue. Tyson meets Frankford Ave (US 13), and a short run northeast finishes the 2.4-mile drive. The Boulevard crossing is the busiest part of the trip, and rush hour can add a few minutes there.
Our address is 7052-56 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19135, on the northwest side of the avenue between Brighton St and Princeton Ave. Save the Dental Arts Group map pin to your phone for easy navigation. Patients also come to us from nearby Frankford and Lawncrest.
Family Dentistry That Fits Oxford Circle Rowhouse Life
Much of the neighborhood was built by the Hyman Korman Company from the early 1940s into the 1950s. Block after block of brick and stone rowhouses filled in what had been farmland with homes built for growing families. Those same blocks now house Jewish, Korean, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Brazilian, Haitian and African American households, among many others. What they share is a need for dental care that is close, clear and built around a household schedule.
That is where a general practice helps. One phone call can cover a parent's crown, a teenager's braces question and a first-grader's cleaning. Online scheduling and digital new-patient forms let you get the paperwork done after the kids are asleep. Text reminders make sure everyone shows up on the right day.
The office opens at 8 AM on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, a good fit for a checkup before work. Tuesday hours run from 9 AM to 6 PM, and Friday mornings are by appointment only.
Active kids mean the occasional mishap. A fall at Tarken or Max Myers playground can chip a front tooth on a Sunday afternoon, long after most offices have closed. The practice keeps an off-hours answering service, so Oxford Circle parents can reach someone and get advice on the next step. Digital X-rays with minimal radiation exposure then help the doctor see what happened once you come in.
What Oxford Circle Parents Ask About Kids' Teeth
Elementary schools are woven through the neighborhood, including Spruance, Carnell, Solis-Cohen and Moore. That means a lot of young teeth, a lot of after-school snacks and a lot of six-month checkups to keep track of. Cleanings and exams at those regular intervals let small cavities get fixed while they are still small. Sealants add a thin protective coating to the grooves of back molars, where food and plaque collect easily.
Brushing habits matter just as much as the visits. Our patient education library explains common dental topics in plain, everyday language. Parents can read it at home and arrive with better questions. Kids who understand why they floss tend to keep doing it.
Older students at Northeast High and Fels High often reach the age where crowding becomes obvious. The practice offers traditional braces, clear aligners and Six Month Smiles, which uses tooth-colored brackets on adult front teeth. A free Invisalign consultation lets a family compare choices without any pressure to commit. Treatment length varies by case and is set once the doctor reviews a 3D scan.
Grown-ups count too. The new-patient exam includes periodontal charting, oral cancer screening and a check for sleep-disordered breathing. Parents who spend years putting their children first often find that their own care has slipped, and the first visit is a good time to catch up.
Adults who want a brighter smile have options as well. In-office KöR whitening takes about an hour, and cosmetic bonding can smooth a chipped edge. Many Oxford Circle residents fold these into the same visit as a routine cleaning, which saves a second trip across the Boulevard.
Services from a Dentist Near Oxford Circle
Orthodontics
Traditional braces and clear aligners straighten crowded teeth for teens and adults. Six Month Smiles is an option for grown-ups who mostly want their front teeth aligned.
Family Dentistry
Prevention, cleanings, exams and digital X-rays for toddlers through seniors. A rowhouse full of relatives can keep every chart in one office, and exams include an oral cancer screening for the adults.
Invisalign
Removable clear aligners are worn about 22 hours a day and come out for meals. A 3D digital scan replaces goopy impression trays, which younger patients appreciate.
Gum Disease Treatment
Pocket measurements, bleeding points and recession are charted for each tooth. The result is a written plan and practical home-care coaching from a hygienist.
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal therapy and dentures repair damage at any age. Early fixes keep a child's small cavity from becoming a bigger repair later, and the same tools rebuild a parent's worn molar.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Oxford Circle, and how do I get there?
From Bushrod Library the office is 2.4 miles away, about 7 minutes by car. The route follows Castor Avenue, Devereaux Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard, then Tyson Avenue east to Frankford Ave. For a dentist near Oxford Circle, that makes a short crossing of the Boulevard rather than a trip across the city.
Can Oxford Circle patients get dentures at the same office as their checkups?
Yes, full and partial dentures are offered here, alongside routine checkups and cleanings. Implant-supported dentures, which use two to four implants for a firmer fit, are another choice. Dr. Nadig reviews your gums, bone and remaining teeth before recommending an option. A free implant consultation lets you compare traditional and implant-supported dentures.
Are dental X-rays safe during routine checkups?
Yes, the office uses digital X-rays, which the practice notes involve minimal radiation exposure. They reveal decay between teeth, bone levels and infections that a visual exam can miss. The dentist takes only the images your exam calls for. Let the team know if you are pregnant so imaging can be planned around that.
Can children get sealants at the practice?
Yes, sealants are part of the preventive care offered to children here. The thin coating protects the chewing grooves of back molars, where cavities often begin. Families can pair sealants with a regular cleaning, so one short visit handles both and the child is back in class quickly.
How can an Oxford Circle family spread out the cost of braces or other care?
Twelve months of 0% interest financing is available for larger treatment plans. The office also accepts major credit cards and the CareCredit card, and it works with many PPO insurance carriers. Calling ahead to check your plan lets the team estimate your share before treatment starts, so the budget holds no surprises.
