Convenient Access from Rhawnhurst
Crossing Roosevelt Boulevard is the only real hurdle between Rhawnhurst and our office. Dental Arts Group sits on Frankford Ave in Northeast Philadelphia, and most drivers starting near Castor Ave and Rhawn St arrive in about 7 minutes. For households weighing a dentist near Rhawnhurst, that short hop opens up preventive care, implants, clear aligners and cosmetic work under one roof.
The trip starts at Rhawnhurst School, 7809 Castor Ave. Head down Castor Ave to Rhawn St, turn onto Bustleton Ave, then pick up Borbeck Ave, which becomes Ryan Ave as it crosses the Boulevard. From Ryan Ave, follow Crabtree St and Rowland Ave to Princeton Ave at Frankford Ave, a drive of about 2.7 miles that usually takes 7 minutes.
Bell's Corner Shopping Center and the Pelbano Recreation Center on Solly Ave are familiar neighborhood stops. On the far side of the Boulevard, Ryan Ave is also home to Abraham Lincoln High School. The office is at 7052-56 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19135, between Brighton St and Princeton Ave, and our Google Maps page has the exact pin.

Dental Care Built Around Rhawnhurst Routines
This part of Philadelphia County came of age during the post-war building boom. Builder A.P. Orleans put up rows of twin homes, along with some ranchers and duplexes, through the 1950s and into the 1960s. The result is a neighborhood designed around the car, with Cottman Ave, Castor Ave, Rhawn St and the Boulevard carrying most daily trips.
That car-first layout shapes how people plan appointments. Roosevelt Mall and the Cottman Ave shops make a natural errand stop, and our office is a short continuation of that loop. Booking a cleaning right after a shopping stop keeps the whole outing to one block of time.
Green space is part of daily life here, too. Pennypack Park forms the northern border, and Bradford Park near the mall is a favorite with dog owners. A daily walk on those paths and a twice-yearly cleaning share the same idea: small, steady habits pay off over time.
Plenty of patients from this side of the Boulevard want care that lasts. They prefer to fix a tooth once and fix it well, rather than return for the same problem every year. That is why we take time at the first exam to photograph each tooth, chart the gums and talk through which repairs will hold up longest.
Dental Questions Common Among Rhawnhurst Adults
Tooth replacement tops the list for many adults who come to us from the neighborhood. A missing molar from years ago can let the teeth around it tip and drift, which changes your bite. Dental implants, implant bridges and implant-supported dentures all close that gap, and the practice offers a free implant consultation to explore them.
Denture wearers often ask whether there is a steadier option. A lower denture that floats or clicks can make eating uncomfortable. Snapping it onto two to four implants can hold it in place far better and make firmer foods easier to chew.
Sleep is another common theme. Snoring, morning headaches and worn-down teeth can all point to grinding or sleep-disordered breathing. Our night health services include custom night guards for bruxism and oral appliances for sleep apnea, and every comprehensive exam screens for these warning signs.
Gum health ties many of these issues together. Gums that bleed or pull back leave roots exposed and teeth less stable, which can complicate implants and dentures later. Charting every pocket at the first visit gives us a clear baseline, and follow-up cleanings show whether the numbers are improving.
Cosmetic goals come up at every age. Some patients want whiter teeth for a family celebration, while others want to replace dark old fillings with tooth-colored ones. In-office KöR whitening, porcelain veneers and bonding all help, and we start with the least invasive choice that meets your goal.
What a Dentist Near Rhawnhurst Can Do for You
Implants & Dentures
Titanium implants replace single teeth, while full and partial dentures restore whole arches. The TeethXpress approach with Laser-Lok implants supports fixed and removable options. A free consultation helps you compare cost, comfort and timing.
Cosmetic Dentistry
KöR Deep Bleaching can brighten teeth up to 16 shades in about an hour. Porcelain veneers, bonding and gum recontouring handle chips, gaps and uneven gumlines. Each plan starts with a conversation about the look you want.
Invisalign
Clear aligners straighten teeth for adults who never had braces or whose teeth shifted later. A 3D scanner replaces messy impression trays. You wear the aligners about 22 hours a day and take them out to eat.
Family Dentistry
Children from Rhawnhurst and Farrell elementary schools can share a dental home with their parents and grandparents. Visits include cleanings, oral cancer screening and digital X-rays. Urgent calls after hours go to our answering service.
Gum Disease Treatment
We record pocket depths, bleeding, recession and mobility around every tooth. That baseline guides a personal treatment plan. Hygienists then help you build a home routine that protects your gums between visits.
Teenagers headed to Northeast High have their own list, from wisdom teeth questions to whitening before senior photos. Our comprehensive exam covers their growth and bite, and the online new-patient forms let parents finish paperwork from home. Once you cross into Mayfair, the office is only a few turns away, so a busy student can be back on Castor Ave quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Rhawnhurst, and how do I get there?
Rhawnhurst School is about 2.7 miles from our office, usually a 7-minute drive. Take Castor Ave, Rhawn St and Bustleton Ave to Borbeck Ave, cross the Boulevard on Ryan Ave, then use Crabtree St and Rowland Ave. That route makes us a straightforward dentist near Rhawnhurst for families on either side of Castor Ave.
Do I have to cross Roosevelt Boulevard to get there from Rhawnhurst?
Yes, the Boulevard forms the neighborhood's eastern edge, so every route crosses it once. The Borbeck Ave and Ryan Ave crossing is a direct choice, and Cottman Ave is another option. Expect the crossing to take longer at rush hour, so midday appointments tend to feel quickest.
Can adults get clear aligners if their teeth shifted after childhood braces?
Yes, teeth often shift after braces, and clear aligners are a common way to move them back. The office takes impressions with a 3D digital scanner, and aligners are worn about 22 hours a day. A free Invisalign consultation shows whether your case suits aligners, Six Month Smiles or traditional braces. Treatment length varies by case.
Do Rhawnhurst families need separate dentists for kids and adults?
No, family dentistry here covers patients from toddlers to seniors, so one office can care for the whole household. Dr. Nadig sees children, teens, parents and grandparents. Keeping everyone's records in one place makes it easier to spot patterns, such as cavities or gum problems that run in families. Back-to-back appointments can also cut down on trips.
Can the practice help with snoring or nighttime teeth grinding?
Yes, the office provides custom night guards for grinding and oral appliances for sleep apnea. Every comprehensive exam includes a screening for sleep-disordered breathing. If the signs are there, we explain what we found and talk through options that fit your sleep, your bite and your budget.
