Convenient Access from Palmyra
Plenty of people type "dentist Palmyra, NJ" into a search bar and assume they have to stay on the Jersey side of the river. In reality, Dental Arts Group is about 11 minutes from Palmyra by car, just over the Delaware in Northeast Philadelphia. Our office sits on Frankford Ave in Mayfair, across the avenue from Tacony. Dr. Karan Nadig leads a general practice that treats children, adults and seniors.
From Palmyra Borough Hall at 20 West Broad Street, head west on Broad Street (CR 543) and turn right onto the bridge boulevard (NJ 73). Cross the river on the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, which charges a toll for Pennsylvania-bound drivers and has a drawbridge span that can open for river traffic. On the Philadelphia side, exit onto State Road (PA 73), then take Princeton Avenue up to Frankford Ave. The full drive runs about 4.2 miles.
The office is at 7052-56 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19135, on the northwest side of the avenue between Brighton St and Princeton Ave. Open our Google Maps listing for turn-by-turn directions from home. Once you are across the bridge, you pass through Tacony, and Mayfair begins right at our side of the avenue.
A Short Bridge Crossing to Your Dental Home
Palmyra is a compact riverfront borough in Burlington County, covering only a few square miles between the Delaware and its neighbors Riverton and Cinnaminson. It started out as a township in 1894 and became a borough in 1923. Before that, the area went by a far less expected name: it was called Texas until 1849. Halloween parades, a Juneteenth celebration and a holiday tree lighting still bring the whole town out.
Route 73 is the borough's main link to Philadelphia, and it leads almost directly to our door. Anyone who already crosses the river for work, shopping or family visits in the Northeast can add a dental visit to one of those trips with little extra planning. Coming back, the same road returns you to Broad Street in minutes.
Mornings tend to suit a cross-river visit best. Doors open at 8 o'clock three weekdays a week, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, while Tuesday shifts later and closes at 6 in the evening. A short Friday session, 9 until 1, is reserved for booked patients. Saturdays and Sundays the office is dark.
Toothaches do not keep office hours, and a crossing at night is easier when you know someone will answer. The practice keeps an off-hours answering service for dental emergencies, so a cracked crown or a sudden swelling gets a callback. Digital X-rays help the doctor find the source quickly once you arrive. Saving the office number in your phone before you need it takes ten seconds and spares a lot of searching later.
Smart Dental Habits for Palmyra Residents
Families with kids at Charles Street School or Palmyra High and Middle School juggle sports, homework and the occasional dental appointment. Booking every child for a back-to-back cleaning saves trips over the river. Each visit includes an exam, a cleaning and digital X-rays when they are due, all with minimal radiation exposure. Sealants protect the grooves on back molars for children who need them.
Busy adults, whether they spend weekends on the Palmyra Cove Nature Park trails or at Legion Field, can easily let cleanings slide. A missed cleaning becomes two, and small problems quietly grow. The DAG Comprehensive Exam resets that clock with periodontal charting, magnification and intraoral photos. It also includes an oral cancer screening and a check for sleep-disordered breathing.
Commuters who spend their days in meetings may have cosmetic goals as well. In-office KöR deep bleaching whitening takes about an hour and can lift teeth up to 16 shades, and the process is quick and comfortable to schedule. Clear aligners are another option for adults who want straighter teeth without metal brackets. Six Month Smiles, which uses tooth-colored brackets on the front teeth, is a further choice for grown-ups with mainly cosmetic crowding.
New patients can also take advantage of the free exam and X-ray offer for first-time visitors. It includes a full oral health exam, all standard X-rays and treatment recommendations, which gives families a clear starting point before committing to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Palmyra, and how do I get there?
The office is about 4.2 miles from Borough Hall, roughly an 11-minute drive. Take West Broad Street to NJ 73, cross into Tacony, then follow State Road and Princeton Avenue to Frankford Ave. For anyone comparing dentist Palmyra, NJ options, it is one of the shortest trips into Pennsylvania you can make.
Can Palmyra patients cover stained or chipped front teeth with veneers?
Yes, porcelain veneers are part of the cosmetic dentistry offered here, and they can cover stains, chips and uneven edges on front teeth. For smaller fixes, cosmetic bonding or KöR whitening may be enough. An exam confirms the teeth and gums are healthy first. Dr. Nadig then explains which option suits your smile and budget.
Can I take the River LINE from Palmyra to the office?
Not directly, because the River LINE light rail stays in New Jersey. It runs from the East Broad Street station south to Camden and north to Trenton, without crossing into Northeast Philadelphia. Driving over the bridge on Route 73 is the most direct way to reach us, and most of the trip takes place on that one highway.
Will my New Jersey dental insurance work at an office in Pennsylvania?
In many cases, yes. The practice accepts a long list of PPO plans, including Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian and MetLife, regardless of which state you live in. HMO, DMO, Medicaid and Medicare plans are not accepted, so a quick call before your first visit confirms whether your specific plan qualifies.
Can Palmyra children and teens be seen here?
Yes, children and teenagers are welcome, since family dentistry here covers patients from toddlers to seniors. Younger kids can come in for cleanings, exams and sealants, while older students often add orthodontic questions to the list. Grouping siblings into consecutive appointments keeps the number of bridge crossings to a minimum for busy parents.
