Turn east on Rhawn Street and ride it about 2.2 miles through Fox Chase. A brief stretch of Bustleton Avenue leads to Borbeck and Ryan Avenues, and Crabtree Street, Rowland Avenue and Princeton Avenue finish the trip at Frankford Avenue.

A Small Borough With Close Ties to the Northeast
Rockledge is a compact borough in Montgomery County, covering well under half a square mile along Huntingdon Pike. Abington Township and the City of Philadelphia surround it. The settlement was first called Sylvania, and it broke away from Abington Township to incorporate as a borough on January 9, 1893.
The borough's history explains why so many residents already look south. Building associations bought farms along Huntingdon Pike and split them into house lots, and the early "Strockville" section grew beside Lawnview Cemetery and Fox Chase Road. From 1916 to 1923, some residents even pushed to leave the county and join Philadelphia because of their close ties to Fox Chase. A court turned the petition down, but the connection never faded.
The name itself likely comes from stone. An old quarry on the 200 block of Huntingdon Pike, most active from 1916 to 1920, reached more than 100 feet deep. Today's landmarks are gentler: Jarrett Playground is getting accessibility upgrades, and the borough's model railroad museum moved to Montgomery and Sylvania Avenues in 2014.
Daily life still follows that pattern. Fox Chase station, just over the city line, is the borough's nearest Regional Rail stop. A dental office reached by the same Oxford Avenue and Rhawn Street corridor feels like part of an existing routine rather than a separate errand.
Weekday hours make that routine easy to keep. The office opens at 8 AM on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, stays open until 6 PM on Tuesday, and sees patients by appointment on Friday from 9 AM to 1 PM.
Dental Needs Common in a Borough of Older Homes
Much of Rockledge was laid out more than a century ago. Residents who have lived here for decades often carry older dental work: silver fillings from decades past, crowns near the end of their life, or a removable partial that no longer fits well. Each of those can be updated without starting from scratch.
For missing teeth, implants are the most stable replacement. The practice restores implants with crowns, bridges or snap-in dentures, and you can read the details on our dental implants page. Implant consultations are free, which lets patients weigh the option without pressure.
Younger families bring a different list. Children need regular cleanings, and preteens soon raise questions about crowded teeth. Traditional braces and clear aligners are both offered, so parents can compare comfort, appearance and care in one visit.
Gum health touches every age. Periodontal charting at the first exam tracks pocket depth, bleeding and recession, so early changes are caught while they are still manageable. Digital X-rays add detail with minimal radiation exposure.
Care From the Dentist Rockledge, PA Families Drive To
Orthodontics
Braces and clear aligners for teens and adults, plus Six Month Smiles for adults who want to straighten front teeth with tooth-colored brackets. A quick evaluation shows which approach fits.
Family Dentistry
Exams with oral cancer screening, cleanings and digital X-rays for every generation in the house. Households from Rockledge can schedule several members in one morning.
Implants & Dentures
Full and partial dentures, titanium implants and implant-supported dentures anchored on two to four implants. A secure fit makes eating and speaking more comfortable.
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored composite fillings, crowns, bridges and root canal therapy. Replacing aging metal fillings with composite is a common request from long-time residents.
Not every visit leads to treatment. Many patients simply need a cleaning, updated X-rays and confirmation that nothing has changed since last time. When work is needed, Dr. Nadig lays out the options in order of priority, and the front desk sequences appointments around work and family. Text-message reminders then keep each step on the calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Rockledge, and how do I get there?

Huntingdon Pike turns into Oxford Avenue, then Rhawn Street, Bustleton, Borbeck and Ryan Avenues, and Rowland Avenue lead to Frankford Avenue. That puts a dentist Rockledge, PA residents can reach entirely on local streets within easy range. Rush hour may add several minutes.
What training does Dr. Nadig bring to Rockledge patients?
Dr. Nadig has practiced dentistry since 2014. He earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery at Queen Mary, University of London, completed a hospital residency in England and later earned his DMD from Boston University. He is a member of the AGD, AAID, ADA and AACD. He calls himself a true generalist who enjoys every area of dentistry.
Can Rockledge patients schedule appointments online?
Yes, online scheduling is available, so you can compare open times without waiting on hold. New patient forms can also be completed online before the first visit. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday run 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Tuesday runs 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Friday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM is by appointment only.
What should I do if a dental bridge feels loose?
Call for an exam soon, because a loose bridge can trap food and let decay start on the supporting teeth. Avoid sticky foods and chewing on that side in the meantime. An X-ray shows whether the anchor teeth are still healthy. Depending on the findings, the bridge may be reattached or replaced with a new bridge or an implant.
Can a loose denture be replaced with an implant-supported one?
Often, yes, because implant-supported dentures anchor on two to four implants and stop slipping. The office offers a free implant consultation to review bone, gum health and goals. Patients who wore a traditional denture for years often ask about this switch. The TeethXpress approach with Laser-Lok implants is part of what the practice offers.
