A filling restores a damaged tooth back to its normal function and shape, and prevents further decay by eliminating areas of the tooth where bacteria can enter. There are a number of factors to consider when choosing which type of filling material is best for you; including the extent of the repair, any allergies you may have to certain dental materials, location of the filling and cost.
Scaling and Root Planing is a non-surgical deep cleaning around and below the gumline, all the way down to the bottom of the pocket, to remove plaque and tartar and any infection that may be developing or already present. The roots are then smoothed to help the gums reattach to the teeth. Scaling and root planing often take more than one visit to complete and may require a local anesthetic.

For fast and efficient whitening, we suggest supervised treatments by a dental professional. This option contains whitening agents in higher concentrations and produces quicker results than over-the-counter options. In fact, your teeth may be visibly whiter in just one visit! Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth.

Kyle earned his Doctorate of Dental Medicine at Temple University School of Dentistry and a Master of Molecular Biology and Genetics degree from Temple University School of Medicine, Dr. Kyle brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his patients. He has committed himself to a lifetime of learning and actively enrolls in continuing education courses to stay up-to-date with current advancements in every aspect of dentistry.
Having a healthy, bright, beautiful smile improves our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence. Although cosmetic procedures are usually elective, rather than essential, some treatments also provide restorative benefits. Thanks to the advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, in most cases, we are able to improve our smiles with simple, painless and surprisingly affordable treatments.
Having your teeth whitened is one of the easiest and safest ways to take years off your smile! Unsightly stains from food, beverages or tobacco use can be reduced or eliminated through our whitening process. Prior to whitening, you will receive a thorough exam to ensure that whitening alone will provide you with the results you're looking for.
Periodontal, or Gum, disease is a serious infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place and can destroy the jawbone. It is common but fairly preventable and typically caused by poor oral hygiene that allows plaque to build up on the teeth and harden, inflaming the gums which leads to tooth loss.

Highly recommended. Dr. Blashford is gentle and very thoroughly explained everything to do with my teeth. He also said this, which I thought was very sweet: "These wonderful teeth have been with you since you were six years old." (I'm now 62.) It made me appreciate my teeth more than ever.
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Dr. Blashford's office and highly recommend him. Oh, and he can give nitrous oxide (which is the reason I went; I have dental fears) and probably other types of sedation. So happy I found his practice!

Dr. Blashford and his staff are excellent! My husband and I have been going to them for 3 or 4 years and have been impressed by their absolute professionalism and expertise, and especially by the care that they take to ensure that your experience there is positive and painless. As an added note, just recently I had to have a filling near my front tooth and I honestly cannot see it at all. They are highly recommended !

I haven't been to the dentist in approximately 10yrs due to bad experiences and moving. I was very pleased with how the staff treated me. They took the fear out of going to the dentist. I just had two teeth removed and am anxiously awaiting to have a healthy and pretty smile again. Thank you for your kindness and caring for your clients and their smiles. :)

This office runs on time or early for appointments! Dr Blashford’s work is outstanding and he and his staff genuinely care about their patients. If you are at all anxious about going to the dentist, this is the place to be! Attention to detail and to you is important to them. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Would highly, and have many times over, recommend to anyone. This practice is a well oiled machine from the time you enter to the time you leave. I have had traumatic dental experiences in the past that have left me with a sense of what I can only describe as PTSD. My anxieties are high for dentistry procedures, but Dr. B and his staff always help to ease my fears and anxieties. No matter how embarrassed I may feel for needing Novocain or nitrous for the seemingly simple procedures, they always understand and actively listen to my concerns, which helps me to feel as completely relaxed and understood

Excellent quality of care! The entire staff is organized, friendly, and knowledgeable. The care you receive here is top notch and they really do care about what they are doing. If you are nervous about dental work they are super understanding and empathetic. I used to have so much anxiety about dental work I would avoid it and sit in the chair shaking. Since coming here I don’t feel anxious anymore. I highly recommend this place.

I was one of Dr Blashford’s first patients when he came to Carlisle and his office was on Pitt Street.
I had quite a few bad dental experiences in the past but never at Dr Blashford’s office under his care!
It’s been easy to build a great repore with the staff. The staff always makes me feel very comfortable and welcomed in the office and when… I’ve needed to call them on the telephone they always go out of their to accommodate my needs and requests.
I never feel pressured in having to make decisions regarding any additional dental work that is recommended. Always

My wife and I have used the Blashford Dentistry for well over 35 years. I totally trust them with all of my dental care.
Dr Blashford and his entire staff have always, yes always made us feel welcome and try extra hard to make us feel relaxed and comfortable.
We can't even imagine using this service any place else.
