Where this file and the agent disagree, the agent is current. ## About Advanced Family Dental Advanced Family Dental in Elkins Park, PA describes itself on its page as "Affiliated with The Smilist Dental", and the page is headed "Expert Dental Clinic in Elkins Park, PA". The welcome text says the team of dentists and dental professionals is committed to meeting patients' dental needs under one roof. The Smilist group states on its site that it has over 115 dental locations in the Northeast; Elkins Park is one office within that group, so anything published about the group as a whole does not automatically describe this office. The Elkins Park page lists what it calls a dental experience built around quality and convenience: affordable dental care, direct insurance billing, emergencies seen promptly, convenient office hours, CareCredit financing available, PPE and safety protocols followed, advanced dental technology, and passionate and caring dentists. A further section describes a modern office with advanced dental technology, insurance accepted, dentists the group describes as highly rated and well reviewed on top directory sites and Google, and a focus on patient safety and comfort. The page also says the practice aims for clear communication, thoughtful treatment planning and a welcoming environment from a first visit through ongoing care. The Elkins Park location page does not name the dentists who work at this office, and it does not publish their degrees, licence numbers, specialties or years in practice. The group website has a separate directory of dentists and orthodontists for the organisation as a whole, but that listing is not tied to this address on the location page. Anyone who needs to know which dentist they will see, or a provider's credentials, should ask the office on (215) 663-1223 or email elkinspark@thesmilist.com.

General dentistry covers routine treatment described on the page as exams, cleanings and x-rays. Restorative treatment listed includes fillings and crowns as well as bridges and dentures. Cosmetic dentistry is offered at the Elkins Park office. The page names teeth whitening to help remove stains built up from coffee or food, and composite or porcelain veneers, described as thin restorations customised to fit the teeth and placed over the top of them. For whitening specifically, the page says the office offers both take-home teeth whitening kits, described as a more gradual solution, and in-office teeth whitening treatments. It suggests calling or emailing the Elkins Park office to discuss which option suits a particular person; the page does not state what result any individual will get. Invisalign is offered as a clear, removable alternative to braces, using custom-fit clear plastic aligners instead of metal brackets. The page describes it as a choice for patients with crowding, minor spaces between the teeth, overbites and underbites, and says it works for patients of all ages. Emergency appointments are offered when the unexpected happens, including after an accident or when a person is in dental pain. The page advises calling the dental office for immediate dental care, and says that if an emergency is severe or happens after business hours a person should seek attention from an emergency room. The Elkins Park page does not publish a full treatment menu, does not say which specialist treatments (such as implants, root canals or oral surgery) are performed on site rather than elsewhere in the group, and does not list treatment times. Those questions should go to the office on (215) 663-1223.

Names Pennsylvania as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published. ## Prices The only price published for the Elkins Park, PA office is a new patient offer. The page advertises a New Patient Special of "Cleaning, Exam and Digital X-Rays" starting at $139, described as a visit that includes a professional cleaning, a dental exam and digital X-rays. The site adds two conditions in small print: "Pricing may vary by location" and "Limited-time offer for new patients." Whether the $139 rate currently applies at Elkins Park should be confirmed with the office before booking. No other prices, rates, fees or cost figures are published for this office. There is no fee schedule for fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, veneers, whitening, Invisalign or emergency visits. Anyone asking what a treatment will cost needs a quote or estimate from the practice rather than a figure from the website. The website does describe how estimates are produced. It says the dental team can help with benefits and estimates to give a patient an idea of what their insurance coverage is and how much they can expect out of pocket, and the group insurance page refers to plan verification, a benefits check and pre-treatment cost estimates. The practical route to a price is therefore to call (215) 663-1223 with the treatment in question and insurance details, or to raise it at an exam appointment. On paying, the Elkins Park page lists affordable dental care, direct insurance billing and CareCredit financing among its features. The group financing pages also mention no-interest or low-interest patient financing options through CareCredit and Alpha Eon Credit. Financing approval, terms and interest rates are not published and are set by the finance provider, not by the website. Source: https://thesmilist.com/dentist-locations/pennsylvania/elkins-park-dentist/ ## Accreditation and credentials The Elkins Park, PA page states that most dental insurance plans are accepted at this office and that, as a courtesy, insurance claims are submitted on the patient's behalf. It says the dental team can help with benefits and estimates so a patient has an idea of their coverage and expected out-of-pocket cost, and that financing options are offered for out-of-pocket totals. The group insurance page names carriers including Aetna, Aetna Access, Ameritas, ASO/SIDS, Assurant (DHA), Cigna PPO, DDS, Delta Dental PPO, DentalSave, EDP Discount Plan, Empire BlueCrossBlueShield, Guardian, MetLife, United Concordia and United HealthCare. That same page states plainly that "Coverage varies by location." Because of that, a carrier appearing on the group list is not confirmation of how a specific plan is handled at Elkins Park, and network participation for any individual plan has to be verified with the office. The site's own instruction is to call so the front desk team can check a specific insurance. On claims, the group page says the front desk team takes care of submitting and tracking claims directly with the insurance company after a visit, and describes plan verification, a benefits check and pre-treatment cost estimates as part of the process. The website does not publish, for the Elkins Park office, a list of plans it participates in, any reimbursement percentages, deductibles, annual maximums, or what a given plan pays toward a given treatment. It also does not say whether Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare dental benefits are handled here. Patients should call (215) 663-1223 with their plan name and member details for anything coverage-related.
