Prices

For comparison, whitening is estimated at $500 to $1,200, bonding at $300 to $700 per tooth, and a crown at $1,000 to $2,000 per tooth.

Travel details

Why do Lawrence patients cross into Langhorne for care?

Lawrence patients often cross the Delaware because Alpha Dental Excellence is 18.5 miles away, about 27 minutes by measured route, and offers four dentists at one address. That mix makes the trip workable for families, commuters, and patients who want one office for routine and urgent care. The location at 240 Middletown Blvd in Langhorne gives Lawrence, Trenton, Ewing, Hamilton, Princeton, and Robbinsville patients a practical Pennsylvania option. If your plan includes out-of-network coverage, the office can help you understand what may apply before you commit.

What makes the trip worth it?

Measured routeThe drive is 18.5 miles and about 27 minutes from Lawrence, so you can plan around work, school, or bridge traffic.

Four dentistsOne address, four dentists, and a broad range of treatment options reduce the need to bounce between offices.

Established historyThe practice has treated 27,000+ patients since 2004 and has been named Best Dentist in the Philadelphia region eight years running.

Comfort care

What if you are anxious about dental treatment?

Oral and IV sedation are available in house, and the sedation consultation is complimentary, a $574 value. That visit includes a CBCT scan and a panoramic X-ray, which helps the team plan treatment before you decide on the next step. For a worried patient, that matters because you can ask questions, review imaging, and discuss comfort options in one place. Dr. Arpan Nalin Patel, DMD, earned his degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004 and has 22+ years of experience.

Urgent care

Can you get help fast if a tooth hurts today?

Yes. Same-day emergency slots are kept open daily, so a broken tooth, severe pain, swelling, or a lost filling can be assessed without waiting for a distant opening. That is useful for Lawrence patients who do not want a problem to worsen over the bridge. If you call early, the team can often sort out what needs immediate attention and what can wait for a fuller visit. With four dentists at one address, the practice can handle more than one type of urgent problem in a single location.

Emergency reasons to call

Broken toothA crack or fracture can be checked quickly before the tooth deteriorates further.

Pain or swellingSudden discomfort should not wait, especially if chewing or sleeping becomes difficult.

Lost restorationA missing filling or crown can expose the tooth and often needs prompt attention.

One-stop accessThe same office can evaluate, image, and plan care without sending you across town.

Payment options

How can you pay for treatment over time?

Interest-free payment plans run 12 to 24 months, and a $15,000 case would typically be about $625 to $1,250 a month. That can make larger treatment easier to manage when you are comparing New Jersey benefits with Pennsylvania care. The office can also review the cost of treatments that do have published estimates, such as Invisalign at $3,500 to $7,000, implants at $3,500 to $6,000 each, and full arch care at $15,000 to $30,000 per arch. Your exact plan is confirmed after examination.
