What Pennsylvania Center for Dental Implants & Periodontics does

Pennsylvania Center for Dental Implants & Periodontics is a privately held, physician-owned dental specialty practice operating two clinical sites in the Philadelphia metropolitan area (NE Philadelphia at 9880 Bustleton Avenue and Lower Gwynedd Township at 1600 N Bethlehem Pike). The practice delivers three integrated service lines: dental implant procedures (All-On-4, SameDay Smile immediate-loading implants, esthetic/smile-zone implants, crown and bridge implants, titanium-zirconium alloy implants), periodontal treatments (LANAP laser therapy, Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique gum rejuvenation, laser depigmentation, non-surgical gum disease treatment, gum recontouring, tori removal, gum health maintenance), and reconstructive care (sinus augmentation, bone and gum loss treatment using Gem-21, Emdogain, and PRGF biologics, orthodontic extrusion).

The clinical technology stack is differentiated by operator-dependent, certified techniques rather than software: FDA-cleared PerioLase MVP-7 laser for LANAP, Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique certification for scalpel/suture-free gum recession treatment, Piezosurgery ultrasonic bone surgery, CBCT cone-beam 3D imaging for treatment planning, and titanium-zirconium alloy implants for smaller, stronger placement. The practice has offered SameDay Smile immediate-loading implants since 1994, predating most U.S. competitors.

The business model is direct professional-services fee-for-service with two customer-acquisition paths: (1) a formalized referral program from general dentists via a dedicated online referral form and collaborative-return-to-referrer workflow, and (2) direct-to-consumer patient acquisition through the practice website, Google reviews (5-star, 400+ patients cited), and patient testimonials. Revenue derives from five streams: implant procedures, periodontal treatments, reconstructive care, cosmetic periodontal procedures, and patient-financing facilitation (CareCredit, GreenSky, Lending Club). Pricing is set per procedure and disclosed at initial consultation; insurance predetermination is provided as a courtesy. The practice is led by Owner and Clinical Director Dr. Philip L. Fava II, joined by three additional board-certified periodontists (Drs. Schoenebeck, Cutler, and Vayner), with no external investors or parent-company structure identified. Marketing channels concentrate on professional referrals, study-club networking (ITI Philadelphia Tri-State and SPEAR), patient reviews, and content marketing on the practice website.

• Pacific Dental Services: Dental support organization providing business infrastructure to supported practices, including specialty services like periodontics and implants; competes for specialists and referral flow at the practice-management level.
• Affordable Dentures & Implants: National DSO concentrating on dentures and dental implants with fixed pricing; competes directly for edentulous and partial-dentition patients considering full-arch implant options like the practice's All-On-4 and SameDay Smile offerings.
• Western Dental & Orthodontics: Large multi-state DSO offering general, specialty, orthodontic, and implant services with significant Medicaid and private payer presence; competes in the broader specialty dental services market the practice operates in.
