Serving Kennett Square
Kennett Square’s
implant practice,
since 1989.
The Kennett Center for Advanced Dentistry has been on North Union Street since Dr. Patellis opened it in 1989. A good many of the families who came in during that first decade are still patients, and some of their children now are too.
Why people come here
- Surgery and the finished teeth done by one dentist, under one roof
- Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists
- Fellow of the Misch Institute — and faculty at its successor
- A written, itemized plan before anything is scheduled

What we do
The treatment Kennett Square patients come for.
Single tooth implants
One implant, one crown, and the teeth either side left completely alone.
Full-arch and All-on-4
Four to six implants carrying a fixed arch that does not come out at night.
Implant bridges
Three or four teeth in a row on two implants, rather than one implant per tooth.
Implant dentures
A denture that snaps onto implants instead of floating on the gum.
Bone grafting and sinus elevation
Rebuilding the ridge, or creating height in the upper back jaw, so an implant becomes possible.
Second opinions
On implant work planned or already done elsewhere. Bring whatever records you have.
Why people travel for this
One dentist, start to finish.
Being local is not the reason to choose a dentist, but it helps for implant treatment specifically. Implant cases involve several appointments spread over months, and a five-minute drive rather than an hour makes the difference between keeping the schedule and letting it slip.
What makes the treatment worth having is that the same dentist plans it, performs the surgery and fits the finished teeth. Dr. Patellis is a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and teaches implant surgery at the Resnik Implant Institute.
Start with an exam and a straight answer.
A consultation includes an examination, 3D imaging and a written, itemized plan. If implants are not the right treatment for you, Dr. Patellis will say so and tell you what is.
