General Dentistry in Williamsport

A Gentle Dental Experience

Do you know what’s important to your oral health? A healthy and consistent dental hygiene routine. Brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and rinsing with mouthwash are all great habits to get into. Getting regular check-ups at the dentist is also important—you should go at least once every 6 months.

It’s also crucial to find a place that you can call your “dental home.” This will be your spot for all your general dentistry and dental hygiene needs for years and years to come.

Comprehensive Exams

When you are a new patient with us, we perform a comprehensive exam to get a better understanding of your oral health.

Our comprehensive exams include:

Periodontal charting
X-rays
Photos (if needed)
Oral cancer examination
Bite and TMJ evaluation
Check for cavities

Oral Cancer Screenings

To mitigate your chances of contracting oral cancer, we undergo strict evaluations to ensure that you have a cancer-free future. We do this by:

Checking for signs of oral cancer with every hygiene visit
Performing visual/manual screenings
Using a VELscope for a more accurate evaluation of your soft tissues

X-Rays

Sometimes, it’s difficult to understand your oral health with visual screenings alone. That’s why
we offer:

Digital X-rays
Panoramic X-rays
CBCT Digital Impressions

With these tools, we can get a thorough understanding of your unique oral health needs, and our staff will be able to better discuss your options.

Dental Hygiene

We recommend that you have a regular dental hygiene check-up twice per year to ensure that your mouth is healthy for many smiles to come. During these appointments, we use the most advanced dental technology, including:

Cavitron
Prophy Jet
Safety Shields
Aerosol Evacuation
Spectra
CariVu
Smart Mirror (intraoral camera)

Periodontal Therapy

If you have gum disease, periodontal therapy is a great, non-invasive option to prevent further damage from occurring. Our list of periodontal treatment options includes:

Perio Protect
ARESTIN
Perio Chips

Although we do not offer surgical periodontal therapy, we can refer you to one of our trusted surgical partners if needed.

Fluoride Treatments

After your teeth have been cleaned by one of our hygienists, we can apply a fluoride treatment to prevent tooth decay and hinder plaque growth. When do you need a fluoride treatment? We perform fluoride treatments for kids at every visit and on adults as needed.

Mouthguards

Have problems grinding your teeth at night? Do your kids play high-impact sports? You may want to consider getting a mouthguard to protect you or your kids’ smiles. Give us a call to see how you can get a sports mouthguard for your kids (or a nightguard for yourself)!

Laser Dentistry

When you visit Ecker Family Dental, all of your dental needs can be addressed with our advanced laser technology. Our soft tissue, 3-diode lasers enable us to perform cold sore and lesion treatment, as well as frenectomies. Come visit us today to explore these options further!

Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies can be more than painful, they can be really scary. If you’re having an emergency, we want you to know that you don’t have to endure
it alone.

Even if it’s after hours, give our office a call. We will try to get you in as soon as possible.

Everyone here is very kind and wonderful; the rooms and open with big windows and lots to look at. I've been going here for a long time and will continue to do so!

I just started going to Dr. Ecker’s office and am so incredibly happy that I chose to come here! Procedures are painless, and everyone is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They were able to make me feel extremely calm and comfortable when I was nervous about a procedure, and it ended up going way better than expected. Dr. Ecker and the rest of the staff are just wonderful!!

Brooke

I have awful fear and anxiety about dental appointments, and if you have the same, I 100% recommend this place!!! Everyone is so so nice and Dr. Ecker is just about the kindest and calm man I've met. Very gentle, but works fast. Yesterday was the first time I'd received dental work at this office and it was the first time I've had a completely pain-free experience. I will only be coming here in the future.

Rebecca

Dr. Ecker is a very skilled dentist and is quite caring & compassionate. That being said, his staff is equally caring & compassionate. I had a dental emergency at a most inopportune time, and I was blessed that Kellie managed my call(s). She was kind, empathetic, concerned and competent. She “met me” where I was in my pain, and she provided me with steps to a solution. I was thankful then, and pleasantly surprised when she checked in on me a week later! True caring on that level is hard to see sometimes. Dr. Ecker’s patients are blessed by his outstanding staff!
Thank you, Kellie.
