Dental Examination
Many patients meet us for the first time because they have a dental emergency such as a toothache or broken tooth. This means the emergency is handled first and then the patient is scheduled for a comprehensive exam on their next visit.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Taking the life of one individual every hour in the United States, oral cancer requires early detection. Without it, a person’s chance of survival is slim. Fortunately, Dr. Herres and Dr. Votilla use the most current technology to detect any abnormal tissues.

Teeth Cleaning
Brushing, flossing, and rinsing are essential components of a good oral hygiene routine, but you must also maintain regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings to minimize your risk of dental decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other common oral health problems. With preventive dental treatments at Dentistry for Life, we can deliver timely care using safe and effective solutions designed to combat early signs of potential problems, giving you a better chance to enjoy a healthier smile for longer. Call us today to schedule an appointment for preventive dentistry in Lancaster, PA.
Fluoride Treatment
If you are prone to tooth decay and want to better protect your teeth from possible cavities later on, make sure to inquire about our fluoride treatments. While you may be exposed to it when drinking water or brushing your teeth, you may need additional help to strengthen your existing tooth enamel. During your regular checkup, we can quickly and painlessly apply it to the front surfaces of your teeth, creating a barrier between harmful particles and your tooth enamel.

Fillings
Resin Composite
In the past, traditional amalgam was the only way to fill a cavity. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case. With tooth-colored fillings, we can make it easy to help patients keep more of their natural tooth structure while also ensuring dental work blends in seamlessly. The tooth-colored composite resin easily fills in the area where the decay was removed, and the process takes only one visit to complete.
Veneers
Smile imperfections can leave you feeling embarrassed and uncertain about your future. When stains, chips, broken teeth, and even gaps and misalignment cause you to question your appearance, you may feel as if your smile is too far gone for professional help. But the truth is that at Dentistry for Life, our team is here to deliver the cosmetic care you need in the form of veneers. As customizable restorations designed for your smile, we can transform your aesthetics, giving you the dream smile you deserve. Call us today to learn more.
Crowns
CEREC same-day crowns are unlike any other restoration. Using advanced software that captures digital images of your smile, we can quickly make adjustments and fabricate your new and improved tooth in-house. This not only cuts down on the number of dental office visits but also eliminates the need for temporaries. You can also expect the same level of durability and functionality while also enjoying a natural-looking restoration that blends in beautifully with your smile.
Bridges
Dr. Votilla studied biology at the University of Dayton, graduating in 1981, and he earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine from Temple University’s School of Dentistry four years later. Since then, he has pursued significant advanced training through prestigious institutions such as the L.D. Pankey Institute, Dawson Academy, Aesthetic Advantage with Larry Rosenthal, Spear Education, and the Seattle Study Club. He is also certified to use CEREC technology to provide same-day crowns and bridges, and he has been an Invisalign provider since 2005.
Dental Bonding
Dental Bonding: Using composite resin that is matched to your natural tooth color, we can easily apply it to the enamel to cover minor flaws. Requiring only one visit and lasting several years, this is a highly affordable option when needing to conceal small chips or stains.
Restorative Dentistry
No one envisions their teeth damaged or decayed. When looking in the mirror, you want to see healthy smile staring back at you. Unfortunately, even those who are most diligent with their oral hygiene routine can suffer a cavity or facial trauma. This is why restorative dental treatments are commonly found in the list of comprehensive dentistry services offered at our dental office. Call us if you suspect you might need more complex care. We’re here to deliver the best results possible and help you feel more confident in your smile through personalized restorative dentistry in Lancaster, PA.

Root Canal Treatment
How We Treat Toothaches We won’t have a recommendation for you until you come in for an exam and we determine what the root of the problem is. If it’s an infection, then root canal treatment may be the answer. If it’s a small cavity, then a tooth-colored filling may be the solution.

Deep Cleaning
Once gum disease advances beyond gingivitis, the only solution is scaling and root planing. Also known as deep cleaning, this two-part process begins by removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline (scaling). We’ll then clean and smooth the tooth roots to minimize bacteria adhering to the surfaces in the future and encourage gum tissue to reattach to the teeth.

Dentures
For centuries, people have turned to dentures to replace missing teeth. Today’s materials and fit tend to be much better than they were years ago. If you’re faced with multiple missing teeth, and other tooth replacement options aren’t possible, we can create a customized partial or full denture just for you. Using only the best materials available, our team will make sure your new teeth look good, fit comfortably, and offer the best functionality possible when eating, speaking, and smiling.

Dental Implants
Want to learn more about the dental services we offer? Unsure if a particular dentistry treatment is right for you? Don’t know if a referral is necessary for dental implant placement? These are just some of the questions we receive from our dental patients regularly, and we want to make it easy to find the answers. Below, you’ll discover various answers we’ve provided for some of the most frequently asked dental questions. Please call our dental office if you do not see yours listed and would like to learn more.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
Most adults who face tooth loss are capable of receiving dental implants. The differentiator between those who are given the green light immediately versus those who are not is whether preliminary treatments are needed. For those who require bone grafting, periodontal therapy, or even tooth extraction, the hope of dental implants remains a possibility, no matter how many teeth are missing.
Bone Grafting

Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign has become one of the most popular orthodontic solutions because it can address multiple issues in a discreet and relatively quicker process. Not only can these trays straighten your pearly whites, but they can even help treat bite misalignment. Here are some of the most common problems Invisalign can help patients with.
Braces
If you didn’t undergo orthodontic treatment when you were younger, you may think you’ve missed the boat on straightening your teeth. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth! You’ll be happy to know that you don’t have to rely on traditional braces to correct noticeable gaps and misalignment. At Dentistry for Life, we offer Invisalign as an alternative solution so you can maintain a confident appearance throughout your treatment. To find out if this orthodontic service is right for you, continue reading or give us a call today !

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening can help many people who are dissatisfied with the color of their teeth. It might be right for you if...
Cosmetic Dentistry
The cost of cosmetic dentistry is likely to be one of the leading factors in your decision to move forward with treatment or not. Most people assume these services are financially out of reach, but that’s not true. While they are not typically covered by dental insurance, there are other ways to pay for care that don’t require you to forfeit your savings. Our team is here to help you through the financial process so that you can walk away with the smile of your dreams.
General Dentistry
Dr. Herres was raised in Wellsboro, a rural town in northern Pennsylvania, and he attended undergraduate school at Lycoming College in Williamsport. While he was in dental school at Temple University, he was the recipient of the prestigious health professional scholarship from the United States Navy. Upon receiving his degree, Dr. Herres was accepted into a one-year Advanced Education of General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at the Naval Hospital Great Lakes at the Navy Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, IL.
