How does one choose an Aesthetic Dentist?
Unlike a hairstylist or beautician, your teeth don’t grow back if you don’t like the ‘style.’ Once restored by your dentist, the new teeth are yours for many years. Finding the right Aesthetic Dentist with a proven history of excellence and dedication can save you many years of grief and despair.
In short, getting the work done right the first time is always better. When you visit the office of Dr. David J. Weinstock, you can be assured of exceptionally skilled, personalized care that effectively addresses your dental needs and goals. Excellent results and your complete satisfaction are the standards by which we measure our success.

Your Integrated Complex-Care Specialist in Bala Cynwyd & Philadelphia, PA
Finding a dentist who can manage the full scope of your oral health is rare. This includes treating everything from gum disease and failing implants to bite collapse and complete smile rehabilitation. Most patients are forced to navigate a fragmented system. They see one provider for surgery, another for restorations, and yet another for cosmetic refinement. This approach leads to miscommunication, delayed treatment, and results that fall short of expectations.
Dr. David J. Weinstock offers a different path. He is one of the few dentists in the Philadelphia region with advanced specialty training in both periodontics (gum and bone health) and prosthodontics (tooth replacement and restoration). This dual expertise allows him to serve as your single point of contact for complex dental care. He guides you from diagnosis through final restoration, all in one location.
If you are searching for a dentist who can coordinate and execute comprehensive treatment plans, Dr. Weinstock is the expert you need. He handles complex problems like failing dental implants, full-mouth reconstruction, and the breakdown of old dental work.
Why Choose a Prosthodontist for Complex Care?
Dr. Weinstock is a board-certified prosthodontist. This specialty is recognized by the American Dental Association, which requires three additional years of advanced training beyond dental school. Prosthodontists are the architects of the dental world, specializing in the restoration and replacement of teeth to create functional, natural-looking, and long-lasting results. They lead teams of dental professionals to solve complex oral health problems, particularly for patients with missing teeth, damaged teeth, or bite issues.
Unlike a general dentist, a prosthodontist specializes in the comprehensive rehabilitation of the entire mouth. They consider how your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and muscles work together. This holistic understanding ensures the long-term success of complex treatments like full-mouth reconstruction, dental implants, and the restoration of old, failing dental work.
The Integrated Care Advantage: One Expert, One Plan, One Place
When your care is scattered among multiple providers, you risk:
- Inconsistent treatment plans and conflicting opinions
- Delays and miscommunications that extend treatment time
- Results that don’t harmonize aesthetically or functionally
- No single provider who takes full accountability for your outcome
Dr. Weinstock’s integrated approach eliminates these problems. He has the training and experience to perform and coordinate all phases of your complex care, including:
- Comprehensive diagnosis using advanced imaging and digital planning
- Surgical placement of dental implants (when needed)
- Management and treatment of gum disease
- Complex restorative work, including crowns, bridges, and implant-supported prosthetics
- Cosmetic refinement to ensure your new smile looks natural and balanced
His position as a Clinical Professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, where he supervises and teaches the next generation of dentists. Hee remains at the cutting edge of dental science and techniques. This academic leadership is a testament to his deep knowledge and skill, making him a trusted expert for even the most challenging cases.
Patient Pathways: Targeted Care for Specific Needs
To simplify your journey, we have identified common pathways for patients seeking our advanced care. If your situation sounds familiar, you are likely a candidate for Dr. Weinstock’s expertise.
Failed or Failing Dental Implants
Dental implants have a high success rate, but they can sometimes fail from infection, bone loss, improper placement, or mechanical issues. If you are experiencing pain, looseness, or inflammation around an implant, or if your implant-supported restoration has broken or looks unnatural, you don’t have to live with it.
Dr. Weinstock has the specialized prosthodontic training to diagnose the root cause of the failure and create a salvage plan. He can perform a bone graft, treat any peri-implantitis (infection around the implant), and design a new, secure, and aesthetic restoration to give you a fresh start.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction
If you have multiple missing or severely damaged teeth, an improper bite, chronic pain, or advanced wear, you may need a full-mouth reconstruction. This process involves rebuilding or replacing all of your teeth to restore their function, health, and appearance. It’s not a single procedure but a comprehensive treatment plan that might combine dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and periodontal therapy.
Dr. Weinstock acts as the director of your entire reconstruction. He uses advanced digital planning to ensure that the final outcome is predictable, comfortable, and beautiful.
Old, Failing, or Outdated Dental Work
Dental crowns, bridges, and fillings aren’t permanent. Over time, they can break down, leak, or simply look outdated. New decay can form around the margins, causing pain and threatening the health of the underlying tooth.
Dr. Weinstock is an expert at identifying failing restorations and replacing them with modern, durable materials that are stronger, longer-lasting, and more natural-looking than older options. He can also address the underlying bite issues that may have caused the original restorations to fail.
Complex Cosmetic Rehabilitation
Cosmetic concerns run deeper than surface stains. If you have crooked, misshapen, or gapped teeth, you may be considering treatments like porcelain veneers or Invisalign. However, when these issues are accompanied by bite problems, missing teeth, or gum disease, you need more than a cosmetic dentist; you need a prosthodontic expert.
Dr. Weinstock ensures that your cosmetic results are built on a foundation of health and function. He ensures your smile will not only look beautiful but also be stable and comfortable for decades.
Advanced Gum Disease (Periodontitis)
Untreated gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Dr. Weinstock’s specialty training in periodontics means he has the deep knowledge to treat this disease at its source. He offers advanced, minimally invasive therapies, including laser gum treatment, to eliminate infection and regenerate lost gum tissue and bone. By stabilizing your gum health, he creates a solid foundation for any future restorative or implant work you may need.
