About the Doctor
 
Thomas H. Abele, DMD, FAGD, has been practicing at Delmar Dental Medicine since 1969.  Dr. Abele graduated from The University of Pittsburgh in 1969 with a degree in General Dentistry. His practice emphasizes the areas of implants,  restorative & cosmetic dentistry  and oral surgery.  He performs gentle dental care to patients of all ages.
 
     
 
 
 
  Dr. Abele's oral reconstruction practice emphasizes both function and cosmetics. He uses the latest technology to restore teeth with crown and fixed bridgework, as well as rebuilding jawbones with augmentation and grafting procedures during or after implant placement. Dr. Abele believes there is no reason to see people wearing dentures today when there are so many other aesthetic forms of treatment available.

Doctor's Approach: Delmar Dental Medicine is a general practice focusing on family dentistry. We offer a wide variety of dental services that range from routine cleanings and exams, cosmetic dentistry, fillings, to oral surgery, root canal, dentures and implant treatment.

Dr. Abele would like each patient to feel comfortable and confident in his dental practice. "You have to listen to patients. They will tell you how they want to be treated and what kind of treatment they are interested in. The key to a good dental practice is knowing how to work with your patients and direct them toward what will work best for them." (Dr. Abele)

Dr. Abele feels he has an obligation to keep patients informed of the latest technology that modern dentistry has to offer. "We try to educate our patients so they can make a more informed judgment about what treatment they wish to pursue. We are a family practice and strive to make the entire family feel at home." (Dr. Abele)
