About Fellows & Smink Dental Associates
Looking for a dentist in Pottsville PA who can see the whole family, file your PPO insurance, and explain what’s going on without a lot of jargon? That’s what we do at Fellows & Smink Dental Associates. Dr. Scott Fellows and our team have been caring for patients across Schuylkill County for years, from a child’s first cleaning to a grandparent’s new set of dentures.
Our office sits on West End Avenue, easy to reach from Saint Clair, Minersville, Schuylkill Haven, Orwigsburg, Cressona, Port Carbon, and Palo Alto. Most appointments start with a quiet conversation about what’s bothering you or what you’d like to prevent. From there we use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to actually show you what we see, so the plan we recommend makes sense before any work begins.
We keep a wide range of care under one roof on purpose. That means cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, gum care, extractions, and implants are all handled by people you already know, instead of sending you across the county to a stranger. For families juggling school schedules and work shifts, that one detail saves a lot of time.
How We Can Help
Here’s a quick look at what we do most often. If you don’t see what you need, ask. We probably handle it, and if we don’t, we’ll point you to someone who does.
Why Pottsville families stay with us
The short answer is that we try to make dental visits a normal part of the year, not a stressful event. Appointments run on time. The front desk knows your name. The hygienist remembers that your son plays football and asks how the season is going. Small things, but they’re the reason patients send their grown kids and their parents to us too.
On the clinical side, we lean on prevention. Digital X-rays paired with the Overjet Iris system help us spot cavities and bone changes earlier than the human eye alone, and intraoral cameras let you see exactly what we’re talking about on a screen. When a tooth does need work, we explain it in plain language: what’s happening, what the options are, and what each one costs once your insurance is applied.
We accept all PPO dental insurance plans and file the claims for you, so you’re not chasing paperwork after every visit. For patients without coverage, we offer flexible payment options and will sit down to map out a plan that fits your month, not just your mouth.
