East Berlin Smiles

East Berlin Smiles, originally referred to as East Berlin Family Dentist, is a prominent dental clinic located at 113 Harrisburg St, East Berlin, PA 17316. The practice was founded in 1987 in a building designed to replicate 19th-century colonial architecture, contributing to a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The clinic prides itself on building trust with patients and providing comprehensive dental care for the entire family. The primary dentist, Dr. Lorena Cockley, DDS, MAGD, is highly experienced and committed to continuous learning in the dental field, having achieved Mastership status in the Academy of General Dentistry (a distinction held by only 2% of general dentists nationwide).

East Berlin Smiles offers a wide range of services including general dentistry, preventive care, restorative dentistry, oral surgery, cosmetic dentistry (including smile makeovers, porcelain veneers, and teeth whitening), dentures, night guards, and endodontics. They emphasize patient comfort and utilize advanced technology such as digital X-rays (reducing radiation exposure by 75%), SOPROLIFE™ for early cavity detection, Isolite™ for improved comfort and efficiency during procedures, ozone treatment for decay reversal, Piezo Scaler™ for comfortable cleanings, and soft tissue lasers for precise and virtually painless treatments. The clinic also provides amenities like massage chairs, a coffee bar, and heated neck wraps to enhance the patient experience.
