Doctor's Approach:

family dentistry 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 dental 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
