Convenient Access from Ardmore
About 14 minutes of driving separates Ardmore station from Radnor Dental, a single-dentist practice in Radnor run by Dr. Kanupriya Kashyap. For anyone looking for a dentist near Ardmore who is willing to go a few stops west on the Main Line, the trip follows Montgomery Avenue and Lancaster Avenue with no tolls. Appointments are available Monday through Thursday, starting at 8:30 AM.
Begin at the station on Station Avenue and follow Anderson Avenue up to West Montgomery Avenue. Head west on Montgomery for about 2.3 miles, then use Airdale Road, East County Line Road and a short piece of North Ithan Avenue to reach Lancaster Avenue (US 30). Go west on Lancaster, then turn right onto King of Prussia Road, and the office is just up the road at Matsonford Rd. The total is 5.3 miles, and rush hour on Lancaster Avenue can add a few minutes.
The train station, the branch library and Lower Merion High School on East Montgomery Avenue are the anchors most residents already know. Our office sits at 304 King of Prussia Rd, Radnor, PA 19087, about a tenth of a mile from Radnor station, and you can see the location on Google Maps. Patients from Haverford, just to the west, share most of this route, while families in Havertown come up from the south.
Why Ardmore Families Make Radnor Their Dental Home
This is one of the larger Main Line communities, with about 13,500 residents at the 2020 census. It is a census-designated place that crosses the county line, with most of it in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, and its southern section in Haverford Township. Lancaster Avenue forms its downtown, lined with shops and apartments, while quieter streets like those in Merion Golf Manor and South Ardmore spread out behind it.
The community began as Athensville in 1853, and the Pennsylvania Railroad renamed it Ardmore in 1873 along with its station. The railroad still shapes daily life, since the station serves SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Line and several Amtrak Keystone trains each day. A local train covers the 8.5 miles to Suburban Station in Center City in roughly 22 minutes.
What stands out is the range of ages. At the 2020 census, a little over a fifth of residents were under 18 and nearly a fifth were 65 or older. A dental office serving this community has to be equally comfortable with a first-grader's checkup and a retiree's bridge repair.
That is what a family practice does well. One dentist who sees several generations of the same household learns the patterns, from inherited gum issues to the way a family's teeth tend to wear.
Community spaces fill out the picture. Vernon V. Young Memorial Park holds a public pool and the community center locals call "The Shack," while Linwood Park and Normandy Park serve the neighborhoods around them. The local library, part of the Lower Merion Library System, traces its roots to a public library that opened in 1899.
Dental Needs Across Every Generation in Ardmore
For children, the foundation is a regular dental exam and cleaning every six months. Those visits track new teeth as they come in, catch cavities between teeth with digital x-rays and give kids a chance to get comfortable in the chair. Families in both the Lower Merion and Haverford Township school districts follow the same basic routine.
Adults in the middle years tend to need the most variety. Cosmetic concerns such as staining or chipped edges, gum inflammation from a stressful stretch and old fillings that need replacing often arrive all at once. A clear plan that sorts the urgent from the optional keeps it manageable.
Older residents bring their own priorities. Gum health becomes more important with age, because the bone loss behind gum disease is what loosens teeth over time. Missing teeth are common too, and replacing them protects the bite and makes eating easier.
There is more than one way to fill a gap. A fixed dental bridge anchors a replacement tooth to its neighbors, while an implant stands on its own and leaves those teeth untouched. Dr. Kashyap uses cone beam CT imaging to see the bone in three dimensions when an implant is under consideration.
Comfort matters for every age group as well. Nitrous oxide is available for anxious patients, and music of your choice, blankets and breaks during treatment are always on offer.
Teens deserve their own mention. Contact sports, sugary drinks after practice and late-night snacking during exam season all add risk, and crowded teeth often become noticeable in middle school. A checkup twice a year gives Dr. Kashyap a chance to spot early wear, talk about aligners if they make sense and remind students how much a mouth rinse with water helps.
When something breaks, speed matters. New patients can book a $59 emergency exam and x-ray to find the cause of pain or damage, and the team holds time in the schedule for patients in discomfort, so an emergency may be treated the same day you come in.
Services From a Dentist Near Ardmore, Sorted by What Residents Ask For Most
Periodontics
Gum care ranges from deep cleanings to ongoing maintenance for patients with periodontal disease. It protects the bone that holds teeth in place, a priority for older residents.
Dental Implants
Implants replace missing teeth with a root-like post and a natural-looking crown. Planning starts with 3D imaging in our office, so there is no separate trip for scans.
General Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, fillings and x-rays for children and adults alike. Booking several family members in a row keeps the household on schedule with one drive.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, bonding and veneers address stains, chips and uneven edges. Composite veneers are often placed in a single visit, a good fit for busy commuters.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Radnor Dental from Ardmore, and how do I get there?
From the train station the drive is 5.3 miles, usually about 14 minutes. Head west on Montgomery Avenue, cross over to Lancaster Avenue by way of Airdale Road and County Line Road, then turn right onto King of Prussia Road. Neighbors seeking a dentist near Ardmore can make the whole trip without tolls.
What does Dr. Kashyap check during a routine dental exam?
She checks your teeth, gums, bite and the soft tissues of the mouth. That includes looking for cavities, cracks, worn fillings and early gum disease, with digital x-rays when they are due. She then explains what she found and which steps, if any, make sense next, whether you live in the Montgomery County or Delaware County part of Ardmore.
What should I expect after a filling?
Most people can return to normal activities right away. If you were numbed, wait until the feeling returns before eating so you do not bite your cheek. Mild sensitivity to cold for a few days is common, but a bite that feels high or pain that lingers should be checked so Dr. Kashyap can adjust the filling.
Do you treat teens from Ardmore?
Yes, teens are welcome for cleanings, exams and orthodontic questions. Many families pair a teen's checkup with a parent's visit. For crowded or spaced teeth, Dr. Kashyap can evaluate whether Invisalign clear aligners are a good fit, and new patients receive a free consultation plus $500 off treatment.
How can I pay for gum treatment without dental insurance?
Cherry financing lets you pay for gum treatment in monthly installments. The Dental Savings Plan covers routine preventive visits for patients without insurance, though it cannot be combined with other offers. New patients without insurance and without gum disease can also start with a $129 cleaning, exam and x-ray visit.
