Convenient Access from Abington
Plan on about 12 minutes from the township building to Hatboro Horsham Family Dental, our two-dentist office on York Road in Hatboro. For anyone searching for a dentist in Abington, PA, the trip is direct: one long corridor north, with few turns. We care for children, teens and adults, and we keep Wednesday appointments open until 7:00 PM for people who work standard hours.
Start at the Abington Township Building, 1176 Old York Road, and simply take Old York Road (PA 611) north for about 1.6 miles. Bear left onto Moreland Road (PA 63) for a short stretch, swing right onto Easton Road, then keep right where York Road (PA 263) forks off toward Hatboro. About 2.6 miles later, turn right onto East Monument Avenue to reach 122 N York Rd Ste 2, Hatboro, PA 19040. The full drive is 4.8 miles, and our Google Maps listing will guide you the rest of the way.
The township building sits just north of the public library at 1030 Old York Road, and Jefferson Abington Hospital also stands along Old York Road. The busiest part of the drive is the Easton Road and York Road stretch through Willow Grove, and weekday rush hours or school pick-up times can add time there. Patients from Jenkintown and Glenside also come north along Old York Road or Easton Road.
Why Abington Families Make the Drive North
Abington Township is big. Its 58,502 residents in the 2020 census make it the second most populous township in Montgomery County, after Lower Merion. It is also one of the densest, and it covers 17 unofficial communities that people use in their mailing addresses, from Roslyn and Rydal to Meadowbrook and the hospital section.
With that many neighborhoods, there is no single "local" dentist for the whole township. What tends to matter is a practice you can reach on a road you already know. For most of the township, that road is Old York Road. Settlers gathered where it crossed Susquehanna Street Road by the 1690s, and the township was incorporated in 1704.
Our office sits at the far end of that same spine. Families get a calm, two-dentist practice. We take time with questions, and we would rather explain three treatment options than rush you into one.
Dental Priorities for a Busy Township
The township has SEPTA Regional Rail stops such as Roslyn, Noble, Meadowbrook and North Hills, plus school calendars and hospital shifts. A place with that much going on rarely keeps one schedule. Our hours start at 8:00 AM Monday through Wednesday, open at 9:00 AM on Thursday and run until 7:00 PM on Wednesday, which gives a working parent and a student two very different windows in the same week.
Kids in the township's public schools move from seven elementary schools to one middle school and then the senior high. Those years are the stretch when cavities in back teeth, crowded smiles and sports injuries tend to show up. Regular cleanings and checkups catch the first two early, and our emergency team handles the third.
Outside the classroom, the township keeps plenty of room for sport and play. Alverthorpe Park has fields, trails, a lake and a par-3 golf course, and the Abington Art Center, on the former Alverthorpe Manor estate, has a 27-acre sculpture park. Lorimer Park on Pennypack Creek and Briar Bush Nature Center round out the green space. Kids who play hard need a plan for a chipped or knocked-out tooth, and we are glad to go over one at a checkup.
A word on the hospital: it opened in 1914 as Abington Memorial Hospital, and today its Pennock Emergency Trauma Center is the only Level II trauma center in Montgomery County. It is the right place for a serious facial injury. For a broken tooth, a lost filling or a toothache, a dental office is usually the faster way to get the tooth itself repaired.
Adults who have put off care for a while are welcome too. Most start with a cleaning and exam, and our dentists then lay out what needs attention now and what can safely wait. If cost is part of the hesitation, our current new-patient specials and the membership plan below are both worth a look.
Five Ways We Help Patients Who Want a Dentist in Abington, PA
Invisalign®
Clear aligners treat crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites and crossbites in teens and adults. The process begins with a consultation and digital impressions instead of messy molds, which suits commuters who want discreet treatment.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Teeth whitening, porcelain veneers and composite fillings help commuters and professionals feel confident in meetings and photos. We match shade and shape to your face rather than a one-size template.
Emergency Dental Care
Tooth pain relief, chipped tooth repair and jaw pain (TMD) treatment are handled here. When you call with an urgent problem, our team makes every effort to see you the same day.
Family Dentistry
Cleanings, checkups, gum disease treatment, root canals, extractions and pediatric care form the everyday core of our work.
Restorative Dentistry
Crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants and implant restorations replace or rebuild teeth that have worn down over the years. Dr. Sampat can talk through implants with anyone who wants a fixed replacement for a missing tooth.
If straighter teeth are on your list, start with an Invisalign consultation to see whether aligners fit your bite and your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Hatboro Horsham Family Dental from Abington, and how do I get there?
From the Abington Township Building it is 4.8 miles, about a 12-minute drive. Take Old York Road north, follow Moreland Road and Easton Road briefly, then stay on York Road into Hatboro and turn onto East Monument Avenue. If you have been hunting for a dentist in Abington, PA with easy access, this route keeps you on main roads.
Can a cracked tooth be saved?
Often, yes, if it is treated early. A small crack may only need a filling or bonding, while a deeper one usually needs a crown to hold the tooth together. If the crack reaches the nerve, a root canal may come first. Call promptly, because cracks tend to spread with everyday chewing.
How does Invisalign treatment get started?
It starts with a consultation. Dr. Sampat, an Elite Preferred Invisalign Provider, looks at your bite and takes digital impressions, so there are no trays of impression putty. From there he can show whether aligners suit your crowding, gaps or bite and how a treatment plan would unfold for a teen or an adult.
Should I go to the ER or a dentist for a broken tooth?
For a broken tooth on its own, call a dentist first. Hospital emergency rooms are the right choice for heavy bleeding, a jaw injury, or swelling that affects breathing or swallowing. A cracked or chipped tooth, a lost filling or a toothache is usually best handled in a dental chair, where it can actually be repaired.
Can I whiten my teeth before a wedding or big event?
Yes. Teeth whitening is one of our cosmetic services, and timing it before a big event is common. Book a few weeks ahead so our dentists can check for cavities or gum problems first, since those should be treated before whitening. Existing crowns and fillings do not lighten, so they factor into the plan as well.
