Pfeffer J Richard Jr DMD MDS

General dental needs can quickly become complicated without the right practice at hand. Family dentistry covers everything from routine cleanings to more involved procedures, so a reliable office eases the process. Clear records and straightforward billing help patients focus on care rather than paperwork, which matters more than many realize.

Pfeffer J Richard Jr DMD MDS occupies the Logan Boulevard corridor near downtown Altoona. The brick storefront blends into the neighborhood, which provides quick access without heavy traffic. Families passing by or new residents searching for a dentist often spot the sign after crossing the railroad tracks.

Preventive visits anchor most day-to-day schedules, yet emergencies and cosmetic concerns still arise. Crowns, bridges, and partials handle structural repairs, while simple fillings keep decay from spreading. The practice also schedules orthodontic consultations—no referral necessary—and handles basic oral surgery when a tooth needs removal. Night guards and sports mouthguards round out the offerings for grinding and impact protection.

The office sits at 508 Logan Blvd, Altoona, PA 16603, a short hop from US-220 if you’re coming from the west end. Call (814) 943-5521 to schedule without waiting on hold for long. Glance at their directions if you’re unfamiliar with the one-way segments around the hospital.
