When a patient in a dire situation
arrived at TLC Dental, owner and
hygienist Tracy-Lyn Casey knew that
she had to take action.
“He was told he would lose all of his
teeth, but was so fearful about coming
to this offi ce,” she recalled. “You
wouldn’t believe his smile now. He was
the most challenging perio case I have
ever done, and I am so proud of him.”
It is this desire to go the extra mile for
her patients that inspired Ms. Casey
to take over the South Scranton-based
practice. Since its opening in 2013, TLC
Dental Services has grown to serve
about 3,000 patients. Involved in every
aspect of patient care, Ms. Casey works
with a variety of insurances, including
national and state, to help provide
coverage to as many people as possible.
The practice also maintains a diverse
staff, including Spanish-speaking staff
members to accommodate every patient
and ensure effective communication.
“A lot of patients have had bad
experiences at the dentist; they really
need someone to hold their hand and
walk them through the process,” Ms.
Casey said. “I am happy to be that
person for them.”
The practice includes four dentists on
staff and because it is expanding so

rapidly, Ms. Casey plans on expanding
her offi ces starting next month. The
expansion will include entering the
space immediately next-door and
adding three dental chairs, offi ce
space, and handicapped-accessible
restrooms. The expansion is set for
completion this fall.
“We have a lot of folks that come in
who are in a desperate situation, in
pain or missing teeth, and who have
no confi dence,” Ms. Casey said. “I am
here to help them ease their fears,
work with their insurances, and get
them smiling again with the resources
they have. This is an underserved
location, and I am excited to be the
one who gets to help give our patients
the care they need and deserve.”
