Best dentists ever! They take really good care of me. They erase all the fears from prior traumatic experiences. Give them a try you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

I came in to get a consult on a chipped tooth and the front staff was great, however the vibe was weird. I saw an interaction where one of the doctors legitimately ignored their own staff member. I didn't think too much of it, because I don't know the culture there. So I did some asking around since I know some folks that have worked there in the past. Apparently turnover is incredibly high, as at least 5 people have resigned in the past 6 months. There isn't much communication as an entire team, which is obviously a problem with such a small office. Doctors are passive-aggressive to the employees they don't like. They use ableist language and get weirdly upset when people take sick days. Also, there have been microaggressions against Black and Brown staff members. I know 3 people who have worked under these doctors, and it sounds like they do great work, however I'll NEVER support an office that treats their staff so terribly. read more

Had a cavity filled here 10 months ago. Filling required additional work done to it less than a year later. Called and emailed multiple times to see what kind of recourse they would offer and got passed around from hold to promised calls back that never came. Eventually they just stopped responding. Would not recommend! read more

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE! My wife spent a considerable amount for veneers. They invited her back for a deep cleaning and assured they would check insurance eligibility prior to the appointment. They went through with the cleaning, then admitted afterwards that they actually never checked the insurance, sticking us with the bill. After months and months of back and forth, they still would not do us the courtesy of admitting their own fault and covering the few hundred for the cleaning (after having already taken tens of thousands from us). To add insult to injury, they offered another free cleaning to "compensate" for the trouble. Turns out, this was another lie. Instead of being complimentary, they actually charged the insurance without us knowing, which resulted in more headaches. Dentistry For Life does not care about its customers and does not do business with integrity. They take tens of thousands of dollars without batting an eye, yet will not correct their own mistakes of a few hundred. Check other reviews for similar billing and insurance nightmares. read more

Top quality service. Definitely would recommend if you're looking for perfectionism. Best dentist office in town. Great ambiance and everyone is just so friendly and just feels like they love what they do. read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Parikh and his staff. Getting dental implants was absolutely life changing. It had been a dream of mine for so long. Dr. Parikh and his staff made it happen. They were truly supportive of my journey and made me feel comfortable, as if I were among friends, at every visit. read more

Unethical Practices and Poor Quality Care: A Warning My experience at this dentist office was nothing short of a disaster. Firstly, the receptionists seem nice but really they are very careless and lazy. Their only job was to check if my insurance was in-network or not and they had months in advance to check before my appointment but they didn't do it until the day of my appointment. On the day of my appointment, when they had already stabbed me with 6 novocaine shots, they had the nerve to come in and told me that I had to pay for this entire procedure out-of-pocket because they had just checked and found out that my insurance does not cover for work done at their office. What was I supposed to do? I'm already in pain and all drugged up so I paid. But it could have been completely free for me if they had done their job in the first place and told me that I was not covered and I could have had time to look for another dentist office that is covered by my insurance to go to. I feel like they purposely do this so they could take as much as they could from anyone that walks into their office. They knew they did me wrong so they told me that they will file a claim with my insurance after and will refund me back what the insurance send them. Well guess what, I waited for months and didn't see any refund or even hear back from them. I called them to check and found out that they didn't even file the claim yet. Of course I was shocked by the lack of professionalism displayed by the staff so I asked to speak to the owner/manager. She tried to make amends for her staff's laziness by offering me a free cleaning. Once again, it became clear that their main goal was to squeeze as much money out of me and my insurance as possible, rather than genuinely helping me get my money back or fixing the problems that they caused. Free wasn't really free. I found out that they made a few more claims with my insurance that I did not get done with them just to cover for the "free" cleaning that they offered me. Overall, I would strongly advise against trusting this dentist office with your oral health. Their unethical practices and subpar care are simply unacceptable. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for a dentist who values integrity and professionalism. read more

Direct from "boss" - quotes on work are not binding - instead they cancelled my work and told me to go back to a specialist I saw in 2021 even though I'm no longer in that state. periodontal disease is treated at this company and instead of honoring the quote for deep cleaning at another office (I was told glen mill can't do the deep clean) , I was simply dismissed. read more

I haven't been to the dentist in years! About 10 to be exact! I'm scared of the tools also I got tired of people telling me, what I need to do with my teeth instead of listening of what I want to do with my teeth!! My first visit was phenomenal! I felt comfortable and they work with me on what I want and what I need! This is literally just the beginning guys I can't wait to upload the rest of my journey!! read more

I've only had one appointment here but they are great. Very nice and accommodating, much better than my previous dentist (who's in the same building). After my appointment I actually cried because I was so overwhelmed with how much better this place is. read more

I'm a flight attendant for a major airlines, with furloughs quickly approaching I had called several dental offices and they were either unwilling or unable to see me. I called Dentistry for Life and they set me up with an appointment the next day. The staff was friendly, very accommodating and made getting my insurance info so si. I had nothing but ease from booking appointment , to the moment I left. Dr. Parikh was so kind and did a great job on my fillings. He was friendly and welcoming, being new to Philadelphia he had awesome suggestions on places to visit. It can be so nerve-wracking being in a new city and having to find a new dentist office. I felt nothing but welcomed and at ease. Dr.Parikh made sure I was comfortable while he did my fillings. I highly recommend this office, already have sent over some co-workers. read more

So I just came here a few mornings ago. The front desk staff/hygienist were beyond friendly. They allowed me to sit in the back because of the construction going on. The main thing I didn't like was Dr. Kunal Parikh. He walked past me several times and I spoke twice however he continued to keep walking with a very unfriendly facial expression. I mean, I'm not getting service for free, and even if I was, for someone that trolls Yelp responding to negative reviews with a sarcastic tone you would think saying a simple "hello", "good morning " wouldn't be too difficult. read more

I've had a long history of anxiety surrounding my teeth. So when I found out I would have to get two implants and the goal was to do both in one day, I was not super psyched. I had gone through the implant process once before with a different dentist and the experience was scarring. My experience with Dr. Parikh and the Dentistry for Life team was quite the opposite. It felt like he was able to get through two implants in the amount of time it took my other dentist to do one. And while I had soreness and pain for almost two weeks with my other dentist and one implant, I didn't even need ibuprofen after day two with Dr. Parikh. As someone who has anxiety about the dentist I'm constantly recommending Dentistry for Life to others! read more

I became a patient at Dentistry For Life about five months ago. Since then, I have had my teeth cleaned twice and recently had surgery to have one implant Dental Restoration done. The service the staff and Dr. Patel provided me was A1 they are all true professional who cares about their patients. If you are looking for excellent service from honest professionals that take pride in their work, look no further than Dentistry For Life! In my opinion I have found my DENTIST FOR LIFE!!! read more

I went for a exam and cleaning and it was great. Everyone is always very friendly and personable! They are also very accommodating.

soy Ana paciente del Doctor Parikh y quiero recomendar ya que mi experiencia con el fue totalmente diferente , soy una mujer con mucho miedo alas agujas y todo su equipo me brindaron la confianza para dejar que trabajaran en mi boca . estoy muy encantada con el trabajo que hicieron en mi.es un sueño hecho realidad se los recomiendo al 100 y lo más importante que el idioma no fue un problema ya que ellos hablan español y el idioma que no entiende ellos buscan cómo comunicarse con el paciente . grasias doctor y a todo su equipo por cambiarme la vida con una sonrisa nueva . read more

I was very nervous about getting dental implants. I decided to get the implants (top and bottom). After having chemo all my front teeth started to become loose at the same time! I contacted two other dental offices and finally decided on Dentistry for Life. From my first visit, I knew I could trust what they were telling me about treatment options. The entire staff was warm and courteous. They helped to alleviate the intense fear I have always had for dentists. The office manager, Leanna, helped me right there in the office to get the financing I needed. Both Drs. Parikh and Patel are professionals and very knowledgeable and it is clear they know their stuff. I got the entire initial procedure completed in one visit and now I have to heal to get my final implants. In the meantime, I have a great set of temporaries that look as good as the final set. I'm showing off my new teeth to everyone. I am looking forward to getting my permanent 4-5 months from now. read more

Dentistry for Life is a dentist office I actually look forward coming to. Dr. Patel and Dr. Parikh are a dream team. It's the first time I felt I could trust my dentists completely and that they had my best interests in mind. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The rest of the staff as well is such a joy. From the moment you walk in, to sitting in the patient rooms with your choice of fun music to rock out to during your procedures, it's an excellent experience that I will be recommending to all of my friends! Not to mention my smile had me in happy tears. I had years of bad dental work done as a teenager, but Dr. Patel and Dr. Parikh fixed that all for me with their expertise and professionalism. They made me feel healthier and more confident than ever. read more

Dr.Kunal Parikh and Dr. Patel are amazing dentists. They are very knowledgeable and very honest . The staff is very good too and the office is very clean and high tech . I go to Dr.Parikh for X-rays and cleanings and my father just had new teeth Implants and they look perfect. read more

Moving to a new city comes with many challenges and finding the best healthcare providers is at the top of my list. After days, weeks, even a few months "mission accomplished" for dental care. First of all being able to get a Saturday appointment was beyond the best for my work schedule. Everything from the office decor to the hospitality is warm, inviting, and extremely friendly. Professionalism Customer Service ...I feel very confident in the care I will receive going forward. I left the office feeling excited about the dental care plan that we discussed not to mention it's a plan customized just for me not a "one size" fits all generic plan. read more

Great service!! Would recommend to anyone in philly. Very simple and great office!!!!

There's a reason these guys have all 5 star reviews, which is pretty uncommon for a dentist office. Both dentists are super knowledgeable and really nice cool people and the same goes for the rest of the staff, everyone seems to be happy to be there which is the total opposite of my previous dentist experiences. I just got molded for Invisalign by Dr Patel and had a pretty intricate tooth extraction and new implant surgery done by Dr Parikh and all I can say is he does great work. The procedure was done ahead of schedule and I didn't even take a single Ibuprofen even though I was worried about the pain and left the weekend open, I was feeling back to normal that evening and didn't even have any pain at all it was seriously amazing. Can't recommend them more... read more

Being newish to the Philadelphia area I always turn to Yelp to guide me in the direction of what is "loved by the people" and they haven't let me down yet! I am someone who went 2 years without seeing a dentist because I get so much anxiety from doing so, yet when I showed up for my cleaning I was very candid and not once was I shamed. My dental hygienist made me feel proud for coming in and very safe, I wore my headphones the whole time and before I knew it, it was over! Not only that but I already booked my 6 month follow up :) Dr. Parikh came in to give me the once over and discussed with me where my anxiety stems from and options the practice has with procedures to aid with those feelings. Thank you for giving me back my squeaky clean Texas smile! read more

Thanks to Dr. Patel, I now have the most amazing smile. The veneers are beautiful...just the right shade and shape. I get compliments all of the time. The staff are the best! Not only do they do great work in this office but they are kind, and always make me feel valued as a patient. Highly recommend! read more

As a professional in an emergency situation, I came to the Dentistry For Life. I am overall glad that I came to their offices. The type of oral attention I needed performed was out of the scope of work that Dr. Parkih and Dr. Patel would normally handle, but because of how critical the situation was, they were able to take care of re-cementing my tooth. The best part was this was all done in less than a hour. The precision and accuracy was on par, so it's safe to say I will return although my insurance is not accepted by their offices. As a result, I was given a discount on my emergency first visit, and I was pleased with the customer service. Thanks and I can't wait until my next visit, because I doubt I have another experience such as the one I had with the Dentistry For Life team! read more

I was a patient of Dr. Dubin's (JFK Dental) before they moved here and eventually he retired. Leanne - the office manager is just terrific. We moved to the "burbs - so I don't come here any more - but I was a patient for years and had some great cleanings by caring hygienists and staff. Love. This. Practice. (Miss Dr. Dubin, though - he is living the life in Mexico now.) read more

I'd moved to Philadelphia late last year and it was an easy decision to check out Dentistry For Life, given their amount of 5 star reviews. After a few appointments in, I can confidently say that they their rating is 100% justified. Every single point of interaction with them - scheduling, communication, the appointment itself, reminders, etc. - is top-notch and I can't really think of anything that they can improve upon. All of the staff are extremely friendly and it's always a pleasure talking to any of them. I've generally been apprehensive about visiting the dentist in the past, but I don't feel any of that here. Lastly, to make things more relevant for COVID-19 times, they're taking precautions very seriously and I feel that everyone's safety is their top priority. And again, I still don't feel any worries because of how well they're handling this. I honestly don't see myself ever wanting/needing to go to another dentist. And you probably won't either if you decide to give them a try. read more

I would like relay my sincerest gratitude for being taken care of so exceptionally well by EVERYONE at Dentistry for Life, all the way until the end, when I was walked out of the building. This experience has been honestly the best that I can recollect for anything and everything in ALL INDUSTRIES ACROSS THE BOARD. I felt safe and genuinely cared for. I had the chance to look at my teeth in a more coherent state this morning and I am still shocked with how amazing they look! It will take me some time getting used to smiling again, which was something I worked so hard not to do and I have Dr. Parikh & the BEAUTIFUL Dr. Kimmie, the anaesthesiologist, who made me feel safe going under & who went out of his way to give me some sound advice, Meghan who was instrumental in getting me into surgery so swiftly, along with THE ENTIRE STAFF, whose kindness, personalities & unique touches to my care, are truly indispensable! I also wanted to share that I had the opportunity to witness Dr. Parikh make such a lovely compliment to the sweet woman who initially placed my temporaries in. It was so touching to hear how kind & proud he was to her!! It made me feel so happy for her because she was very proficient. Finally, Dr. Parikh's outstanding surgical work & skill, demeanor & overall excitement for me and how great my teeth looked, resonated with me even this morning! I can't thank all of you enough. I truly can't, this is something that I will always be in your debt for! read more

I was a patient back when Dr. Dubin was the dentist at this practice. After he retired I made an appointment for a cleaning and a consult. Dr. Patel told me that I needed to have a root canal redone. I was suspicious of this since Dr. Dubin had never mentioned anything about it. I went for a second opinion and sure enough, I did not need to have a root canal redone. read more

I recently booked an appointment for a cleaning with the hygienist there which I need every three or four months now and I was told I could see the hygienist if I signed a release so I got there for my appointment yesterday and I signed the release. At the time I told her that there was an area in my upper right back of my mouth which shouldn't be cleaned but at some point during the cleaning I thought she was getting incredibly close to that area so I motioned to stop and at that point something fell out in my hand which I had felt in my mouth right before then and I didn't know if it was part of the tooth or the bonding of that tooth. Then she said she'd have to take an x-ray and go get the dentist who was Dr Parikh. He wanted to do an extraction of the tooth right then and of course I refused and said that it should be put back the way it was which was bonded together and he said he could not do that until today. So I had to commute from Exton which is where I'm staying with my friend as we're traveling through the area. I would have to say at this point that I agree with a reviewer further on in the Yelp reviews saying that this man is a bit like a used car salesman. We exchanged niceties and we did agree on politics but that doesn't mean anything as far as how he treated me as a patient. In Dentistry IQ which I recently read it says a red flag of a dentist is a dentist who consistently puts down the dentists that a patient has gone to prior to him or her and that is what he did in this case and it's disrespectful of me and he sets himself up for a lawsuit. My lawyer actually told me that I shouldn't have to pay any more than what I was supposed to pay originally which was the $100 for the cleaning and nothing else but I feel like I perhaps should pay for the X-ray but nothing else past that. Apparently there is another dental office in the same building and I ran into a woman in the elevator who said she'd been going there for 12 years. Philadelphia Dentistry has pretty good reviews. Perhaps consider going there instead. But if you do need cosmetic work make sure you follow the advice of Dentistry IQ which is to look at the before and after pictures of any cosmetic dentist that you consider or ultimately go to for your own safety. Dr. Pateh actually had the audacity to ask me if the prior dentists I was going to were legitimate and if they had their credentials on the walls of their lobby. I said I noticed his credentials were not in the lobby. He said they were behind the reception area. He disrespected and discounted the work I had done in Mexico as well as all the other work I've had done which is more than one red flag. the hygienist yesterday use the term after she made her mistake that I was under supervised negligence. She was negligent in following my request and when I saw her today she looked away. read more

There is no better dental office east of the Mississippi thank Detistry For Life. The focus, personalization, dedication, and commitment shown by Dr. Patel & Dr. Parikh is unmatched.

BEWARE: Questionable Billing Practices. No problem with the actual dental services, but was taken by surprise when I was TEXTED about an outstanding balance that I had no idea about 3 months later. A outstanding balance that was 4x the price I had already paid for services. read more

Love this office! I was deathly afraid of the dentist... It had been almost 15 years since I had been for a cleaning (horrible). I went to the office bc a friend of mine recommended them. Everyone from the front desk, to dental hygienist, to the doctors everyone made me feel incredibly comfortable. They were very informative, thorough and gentle which was a big concern of mine. My teeth are in a great place and going to the dentist is no longer a fear of mine. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

I wish all of my life's dental work could have been done here. They have the state of the art equipment to do everything amazing. I had two root canals, two build up and two molars. I have to say I was worried. I had a lot of bad experiences with dentists in the past and felt like I was rolling the dice but the second I got into the office , the office manager Lianna, made me feel like this was do-able and they were going to help me figure it out. Once funding was in order a had an appointment for ALL THAT work. It didn't take nearly as long as other places because they have excellent skills, great staff and the most efficient work ethic. The even have great music! My two back molars are now my favorite teeth in my mouth and I can't wait to keep going. I did have a small problem unrelated to Dentistry for Life, dealing with the Care Credit, but Lianna, generously and on her own time (!) asked me to come into the office and she got on the horn and went to bat for me to get the 0% financing they promised in the contract. She is a FIGHTER and it felt amazing for something to take on my personal snafu as a legit problem. I cannot wait to do more work here. Proud they are in Philly!!! read more
