I have now had one filling and three cleanings in my year and a half as a client and am grateful to have found Blanc for a number of reasons: 1) Flexibility with scheduling and the team here was even understanding when I arrived (I NEVER do this) 15 minutes late to a cleaning. 2) No nonsense "service" with just facts. No additional "selling" of things that has made me feel really scheezy at other dentist offices. 3) Tight knit and kind team that always makes me feel at ease. 4) FAST appointments. Even my filling took less than an hour. Overall the best experience I've ever had at a dentist and this team will have me as a patient for as long as I live in Philadelphia. Thanks so much, team!

Unless you have specific issues that need to be addressed, a typical check-up will last you no more than 25 minutes. As someone who has done a fair amount of dentist hopping due to previous dentists always trying to sell me products, the efficient service of Dr. Rice has been a welcome change. One note about the Yelp check-in offer: you will ALWAYS receive a goodie bag with toothpaste, a toothbrush, and floss after every cleaning, regardless of whether or not you check-in. The receptionist was actually very confused when I showed her the offer on my phone as she had apparently never seen it before. Just know that if you'll always get a goodie bag no matter what you do.

This is a long read, but very important info for ANYONE who is considering North East Dental as a…read moreviable place to go for dental work. I am still dealing with an utter mess after visiting Dr. Kinga's Allegheny office. I was very wary of the treatment plan Dr. Kinga outlined on my first visit. After x-rays and a technique she used to measure my gums, she said I would need a thorough (and definitely painful) gum scaling. That was my first appointment, and I was encouraged to make 2 more follow up appointments on the spot. On my next appointment, without even cleaning my teeth, she filled a cavity, and attempted to fix a small chip in my front tooth. If I had more life experience or know-how about basic dentistry, I would have known how unprofessional and below the board the place really is--but as it was, I trusted Dr. Kinga's expertise as best I could, even though I knew not doing a cleaning first seemed fishy. I then got a bill for the work done so far, over $600 for: -Xrays -1 fixed chip tooth -1 filling -The so-called gum measurement A WEEK LATER, the chip repair on my front tooth snapped directly off the tooth, taking more enamel with it. It was very painful, and caused me a great deal of anxiety and discomfort. I went directly back into the office to show Dr. Kinga my tooth. She said she could fix it for me, but by that time, I wanted nothing to do with them. Even without insurance, I am certain they were trying to bill me to their advantage only; jacking up prices is a dirty and dishonest thing to do. To make matters worse for them, I am now a patient at an extremely reputable Dental practice, where upon first seeing my teeth, they told me my gums were perfectly fine, and they suspected that suggesting scaling was an attempt by Dr. Kinga at over-treatment for the purpose of collecting more money. My new dentist also confirmed that it was extremely negligent and ridiculous that Dr. Kinga did not clean my teeth before performing her dental work. They were able to see dental adhesive/cement on my chipped tooth, and confirmed that the enamel had been extremely damaged by Dr. Kinga's botched work. I paid my new dentist to restore the tooth completely, which of course cost even more money. I have a bill for the remainder of the services that were performed at North East Dental that has been sent to collections, and I am working with them and a lawyer to resolve this issue. All I would like is the bill dropped, as on principle alone I refuse to pay someone who caused MORE damage to my teeth, but North East Dental has been extremely unprofessional whilst I try to resolve this issue with them. Dr. Kinga would not speak with me on the phone, instead instructing the receptionist, who was extremely rude, to tell me there is nothing they can do until Dr. Kinga "talks to her husband." I am able to continue with my lawyer even without their cooperation, but seeing as I made it clear that all I want is the bill dropped because of actual, recorded, painful damage to my teeth, you would think they would want to cooperate or even display a bare minimum amount of professionalism. They continue to deny any responsibility, parroting the phrase that they "did this work in good faith" and demand to be paid. Utterly ridiculous. I may be young, but I know I have rights as a patient, and I refuse to pay them a cent. I would recommend that you STAY AWAY from North East Dental. What a nightmare!

I am severely afraid of the dentist and the anxiety of going has kept me away for over 5 years; so naturally, you can understand how I got to the point where I would need a scaling and root planing. I called around trying to find who could be able to put me to sleep because I was afraid that I may leave mid appointment if it got too bad. I ended up here because this was listed as being covered by my insurance. A couple xrays later, it was discovered that my gums were in bad shape. This made me nervous and of course, I asked to be put to sleep. I was told that I wouldn't need to be put to sleep and that the numbness from the anesthesia would work. I was apprehensive as I've been told this by previous dentist before, only to be in pain and then to be told, "ok just a little bit longer" which I just don't respect. However, when I first met Azadeh, I told her my fears and she absolutely listened!!!! For a complete scaling and root planing, I needed two appointments. Both times, mid appointment, she stopped to ask how I was feeling and if I needed more anesthesia. The first appointment went so well, that the second time ( I went today), I told her that I didn't need that much. She was so kind but also very thorough. I could hear that she was really getting in there, BUT I barely felt any discomfort! After both appointments she recommended me a specific tooth paste because I have VERY sensitive gums. I've been using that toothpaste ever since the first appointment and can definitely see the results. I can't wait until my check up in a month. The first half of my mouth is already doing much better and no doubt, the second will be the same. Highly recommend :). . The best dental hygienist I've had thus far

Shout out to her right hand Donna and all the women at the front desk who were equally calm, compassionate, clear, reassuring, and kind. (Especially to a first timer who couldn't stop crying in the waiting room before her procedure!) Gum grafts are very technical and you want the best of the best. That's Dr. Seyedain. Not only did she go to great lengths to increase the predictability of my graft before surgery, but she also talked me off the ledge the day-of with the kind of bedside manner that's rare in a busy practice. Dr. Seyedain isn't just patient, empathetic, and an expert at her craft--she is also astoundingly generous with her cell phone number and incredibly responsive during the recovery period. She and her team make an objectively miserable thing much, much less miserable--and 100% worth a rough few weeks. I couldn't recommend Locust Street Periodontics more. Your visits will start on time, your out-of-pocket responsibility will be easy to understand (in advance!), and every touchpoint with the team will be friendly and informative. Even if you're dreading the work you need to have done (and tempted to delay a little longer!), this is the office to call when you're ready.

They always took the time to explain what was happening, what to expect next, and why, which made a huge difference and built so much trust throughout the process. I genuinely never dreaded an appointment (which says a lot when braces are involved). Every visit felt welcoming, calm, and well-run, and I always left feeling well taken care of by Lynn and Veronica, and confident in the plan. Now that my braces are off, I'm actually happy knowing I'll still be coming back for retainer checks, that's how great this team is.
