Top Dentists: Class of ’22
The area’s leading practitioners of dental medicine share a common goal: to nurture the health, function, and aesthetics of each patient’s smile.
by Bill Donahue

The past few years have proven that bad news, much like a contagion, travels all too quickly. In times of uncertainty, we often forget about a more positive influence that is just as infectious: the smile.

The smile represents a peculiar breed of magic; it can alter our own mood, as well as the mood of the people around us. It also has the potential to open doors, spark conversations, and forge friendships.
 
Of course some people choose to hide their smile. Perhaps they have misaligned or discolored teeth, or otherwise lack a smile they might consider aesthetically pleasing. Others may suffer from pain or discomfort, or some other issue that prevents proper function.
 
No matter the issue, Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs have a surplus of exceptional dentists. Whether someone requires a routine cleaning, dental implants, treatment for periodontal disease, or other specialized care, these professionals aim to nurture the health, function, and aesthetics of each patient’s smile.
 
We asked our readers to tell us about the dentists they consider the area’s best and brightest. You will find their selections included on the following pages, along with the names of dental professionals we have featured in stories from the past year about dentists their patients trust.
 
Some of the professional listed on the following pages advertise in Suburban Life, though their inclusion was not based on their willingness to advertise. We also acknowledge that the Philadelphia area has many excellent dentists, not all of whom are featured here.  
 
We present our 2022 Top Dentists, an encore presentation updated from January.
 
General and Cosmetic Dentistry
The evaluation, diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment (nonsurgical, surgical or related procedures) of diseases, disorders, and/or conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area, and/or the adjacent and associated structures and their impact on the human body
