Top Dentists 2024
Need a trusted dentist who has the education, expertise, and chairside manner to keep your smile at its aesthetic and functional apex? Look no further.
by Staff

We meet a lot of people in our lives. We know some of them for “a reason or a season.” Others turn out to be indispensable: a spouse, a close friend, a neighbor, a financial advisor. Add a trusted dentist to the short list.

The Philadelphia area has no shortage of skilled dentists who have the education, expertise, and chairside manner to keep each patient’s smile at its aesthetic and functional apex. Need help whittling down your list of options? Our readers cast their votes for the dental professionals they rely on for all aspects of dentistry: general and cosmetic dentistry, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, pediatric dentistry, etc.

Their selections are outlined on the following pages, along with some “votes” of our own, based on stories we have done over the past year about dentists their patients trust. While we salute these professionals, we also acknowledge that the Philadelphia area has many top-notch dentists, not all of whom are featured here.

Allow us to introduce our Top Dentists, Class of 2024, updated from earlier this year.

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.
