At Dentistry at 1818, our dentists are dedicated to remaining at the forefront of their profession, using only the most advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment and regularly updating their knowledge and training through continuing education courses. To increase the effectiveness of our procedures and promote our patients comfort and safety, we feature noiseless electric handpieces, intra-oral cameras, and the lowest radiation X-ray machines as part of our practice.
such as scaling and root planing (the cleaning of infected root surfaces), root surface debridement (the removal of damaged tissue), and regenerative procedures (the reversal of lost bone and tissue). When necessary, periodontists can also perform surgical procedures for patients with severe gum disease. Additionally, periodontists are trained in the placement, maintenance and repair of dental implants.
Periodontitis is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, and can result in systemic oral health issues, such as gum recession and jawbone deterioration, which increase an individuals risk of losing additional teeth. In addition to negatively impacting your oral health, periodontal disease is also linked to other health issues, such as diabetes and cardiovascular issues. Patients who have a family history of diabetes and heart disease are at an increased risk of developing either if periodontitis is not treated.
Your dentist will examine your gums for any gum line recession, assess how your teeth come into contact with each other when biting, and check to see if any of your teeth are loose. They will also look at the health of your gums by placing a small measuring instrument (called a probe) in the spaces between your teeth and gums (called periodontal pockets) to measure the depth of those spaces. X-rays may also be taken to observe the health of the bone below your gum line.

Waited 8 months for an appointment, waited 10-15 minutes at the building front desk to get to the office, was told once I got to the office I was late and they needed to reschedule. I was late by 8 minutes due to building they were located in. Was treated very rudely because I was "late". Told them what happened at front desk so they were aware and still treated poorly by front desk. I understand you have to keep a schedule, but no reason to treat people so rudely, particularly when your building caused the delay. Not going back! I was not offered availability the following day. I was offered a cleaning in May. And I was offered a cleaning the same day via a call back after my wife called in and spoke to someone about transferring our records to another dentist.

Called to make appointment as ne patient the person who took the call took all my personal information and never called me back. Called the office back she was very rude asked for manger he hangs up the phone on me. I called back to make sure my information deleted the lady who took the call told me not to call and hangs up on me.

I have been going Dentistry at 1818 for over a decade and find Dr Siegal to be super compassionate and great. As someone who doesn't need much more than cleanings, I think most of the team is professional, nice and quick. Shout out to the hygienist, Bisa for her humor and excellent cleaning. She made it a pleasure. I highly recommend going here.

I have been coming to this dentistry for over 6 years and even when I moved an hour away I still drown an hour in rush hour traffic for this place!

I had the best dental experience ever. All the staff were polite, friendly and professional. They explained every detail of my exam and cleaning, step by step. After my cleaning I literally said "that was the best cleaning experience I've ever had". I've been to the dentist plenty of times but I've never had a doctor explain to me how to properly take care of my crown and what to look out for. They made it so comfortable for me to ask questions without judgement. If you're looking for smooth, professional dental services this is your place.

Dr. Siegel talked to me as if I couldn't afford the treatment instead of approaching the situation from an angle of collaboration. I would give more feedback as a professional in customer service, however he'd need to pay me for that service. His employees clearly can't stand him. Best of luck to all involved.

I am very pleased with the care I receive at Dentistry at 1818 Market St. To say that my hygienist, Barbara, is superb would be a deep understatement. She is quite thorough; explains exactly and precisely what she's doing all throughout the cleaning process, and; she gives you a very detailed explanation of what she has observed about everything concerning your teeth, gums, bone structures of your jaw---even your tongue health! But what is so impressive, in addition to her clear dedication to performing an excellent job, is her sheer enthusiasm for her profession and for the biomedical research done in the dental field. She respects her clients such that, if she detects that you are the kind of person who wants access to this type of in-depth information, she will point you in that direction directly. She firmly believes that a great deal of her job is educating her client as much as possible. Last (if she has them in stock), you get goodies! After my first teeth cleaning with Barbara earlier this year, among other things I received a neat tongue scraper--an invaluable little tool so that now I don't have to use a spare toothbrush. My attending dentist, Dr. Jonathan Siegel, is deeply knowledgeable, approachable and friendly. One of his best methods is the in-depth conversation he has with you during the initial consult. Be prepared to not have your cleaning that first visit, but your x-rays and bite wings will be taken and a careful assessment made of the present condition of your teeth (really your entire mouth) will be made. He astutely offers alternative approaches to any given dental situation, and you would trust his advice precisely because he takes the time to hear your dental history from you, the client, as well as by looking at your records. I have only seen Dr. Siegel twice this year, but I felt keenly heard on both occasions, and I am very confident in his guidance and suggested courses of action. The best quality he has, in my opinion, is that he doesn't rush the client into making snap decisions about anything (even when it's clear he's extremely busy). I appreciate this quality greatly---we're presently taking a reasonable "watch and see" approach to a small issue I have that I don't feel compelled to respond to right at this moment. Just knowing that it's on both his and Barbara's radars, though, makes me feel much more confident in being able to take my time with the matter--I trust them and feel like I'm a true partner in my own care. Last, but never, ever least, the support staff is excellent--from the front desk receptionists and schedulers to the first receiving dental associates. The receptionists are swift and business-like, yes, but they never rude or off-putting. They all possess just the correct balance of very necessary efficiency (the office is extremely busy at all times) and warmth shown to the client. I'm really happy that I've found a dental group I'm thoroughly comfortable with after my former group stopped taking my dental insurance. I'll be staying Dentistry at 1818 Market a very long time. If you are comfortable with the pace of a very busy, Center City located dental office, and don't mind a smaller office space, I HIGHLY recommend this practice.

Not informed beforehand that they will not do a dental cleaning on your first visit, wasted trip and wasted yearly X-ray coverage. Was not informed until afterwards that their next dental cleaning was not available until the following year Despite the statement in the response below: I was not informed that the dental cleaning would not happen on my initial visit despite specifically requesting a dental cleaning

Initially over the phone it was a rough go. The young gentleman was very assertive when I didn't have my correct insurance information as if I was trying to get a free cleaning. Lol. I booked anyway and was given additional info by a young lady who told me how to fill out initial forms online. My appointment went well. The staff was courteous and the Doc was very professional. The only thing I was baffled at was why I couldn't get my teeth cleaning done the same time as the imaging? They even asked me if I could come back at 11 which was a little more than 2 hours after my initial appointment. That just seemed bizarre to me. Overall, the experience was good. Going back for my cleaning next April.
