Centrally located, Lifetime Dental practices are committed to the communities we serve. We understand the importance of choosing a dentist close to home, knowing care is always just minutes away. Meet our dentists.
At Lifetime Dental, the talented and experienced members of our dental care team have attended a number of prestigious dental schools, including New York University College of Dentistry, University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Boston Universitys Goldman School of Dental Medicine, Howard University College of Dentistry, Temple Universitys Kornberg School of Dentistry, and more.
Not only is it important to us that our dentists have extensive knowledge in their field, it is also critical that each of our dentists has a passion for what they do and a compassionate attitude towards patient care, which gives patients a sense of comfort and ease.
Every patient is unique. Even two patients with remarkably similar conditions may require remarkably different treatment plans. My job is to explain all the pros and cons, and help the patient decide upon the best treatment plan.
I take great pride in providing personalized, compassionate dental care for multiple generations of families. My goal is to relieve the anxiety traditionally associated with visiting the dentist and give each patient a smile they truly love.
My goal is to not only resolve the dental problems of my patients but also empower them to understand and gain control over their oral health so that we can create a beautiful and lasting smile together.
I look forward to providing you with the best dental care modern technology has to offer. You will be pleased to discover the unique customer service we have been known for during the last twenty-plus years.
Everyone deserves to have the best smile possible. Our team is trained to develop a treatment plan that fits your needs and finances, and we will deliver a high-quality result that you will be proud to show off.
At Lifetime Dental, we deliver the best results for our patients by utilizing dental tools that help us conduct painless procedures. We also help to improve your oral health through the use of dental equipment that assists us in providing our patients with early detection of disease.
Effective in diagnosing very early dental problems, panoramic X-Rays are just one of the innovative dental technologies found within our office. Panoramic X-Rays are more comfortable than traditional X-Rays and provide a comprehensive view of the entire mouth during dental health screenings.
Dental problems can often arise in small, hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Digital X-Rays provide high-quality, detailed images of these areas, allowing dentists to treat and even prevent dental problems before they occur.
Our success relies on the willingness of each of us to act ethically and keep your privacy safe in our dealings with our protected health information. When someone does not live up to our high ethical standards, we need to know.

I went there to get top dentures. Because I wanted to smile. I had the worst experience there. After telling them that I was allergic to penicillin and almost every antibiotic ending in (in) I was given antibiotics that I was allergic to. Was told to return to work 3 days after getting my top teeth all pulled at one time. Not only that I had my dentures put in the same day. Well needless to say within 2 weeks they were so loose. So they put a liner in them. Still loose. With money I spent out of pocket I think they should make them right. Everyday is a struggle for me trying to fit ill fitting dentures in and feeling like I have a mouth full of s***.

My husband had a cavity filled and now has more pain than before he went in there. He was told it was the dental assistants first day and the dentist just walked away while she was filling it so that made him very uncomfortable. He needed to come in for more work and had to reschedule due to being sick. As soon as he told that to the woman at the front desk (over the phone), her attitude completely changed to being nice and helpful to rude. He then decided to call and cancel his 2nd appointment completely and once again, the lady was VERY rude and complained about having a gap in the schedule now. That is not his problem, one, and two, it is VERY unprofessional to have an attitude with a customer for scheduling or comfortability reasons. After the conversations with the lady at the front desk and her poor customer service, he was completely turned off from this place and will be finding a new dentist. (William E.

I have been a patient of Dr. Dudas for over 10 years and wouldn't think of going elsewhere. He is careful, kind, and takes his time. I used to dread going to the dentist, not the case anymore. Dr. Dudas has treated my girls (twin 11 year olds) since they were 2 and they don't give me hard time going to the dentist - they actually look forward to it!!! The office staff is friendly, effecient, and always willing to help. Katrina is amazing, willing to go the extra mile to find the right appointment and ensure that insurance is processed properly.

I recently got some extensive work done by Dr. Dudas (two temp crowns) and felt very comfortable, and happy with the service. I loved the assistant, Cindy, who had amazing care and concern for me while I was getting my old fillings ground away and teeth repaired. Relatively no pain, and was expecting my mouth to be angry after the novocaine wore off but was pleased that my gums and teeth feel fine. Can't wait to have my permanent crowns set. I need these teeth to last a lifetime and happy to have found someone to do it at reasonable prices.

I have been a patient of Dr Dudas for over a decade and wouldn't trust anyone else with my dental care. He is extremely careful and considerate of my comfort. In 2019 I had a problem with a molar and needed an implant (Dr Eckhart) as well as some other work (root canals,crowns etc) to say his work was pain free is an understatement.Dr Dudas is clearly at the top of his profession. His staff and assistants are also as caring and attentive as he is. In a nutshell I am happy to go to the dentist!

Just had a tooth filled today. Their technical prowess is delivered with such finesse. Even when bearing down to prep the tooth for the adhesive and filling, the tech (I believe her name is Claudia?) was still gentle. And who can give novacaine like Dr. Dudas? None better. I applaud their artistry...the results are like a real tooth and works just as well.

The last fillings I got from them were painful and the technician dropped her tools on the floor repeatedly, I was bleeding when I left. Now that I found a new dentist, the Xrays showed that the tooth was filled in with shoddy work, cavities leaking, and it's as if 3 fillings are in 1 tooth, I need to have this tooth sawed down to a nub and replaced with a crown because of their work. I'm pretty sure they made me sign a waiver for the work, I wish I'd never gone here.

I was a patient here for 2 years. Always very efficient and well-run office and was very happy with the admin and dental services. Unfortunately they closed their Millersville office so I had to change dentists. Transfer of records to my new dentist went smoothly.

BEWARE OF INSURANCE FRAUD!!! FIRST THEY CHARGED ME $780 FOR A CROWN, WHICH IS NOT THE CONTACTED AGREEMENT THEY HAD WITH MY INSURANCE. WHEN I GOT HOME, I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND ASKED WHY I JUST PAID$780.00 FOR MY CROWN, THEY SAID, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE, ASKED ME TO HOLD WHILE THEY CALLED THE DENTIST OFFICE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY GOT BACK ON, SAID THE BILLING DEPARTMENT WOULDN'T TALK TO THE CUSTOMER. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD THEM THEY OVER CHARGED ME . I WAITED OVER A MONTH TO BE REIMBURSED. THEN, I FILE MY CLAIM WITH AFLAC, THEY ACCIDENTALLY SENT MY CHECK TO LIFETIME DENTAL, AND THEY CASHED THE CHECK!!!! I AM NOW FILING AN INSURANCE FRAUD AGAINST THIS DENTAL OFFICE FOR CASHING MY CHECK!!! I HAVE PICTURES OF THE FILTHY TOOLS THEY HAD ON THE TRAY, WITH DRIED CRUD ON THEM!!!

You sent no check to me, and you never tried to call, you have my number and my husband's number, we both have been calling you at LEAST 3 times a week, left messages WITH our phone numbers and what the call was in reference to (you cashing a check and taking money that didn't belong to you!) So play dumb, and continue to lie and say "the check is in the mail, because I have the insurance commission on this!

Jessica has been going above and beyond to get my daughters records. That sounds like it should be a simple thing, but it has been a nightmare with the last dentist. Few people would have put in the time and effort she has! She is a big reason I love this office!
