Looking for a pediatric dentist in Philadelphia?

Children’s Dental Surgery is a surgery center, not a general dental office. Children must first be evaluated by a Children’s Dental Surgery-affiliated dentist before a procedure is scheduled here. If your child needs a dentist, start with one of our affiliated practices: Pediatric Dental Associates and Children’s Dental Health. If your child has already been referred, a treatment coordinator will schedule the procedure date.

Getting to our Philadelphia center

We are on the third floor of the Commonwealth Medical Building, off East Allegheny Avenue and Tulip Street. SEPTA bus routes 60 and 25 stop nearby, including Allegheny Avenue and Aramingo Avenue. The Market-Frankford Line’s Allegheny Station is a 13-minute walk. Parking is free and available in our parking lot on Tulip Street.

What to expect at our Philadelphia center

Our operating rooms are equipped for the safe treatment of children under general anesthesia. The lobby, pre-op, and recovery areas are bright and welcoming. Children have toys and entertainment while they wait, and parents have television and reading material.

I came her today with my three year old son. Every one from the front desk to the staff in the back made me and my son comfortable. I was not nervous because I knew he would be in good hands. Of course you always have that one person that comes in and complains, but with how professional that office is I don’t see how they get complaints or negative reviews. Would highly recommend.

My daughter had dental surgery here and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we walked in, everyone was kind, polite, and extremely attentive. They made both my daughter and l feel comfortable every step of the way. When I first found out we had to come here, I was very nervous, but the entire staff was so reassuring and caring. They took the time to make my daughter feel safe and at ease, which meant everything to me as a parent. I’m very thankful for such a compassionate and professional team

Can’t recommend this place enough!! The staff at the front desk, the nurses, to the doctor performing the surgery and the anesthesiologist .. everyone was incredible. They were thorough with communication, made me and my child feel SO comfortable, and had great bedside manner. Very appreciative of this group!
