PATIENT REVIEWS

I started going to Dr. Eidelson 10 years ago with a dental emergency. He was able to see me right away. Great teeth don’t run in my family. Ever since my first visit Dr. Eidelson has gone above and beyond to transform my difficult teeth into something I can be confident in. With his great team of extremely competent dental assistants, hygienists, and dental surgeons he has been able to solve every issue that has arisen. This includes fillings, crowns, and implants all without changing offices. He has been so great that I got my husband to receive his gingivitis treatment in his office. I am confident that Dr. Eidelson always has my best interests in mind and he has been flexible in the past when money was tight. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

From top to bottom, Dr. Eidelson and his team are the best. I have been a pain to work with due to my work schedule. No matter how many times I reschedule or cancel, Dr. Eidelson never takes it personally and understands that life gets hectic. He will call you personally and discuss things with you, I have never had that before. He’s flexible, understanding, and does excellent work. I’m a tough critic, so trust me he’s the best.

Simply the Best Dr. Eidelson is an excellent dentist. Not only is he skilled in the most up to date techniques, he’s also understanding and caring. The staff is kind and friendly. At his office, you aren’t treated like just another number. They offer individualized, personalized treatment in an upscale office setting. Honestly, I can’t say enough kind words about Dr. Eidelson and his staff. I can recall quite a few times when he stayed late just to accommodate my busy schedule. Recently, I had an emergency when he was in Germany on vacation. Dr. Eidelson arranged for me to be seen on the same day. It was amazing to say the least. I am truly thankful to the entire staff. There is only one way to sum it up. Dr. Eidelson is simply the best.

I am recently a new patient of Dr. Eidelsons. I thought it would a whole ordeal to switch from my prior dentist but it was just the opposite. I was warmly welcomed by Meg at the front desk and the wait time was quite short compared to other doctors office waits. Dr. Eidelson made me feels that I was in good hands and was thorough in consulting with me prior to the procedure. He is also pretty funny too! I had my teeth cleaned and whitened this week and I will be permanently transferring over to Main Street Dental from my prior dentist. The process was seamless and I plan to return back to Dr E for my root canal in the soon future. I would surely recommend him to a friend or family member!

Best dental experience I’ve ever had! The office was clean and spacious, and Dr. Eidelson was absolutely wonderful. He is very experienced and professional, and he also has a great personality. He will never push you into getting a procedure like other dentists do. I was presented with all of my options and together we determined what the best plan of action was for me. There was little to no discomfort during my procedure and I couldn’t be happier with my result! Dr. Eidelson puts your needs first (including your financial needs) and makes the entire process feel relaxed and stress-free. I have been to several dental offices and this was by far the very best. Give them a try if you can! Plenty of parking too!

I moved to Philly from South Florida a few years back and have been seeing Dr. Eidelson ever since. In Florida I had only bad dental experiences so ultimately I had neglected seeing a dentist for years until I came to see Dr. Eidelson for the first time. My 2 lower front teeth were very loose and one of them was cracked at the root. Over the course of a few months Dr. Eidelson worked on me to be able to put in an implant so that those teeth could be removed and replaced. The end result was nothing short of remarkable. I have such an amazing smile now, not to mention I no longer have loose teeth, lol. Ever since my implants, I have consistently seen Dr. Eidelson and his staff every 3 months for regular cleanings to prevent any further bone loss and to prevent any further spreading of gum disease. I am thankful every day for Dr. Eidelson’s work and would highly recommend anyone in need of a good dentist to go see him. You will not regret it, that I promise you.

Honestly, I choose this place based on its proximity to my house, but it’s awesome. A nice, very clean office with a super friendly, proficient staff. I had some crown work done by Dr Eidelson and his work was meticulous! He and his staff are compassionate and very helpful.  I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a dentist!

I have been a patient of Dr Eidelson’s for the past 4 years. Recently, I had a crown placed. There were multiple complications afterwards. Dr Eidelson never gave up and continued to work with me in order to save the tooth and get the crown placed permanently. I can’t thank him and his office staff enough, always accommodating to my schedule and genuinely concerned about me.

I just had a recent visit at Dr. Eidelson’s to get a whitening and a cleaning done. It was a great experience and I didn’t have to wait at all. Although Dr. Eidelson isn’t in close proximity to my house, I continue to come to his office and make the commute in order to get good dental care. I feel comfortable with not only Dr. Eidelson, but his staff included. They are welcoming, and Meg is always helpful and flexible during the few times that I have needed to reschedule. I give Main Street Dental five stars because of the positive experience i continue to have. I would recommend them to any friend or family!

Dr. Eidelson goes above and beyond for his patients!  I am a new patient and the care, honest advise he offered me in a touchy situation with my past dentist was beyond the scope expected of any doctor in today’s world!  He is personable, fair, knowledgeable  and makes seeing a dentist a really pleasant experience!  Thank you to Dr. Eidelson and his fabulous staff!

I have never met a dentist who genuinely cared more about their patients and their smiles than Dr. Eidelson. Dr. Eidelson and his team are professional specialists who take pride in creating great smiles and building trust with patients. PERK: Dr. Eidelson also accepts Care Credit, which I desperately relied on for my visit since I do not have insurance. A year ago, I suffered an unfortunate incident which resulted in a broken front tooth. Panicked, I googled emergency dentists that night and was immediately directed to Dr. Eidelson. I contacted his emergency dental number (how convenient is that!) and was told to come in 7:30 AM the very next morning – Okay, firstly, Dr. Eidelson was incredibly understanding of my sheer panic and spoke to me in a very calming manner. Secondly, I was a college student at the time and had classes later that morning; Dr. Eidelson worked around my schedule and set an appointment to see me more than hour before his practice was even open for the day. I showed up to my appointment and, having a fear of dentists, was a nervous wreck. Dr. Eidelson was very understanding and reassuring, taking the time to thoroughly explain the process of repairing my tooth. He also spoke about his professional and academic history which was also very reassuring. Dr. Eidelson works closely with a lab located in Cherry Hill that creates incredible veneers and dental implants. A mold was taken of my mouth to be sent to the lab. I was then fitted with a temporary tooth that was created out of resin. Honestly, it was sturdy and did not look out of place at all. My best friends and roommates could not tell the difference. A week later, I was contacted and told by Dr. Eidelson that he wanted me to go to the lab in Cherry Hill to ensure that the color and size of the veneer matched – I am not lying when I say that Dr. Eidelson genuinely takes pride in his work. Dr. Eidelson even had an assistant pick me up from my apartment on campus to take me to and back from the lab. The trip to the lab took less than an hour. At the lab, the veneer was compared to my mouth to ensure that the tooth was the correct size and length (I have really small teeth) and that the color matched. Looking at it, I was so impressed. We left the lab and I came in later that week to have it cemented in. Note: The lab personally drives the veneers/implants to Dr. Eidelson’s practice whenever they are finished to ensure safe and immediate delivery – aka superior service. The veneer was fitted and tweaked until Dr. Eidelson and I were satisfied with how it looked. Once implanted, I noticed that my smile was actually straighter – nice! Although veneers are generally durable and long-lasting, I was still given Dr. Eidelson’s promise that if anything were to happen to the veneer, he would correct it without charge. In February of this year, I bit into a way-too-hard sandwich and broke my veneer. I immediately called Dr. Eidelson’s office and was given an emergency appointment later that day. Another mold was made and sent to the lab and I was given a resin temp and sent on my way. A few weeks later, Dr. Eidelson personally contacted me and told me he wanted me to come in to test the new veneer. When the veneer was fitted and compared, we both looked at it and immediately smiled in agreement – the veneer was the exact shape, size, and color that we had in mind and blended in perfectly. As promised, the veneer was recreated and implanted free of charge. You really will not find a better dentist. Dr. Eidelson constantly stressed how important it was that I was happy with his work. He is especially kind and always greets you with a bright smile. Dr. Eidelson knows how nervous I get during the appointments and never rushes me in and out of the chair. He and his team are professional, patient, skilled, and timely life saviors. THANK YOU DR. EIDELSON !!! And of course, I would certainly recommend.

The professionalism of Dr. Eidelson and his staff is outstanding. I went in for a cleaning and a new crown for my implant. During these times of COVID I can tell you that all the precautions were taken by everyone on staff. From temperature taking down to wearing masks and shields, gloves, and so on. They put me at ease very quickly. I couldn’t ask for a better experience! Everyone on staff is absolutely amazing. I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for me and anyone else who walks through their doors. Thank you ALL for providing an experience that is second to none!!!!

I have been going here for a few years now and am so happy my friend Mike referred me. These guys are the best! Dr. Eidelson is so warm and friendly. He is very smart and conscientious. I also see Adam the periodontist. I had to have a tissue graft and it turned out perfect. I can’t say enough about the staff. They are all very friendly and super cool. I highly recommend this place.

I literally tossed and turned all night knowing at 7:30am my bad front  tooth would be gone. Also… anxious and scared not knowing what the outcome would be. Dr. Eidelson and Adam the periodontist are amazingly talented.  The team at this office make you feel at home. I had one major implant done today MY FRONT TOOTH!!! Although the process takes months to complete today I have a new smile. I have been in and out both offices since 2/13 getting ready for today which included deep cleaning and x-rays and a plan to follow. The experience at each visit was the best. The prices were not extreme l did my homework. Thank you to the whole team!!!!!

One of the best dental operations in the city of Philadelphia. Went to see him first time for multiple cavities that required root canal, I was scared to death having never had to deal with this in the past. Dr. Eidelson made sure I was seen right away and after a few hours, no more pain, and, to top that off, I even received a personal call from him the next day to see “how I was feeling,” wow! I have since gone back to him for whitening treatments, bi-annual cleanings, and general  check-ups. His staff is upbeat, courteous and most of all friendly, these guys seem to take personal care of their patients unlike some places where they could care less about you. Lastly, he seems to have the same folks working there which tells me something, and there always seems to be some new state of the art technology for dental procedures. I highly recommend this place.

I love my dental staff!  Coming here feels more like a dental spa as opposed to a “scary” place.  The environment is BEAUTIFUL, family oriented staff and the OUTCOME of your visit is AWESOME.   Heather, has the most gentle touch that yield PHENOMENAL teeth, Dr. Eidelson can easily make you laugh and has a heart of gold.  Stuart is KNOWLEDGEABLE, warm and his charm makes you feel welcome upon entrance.  Mind you, I’m a scared kitten when it comes to dentistry,  THAT’S WHY IM NEVER LEAVING MY DENTIST!   Main Street Dental is THE BEST…

Dr. Eidelson went out of his way to see me on a Sunday, on his day off, the day before leaving for a long-overdue-vacation. I had fallen off my bike and had broken a tooth, and was worried about possible nerve damage. He opened his office just to see me, gave me the most thorough, realistic rundown of what procedures would and might have to be carried out, and I walked out less than an hour later with a new temporary cap whose color could not have been matched more perfectly with the rest of the real one. (Dr. Eidelson has an uncanny ability for matching tooth shades at a glance.) He alleviated all my worries by presenting the facts, including cost rundown, by giving me the best most efficient and comfortable treatment, and by having his wonderful assistant by his side to further explain things from the perspective of a cosmetologist and non-dentist. They were both professional, kind, lacking ego, and imbued with a generous spirit.

Dr. Eidelson is simply the best and most caring doctor I have ever worked with!! As a wedding present, Dr. Eidelson gave my fiance and I FREE teeth whitening before our wedding. It is the small, thoughtful acts like that that Dr. Eidelson is always doing for his patients. He goes above and beyond the call of dentistry by making each patient feel like family.

I was looking for a new dentist and a friend recommended Dr. Eidelson. I couldn’t have been more happy with my experience at his office. After the most thorough dental exam I’ve ever received, I was told I had to get an extensive cleaning done but was moving out of the city within the week. Dr. Eidelson and his staff worked with my tight schedule to squeeze me in for several appointments so that I could get the care that I needed. Dr. Eidelson is honest, takes time to explain what is going on, and its clear he has your best interests at heart. Additionally, during this crazy time I felt very COVID safe in the office, as the staff is taking all the necessary precautions.

I love Dr. Eidelson and have recommended him many times to others! He has been my dentist for many years and I can’t say enough about the excellent care he has provided me. Although I’m a long time patient, he never takes me for granted. I recently chipped a tooth and they took me the next morning, and got me started on a new crown for that tooth. Then last Friday the temporary crown popped off (my fault, don’t tell him but I was chewing gum) and they saw me the next morning, despite a full waiting room, and cemented the temporary back in. I’ve had root canals, cerec, general hygiene and a custom mouth guard. He is always aware of the latest dental techniques. He always explains what has to be done and why. He also explains the cost and what I can expect my insurance to pay for. He is generous, has sent me thank yous for referring a patient or just to show his appreciation. His staff, many of whom have been with him a long time, are always great at their jobs and treat you with care. He is also really funny which I think is a great quality in your dentist. Check out Dr. Eidelson!

I have had wonderful experiences with Dr. Eidelson and his lovely staff. He is very thorough with diagnosing dental issues and clearly explains pathology, treatment options and how insurance may handle the case. His hygienist is also amazing and has provided me with exceptional care. I am very happy with their services and would highly recommend this office to my friends and family.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Eidelson’s for a long time now. There are a few points i would like to make about his office. Dr. Eidelson takes alot of time with me, which i really appreciate. He tends to talk a lot which may be the reason he gets backed up with his patients. Some reviewers may believe he doesn’t value your time but in my opinion, he does. Some of his other patients may feel like doctors should run as a train schedule ( on time) but lets remember trains do run late too sometimes. I wouldn’t recomment this office for those that insist on a “train like schedule.” This wouldn’t be the office for them. i had a recent visit to the orthopedic at jefferson and waited a reallly long time which i expected. i dont believe when it come to your health there need to be a time limit. In my case, i had alot of anxiety and questions. Seeing that Dr. Eidelson and his staff take the time to speak with patients says alot. He has taken the time to call me as a follow up after having a lot of work done in my appointment. If my tooth is hurting i know i dont have to wait until monday to see someone because i can reach him by telephone and he actually RETURNS my calls. I value Dr. Eidelson’s unique style and personallity. I feel comfotable which is hard to be in any dental office especially with the anticipation of getting numb and knowing a drill will be entering my mouth. I’m happy to say that i have full trust in my dental care with Dr. Eidelson!

I started going to Dr. Eidelson 10 years ago with a dental emergency. He was able to see me right away. Great teeth don’t run in my family.

I had some crown work done by Dr Eidelson and his work was meticulous! He and his staff are compassionate and very helpful. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a dentist!

I had been a patient of Dr. Eidelson’s for nearly 10 years then moved further away from the south street office and they ended Saturday appointments – so I attempted another dentist.  Absolute mistake.  Dr. Eidelson has a great, low key, personable team that have always taken care of my teeth and he never, not once, tried to sell me something I didn’t need.  In fact he once gave me a free whitening treatment for a long wait time.  I completely took all of that for granted.  When we moved further north, the other dentist I tried to sell a totally unnecessary procedure to my husband plus charged my 1 year old son $100 for basically nothing and incorrectly billed my insurance causing us to pay more than necessary.  None of these things ever remotely happened with Dr. Eidelson, quite the opposite.  They are honest, reasonable, and flexible. I’ll be bringing the rest of my family!

Dr. Eidelson’s is my favorite dentist I have ever had. Couldnt recommend him and his office more highly. Here are some reasons why: – After chewing through my grind guard over the course of a year, Dr Eidelson replaced it free of charge, even though he was charged by the manufacturer. This is an example of how- more generally- Dr Eidelson is very conscience of costs to his patients. – Dr. Eidelson makes great use of technology, even using a super hi-res camera to take pictures of your teeth – Staff is very nice and extremely flexible. Even open on Saturdays. – Quick service- in and out.

I just visited Dr. Eidelson for the first time to fix a chipped tooth. After falling and fracturing three of my front teeth, I was nervous to see a new dentist to fix such a critical injury. The entire staff was more than helpful and did a great job with calming my nerves. Dr. Eidelson and his assistant did an amazing job on my teeth! They look better than before my accident!

I’ve been going to Eidelson for over 7 years and has gotten a lot of treatment done over the years (perio, root canal, implants, aligners, etc.).  Everyone in the office are super friendly, whether they are temps or permanent staff.  I love the convenient Saturday hours and scheduling is never a problem.  The wait time is also reasonable.  Dr. Eidelson is very easy to work with and always puts on a smiling face.  I started on the aligners in 2010 and had to get refinements after the first full treatment.  My teeth shifted again after a few years, and he worked very hard to make sure I didn’t get charged for an additional refinement.  Thank you!!

I needed a new night-guard/retainer for sleep bruxism and to keep my teeth in line. The first one Dr. Eidelson had made wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, so he sent off my old one (from a previous dentist) to the lab and asked them to recreate it as closely as possible. The second one was exactly what I was looking for, and he let me keep both for the price of one. He really cares about making his patients happy and went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied with the product.

I came into this office with an open contact from sloppy dental work provided by another dentist. This office was extremely nice and accommodating. They accurately assessed the issue and fixed the open contact that was causing me pain for over a year. It was clear the entire time I was there that they were not merely concerned with conducting the procedure, but they took special care and attention to make sure the procedure was done properly. Because of Dr. Eidelson and everyone that works here, I can finally eat food comfortably on the left side of my mouth without worrying about pain surging into my gums. I highly recommend this dentist.

I had my first consultation with Dr. Eidelson this morning for some very complex dental work that I will have done in the coming weeks, and I cannot express how happy I am with the service that Dr. Eidelson and his staff provided. Dr. Eidelson was so thorough with explaining my options for the procedures that I will have done, and he actually took the time to get to know a little about me and my situation, so he could provide me with the best options. When visiting a new place such as a dentist office, I pay attention not only to how the staff treats me but also how they treat the other patients, and I can tell that Dr. Eidelson and his staff genuinely care about everyone who walks through their doors. The dental hygienist who assisted Dr. Eidelson during my appointment was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable the entire visit. I have a follow-up appointment scheduled for this Saturday (yes…they are open on Saturdays!), and I can say for the first time, I’m actually looking forward to going to the dentist. I highly recommend Dr. Eidelson and his staff.

I was freaking out Saturday morning after realizing my replacement teeth came lose, felt out and broke as they hit the floor. I knew I need and emergency dental office that opened on the weekend. It’s nerve racking till I found Dr. Richard Eidelson office located on south and 10th that opened and fairly close to my apt. I came in, feeling worried and uncomfortable bout my smile. However, the staffs were welcoming and Dr Eidelson was able to see me right away. I was informed about the cost and it came down to be quite a lot of money. I knew I could probably be able to find a cheaper place, but I didn’t wanna risk it and have to deal my tooth broken again. Knowing I’m a student, Doctor Eidelson was kind enough to give me some reduction. I got X-ray, consolation and temporary teeth prepare. It’s long hours, thought Everything went smoothly, and the whole time I was giving excellent service. Dr and his staffs stayed late after work to their work on me. my next visit was schedule within  3 days which was helpful. I came home and a couple of day later, I was surprised and appreciated it very much that the staffs called  and checked on me when I was home. I’m coming back for teeth cleaning and further treatment  for my tooth replacement!!’

I don’t know why my first review would show up, anyways here I go: I first came to Dr. Eidelson’s office on South Street a few years ago after visiting and researching a few other dentists in the city. He has a very warm and welcoming office with a very professional staff. They have an office on 11th & South which I normally go to but I just visited his new office on 15th and JFK which is better for me since I work at 17th and Market and can “sneak” an appointment in if need be. Dr. Eidelson is quiet possible the best dentist I have ever met. Not only is he at the top of his industry, he takes the time to make you feel comfortable and explain everything. I have an under bite and many people told me to just get orthognathic surgery to fix my smile. Dr. E worked out a treatment plan to help my smile without surgery. Also they gave me my first cleaning where I felt completely relaxed and no pain. I normally dread going to the dentist but after working with Dr. E and his staff I actually look forward to it. Dr. Eidelson has actually worked on a lot of high profile individuals as well. My mother actually flew out from Southern California to have Dr. Eidelson help her with veneers. Another important thing is that he always stands by his work.

Dr. Eidelson and the entire staff.. Tefta, Meg, Lisa, Lisa, Stewart are THE BEST! Growing up I have never like going to the dentist and never really like any of my past dentist’s until I found Dr. Eidelson. Now I actually love everyone in his office. If you want a dentist that truley cares about every one that walks in. This is the place to go! They have made my family feel that I am truly part of him family. I have beem seeing Dr. Eidelson for at least 10yrs now.

Considering my complicated dental history, calling Dr. Eidelson’s office was one of my better decisions this past year. I was born missing both of my adult lateral incisors and received a temporary fix from a local dentist who did not do much cosmetic dentistry. For roughly 11 years I had temporary filling that helped make my canines look similar to what lateral incisors should look like. While this sounds like an easy resolution, this temporary filling would stain easily, broke on multiple occasions, and had a negative impact on my level of confidence. When I was finally ready to have the teeth fixed permanently, I stumbled upon Dr. Eidelson’s contact information while looking for cosmetic dentists within the Philadelphia area. Upon initial consultation in his office, I was immediately comfortable. He took the time to get to me know me, explained in detail what my options were, the timeline of the process, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Not to mention, his staff members, including receptionists & dental hygienists, were extremely friendly and welcoming to me as a new patient. They are all extremely efficient, hardworking, and take time to get to know their patients (which to me is rare and very important as a patient). Needless to say, the work he did was phenomenal. I could not be happier with my smile and what it has done for my confidence level. I would refer him to anyone in need of dental services, cosmetic dentistry, dental procedures, etc. Dr. Eidelson and his team are great and it is guaranteed to be an enjoyable and comfortable experience!
