deme

My wife was there for dental cleaning and they said she needed two crowns for teeth that we later realized were completely fine. They grinded the two teeth which had earlier filling and then put crowns on. It was super costly even after using insurance. At the end of it, one of the crowns got a hole and also came off. When we checked with another dentist, they called out to what was done at deme as unjust and completely unnecessary. Avoid at all costs!

I had a great experience getting my annual cleaning and exam. Melinda was my hygienist and she was very professional, through, and knowledgeable. When she used the mini pressure washer device that hurts my ears, she specifically avoided using the device on the areas that would hurt. There was also minimal splashing. The dentist Dr. Soheili was also very professional and informative. Definitely will go here again!

I had been using Deme as my dental provider since I moved to Philadelphia (for over 2 years) and I am deeply sorry to add this comment however, I must write this as a reference future patients. +++ I want to thank for the office workers in this clinic because they were always more than helpful, hats off to you all+++ I also learnt the importance of adding the reference to the dental clinics after some months or maybe years because you don't really see the affects straight after. 1) Tooth no 7: My first visit (emergency), I have been informed that, I need a root canal and a crown. The procedure had been completed and within a year my crown came off. They put it back however, it's slightly cracked inside and it looks bad for the esthetic way. 2) Tooth no 15 and 16: They have informed me that, I need to extract them regardless and there is no way to restore these 2 tooth. Luckily, I have visited my home country and my dentist at home restored both of them with a crown and I have no issues. P.S: My dentist back home, asked me to send a panoramic x-ray prior to my visit just to have an idea in advance since I had a limited time abroad (obviously, he had taken all x-rays during my visit abroad) and Deme clinic asked me in an insultingly way ''ohh don't they have a panoramic x-ray over there'' the fun fact is (not even considering the cost of procedures) my clinic is 10s of times better than the service at Deme. 3) Tooth no 3 (the time I decided to write this comment and finally stop using Deme as my provider): I had a root canal and a crown last year (pretty much brand new) and it started to get loose 2 weeks ago. I scheduled an appointment and I thought that, they will put it back, since I experienced the same thing before. They took an x-ray (no issue, broken part, cracked part) and then the dentist spent a couple of minutes with a dental tool to remove it and there you go, I have been informed that, it's broken (which was not visible on x-ray, per the dentist word, I did not see the x-ray) and I also been informed that, I must get an implant because there is no way to restore it. I have been said ''SORRY'' and that's all. I was so frustrated and today I decided to visit another dental clinic for the same tooth (I am not going to name the dental clinic in Philly, however it has 10s of times more good reviews). The new dental clinic informed me, there is no need for an implant, the remained tooth is really good enough and I can save it with a new crown. They have also informed me that, it was most probably broken because Deme made an oversized crown. Meanwhile, I was talking to my dentist back home and I was given exactly the same answers with the new clinic that I will use from now on in Philly. The new clinic is slightly more expensive than Deme however, my advice is don't avoid paying 10% - %20 extra for your procedures and you will receive long lasting treatment. I feel like, Deme is offering (we are not dentists or experts in dentistry so we really don't know what dentists exactly doing) crown for the minor procedures and then finding a way to lead it to dental implants to charge the insurance companies as much as they can. Yet again, I am so sorry to write these comments but I feel obliged for the future patients also worth to mention once again, thank you for all office workers at Deme.

This is a belated review. During the first year of the pandemic my crown unexpectedly came off. I visited this office for a repair on the crown. The reason I had a negative experience was because subsequent to my visit and my repair, I ended up having a root canal on the same tooth (from a different office) due to the poorly performed service by this office. After the initial repair, I went back again because of the lasting discomfort from the crown. I may have went back for a third time. The discomfort and frequent pain lasted through summer of the following year. I eventually visited other offices to get a second / third opinion. Their evaluations and my x-ray confirmed that the crown repair was improper and that I needed a root canal right away. I know (it's true for me) that it can be difficult to judge the quality of medical services received and that procedures do go awry. The thing I remember the most beside the improper repair was that during my subsequent visits, my dentist displayed a lack of care for my concerns and lack of accountability and willingness to help. That ultimately is why I would not recommend this office. I have since visited several other offices near Rittenhouse Square and they were great. If you are on the fence, consider another office.

Had a crown fall off and they worked me into their schedule right away. Quick repair and I was out of there. Everyone was very friendly and the place is super clean.

I was really impressed with the entire experience at Deme... - Krissy and Jenna at the front desk got me in on short notice and talked me through all the insurance paperwork in a way that was easy to understand. - Melinda the hygienist was incredible. It had been the better part of a year since my last cleaning, so there was alot of work to do. Melinda was extremely thorough and made sure to get my teeth cleaner than I can remember. She also gave me some tips about how to adjust my daily brushing and flossing routine to keep my teeth healthy. - The Dentist, Dr Perschon, did a thorough check up and talked me through all of the concerns / risk factors to watch out for to keep my teeth in good shape - The office had a feel that evoked the spa at a high end resort: spacious and comfortable with beautiful equipment, furniture and artwork. I highly recommend Deme to anyone in the Pholadelphia area!

The best dentist and staff anywhere! I was in a lot of pain with a tooth that had exposed root tips. I spoke to Sandra on the phone who was very helpful and professional. I also spoke to Cheryl George and I was able to come in right away to see Dr. George. When I arrived at the office it was clean, immaculate, and quiet. I only waited about a few seconds and was taken into the back by one of the dental assistants Krissy. Krissy and another dental assistant, Jenna, were both very professional and made me feel at ease. We had a good time talking and laughing that I forgot where I was. They explained what was going to happen and took a full history to give to Dr. Thomas George. Dr. George and Jenna worked on my tooth and were able to take care of it right away. I was given all of the information that I needed when I left and Cheryl George explained everything and gave me a prescription for an antibiotic. My experience was one of the best that I have encountered at any dental practice. A truly GREAT staff and GREAT experience! Thank you so much.

I have been going to Deme for about a year now. I have had a lot of dentists over the years, and Deme is by far my favorite. The office is modern and extremely clean and they are staffed with some of the best dentists in Philadelphia. Everyone that works at Deme is warm and professional - a great vibe for a dentist's office. I was referred there due to a dental emergency - they got me in as soon as possible and took excellent care of my teeth. My dentist (Dr. Ford - she's awesome) was genuinely concerned with my case. They take amazing care of my teeth, I will be a loyal patient to Deme for as long as I live in Philly.
