About Dr Richard Eidelson, DDS

Dr. Richard Eidelson, DDS provides general dental care to patients in the South Street corridor and surrounding South Philadelphia communities from the practice at 1048 South St, Philadelphia, PA 19147. South Street between 10th and 11th Streets is a vibrant mixed-use block in the heart of South Philadelphia's most eclectic commercial zone, accessible for patients from the Queen Village, Bella Vista, and Graduate Hospital neighborhoods.

Dr. Eidelson's practice delivers personalized general dental care with a solo-practitioner focus on thorough clinical assessment and long-term patient relationships. Comprehensive oral examinations evaluate tooth structure, gum tissue integrity, bite alignment, and the state of any existing dental work, providing a detailed clinical picture that informs care planning for each patient. Radiographic imaging supports early detection of developing conditions — interproximal cavities, bone changes, and periapical pathology — at the earliest treatable stage.

Professional cleanings remove the hardened tartar deposits that accumulate on tooth surfaces and below the gumline between visits, reducing the bacterial environment associated with gum disease and cavity formation. For patients with active decay, Dr. Eidelson provides composite resin fillings that restore the tooth while maintaining a natural tooth-colored appearance. Dental crowns are available for teeth with more significant structural damage, and extractions are performed when preservation is not feasible.

South Street at 1048 in the Queen Village and Bella Vista area is served by SEPTA bus routes on South Street and Washington Avenue, with the Broad Street Line accessible at Ellsworth-Federal station. Street parking is available in the surrounding South Philadelphia residential blocks. Dr. Richard Eidelson, DDS is a patient-centered solo dental practice for South Philadelphia patients on the South Street corridor seeking dependable, personalized general dental care.

I stumbled into Dr. Eidelson’s office one day practically bursting with despair, anxiety and shame over the state of my teeth and the condition of my oral health. It was immediately clear that I had come to the right place. Dr. E and his team are skilled, talented, very compassionate and fun, beautiful human beings! They got right to work and in less than a week the transformation was remarkable. My experience has been nothing short of magical. I feel incredibly lucky to have found them. I wholly recommend them -to anyone and everyone!! Thank you Dr. Eidelson, Heather, Tafta, Lizzy, - all of you, you are the best.

I came to Dr Eidelson with the intention of getting Invisalign and was given a 20-week aligner plan. Dr Eidelson diligently and tirelessly worked to correct my smile well beyond the 20-week aligners and we are finally in the home stretch of the program. My teeth are close to perfection and I have no doubt he will get me there. Dr Eidelson is also pleasant and makes the experience painless and enjoyable, the staff and hygienists are very skilled too. I’ve seen consistent staff over the years and always had a great experience. I am so confident and happy with my new smile and results! Thank you Dr Eidelson & team!

I came into Dr. Eidelson’s office nervously after having several negative experiences elsewhere. Warm greetings and clear assurances were helpful and I decided to move forward. Six months later, I’ve had fairly extensive work done that I’m very happy with. Dr. Eidelson is an exceptional dentist and his support team is the best. I feel I can relax now since I’ve found a really great practice that will take care of my dental concerns.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience getting my front two teeth replaced with veneers by Dr. Eidelson. From the very first consultation, I felt completely at ease—everything was explained clearly, and I never felt rushed or pressured. The attention to detail was incredible. Dr. Eidelson took the time to make sure the shape, color, and overall look of my veneers matched my smile perfectly. The final result looks so natural that no one can even tell I had work done—they just notice that my smile looks amazing. I tested his reputation as the best dentist in the area, and he lived up to it. Can’t recommend him enough!

Dr. Eidelson has been our family's dentist for decades, and we can't recommend him enough. He and his team at Main Street Dental have always given us high quality care for everything from routine checkups to emergencies. They are always up on the latest treatments and technologies, and everyone at the office is kind and caring. State of the art care with a neighborly feel.
