About Philadelphia Dentistry

Suite 1302 at 1601 Walnut Street draws the schedule you would expect from Philadelphia's Center City West: office workers taking early-morning slots before they head into a building a few blocks away, Rittenhouse and Washington Square West residents who arrive on foot, and commuters who step off at Suburban Station and cover the rest of the distance walking. Dr. Gurkirt Singh and Dr. Mimi Jeon handle a general, cosmetic and restorative caseload that spans young professionals fixing a chipped front tooth and adults in their sixties planning a full rebuild after decades of patchwork.

Full-arch replacement, the All-on-4 concept, is worth understanding before a consultation, because the marketing around it rarely explains the mechanics. Four to six implants are set into the densest available bone in the jaw, including tilted posterior implants that reach past the sinus and the nerve without grafting. A fixed provisional bridge is attached to those posts, so you leave with teeth rather than spending the healing period without them. Over the following months the bone locks onto the implants, and once that has settled the provisional comes off and a final bridge in a harder material takes its place. It is a fixed prosthesis, not a plate you remove at night, but it still needs cleaning underneath daily and periodic professional maintenance, and candidacy depends on what the scan shows.

The rest of the practice covers the ordinary and the elective in equal measure: cleanings and gum-disease therapy, crowns and bridges, tooth-colored fillings, Invisalign, bonding, veneers and Zoom whitening. Digital X-rays and 3D scanning replace the older impression process. TMJ therapy and sleep-apnea appliances are there for patients whose complaint is jaw pain or snoring rather than a specific tooth. Room is held back in the daily book for anyone calling in pain, so an acute problem does not wait a week.

Hours run Monday through Thursday, 8am to 5pm, plus Friday mornings until 1pm, which suits people who would rather not surrender a whole working day. Financing is handled through Sunbit and HFD, useful when treatment is staged across several visits. One honest caveat about the cosmetic side: whitening only affects natural enamel, so any existing crown or veneer in your smile line has to be remade if you want the shade to match.

Dr. Gurkirt Singh and Dr. Mimi Jeon run a general, cosmetic and restorative practice in suite 1302 at 1601 Walnut Street, a short walk from Rittenhouse Square and Suburban Station. Implant work spans single teeth to All-on-4 full arches, alongside crowns, bridges, gum therapy, Invisalign, bonding, veneers and Zoom whitening. Digital X-rays and 3D scanning replace older impressions, and same-day slots are held for emergencies. Sunbit and HFD financing. Open Monday to Thursday 8am to 5pm and Friday mornings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Philadelphia Dentistry handle a dental emergency during the work day?
Same-day slots are kept open, which matters given the location: suite 1302 at 1601 Walnut Street is walkable from most Center City offices and a short distance from Suburban Station. Call before you arrive so the team can set aside chair time and take an X-ray of the tooth. Mention any pain medication you have already taken and whether the tooth reacts to heat, cold or biting pressure, since that narrows the diagnosis quickly.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and a conventional denture?
A conventional denture rests on the gum tissue and comes out every night. An All-on-4 bridge is anchored to four or more implants set into the jaw, including angled posterior implants that reach denser bone without grafting, and you cannot remove it yourself. It behaves much more like natural teeth when chewing and needs no adhesive, but it costs considerably more and requires daily cleaning underneath the bridge plus regular professional maintenance.
Will teeth whitening match my existing crown or veneer?
No, and it is better to know that before you start. Whitening gel works on natural enamel and dentine, so crowns, veneers and composite bonding stay exactly the shade they were made. If a tooth in your smile line is already restored, the usual sequence is to whiten the natural teeth first, let the shade settle for a couple of weeks, then remake the restoration to match. Plan that order with the dentist rather than discovering it afterward.

Terrible experience, I went there to get my tooth pulled and I have been in pain for over a week. I got a closer appointment to come get my tooth checked where they did surgery and had two stitches stuck in my gums. I ask the surgeon can she provide something else beside Ibuprofen because it was upsetting my stomach & they didn’t have anything else to offer after already spending thousands of dollars for the surgery and implant they told me to go buy over the counter medication smh. I wish I never choose this dentist and they have awards from 2017 I was thinking it would be good but it’s 2026 and maybe it’s just going downhill. Also they told me I might just have to be in pain for a couple more days but everybody body is different, I could possibly be in pain for more than a couple weeks. I’m a firm believer of putting the customer first and this is not a dentist I would recommend for surgery.

Dr. Singh was great! He and Janay replaced one of my old fillings today. I felt comfortable through the process and they were both very attentive

This place totally screwed me over. I didn’t see a dentist for 4 years due to the demands of a medical residency (basically very limited time off). Finally got in to see a dentist after I was finished with this training. I was told I needed thousands of dollars of dental work done. I was like ok yeah, probably deserved this for neglecting my teeth. Had some fillings and 2 crowns done. The dentist I went to did the drilling but the actual filling was done by a dental assistant. Filling quality was awful, never felt like the back of my front teeth was ever the same, and I had this all done in 2021. The crowns were even worse…both have fallen out multiple times. I had someone at a different dental practice look at one crown that fell out a few months ago and she said that the crown had been fitted super poorly, whereas crowns are meant to be fit to your tooth like a puzzle piece, the crown had no interlocking component on my tooth and was just flush against it. Pretty sure this is a drill happy practice that probably wanted to prey on me because I admitted I had no time to see a dentist during medical training. Wouldn’t recommend and I feel really taken advantage of.

I started my dental care with Philadelphia Dentistry in October and by mid December they’ve gotten me all the way together! I’ve had cleanings, fillings, and whitening in office and I’m grateful that I was able to follow the trajectory of care quickly and without challenges. Most of my work was completed by Valerie and Mimi who saw me through the process of laying a healthy foundation for the work I eventually wanted to have done in the future. Thank you to Jenaya for the full circle care, Stephen for help with financing, Devon for future planning, and Kayla and Skylar for welcoming me every time I came by.

I’m a start off I’m. It good with remembering names, but i definitely Loved the place the check-in was super easy and fast and as soon as I walked in and arrived for my appointment, they let me in the back less than five minutes. They were very careful with understanding my needs, They gave me Some great recommendations for my dental work. I was very pleased with all the options that were given for me to be able to pay for my dental work. everyone was super nice and polite and very knowledgeable and they worked really fast. the best part about it is there’s not a lot of female dentist and mines was very very knowledgeable With a great personality!! I’m definitely recommending this place and I will be back for more service. Thanks again!!!
