About Philadelphia Dentists
Philadelphia Dentists provides dental care on South Broad Street in the Point Breeze area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. It is the kind of appointment most people need on a routine schedule rather than only when something hurts.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

I’ve been coming here for years. The staff is always Friendly and they get you in and out quickly
This was BY FAR the best dental care experience I’ve ever had. Dr. Lyle is the best dentist I have ever been to. I came in for my first appointment with some pain in a couple spots. After x-rays and a cleaning it turned out I had to get a couple fillings replaced and one adjusted. They were able to get that done all in the same visit. I was in and out in an hour. Dr. Lyle communicated very well and made me feel very comfortable. I trust her completely with my dental care. Candace was an excellent dental assistant that treated me very kindly as well. From the second, I walked in the office Kirsten at the front desk made me feel very welcome. She guided me through the paperwork process and made every step of my visit very clear for me. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a dental practice, you can trust! Will be coming back.
11 out of 10! Needed help with a filling and they were able to bring me in for an appointment within MINUTES. So friendly, so kind. :’)
Great customer service
I'm honestly confused about this place. They inform you that you need a procedure done, but when you ask them to run your insurance to see how much it'll cover they never answer. 5 phone calls gone unanswered. Interesting.
I will be doing my follow up appointments elsewhere. I confirmed my appointment yesterday, showed up and the appointment had been cancelled in their system. They said they could still see me. I waited an hour and a half for my appointment. The woman doing the X-rays kept missing and redoing them over and over, to the point that I had to stop her. They tried to sell me on a bunch of unnecessary treatments. Then the dentist himself did my cleaning. He was rushing like crazy and missed half of my mouth with the polishing and flouride. Not worth your money or your time! Also when I scheduled the appointment, their system charged my card the copay amount 4 times and they had to refund me. That should've been my sign to go somewhere else. But you live and learn.
Kiersten helps me a lot. Sheis nice and kind and never judges anyone. She understands people's needs really good. Easy to talk to too. The dental office is clean and modern. Front desk is nice and doctors are nice. Good staff with appointments always available. Great place for dental work if you need it
This place is great but Gabby was absolutely wonderful! She is so nice,helpful,sweet and great at her job. Gabby made sure to explain everything they were doing and the work that they would be doing at upcoming appointments. She took the time to make sure I understood everything and answer all of my questions and address concerns I had.
I absolutely love this office. I see Dr Alvin Zad and his assistant/office manager Kierstin who is lovely and beyond helpful. They have made something that is terrifying for me such an easy and smooth experience. I love the front desk girls Gabby and Maly who help with treatment planning. The office is clean and you really get that neighborhood feeling. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, regardless of my commute time. Shout out to you guys!
My experience at Philadelphia Dental was mixed. I originally came in for an appointment with Dr. Lyle, but she was unavailable that day and I was seen by another dentist instead (Dr. Alvin Zad). During that visit, I was told I had six cavities and needed six fillings, which immediately raised concern for me as it felt excessive and inaccurate. I spoke with the dental assistant, Kiersten, and requested a second opinion with my requested dentist. She was understanding and helped me reschedule without issue. When I later saw Dr. Lyle, she confirmed that my teeth were healthy and in good condition and did not see any of the issues previously mentioned. While I can’t speak to the intentions behind the initial assessment, I personally would not feel comfortable being treated by Dr. Zad. That said, Dr. Lyle was excellent, Kiersten was professional and supportive, and Gabby at the front desk was also very helpful. I’m grateful I trusted my instincts and sought a second opinion. I highly recommend Dr. Lyle and the staff I interacted with, but I strongly encourage patients to advocate for themselves and ask questions if something doesn’t feel right. I will follow Dr. Lyle wherever she goes.
