How to choose dentists in Philadelphia

  • Check that the provider is licensed. You can look up any Pennsylvania medical license on the Department of State's PALS website.
  • Confirm that they accept your insurance plan and whether you need a referral from your primary care doctor.
  • Look at hospital affiliations. Many Philadelphia practices belong to a larger health system, which makes referrals and records easier.
  • Ask about wait times for new patients, telehealth visits and after-hours coverage.
  • Read recent patient reviews, but focus on patterns (communication, billing, wait times) rather than one-off complaints.

Local tips for Philadelphia

Philadelphia has its own licensing rules that go beyond state law: the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections (L+I) issues contractor licenses, permits and trade licenses, so plumbers, electricians and contractors working in the city need an L+I license on top of any state registration.

SEPTA's subway, trolley and bus network covers most of the city, so check whether a business is near a Market-Frankford or Broad Street Line station if you don't drive. Street parking in Center City is limited and enforced by the Philadelphia Parking Authority.

Philadelphia is in Philadelphia County, and local phone numbers use the 215, 267 and 445 area codes. Popular areas include Center City, Old City, Fishtown, Northern Liberties, South Philly, University City, Manayunk, Chestnut Hill.
