This is a pediatric dental practice that also offers braces, Invisalign, clear aligners, and TMJ treatment. Reviews describe Dr. Solow handling emergencies quickly, including an overnight repair after an accident, and taking time to walk parents through options. Scheduling comes up often, with mentions of Saturday appointments, on-time visits, and accommodation for last-minute rescheduling, and the central Center City location with multiple sites is noted as convenient for families juggling several kids' appointments.

Such a great first experience! We called in a panic because our baby had something going on in her mouth (not just a routine checkup), and they understood right away and got us in that same day — we really appreciated that. The waiting room was clean and kept our baby entertained, and the exam room was spotless too. Amarellis was so sweet and attentive with our little one, and Dr. Steve was fantastic — patient, thorough, and clearly great with kids. We left feeling so relieved and well taken care of. Highly recommend!

We have been coming to Dr. Solow and Team for 20 years now, and it has been an enjoyable experience every time! My oldest son received his braces at the practice, and my 2 younger children continue to visit for their regular checkups. I am always impressed by how comfortable they make the children feel, especially since my boys are not always the easiest patients. The team is consistently accommodating with our school and work schedules, and we appreciate the flexibility with emergency appointments. I highly recommend this dental office to anyone seeking excellent care for your children. Thank you for everything you do!
