About Dentistry for Life

Dentistry for Life in Philadelphia, PA, provides orthodontic care for patients seeking clear aligner treatment.

The practice specializes in Invisalign, offering an alternative to traditional braces for individuals looking to straighten their teeth without the visibility of metal brackets and wires. Dr. Kunal Parikh and Dr. Kimmie Patel lead the clinical team, delivering customized treatment plans based on individual dental needs and alignment goals. Invisalign uses a series of removable clear aligners that gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Patients typically wear each set of aligners for a prescribed period before advancing to the next stage in the sequence. This approach allows for correction of spacing issues, crowding, and bite concerns while maintaining a discreet appearance during treatment. The practice has established a reputation in the Philadelphia community, reflected in its 4.9 rating across 726 Google reviews. This patient feedback suggests consistent experiences with clinical care and practice operations. Dentistry for Life serves patients throughout the Philadelphia area. Individuals interested in Invisalign treatment should schedule a consultation to determine their candidacy for clear aligner therapy, as treatment suitability depends on the complexity of orthodontic needs and individual dental health factors.

Friendly staff, quality work, and affordable. They also check in regularly before doing stuff to make sure you’re comfortable/not stressed. They do schedule out quite a bit (and have limited business hours/days) so it can be hard to get a non-emergency appointment, but if you do have an emergency pop up they get you right in.

I had an amazing experience with the entire team—Aishah, Phoenix, Hadeer, Dr. Patel, and Melina. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Everyone was extremely kind, patient, and professional, and they took the time to explain everything about my dental health and Invisalign treatment so I felt confident in the process. You can really tell this team cares about their patients and takes pride in what they do. The atmosphere is warm, positive, and very professional. I truly appreciate the level of care and attention they gave me. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly dental team. You will definitely be in amazing hands here!

I’ve been coming here for the past two years for my dentist appointment and have not left disappointed, confused nor nervous about a procedure. They provide a high quality service and greet you with respect, professionalism and gentleness. The past few times Phoenix has taken care of me, and makes sure I leave every appointment with all my questions answered and is very gentle and considerate when performing any procedures. As it is located in center city the only downside is that it can be tough to fond parking nearby.

I had to come in for a deep scaling cleaning with Rebecca and she is just extremely good at what she does. I've gotten my fair share of regulat cleanings as well as deep cleanings and the experience with her was simply so much better. From the very beginning she went out of her way to ensure that I didn't experience any pain and then she proceeded to do the most thorough cleaning I've ever received. She informed me of so much information that I was basically left with no questions to ask. As someone that sometimes put off these type of deep cleanings, she sets the bar so high that I actually want to come back. Just incredible.

Dentistry For Life has made any worries regarding my oral hygiene disappear!! When I first started my treatment, I was a bit nervous due to issues with previous dental offices, but the staff made sure I was comfortable and was beyond patient with me. As a college student, it can be difficult to fit self care into your schedule but DFL was always communicative about openings and solutions to get me seen.The atmosphere is welcoming and warm even on the coldest days and the nature videos played on the tvs will forever make my experiences better! There’s no other place I’d recommend! 🫂☺️ Wishing the staff nothing but the best, Aamiyah
