About Center City Dental
- The practice publishes three dentists
- Dr. Derrick Turner, Dr. Wendy Song and Dr. Shefali Mehta. Dr. Turner's biography states he is a New York City native who came to Philadelphia in 1992 to attend Temple University School of Dentistry, that in 1999 he partnered with Dr. Coleman in an already existing practice, and that in 2004 he appeared in an episode of "Ambush Makeover" as the cosmetic dentist chosen to restore a patient's smile; that reference to Dr. Coleman is the only place the site connects to the name Coleman and Turner Dental Associates, which does not appear on the website. Dr. Wendy Song is described as a general dentist and a graduate of UNC School of Dentistry, trilingual in Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and English, with a stated interest in oral surgery and cosmetic dentistry; her page describes her as a 2026 Invisalign Gold Provider. Dr. Shefali Mehta is described as a general dentist who attended New York University and received a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree, working across endodontics, oral surgery, implants, Invisalign and cosmetic procedures. DDS or DMD letters are published only for Dr. Mehta; they are not published for Dr. Turner or Dr. Song, and no state licence numbers appear on the site. The about page also names hygienists, assistants, front desk and office manager staff by first name. The home page states the practice has 4.8 stars across 665+ Google reviews.
What Center City Dental does
Center City Dental is the name published on this website; the site describes it as a dental practice at 1601 Walnut Street in the Rittenhouse Square area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The site lists these dental services: family dentistry (exams, teeth cleanings, X-rays and preventive care for patients of all ages), cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, ICON treatment and smile makeovers), Invisalign and orthodontics described as clear aligner therapy, dental implants and "Teeth in a Day" described as permanent tooth replacement solutions including same-day options, restorative dentistry (crowns, dental bridges, tooth fillings, dentures and root canals), and emergency dentistry, for which the home page states same-day appointments are available for new and existing patients. The services page also lists oral cancer screening, periodontics, tooth extractions and wisdom tooth extraction as separate service pages. The practice describes itself as offering care for patients of all ages and says it personalises every treatment. To ask what a specific service involves, or to book an appointment, the published phone is (215) 981-0380 and the office address is 1601 Walnut St, Ste 720, Philadelphia, PA 19102. The website does not publish clinical criteria, treatment timelines, success rates or per-service prices, so those should be confirmed with the office directly rather than assumed.
Where Center City Dental works
Lists Dayton, Ada, Fishtown, Philadelphia, Rittenhouse, Temple, Richmond, and Rahway as a location. Names New York and Pennsylvania as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.
Prices
- The website publishes one price
- a $99 New Patient Special covering an exam, X-rays, cleaning and cosmetic consultation. The seasonal offers page states the terms verbatim: new patients only; the offer must be mentioned to be redeemed; it includes a comprehensive exam, a full set of x-rays, a cosmetic consultation and professional dental cleaning (prophylaxis only, and does not include periodontal cleanings or maintenance such as scaling and root planing or periodontal maintenance visits); it is applicable to cash patients only and cannot be combined with any insurance, reduced-fee program, other offer or discount; ADA codes 0150, 0210 and 1110 are cited; and the offer is valid until 12/31/2026. The same page carries fine print for an Invisalign offer valid from 9/21/26 to 9/25/26, citing ADA 8080 and 8090, but the discount amount for that offer is not stated anywhere on the page. The home page separately advertises "Free Consultations for Invisalign". Apart from the $99 figure, no prices, rates, fees or cost estimates are published for any treatment. There is no fee schedule and no published quote form, so anyone asking what a crown, implant, whitening or Invisalign case would cost should call (215) 981-0380 for an estimate rather than be quoted a figure.
Hours and contact
The office is located at 1601 Walnut St, Ste 720, Philadelphia, PA 19102, which the site describes as being in Rittenhouse Square. That is the only address published; no second location or branch is listed. The published phone number for contact and for booking is (215) 981-0380, written on the site both as (215)-981-0380 and (215) 981-0380. Published hours are Monday to Thursday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and Friday 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. Saturday and Sunday hours are not listed, and the site does not say whether the office is open on public holidays. To schedule, the site's "Book Now" buttons link to an online appointment scheduler at appointnow.com, and the contact page also carries an embedded self-scheduling widget; patients can equally call the phone number above during the hours listed. Areas served, as named on the site, are Philadelphia neighbourhoods including Rittenhouse Square, Center City, Northern Liberties, Queen Village, Society Hill, Old City, Logan Circle, Fishtown and Port Richmond. The site says new patients are welcome and that a consultation can be scheduled. The website does not publish parking, transit, wheelchair access or after-hours contact details, and does not state how far in advance an appointment must be booked.
Payment options, financing and insurance information
The For Patients page sets out how patients pay. Major credit cards are accepted, listed as Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. CareCredit is offered, described on the page as a way to pay for treatments and procedures insurance does not cover, with zero interest financing or low minimum monthly payment options and an instant approval process; the page directs applicants to carecredit.com. Sunbit is also offered under the heading "Smile Now, Pay-Over-Time", described as a way to split a bill into monthly payments up to 72 months, with no hard credit check, no late fees or penalties, and options shown in about 30 seconds. The site also links to an online payment page at pay.balancecollect.com for paying a bill. On insurance, the page carries the heading "We Proudly Accept the Following Insurances" above a row of logo images, but no insurance carrier or plan is named anywhere in the page text, and the page does not say whether the practice is in network with any plan. Because of that, no specific insurer, coverage level or network status can be confirmed from the website: patients should call (215) 981-0380 to ask which plans the office accepts and how their own coverage would apply.
