- 155 Google Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 155 reviews Posted on Gabriel IsazaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding care!Posted on Ashley Feuer-EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I will preface this by saying this is the first google review I have ever written but I had such a positive experience I felt compelled to share. Razavi Dental is hands down the nicest dental practice I’ve ever been to. The space is beautiful and spotless - it feels more like a spa than a dentist’s office (this is clearly by design and shows they prioritize the patient experience). Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The hygienist, the front desk staff, and Dr. Razavi all do everything they can to make you comfortable. My initial appointment and cleaning were very thorough and professional. I came back this week to have an old filling replaced and it was quick and completely painless. Dr. Razavi has such a gentle touch and you can just tell she’s incredibly skilled and careful with everything she does. Aside from the care it itself, it is very easy to schedule appointments and there is even plenty of street parking right out front - a rarity in center city! They also offer a wide range of cosmetic options though I appreciated that they didn’t try to do a heavy sell on anything. I never thought I’d say this, but I actually enjoy going to the dentist now! I’m very glad I decided to try her practice and would 100% recommend Razavi Dental to anyone in Philly looking for amazing care and a great overall experience.Posted on Margaret RockeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Razavi is an artist and her staff are stars. Thorough, kind, professional, and just fun people to be around. I’ve had both regular cleanings and cosmetic work done here and it’s all top notch. You don’t usually think of going to the dentist as a pleasure but with them it is. Also their office is beautiful and they have what I swear is dental equipment from the future!Posted on Jessica TarapchakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Dr. Razavi enough! Her and her staff are extremely thorough and always take the time to explain what they’re doing and why, which makes the whole experience feel comfortable and transparent. The office itself feels like a luxury experience, it’s extremely clean and the small touches—like a hot, scented towel at the end of your appointment—make it stand out.Posted on Mackenzie SchafferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Razavi and her team are the best!! My husband started coming here and they treated him so well so I started! Couldn’t be happier! Never going anywhere elsePosted on Michael CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I never thought I’d say this about a dentist, but I actually look forward to my appointments now. The whole team is friendly, efficient, and somehow makes the whole experience feel easy. No judgment, no pain, and my teeth are in great shape.Posted on Joshua DillardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Razavi Dental is hands down the finest dental operation I’ve experienced. From super friendly administrative staff, to the professionalism of their hygienists, to the calm expertise Dr Razavi brings to the table, this place is absolutely top notch. CLEAN, MODERN, EFFICIENT, PROFESSIONAL, all you could possible want in a dental provider.Posted on Leroy FriedmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really don't like going to the dentist. I mean really. Luckily, I found you guys. I still don't sleep the night before a visit. But you make it bearable - a very pleasant surprise!". Luckily, I found you guys. I still don't sleep the night before a visit. But you make it bearable - a very pleasant surprise!.Posted on Adam KennyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best dentist in the area.

The difference comes down to how much healthy tooth remains. Dr. Razavi explains when each restoration is appropriate, what materials to use, and what to expect from the procedure.
Common Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry in Philadelphia
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Philadelphia?
Porcelain veneers in Philadelphia typically range from $1,500 to $2,500 per tooth depending on the complexity of the case and the materials used. At Razavi Dental, Dr. Razavi uses only premium porcelain and works with top ceramists. During your consultation, you will receive a detailed treatment plan with exact pricing before any work begins.
What is the difference between a cosmetic dentist and a regular dentist?
All cosmetic dentists are general dentists, but not all general dentists focus on cosmetics. A cosmetic dentist has invested significantly in post-graduate training in aesthetics, smile design, and advanced restorative techniques. Dr. Razavi’s training at the University of Pennsylvania Faculty Practice and her AACD membership reflect that additional specialization.
Why does periodontal health matter for cosmetic dental work?
Cosmetic restorations like veneers and crowns are only as strong as the foundation they sit on. If gum disease is present, placing cosmetic work on top of it leads to premature failure, recession, and aesthetic compromise. Having Dr. Hatam evaluate your periodontal health before cosmetic treatment begins is one of the key advantages of Razavi Dental.
How many visits does smile design take?
A typical veneer case requires two to three visits: one for consultation and digital planning, one for tooth preparation and temporaries, and one for final bonding. More complex full-mouth cases may require additional visits. Dr. Razavi will outline your exact timeline during your initial consultation.
Does Dr. Razavi accept insurance for cosmetic procedures?
Most cosmetic procedures are not covered by dental insurance because they are considered elective. However, some treatments that serve both cosmetic and functional purposes, such as crowns or Invisalign, may have partial coverage. Our office will verify your benefits and provide a clear breakdown before treatment.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
That is exactly what your consultation is for. Dr. Razavi will evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and facial aesthetics, then walk you through the options that make sense for your specific situation. There is no one-size-fits-all answer, which is why every treatment plan at Razavi Dental is fully customized.
Do I need to see a periodontist before getting veneers?
Not always, but it depends on the health of your gums. If there is any sign of gum disease, recession, or bone loss, Dr. Hatam will evaluate you before cosmetic treatment begins. Placing veneers on unhealthy gums compromises the result and the longevity of the work. The advantage of having both specialists at Razavi Dental is that this evaluation happens in the same practice, on the same visit, with no separate referral required.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years. Longevity depends on the health of the underlying teeth and gums, how well the veneers are maintained at home, and whether the patient grinds their teeth. Dr. Razavi will assess all of these factors before treatment begins and discuss what realistic longevity looks like for your specific case.
Porcelain Veneers in Philadelphia —
Dr. Razavi's Approach
Veneers are the most requested cosmetic procedure at Razavi Dental and the one Dr. Razavi is most known for. Her approach is minimally invasive — she removes as little natural tooth structure as possible while achieving a result that looks completely natural. Most veneer cases are completed in two to three visits. The first consultation covers your goals and your options. The second visit prepares the teeth and places temporary veneers so you can live with the shape and length before committing. The final visit places the permanent porcelain. Every veneer Dr. Razavi places is custom-crafted to match your facial proportions, skin tone, and the natural variation of real teeth. The result should look like your best smile, not someone else’s.
