Restorative Dentistry Philadelphia  

At Dentistry For Life, our passion for bringing exceptional dental care to our patients is inspired by Dr. Dubin. Located in downtown Philadelphia, Barry Dubin, D.D.S., is no ordinary dentist.

Dr. Dubin earned his doctorate of dental surgery from Temple Medical School in 1969.

In 1991, Dr. Dubin added a masters in applied psychology from the University of Santa Monica to his impressive collection of credentials.

"After graduation from dental school, I wanted more hands-on experience, so I participated in a dental internship at area hospitals. And when the opportunity arose to get a degree in applied psychology, I jumped at it. I don't think you can ever learn enough.”
