Dr. Gerald Regni, Jr.
Dr. Gerald Regni, Jr., DMD is a solo dental practitioner located in the Italian Market section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He has practiced dentistry since graduating from Temple University Dental School in 1986 and describes his approach as biological and holistic (also referred to on the site as natural dentistry).
The practice offers general dentistry, including fillings, gum disease treatment, root canals, and TMJ disorder treatment, as well as pediatric dentistry, cosmetic dentistry (veneers, whitening, Invisalign, bonding), and restorative dentistry including dental implants, available in both zirconia (non-metal) and titanium options, crowns, bridges, and full-mouth reconstruction. Under its biological and holistic dentistry services, the practice offers evaluation for toxic substances, mercury amalgam filling removal and replacement with biocompatible materials, non-surgical laser periodontics and endodontics, dietary analysis, and materials reactivity testing (using blood serum, such as the Clifford Test) to help identify dental materials compatible with an individual patient’s biochemistry. The website also describes use of Autonomic Response Testing (ART) and Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA), reflex-point based methods the practice uses as part of its evaluation process.
The practice states that it does not use mercury amalgam fillings and uses biocompatible materials in restorations, and its site describes at length a mouth-body philosophy, including the relationship between oral health, nutrition, and overall health. The website does not mention fluoride-free treatment, SMART certification specifically, or membership in organizations such as IAOMT, IABDM, the Holistic Dental Association, or AAPMD. Dr. Regni’s listed training includes over 500 hours of continuing education in areas such as TMJ disorders, orthotic appliance therapy, dental implants, endodontics, and cosmetic dentistry.
The practice sees both adults and children, with pediatric dentistry listed among its services. Virtual consultations are not mentioned on the website. The practice states it does not participate in dental insurance plans or managed care programs and requests payment at the time of service, though it will file insurance claims on a patient’s behalf; financing is available through the Dental Fee Plan program. Prospective patients can get started by calling the office at 215-351-9399 or requesting an appointment through the website; a biological dental exam is listed at $190.
