Serving Our Patients
For 50 Years

Dr. Jay Goldsleger founded Upper Merion Dental Associates in 1976 as a small, one doctor, pediatric practice.

Over time the parents of his patients were so pleased with the office and the manner that the children were treated that they asked Dr. Jay to treat them.

Since his expertise was in treating children, he hired a General Dentist to treat the adults. Subsequently Orthodontic services were added to the office. Over time the practice has grown to multiple offices located throughout the Philadelphia Suburbs and the Lehigh Valley. All of the children’s dental offices are welcoming to children with colorful waiting rooms, retro video games, and a staff that truly cares about kids. The Upper Merion office is the only office that offers comprehensive adult dentistry. Four of the offices offer orthodontics. In-office Sedation is available in 4 of the offices and treatment under General Anesthesia is available in 2 conveniently located SurgiCenters.

The group currently consists of 20 Pediatric Specialists, 4 General Doctors, and 4 Orthodontists, and multiple Dental Hygienists and Expanded Function Dental Assistants.

The dental professionals are supported daily by dedicated receptionists, insurance specialists and office managers that are committed to making your dental visit painless and stress free. As much as Upper Merion Dental Associates has grown, we are still privately owned (10 of our dentists are partners) and have turned down multiple offers to sell to corporate entities.

I've had bad experiences in the past but my recent appointment went well. The employees were kind and I was out of there within 45 minutes!

My family has been coming here for many years. Both of our sons now 23 & 19 had braces as kids. We had our teeth cleaned regularly. Recently, when I had issues with a tooth, I got the support and answers I needed. I appreciate UMD and highly recommend them.

Primarily a pediatric dentist, but they will readily take adults. I've had good service from them across the board.

Will ALWAYS highly recommended UMDA!! My boys have gone here since they were little and they love it. The staff are incredibly nice and friendly and efficient! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On that, alone! The kids'waiting room is super cute with an arcade area(where my boys spent all of their waiting time) and a great pirate ship climbing/slide. There is also a separate waiting room for a adults/different procedures. The doctors are on their game and know what they're doing! Cleanings are a breeze because they make you feel so comfortable. My boys have beautiful smiles thanks to the orthodontists!! 😁 Absolutely 100% recommend!!

Feels very clean, professional, evidence-based, and genuinely committed to their patients’ care. It is however, becoming increasingly difficult to schedule a routine cleaning. They’re simply outgrowing themselves and need to expand.

I was very pleased with the doctor and nurse, they both explained everything very well to me, I used to take my two older kids there when they were little, although my kid has to get several cavities and one tooth pulled that's the only upsetting part about it., other than that everything went very well.
