At Leardi Family Dentistry, our goal is simple — we’re here to provide a smile you feel great about.
We’re incredibly proud of the amazing team we’ve built here at Leardi Family Dentistry. Most of us have been part of the practice for a long time – and if you’re a longtime patient, you’ve probably noticed! You’ll always be greeted by familiar faces. Five of us have been here over 20 years, and three of us for over 15. We’re a close-knit crew that shares a love of sports – especially Dr. Leardi! We cheer for the Birds, the Phils, Villanova, and more. Fun fact: one of our dental assistants was even a Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader…can you guess who?
Most importantly, we all share a love for healthy, happy smiles. We understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful, so we’re here to help you feel relaxed, welcomed, and cared for from the moment you walk in.
Robert K. Leardi, D.M.D.
Dr. Leardi, the oldest of nine children, grew up in Springfield, PA, and graduated from Cardinal O’Hara High School, Villanova University, and Temple University School of Dentistry. After practicing in Media, PA, he opened Leardi Family Dentistry in Kennett Square on December 1, 1998. The office started modestly with two chairs and no patients but quickly grew thanks to his commitment to exceptional care.
Now celebrating 27 years, the practice continues to focus on patient comfort, health, and personalized service. Dr. Leardi stays up to date on the latest treatments through the Spears Education Study Club. Outside the office, he’s a passionate fan of Villanova basketball and all Philadelphia sports teams—and always enjoys chatting about the latest games!

KIND WORDS
“Great experience every time. I've used over a dozen dentists across the country, so I may have some perspective when I say that Dr. Leardi is a top tier provider. I would not go elsewhere. And as important as his skills in dentistry, he picks his staff well and has an excellent team.”
