This is by far the best dental experience I have ever had. The hygenist was pleasant and thorough when I got my cleaning. Then I had to get two caps and two filling redone. I never had caps or any other extensive dental work. I have had two caps, done, and two fillings redone over the past month. The drilling was quick, the caps are perfect, and so are the fillings.

Recovery is quick and painless as well. I never even felt the needle go in for numbing. During the break waiting for the cap to be made, I fell asleep in the dental chair, that is how relaxing this place is. For a dental visit, it was the best I have ever experienced. I recommend them 100%!!!

I’ve been a patient here my entire life, and I’m so grateful for the fabulous dental care The Art of Dentistry provides! Today, Dr. Shuck filled my first (and hopefully only) cavity. It was 100% painless and so quick! Everything turned out perfectly even though I started involuntarily swallowing for no reason except that I swallowed once and then panicked that I had messed everything up and then proceeded to apologize which also caused a bit of unhelpful intraprocedural movement.

Dr. Shuck was faster than my unintentional attempts at disaster, and my tooth looks and feels perfect! I cannot even see the filling! Everybody here is awesome, and I’m so very thankful for this amazing team!

My regular hygienist was not available and I was seen by Sarah or (Sara) who subbed for Melissa. I must say Melissa is awesome and I lost nothing with Sarah. They both were very respectful understanding that I did not exercise the best dental hygiene in my youth. Dr.

Dorfman is an outstanding dentist who takes his time in explaining each procedure. The entire office is very friendly and considerate.

I’ve been going here for maybe 15 years now, and these people are always ready to help you in an emergency. The reason I started going here was because they can give you a crown the same day that you come into the office with their advanced 3-D printer. I had a cleaning yesterday with Kristy and then an examination by Dr. Dorfman. I always leave knowing that they have given me thorough exam.
