For someone who hates the dentist this is the best possible experience. He makes sure you are comfortable and know exactly what is going on. Constantly checking in to make sure nothing hurts and if you need anything. Also love the music he plays in the office. Overall great experience and will be coming back!

I am a relatively new patient of Dr. Handschuh but not new to dental care. What a pleasure to be treated in an office where your treatment gets the full attention from reception when you walk in, the dental assistant and most important Dr. H. This is the most personally attentive and comfortable dental care you could hope. I feel like i found the holy grail of dental grill work!

Dr Ira Handschuh is a wonderful dentist that has always provided me and my family the highest level of care and service. We all trust Ira because of his professionalism, experience and his sensible approach. I also like to talk with him about music, hockey, fitness and our families.

I started a ton of dental work including veneers a few months ago. The entire experience was a 30K nightmare. I initially knew something was wrong when I got a filling but actually needed a root canal. Was sent somewhere else for a root canal (after I paid for an unnecessary filling). The veneers were extremely painful throughout the whole process but that wasn't the worst of the experience.

When I finally got the veneers and crowns put in, my whole bite was off. I don't smile normal, I don't eat normal, my teeth slide as I chew etc. I went back several times complaining about my bite and how uncomfortable it was. I was even told once that "it's in my head" I own two companies and have 18 employees, I literally don't have time for things to be "in my head".

I went to two orthodontist and one dentist, who all told me the same thing. the crown was bonded too low. Basically the crown needed to be redone. So after months of complete misery I went back hoping that I would get a new crown. I was appalled that the response I got was to shave down the crown and also shave down my bottom tooth. Basically he wanted to permanently alter my bottom tooth to help HIS mistake!

Why in the world would I permanently alter a tooth that doesn't have a crown to adjust for a crown that was bonded too low. update 3/15/22 I have been slowly redoing all of my veneers (by a different dentist) and my only regret is I didn't pick the right dentist the first time around. Pick someone who will actually make good on the mistakes he makes not just take your money. My veneers were a messy sloppy job and all of the edges show. It's like throwing money in the garbage. My bite is finally fixed with a new crown.

Dr. Handschuh is a one-of-a-kind dentist. Let me start out by saying I used to hate going to the dentist out of fear! Dr. Handschuh is the first dentist that has not only removed my fear but makes the experience pleasant. He has a very calming personality and a great sense of humor. Dr. Handschuh is amazing in his craft and goes above and beyond. He has opened his office for me on more than one occasion when the office was closed and I had a dental emergency.

Both of my boys have been going to Dr. Handschuh since they were 3 years old and he still has their photos of their first visit. I wouldn't dream of going to another dentist and I highly recommend Dr. Handschuh!

I cannot recommend Dr. Handschuh enough! He's attentive, warm, and friendly. He answers all your questions and listens to all your concerns. His chair-side manor is also incredible, making sure you're comfortable through any procedure.

Dr. Handschuh and his staff are absolutely amazing. Professional, courteous, and friendly staff made me feel like family. I got porcelain veneers on my four front teeth and was very nervous about the procedure. Dr. Handschuh was very gentle and kind to me. He explained very well what was going on and answered every question I had very thoroughly. I have been to other dentists that exaggerated what my needs were in order to make more money. So it was a relief to find a dentist with integrity. My results were beautiful and very natural which was very important to me. Would highly recommend to anyone!

I honestly cannot say enough positive things about my experience with the Dental Design Center and Dr. Handschuh. Beginning with his kind and professional staff, my experience was first-rate, friendly, and professional. The office was immaculate and well appointed, and there is plenty of easily accessible free parking. Once I was in the chair it was immediately clear that I was in exceptionally good hands.

While my particular dental issue presented some challenging and unique difficulties, I received an honest, quick, and quality resolution getting me off on my vacation without a worry. I offer my wholehearted endorsement to this high quality practice and look forward to my next visit.

I found Dr. Handschuh on Google. I was looking to get my teeth whitened and to find a solution for a discolored tooth. He was very professional, willing to educate me on my options and the work was phenomenal! His team are professional and very welcoming. The office is clean and their procedures adhere to COVID guidelines. Each visit I felt safe and confident that I would be happy with my new smile. I was not disappointed! I highly recommend Dr. Handschuh for your smile makeover!

For all your dental work, he is the one. - Aida

AMAZING DENTAL EXPERIENCE. I've been seeing Dr. Handschuh for years and get more compliments on my teeth than I can count. I come all the way from Long Island, and the results are well worth the drive. Every time I leave the office I feel more confident because of the amazing work he does. The office is sparkling clean, and the staff is so friendly, especially Robin! Dr. Handschuh always makes sure whatever work I am having done is as painless and comfortable as possible. Ten stars.

Dr. Ira is a great dentist. He makes you feel like he is your friend. When I broke my tooth he stayed after hours to fit me in, then he called me the next day to check how I am doing. I have been seeing Dr. Ira for the past 2 years. I like his personal attention. I never had to wait for my appointment.

I don't usually write reviews, but Dr. Handschuh stands out from all my dental experiences as exceptional. He capped my two front teeth when the onlays from elsewhere came off several times. I am so glad he did the work. His work is that of a refined artist. He sees how to make you look like you were born with naturally great teeth (which I wasn't).

He works with an exceptional lab director (Calvin Mun) and between the two of them you get the best - true quality and master craftsmanship. I'm so pleased with the results. Now Dr. Handschuh is my dentist.

I have been a patient of Dr. Handschuhs for years. He and his hygienist are among the most professional and qualified that I have had the pleasure of seeing as a patient. From my biannual check-ups to my recent crown, I cannot say enough superlatives about the practice. As one can expect COVID has placed challenges upon everyone. The procedures followed by the practice are precise and comprehensive.

The precautions that Dr. Handschuh and his staff take are reassuring and comforting. I feel safe and confident each and every time that I am there. I feel as if I am more than a patient to Dr. Handschuh. He demonstrates great concern for not just my dental health but overall well being. I am comfortable in the office and appreciate Dr. Handschuh's professional demeanor and expertise. Thank you very much! Todd

It was really great meeting Dr. Ira Handschuh. He did a thorough exam and explained the overall health of my teeth and gums. I appreciated that his report and the feedback to my questions was straightforward and honest. Dr. Handschuh obviously likes his work and that is depicted in how he treats his clients. I would definitely recommend this dentist! It was also really nice that he has a team of professionals working with him who have warm, pleasant personalities. Thank you ALL.

I had a great experience with Dr. Ira! He is amiable and easy to talk to. He is also very knowledgeable and thorough. He listened to exactly what I wanted and created a step by step plan with various options to follow at my choosing and pace which made me feel very comfortable. He was also very transparent with the cost and payment options. I am very excited to work with him continuously. On another note, his Dental Assistant was very friendly and gentle. I highly recommend!
