Delany Dental is by far the best experience I've ever had when it comes to dentists. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Shapira and Kelly. I've had extensive work done and I'm about finished. For the 1st time in years I'm smiling with confidence. I'm going to be very honest. I had no bottom teeth. I was embarrassed for years. So many foods I couldn't eat. Argh, I just felt bad.

Through bad advice from dentists through the years I ended up where I was when I walked in to Delany Dental the first time in November of last year. Regular dentures weren't going to work for me. Today, I have partial implants and a complete set of teeth. I can't stop looking in the mirror. From my consultation to my visit today, and there were many, each experience was amazing.

They are so compassionate and empathetic. It's been about an 8 month journey with them and I feel so blessed to have made the decision to trust them with truly changing my life. Two people that I will never forget have made such a huge impact on how I feel about myself. Life changing

Had a consultation with Doctor Shapira regarding pain in my jaw. It was TMJ. Doctor Shapira showed me how, so many muscles in our body, can affect you, in ways you never would have considered! The pain I was experiencing, was not only in my left jaw, but also, in also in my left ear, neck and sometimes, would radiate over my head! Doctor Shapira showed me all kinds of information regarding this.

He then fitted me with an oral appliance, an Aqualizer Mini., temporary oral splint. I could not believe how quickly, the pain went away. Also, some of the sense of balance, that I have trouble with, due to nueropathy in my feet, improved, along with my hip getting into the proper alignment! I am EXTREMELY happy with the treatment I received from Doctor Shapira, and the results of his treatment.

I would HIGHLY recommend Doctor Shapira, if you are having issues with jaw pain, sleep appnea, or any dental issues. Doctor Shapira, has done extensive research on many issues, that most doctors, have not even heard of. Plus, Doctor Shapira, has had several papers and studies, published, regarding numerous dental health and related issues!

I went in for a consultation and met with Dr. Amidei. He was easily the nicest and most informative Dentist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He took his time and explained everything so thoroughly and in so much detail and most importantly gave me a TRUE/HONEST opinion! It did take a while to be seen based off of my appointment time, but to be honest it was worth waiting!

Anyone who takes their time with you like Dr. Amidei did is worth the wait! Side note: the office is very clean and nice and everyone from the front desk on is so kind and polite and helpful. I had a great experience with everyone i spoke with! I wish my insurance covered this office because i would be a patient there in a heart beat!

Dr. Shapira and his staff are extraordinairy! Prior to seeing Dr. Shapira, I had been to a number of specialists and dentists in an attempt to resolve a complex dental challenge, among other things left me in constant pain and dysfunction in my jaw and a number of teeth. The pain and dysfunction was debilitating. The other dentists and specialists did not help and very often made things worse. Dr. Shapira demonstrated a profound commitment to understand, diagnose, and innovate a solution to resolve both the pain and function of my teeth and jaw.

He would not give up and was always available to help on any level needed. He took a very conservative, compassionate, measured and patient approach, which miraculously resulted in eliminating my teeth pain and restoring proper function to my mouth. Dr. Shapira uniquely represents a combination of compassion, brilliance and integrity (with great humility). Qualities which are rarely found individually let alone collectively. Problably most importantly he is a good person who truly cares.

I would trust Dr. Shapira and his staff with any dentistry needed. We are truly fortunate to have in our community. By the way, his staff is just as extraordinairy and caring.

Dr Amidei is simply THE BEST! I have high anxiety when it comes to dental visits and have been putting off a dental procedure. Dr Amidei and his staff are so patient, helpful and extremely amazing at their job! I felt no pain at all and I am over the moon happy with my results! I can't say enough positive things about Delany Dental! I LOVE my new smile and am excited I finally found the right dentist for me! I 100% recommend to anyone who is looking for a wonderful dentist! Thank you Dr Amidei! :

Highly professional organization from top to bottom with Dr. Mark Amidei and his staff. My clinical outcomes have been second to none and their warm and cordial interaction with each patient makes you feel right at home. No need to go downtown for a specialist of this high caliber; they're right here in your neighborhood.

Best dentist around, Dr. Shapira is so kind, compassionate with scaredy-cats and so knowledgeable! He's even helped me in the past with my chronic pain. Was able to get me in today last minute because of pain I thought was a tooth, and when he realized it was my TMJ he helped loosen my jaw and neck muscles and I feel better already! If you are. someone who is putting off the dentist because you are afraid, please go see him - the whole staff is wonderful! And if you are dealing with chronic migraines, TMJ and facial pain - please see him ASAP, he can help you! I give them 10000000 stars! Thank you all, you'll see me soon!

I have struggled to find a suitable dentist for quite some time but Delany Dental was highly recommended by friends and family. I was pleasantly surprised by their kind and knowledgeable team, from the insightful hygienists to the Office Manager that helped me navigate payment options. The staff is very patient-oriented, hoping to be a partner and educational resource for patients. Definitely a refreshing shift from patronizing dentists I have dealt with in the past. 10/10

Dr Amidei and his staff are so caring and helpful. Always making sure their patients are comfortable and that the best dental options are offered, but never pressuring. His dental practice is very clean and welcoming! I would DEFINITELY recommend anyone and everyone to go see him! From the time you walk in the door until the time you leave they. make you feel like family.

I also had the pleasure of meeting his partner Dr. Shapira and he was also very kind and professional. There should be more Dr's in this world like Dr Amidei and I thank him for being so helpful with my dental needs.

Delany Dental Care has been providing Dental care for my family for years! Dr Shapira & Dr Amidei gives me the peace of mind I need when dealing with such an important aspect of my life. The team is always incredibly polite and makes it a priority to put my needs first. The entire experience from scheduling an appointment to the follow up is always seamless.

The office is warm, inviting, and very clean. I feel comfortable and at ease every time I visit. As a bonus, I end every visit in a massage chair! I can't recommend Delany Dental enough if you are looking for the best dental experience around.
