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.

The cleaning went very well. Jennifer was very professional and thorough. We’ve been coming to this dentist office going on 23 years. You don’t stay with an organization that long if the service was substandard.

Great people, great place. I have been going to them since I moved to Virginia Beach over 10 years ago. Everything from check in, cleaning, exam and services have been great. I had an old crown come off, they squeezed me in to fix it the same day, highly recommend The Art of Dentistry!

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 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!

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 am adding to my original review below… thank you Mel for always squeezing me in for dental emergencies and thank you Lissie for being an awesome hygienist! My daughter has been going to Abby for many years (see below). This is the only practice we trust!I would highly recommend Dr. Darren Dorfman and his awesome team of hygienists (thank you, Abby!) and support staff for their outstanding dental care and customer service!

This was the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist office. The team is so warm and welcoming! I had problems with bleeding gums and just as they said, the bleeding stopped after I went to them and they took such great care of me during my cleaning. I also had a small gap in my bottom teeth that was bugging me and it went away two weeks later because my gums were so healthy from the cleaning. I am just so impressed! I have healthier gums,cleaner,whiter teeth and by far felt the most amazing I’ve ever felt leaving the dentist office! I highly recommend them 🥰

My recent visit was for an old crown that had fallen off. I wasn’t in any pain, so when I booked the appointment I told them I was ok with the next available which was in December, they offered to call if there were any cancellations. The next morning they called to offer an appointment that day at 2:00. I agreed and as always everything went perfectly from the phone calls to the reception, the procedure ( Dr. Dorfman and his assistant are thorough and want to insure you are comfortable) to the check out. I have been a patient of Dr. Dorfman’s since 2017 and have never had a bad experience. If you are looking for a new dentist, don’t hesitate to contact them, the practice is top notch all the way around.Thank you Art of Dentistry you all are awesome!!!

The Art of Dentistry has been my family's go-to dental practice for over three years, consistently delivering exceptional care. Recently, my hygienist retired, and I was slightly apprehensive about the transition. However, Brittany seamlessly stepped in and exceeded my expectations! Her professionalism, gentle touch, and thoroughness made my latest appointment a breeze. She did a phenomenal job with my entire oral care, leaving my teeth feeling squeaky clean and my mouth feeling fresh. I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment! Awesome job, Brittany and The Art of Dentistry team!

The professionalism of the team is outstanding. They are accessible when you have an issue like pain and always seem to go above and beyond to find and fix the problem. Dr. Shuck and his Dental assistant Katherine are great, so glad my son Matthew referred me to them when we moved back to VB two years ago.

Dr. Ryan Shuck made quite “the splash” ( Aquaman’s twin)! Dr. Shuck is a great addition to The Art of Denistry! Compassionate, Competent & Comedic, The 3 “Cs” that are worthy of “Aquaman”:) But seriously, an A+/ 5 star for him & the entire Artistry Family! You will leave there with a bigger more beautiful smile:). Thank y’all!Welcome aboard, Brittany! Your soft touch with a thorough cleaning is such a gift🎁 No fear in your chair! Appreciate your skills🦷🪥

Recently visited The Art of Dentistry for a refresh of an old filling and Dr. Dorfman was great. I hate all things related to dental visits, but Dr. D and Chris made me feel right at ease. The procedure was quick and painless. And my teeth look fabulous! This practice has been serving me well for over 15 years. Everyone from the front desk personnel to the billing department is top notch!

I am a long time patient. Dr. Ryan Shuck did an excellent job installing a crown, which was pain free, and the fit is perfect. They employ the latest technology, and even fabricate and install the crown on the same day of the procedure. Drs. Dorfman and Shuck are doing a good job of carrying on Dr. Horowitz’s legacy of quality and pain free dentistry !

I have been going to The Art of Dentistry for a few years now and let me tell you, in my 42 years on this earth, I have never had a better dental care team. For every appointment, whether it's a cleaning, root canal, filing, or just a consult, they have made me feel welcome and comfortable. And for each procedure I have never had any issues. They are awesome!

This is going to be LONG!My PCP found that I had an infection due to a toothache that was going on for about a month, so I was scheduled in for an ASAP dental appointment. I was devastated knowing that my little tiny tooth in the front that was causing me so much pain was cracked in 2 places causing me to have an infection in my gums. Let me tell you when Dr. Dorfman and his Assistant Chloe gave this 41 year old momma the news that my tooth couldn't be saved, they saw me cry like a big ol' baby. It was a hard pill to swallow. I was scared and I was a wreck but they took care of me emotionally! Even his coordinator Lee, was so kind to allow me to vent on over the phone, she was so patient with me and took the time to explain things to me so I wouldn't be so scared. It put me in a better spot mentally.Fast forward, I just got my tooth pulled on July 23rd, surgery went smoothly and I actually didn't cry at all. There was a mishap with my flipper/partial and yes I was frustrated but they went above and beyond to make sure I would have my smile again until I get my partial & implant done! Chris, was amazing helping put my temp retainer in, to adjusting it and she also made sure to fix my night guard properly bc I still grind at night like crazy. 🤦🏽♀️Another thing, all of the front desk staff are so kind and welcoming, but my girl Lee is the BEST idk but God surely made her such a patient person. She made me feel at ease Everytime we spoke! And sweet Chloe, girlfriend although I wasn't on the beach that day, you made me feel so comfortable! Dr Dorfman, YOU ARE THE MAN!!! When I tell I told him I put my trust in him, I literally put my whole trust in him and he rocked! He took great care of me from the beginning. He tried to be as gentle as possible, there was a lot of infection in there, and he explained post-op care in laymen's terms for me to understand. He answered every question I had and he made sure to rush my temp retainer so I would have my smile back! We even joked around because that's my only coping mechanism. I said Lord Jesus here he comes! And he said "Lord Jesus"! 🤣🤣🤣 It was hilarious and made me feel comfortable!Finally, it's going to be a long journey since I'm getting a tooth implant but I am so glad my journey is with this crew!!! They are amazing!!!Here's my before and after! They did an amazing job on my temporary retainer bc NO ONE noticed that my tooth is actually gone!I felt extremely confident and happy. I can't wait to get my tooth Implant, because I know they will do an amazing job!!!

We have been going to The Art of Dentistry for 40 years. This includes myself, husband, son and father. Dr. Abbey Horowitz took care of us until he retired. The practice has been cultivated into a wonderful caring team from the office staff to the hygienists with Dr. Darren Dorfman and Dr. Ryan Shuck at the helm. I am so thrilled to now have straight teeth from a 3-1/2 year Invisalign plan! This shows the perseverance and compassion of this practice in giving their patients the best possible care and outcomes. My husband's plan, though, only took a year! Yesterday, my Steve and I just had our cleanings with Nancy and Abbey, both excellent hygienists, very caring and professional. We continue to look forward to seeing Dr. Dorfman and the rest of the team for all our dental needs!

I have never had a fear of going to the dentist, however the last office I visited really did a number on me both physically and mentally. In search of another new office, I came across The Art of Dentistry, and there is no looking back. The front office staff was warm and welcoming and made the check in process a breeze. All of the hygienists and techs I have had the pleasure of working with so far have been so wonderful; they are just as knowledgable as the dentists, they are welcoming, patient, understanding, flexible, and so much more. I also had the pleasure of working with Dr. Shuck for an intake exam, cleaning, filling and crown. He ensured my comfort the entire time and continued to remind me that during my appointment, I was in control of when to take breaks and such. He regularly checked in, added a dash of humor throughout the appointment, and really assisted overall in overcoming any nerves that came up. I am so blessed to now be a patient of Dr. Shuck and his team and look forward to the future of my dental health!
