Cosmetic Dentistry in Virginia Beach

My husband found himself in a dental emergency. The office was kind enough to find an appointment in Dr. Shuck's busy schedule. The ENTIRE staff was very upbeat and friendly. Dr. Shuck and his assistants worked diligently to solve my problem. Dr. Shuck is the best!

I was there yesterday. I have a fear of dentists but they were so kind, patient and understanding. Thank you dr shuck & the wonderful dental assistant!

Jennifer Acker is reason enough for everybody and anybody to go to this establishment. I can almost say I look forward to seeing the dentist because of her attention to detail, professionalism, yet playful, calming demeanor. As a matter of fact, the entire place is extremely professional and very calming. And this is coming from someone who has white coat syndrome, which causes my blood pressure to go through the roof every time I even step foot in a doctors office. Seriously. If you’re looking to have a pleasant experience at the dentist, this is where you go.

Great team of dentist, dental hygienist, and front office staff. Even the office manager followed up with me on a question that I asked.

The Art of Dentistry was recommended to me by several colleagues, and I am incredibly grateful that I followed their advice. I am now a very satisfied patient under the expert care of Dr. Ryan Shuck. I am always anxious and have a lot of fear when visiting the dentist, but Dr. Shuck consistently ensures that each appointment goes smoothly—and, most importantly, painlessly. From my very first visit, the communication was clear, professional, and reassuring. He takes the time to explain every step of the process, answers all of my questions with patience, and makes sure I feel completely comfortable throughout. Dr. Shuck’s expertise and skill are truly exceptional. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier dental care. Thank you, Dr. Shuck and the Art of Dentistry! Brandi, the Dental Assistant for Dr. Ryan Shuck at Art of Dentistry, is exceptionally knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. She goes above and beyond to make every patient feel comfortable and at ease. From the moment you leave the waiting room to the completion of your procedure, Brandi ensures a smooth and seamless experience. Her expertise is evident in how effortlessly she anticipates the dentist’s needs—always prepared with exactly what’s required at just the right time.

Client for 40+ yrs. Just the best dentists. Very professional & friendly atmosphere!

Gary wheeler says: This Dental practice is phenomenal. Very caring staff and doctors. Extremely compassionate care. I can’t wait for my next visit for my dental procedure.

I have to say I love going to the dentist! When you go in the first thing I noticed was everyone working there was happy having fun enjoying their job which I think is very important. I personally love going in there, joking around having fun and guess what they do a great job on crowns fillings whatever you may need. I highly recommend them for any of your dental needs

My family and I have been going to this practice for years and it's always a great experience with them! Everyone working there is always super friendly and they truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Thanks for all your hard work!

Normally, a trip to the dentist feels like the beginning of a horror movie: cold lights, buzzing drills, and childhood flashbacks. But this clinic completely changed my mind. From the front desk to the doctors and assistants — everyone is so friendly that you almost want to stop by just for a coffee and a chat. Dr. Shuck is a whole story on his own. Smiling, patient, and with a fantastic sense of humor. At the same time, he’s a true professional: he works thoroughly, quickly, and with such care that even my inner “I’m terrified of dentists” voice said, “Okay, let’s give this a try.” Hygienist Lissi is out of this world. I’ve been getting cleanings for years, in different cities and even countries, but the cleaning she gave me was hands down the best I’ve ever had. So gentle, comfortable, and effective — I actually walked out feeling like my teeth were shining brighter than the lamp in the treatment room. Bottom line: the clinic is amazing, the staff is golden, and the experience was nothing but positive. If there were a rating for “dentistry without fear and pain,” I’d give them 100 out of 10. Highly recommend — even to those who fear dentists more than horror movies.

Do you hate the shot at the dentist? Same. I used to dread it… until I met Dr. Shuck! Somehow he makes it completely painless (I was poked three times today and didn’t feel a single pinch). He’s fast, friendly, cracks jokes to make the time fly, and his work is flawless every time. I leave every appointment feeling well cared for and at ease. Thank you, Dr. Shuck!!

As new patients, my daughter and I were treated well from start to finish! I did not feel like a stranger. All staff were friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable. Not only were they kind to us, but also to one another. We were seen on time for our appointments. The technology was current. The physical space was clean and inviting. The dentist and hygienist provided us with what we needed to make informed decisions regarding future care. UPDATE: I had to have an old root canal removed today. Yet again, everyone was wonderful. The attentiveness, patience. skill, and compassion demonstrated by everyone involved was deeply appreciated.

Just great!

I cannot say enough about the care, talent and reassurances granted me by Dr. Dorfman and his team. They are truly a skilled group of professionals with chairside manners beyond question or doubt. They really are concerned about my health and wellbeing. I like that...I like that a lot!

Wow, cant believe I gave them 5 stars. It should have been -1

Terrific hygiene appointment Never disappoints

I have always had a good experience at this office. Jennifer is a great dental hygienist. The staff is always friendly and they always explain charges and what insurance will not cover. I always feel that the staff and the dentist and hygienist always are looking out for my best dental care.This is a great practice and I would highly recommend them.

I have seen several of the hygienists and they are all very good and thorough. I've seen both Dr. Shuck and Dr. Dorman, and have been very pleased with my dental care. Both docs have great personalities and are very personable. They also listen to the patient which I have found to be in short supply in the dental field. Really a great office to receive your dental care.

I first came to this clinic through a relative's recommendation and I am very satisfied. The doctor's meticulous attention to patient care is the best. The dental hygienists are also the best.

A pleasant experience at The Art of Dentistry. Dr. Dorfman and Staff were very professional and friendly. I was seen at my scheduled appointment time. I highly recommend.

Friendly staff. Sarah is awesome. Thank you. Lisa is great at what she does, too. Dr. Horwitz is knowledgeable and makes me laugh. I appreciate his devotion throughout the many years I have come to him. Bobbie Bullock-Smith

5 years later and they are still the best! Had a molar filling from 30 years ago break down, so another crown was needed. This was a one-visit-fix! Digital measurements were taken, the molar was prepped to be a post for the new crown, and the new crown was fabricated in the office, placed and ready to go. No off adjust on, off adjust back on, all done in one seamless event. Dr. Dorfman and assist were kind, gentle, and responsive. Additional staff in the office and everyone was friendly, smiling, and the vibe was focused on taking care of people. Highly recommend! Terrible tooth/jaw pain increasing over a couple of days. The folks here got me an appointment within 24 hours. At the appointment, Dr. Dorfman and Jenny methodically went through all the potential causes, settled on the least invasive of checking/adjusting a crown, and proceeded to do so. Very gentle handling. I left with a primary plan, and a secondary plan. Great service!
