Excellent experience. My first visit was a “catch-up” after having less-than-satisfactory experiences elsewhere. Dr. Handelman and his staff did a thorough analysis of my situation, explained our plan, and set things in motion. The hygienist Lynn did a great job. I am very pleased (and grateful to a friend who referred me here).

I've always had excellent care at SSSD, and my latest visit was no exception. Their administrative staff are polite and efficient. Their hygienists are highly competent, friendly, great at working with patients, and make an effort to induce as little pain as necessary (I’ve met hygienists at other practices who didn’t!) The dentists are knowledgeable, skilful, and engage with patients effectively. I’d recommend this practice to anyone.

I came in for my 6month checkup with Dr. Foster. Lynne did a great job of cleaning and then Dr. Foster recommended an old filling needed replaced. She could take me right away so it was done! She explained what was needed, she numbed the tooth up and completed it and I had no discomfort at all. She is very nice and I highly recommend her!

I had a great dental hygiene cleaning with Lynn. She's a wonderful person and really does a terrific job . My dentist is Dr Christine Foster - she is kind, gentle and so personable she explains what she is doing and makes suggestions for ones dental health and hygiene. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I actually enjoy coming for my quarterly treatments and check ups. Kudos to everyone at Silver Spring Smile Designs, keep up the good work!

Dentist Handelman at Silver Spring Smile Designs is a truly outstanding dentist. His work is built to last—my upper front veneers, which he did 17 years ago, are still holding up flawlessly. Even after I moved away and had work done elsewhere, I found myself returning to his office. He just reconstructed my old bridge that has done somewhere else where I moved to. He surely turned a subpar job into the smoothest, most comfortable bridge. This level of quality is a rare find. His honesty is just as impressive as his skills—he is truly committed to doing what is right for his patients, not just what is most profitable. His honest approach to patient care and his genuine desire to deliver lasting results are what set him apart. It’s why his work endures and why I trust him completely. The friendly and professional office staff is the perfect complement to the amazing dental work. I can't recommend him enough.
