Recently I placed Veneers on my lower front teeth because of teeth chipping. I have Veneers on my upper front teeth that were placed by Dr. Handa awhile ago and they look beautiful. I was worried about placing lower Veneers because of potentially having a negative impact on my alignment. However they are absolutely beautiful! I was very surprised at how my jaw is now aligning and bite improvement.Dr Handa and her team provide impressive and very high quality dental care and I am very satisfied!!! thanks

Im so glad I came to Dr Handas office when I did! After several years of daily headaches, tiredness, facial soreness, ears ringing, and more, I wanted to find a solution. I knew I had issues with my TMJ, but had no idea that my symptoms were all connected. Dr Handa and her team went above and beyond in their personal interest in my case, and I really appreciate how they always explain everything so that Im comfortable and know what to expect. Ive been using the C20 appliance for about 5 months and am practically symptom-free now! Im so grateful to have the relief Ive been looking for. Im very excited to move onto my next steps as I continue to work with Dr Handa and her amazing team.

My family has worked closely with Dr. Handa for 6 years. She is a warm, intuitive, calm person, and particularly wonderful with children and people who are anxious or in pain...I’ve recommended her to lots of friends and have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t love her! My 14 year-old son, whom she’s treating with the DNA appliance and MYO therapy, is starting to breathe through his nose at night, and his teeth are starting to straighten as they find more space. We’re amazed at his progress, and he is motivated to keep going because of how Dr H is able to encourage and empower him without overwhelming him.Dr. Handa is smart, highly skilled, and experienced—a perfectionist who’s always pushing herself to learn more and to bring her practice to the next level. What sets her apart for us is her commitment to finding and addressing the root cause of dental problems, TMJ pain, and breathing issues, and to a holistic understanding of how these relate to our overall health. She’s a true partner and advocate, and we look forward to visiting her office because we know we’ll be listened to and cared for with kindness and respect. Her staff is fantastic too—so grateful to have found her!!!!

Dr. Handa put all the pieces of my health together. I can truly say she was the missing link for me and my family. I struggled with pain in my neck, shoulders and arms for years. After having babies, I blamed my pain on poor nursing posture and sought out physical therapy. Upon a suggestion from a friend, I learned about the correlation of the jaw joint with this pain. My journey took me a few years before I found Dr. Handa, but I am so excited about the quick transformation and relief and the detailed plan she has for my optimal health. I am so thankful she is dedicating her lifes work to this research and making it her specialty. Now I am bringing my children to her to evaluate so they may not need the surgical interventions and struggles I went through to find alignment. Thank you Dr. Handa and staff!

Dr. Handa is not only the best dentist, but she is also the most amazing person!! She has already helped me so much in my short time of knowing her. She goes above and beyond to help all of her patients and truly cares about each and every one of them. I’m so lucky to have found Dr. Handa and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her. If you need a new dentist, or just want someone who will do everything she can to help you, look no further! She is the best!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Handa for years. She and her staff are fantastic. I feel she is truly concerned about my oral health and does exceptional work. With COVID pandemic, she is taking extreme care for my safety. It is really impressive.

Although I was happy with my dentist, I needed one who accepts Care Credit. I checked Dr. Handas reviews and they were so good that I felt comfortable trying her out to get a crown. She scheduled two appointments, one so we could get to know each other and another for the crown itself. Her office is beautiful and calming. She is very friendly and so is her staff. She combines old-fashioned warmth and atmosphere with new technologies. In fact, her assistant Sylvie scanned my tooth and a machine created my crown then and there! No two-week wait! Also, instead of using Novocaine, she used a topical numbing agent thats much stronger than the topical agents most dentists use, although I believe that was because Id had a root canal, so very little area around the tooth had feeling. She will use Novocaine if you prefer it. I feel very comfortable making Dr. Handa my new dentist.

Dr. Handa is the BEST dentist! I’ve seen her for many different procedures over the years. From a cosmetic perspective, my teeth have never looked better. We’ve done Invisalign, bonding and teeth whitening and I love the way my teeth look now. We also did a sleep study to assess the quality of my sleep and then took steps to improve it - and it’s working! Most importantly, however, Dr. Handa recently noticed a potentially serious medical issue after reviewing the results of an airway scan that she did for me. Needless to say, I was quite concerned and contacted my PCP for follow-up. After further testing, everything turned out to be fine, but my PCP went out of her way to tell me what a great dentist I have. My PCP commented that in her experience, it is very rare for a dentist to be so thorough and so detail-oriented that she noticed a potential medical issue completely unrelated to oral health. I feel very lucky to have Dr. Handa as a dentist.I also have to say that I love going to her office. I find it serene and comforting and Dr. Handa and her staff are kind, reassuring and fun!

I could not be happier with my first experience at this practice! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, even helped me locate my dental insurance info when I couldnt find my card. Dr. Handa came out to meet me before my cleaning to get to know me a bit and discuss my needs. I am a BIG wimp about cleanings and not only was the hygienist super gentle, she was quick and efficient. The office is clean and modern, their equipment is up to date, really I dont have a single bad thing to say about them.

I am a long time patient of Dr. Handa and I have always appreciated her personalized whole body and mind approach to dentistry. I had my first appointment in a our new COVID-19 world and I felt extremely cared for and safe (I also felt that I wasnt putting her in harms way) due to her new protocols. Her warmth and ability to connect via herchair-side manner still come through even though she is covered from head to toe with PPE & a respirator mask.

Dr. Handa is a lifesaver. Having suffered from TMJ/TMD for most of my life, and having gone to ten different dentists trying to avoid jaw surgery, Dr. Handa is the first doctor to believe in my own capacity to heal myself and to guide me on this journey. Competent, patient, kind, thoughtful, she is the doctor we need! Thank you, Dr. Handa!

Dr. Handa and her staff are amazing! I had some pain in my front tooth but I was uncertain about being seen because of Covid-19. However, once I made it to her office, I realized my anxiety was unfounded. Dr. Handa is completely dedicated to providing quality care and preventing the spread of this pandemic. Everyone in her office was wearing state of the art PPE, they change their scrubs between patients, and everything was very clean. I was very impressed with how they handled themselves while I was there. Not to mention the work they did was excellent! I’m feeling much better and it looks great. I can’t say enough how great Dr. Handa and her staff are. They’re compassionate and dedicated to doing great work. This is the place to be!

I had a great experience with Dr. Handa. My whole family has been seeing her for 2+ years, and I am very happy with her skills, and approach. She and her caring staff have encouraged me to strengthen good dental habits. Moreover, her approach has included establishing a non-judgmental rapport that includes listening to the challenges I have faced in keeping up good dental habits over the years; Dr. Handa offers practical suggestions and inspires me through her own commitment to excellence, and dedication to her clients and career. I would recommend her to my friends and family, in fact I already have !!

I highly recommend Dr. Handa. From the very first visit at the office, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable both by the friendly competence of the staff and the pleasant environment of the office itself. Dr. Handa inspires confidence. I was impressed with her wealth of knowledge, skill, and professionalism. Not to mention the time she takes to explain every detail without rushing, and she is always happy to answer any question we have. Always making sure we are comfortable during the treatment offering us the amazing warm face towel to relax our muscle....unbelievable... Very happy with the results. Highest recommendation to Dr. Handa.Andrea Clericuzio

Wow...what an amazing experience! I have had a lot of dental work over the years leaving me very apprehensive to have anymore done. When I met Dr. Handa, she reassured me that she would not do anything I did not want to do. She was very caring, compassionate and took the time to explain everything. Dr. Handa and her staff treat you like gold. I was so impressed that I went home and told my husband that it was the best experience ever. They really try to make you feel comfortable and they really care! I would definitely go back.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Handa for years. I always appreciate her honesty, integrity, & her efforts to make the dental chair as comfortable as possible. My adolescent son, who suffers from dental anxiety, now goes to her. Prior to his first appointment, Dr. Handa took the time to talk to him about his fears and made suggestions as to how they could address them together.

Review №25

I have had difficulty getting numb all my life and going to the dentist has often been difficult. What has in the past added to my anxiety, is also the frustration of the dentist who insisted that I was numb, when I clearly wasnt and felt every ounce of the drill! I have finally met a dentist, who actually cares about me and how I feel. Dr. Handa put me at ease right away and thanks to her patiently working with me, and thoroughly understanding what my mouth needs, I have been able to have comfortable experiences getting my dental treatment done. It took some time, but I finally got numb and was able to keep my teeth as well as address a fear!

Its a rare find, when you find a health care professional, who wants to create a transformitive and healing experience for you. One that transcends the typical and traditional approach to dentistry. I needed significant work in my mouth, and had shied away from dentists for the last 20 years based on on my previous experiences of being judged and shamed. At every step of the way on this journey, I have felt supported by Dr.Handa and her team. Her thoughtful consideration of the person behind the teeth, along with her attention to detail and warm and caring personality, has made this difficult journey a rewarding one, on many levels.

Dr. Handa takes a genuine interest in the welfare of her patients. This morning she called me personally to discuss the implications of a troubling anomaly that she noticed on a recent x-ray, and she laid out the options for interim care until we can collectively decide on the best permanent course of action.

If youre looking for a ho-hum regular dentist, dont look here - this office is exceptional! I just moved to Acton in July and became a patient here in October, and have been continually impressed with their top-notch service. Every single person is kind, caring, and knowledgeable - I didnt know a dentists office could be so warm and inviting. I thought all dentists offices were the same - I was wrong! This one is different and better than all the rest. 5 stars!

I now have a beautiful smile. I enjoy seeing Dr Handa, she has gotten me over a difficult time with dentistry and now I enjoy how I look and going in to see her and her staff for periodic check ups. Thank you for all you do! I love my mouth guard, I thought I was going to hate it. Now, my jaw doesnt hurt. I have less headaches and shoulder aches.

I have been a patient of Dr. Handa’s for many years for these reasons: her professionalism, skill, high standards, integrity, and keeping current with advances in dentistry. That goes for her staff as well. In addition, she is a good listener and “explainer”. I highly recommend her!

I recently had my first visit with Dr.Ratti Handa in her Acton office and had the most wonderful experience. I spent over five years away from any dentist due to bad experiences and fear. I was extremely nervous to go see a new dentist but I was over due for a visit. I made an appointment at Dr.Handas office. Everyone in the office is so friendly and informative they made me feel comfortable. They sat down with me to discuss my dental plan. Once I booked my first appointment with them my out look on dentistry has completely changed. During my visit Dr.Handa and her staff took every step to calm me down and make me feel comfortable. Dr.Handas practice is truly amazing and her staff is great. I would highly recommend them for any dental needs that you may have.

If youre ever afraid of dentists then this is the place to go. Dr. Handa and her staff will make you very comfortable before they start to work on you. (Ask for warm compresses and throws for longer procedures!) My mouth has needed undefined help for years and Ive never been able to get to the stage where maintenance will be enough, always playing catch up and repair, until I started seeing Dr. Handa and her incredible hygienist. The symptoms of discomfort in my mouth have become less severe thanks to Laura. She did research on her own time, to help me find natural remedies/relief. For me, this service is priceless. I couldnt recommend them with more sincerity.

Ratti Handa offers the best dental care Ive ever received, hands down. Im a college student out of state and a resident of Acton, and I even look forward to going to the dentist when I am home. Her whole team is awesome- very personable, careful and dedicated. Its clear that patient care and creating a relaxing atmosphere is one of Ratti Handas top priorities. I can choose my own pandora station to listen to with noise-canceling headphones available so I almost forget Im in the chair. As someone who used to dread going to the dentist, I cant recommend Rattis office highly enough. My whole family benefits from their care.
