A complicated treatment plan was explained thoroughly and patiently with ample time for questions. Dr. Maniscalco's confidence and gentleness helped put me at ease during the first procedure of several procedures, and I feel like I'm in experienced and skilled hands and on my way to fine dental health again.

Joe Maniscalco is punctual, professional, personable, confident, competent, caring, always at ease. I went to him for an implant and three crowns. He kept me fully informed throughout the process over my several visits. His planning was such that it minimized the number of visits while maximizing the progress each visit. I have to say that I love his method of injecting novocaine where he firmly grasps with one hand the lip/cheek near the gum and tugs rapidly and repeatedly while with the other hand he injects the novocaine. The net result is you can barely feel the needle! Go to Joe for your dental needs. He's great!

More about Dr. Joseph Maniscalco, DDS
Dr. Maniscalco is a Prosthodontist: a specialist in cosmetic, implant and reconstructive dentistry. He is a professional who recognizes that the personal touch is going away in this digital age — and he is determined to bring it back.
Dentists once followed a model which today is termed archaic. The new approach is to look at the problem and find the reason that caused it in the first place. Dr. Maniscalco is a strong advocate of the newer model and in presenting a comprehensive solution that ensures the condition will not happen again. It was this approach that led him to discover a pre-cancerous lesion in the mouth of one patient, most likely saving him from a serious health situation.

He's aces! Professional, personable, proficient, confident, relaxed, and very interesting. He fit me in on an emergency basis, dealt with the situation, and had me on my way in no time. Very impressed!
March 30, 2015Bill B.Verified patient
I can't say enough about my positive experience with Dr. Maniscalco so far.
He has great bedside manner in explaining everything before it's about to happen.
Once you have an appointment, they get you in right away.
At one point, he actually called me to update me on an issue with my tooth. I was surprised to have the actual dentist call me back form my message.
February 23, 2015Stephen P.Verified patient
I first saw Dr. Maniscalco after about 5 months of pain and frustration following a root canal during which time I received no real help from my treating dentist despite multiple visits and phone calls on my part. I proceeded to see a handful of other specialists after seeing Dr. Maniscalco, but he was the only one who gave me straightforward answers and an actual plan of action (plus a diagnosis of a cracked tooth and recommendation for removal, both of which proved true a couple of months later). These facts alone would have prompted to me to recommend his office to anyone; however, he truly went above and beyond when he made himself available via email while he was on vacation in Greece! It was a difficult and scary time for me and he provided invaluable remote guidance. I can't thank him enough. [As the icing on the cake, the receptionist is very friendly, personable, and calming. Plus, the sitting room is not littered with advertisements and product placement! Just a great experience overall.]

He's great with my 19 yr old son who is reluctant to visit a dentist. The receptionist was efficient & friendly and it was easy to make a convenient appointment. I couldn't be happier.

I absolutely love Dr. M and have complete confidence in him. He was kind, caring and explained everything to me in a way I could understand. I am looking forward to working with him and finally having healthy teeth again.

Great!
September 19, 2011Daniel G.Verified patient
I’ve been going to Dr Maniscalco since he first came to Arlington (and in fact I’ve been going to that office as far back as when Dr Wright owned the practice). I’ve grown very comfortable with him and like the changes he has made in the practice. To date I’ve had a number of filling replaced, a couple of crowns, and cleanings every six months. The work has been excellent… I see no need to even think about changing dentists.
I have always used a specialist for root canals (I’ve had about 6 over the years) and today I felt comfortable about letting Dr Maniscalso do the job. Well today was the day for the root canal and when I went for the appointment he didn’t like what he saw and referred me to an oral surgeon to have the tooth removed. Even the recommendation for the oral surgeon was excellent.
March 29, 2012John H.Verified patient
He was awesome! Pleasant & professional. His entire staff was very nice. He explained everything clearly and seemed very interested in achieving the best solution to my problem. I would absolutely recommend him, and am glad that he was recommended to me!
