Thomas J Magnani, DDS

I have been going to Dr. Magnani for 15 years. He is not only the best in the business, but has built a practice of excellent, caring and capable staff.

I have been getting my teeth cleaned by Ivy for the past 11 years and she is by far the best. Trust me, the cleaning won’t be easy (for you), but she does an incredible job and obviously cares about her patients and the work she does for them. You never feel rushed during her appointments and she tells you exactly what she’s doing as she’s doing it, which is great. She also gives great tips on things to do at home to make your teeth and gums healthier. She has a great sense of humor and doesn’t make you feel too guilty for not flossing.
I cannot recommend Ivy enough. She also works with Dr. Magnani who is a great dentist, constantly telling me to follow Ivy’s advice so I don’t waste money on him having cavities filled, etc. Great to go to a dentist that tells you to do what you can to avoid paying him. Dr. Spizuoco, a dentist who works with Dr. Magnani, is also a great dentist.
Side note: Don’t be discouraged by a long waiting list to see Ivy. She has the long list for a reason.

My kids have been going for a couple of years and their teeth are fine. My gripe is that when I was there waiting and watching, Magnani initiated a political discussion with me. Perhaps if our politics were the same, it would not have made an impression. But they weren’t and I don’t think the doctor’s office is a place to discuss politics.

Love this office! The team is amazing. Ivy is the world’s best hygienist. After a 10 year phobia of dentists I no longer dread getting my teeth cleaned. The only reason I left — I moved to California. They are all amazing. And terrific location.

Business is run very professionally. Receptionists were nice.
However, the doctors made a lot of assumptions about my dental history and recommendations that were untrue or presumptuous. Not very thorough either.
I’ll go back, but only for convenience (right by the office…)

Good dentist and dental hygenist. The office is clean and very easy to get to.

A few months ago, I broke one of my front teeth on a Friday night playing ball at the gym. I called about five dentists for emergencies that night with no luck. Most of them said as long as it’s not painful (it wasn’t) that I should contact them on Monday and throw away the other part of the tooth («it’s useless, we’ll just fill it with bonding»).
Then I was recommended to Dr. Magnani. Dr. Magnani made a special visit at 7am on Saturday morning. He wasted no time getting to work and even bonded the ORIGINAL piece of tooth back on. He cut me a deal on the price and I ended up paying only ~$ 150 out of pocket (other places would’ve cost me $ 250+).
I now go to him for cleaning as well and as everyone else posting here on Unilocal already mentioned, they are very thorough and efficient. Their cleaning comes in three steps, which I don’t even fully understand but I know that they definitely do things (like the stain blasting?) that no other dentist I’ve ever had does.

Dr. Magnani and his entire team of professionals are without question THE BEST DENTAL TEAM out there. Dr. Magnani is a perfectionist, and more knowledgeable than any dentist I have ever seen. He is also trustworthy and honest. Ivy is my dental hygienist, and because of her I’m sure I will always have all of my own, pearly white teeth! I can’t say enough positive things about ALL of the people in Dr. Magnani’s office, but I can tell you many of my friends and family went to see Dr. Magnani and Ivy because of my constant rave reviews, and they are all now permanent patients in his office.

Ivy is the best. Such an intense tooth cleaning. The pain is worth it, and the pain is additionally muted while she talks about her salad days of seeing Bön Jovi. It’s rare that you have a blast having your teeth picked at, but Ivy brings it.
That being said, I think they’re trying to talk me into getting a nightguard for grinding, but are kind of honest with me about the fact that it’s my fault for being so stressed out. They’re accomodating and did I mention the first time I went here I was in the waiting room for forty-​five minutes with LIZA MINELLI? That, my friends, means five stars can never be revoked.

Ivy is great, as is Dr. Magnani. I’ve been going there for years and love them.

Try to book a cleaning with Ivy if you can — the waiting list is super long but you’ll have your teeth cleaned like never before. I’m overdue for an appointment (afraid to show up because I haven’t been flossing regularly!), but Dr. Magnani has done extensive work on my mouth and he was fantastic every step of the way. I wouldn’t trust my teeth to anyone else. His new office on 51^st is way nicer than the previous one on Madison. Expensive, but your teeth are totally worth it.

Every hygenist who’s cleaned my teeth (Joannie, Margaret) does a thorough, excellent job. I just went this morning, and Margaret managed to remove all tea stains I had from my 7-​cup a day habit. Dr. Magnani is a little boisterous and can probably make introverts nervous, but you probably won’t interact with him much, if at all since he now has an associate who’s very low-​ley and nice. There are flat screen TVs everywhere, which is nice. The downside is that Dr. Mag’s fee for service, so you can pay up to $ 240 upfront for a cleaning and have to wait a couple of months to be reimbursed by your insurance.
