The personality of a dental practice is almost always a direct extension of the personality of the dentist. With Dr. Hanschu, what you see is what you get. Everything we do starts with creating an environment in which you can feel comfortable and relax. Very few people like going to the dentist, but our team wants your experience here to be different.

We start by respecting your time. Virtually every appointment starts on-time, and we understand your time is just as valuable as ours. We fully explain your options before beginning any treatments, and we encourage you to get second opinions. Interestingly, many of our best patients have come to us when looking for a second opinion on a treatment plan offered by another dentist. They immediately feel a difference in our approach, and they welcome the opportunity to be treated in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Of course, this commitment to exceptional dental care extends to the unmatched clinical skills of our staff. Leading by example, Dr. Hanschu completes more than 75 hours per year of continuing education, and she encourages her dental assistants, dental hygienists and treatment coordinators to do the same. All of these extra hours are invested to ensure our patients receive the absolute finest care.

We welcome the opportunity to show you the difference. We look forward to having you experience first-hand how a warm and caring environment can make you smile.

While it is easy to judge a dental practice by its waiting room and artwork, it is much more difficult to evaluate the clinical abilities of dentists. There is so much that goes into the development and execution of treatment plans, and quality of care is often measured over years, not days or weeks. Accordingly, it is very important to do your homework on any dentist you are considering to care for your smile.

Fortunately, it is very easy to measure the commitment Dr. Hanschu has made to provide her patients with high-quality dental care. She started in dentistry by graduating from the prestigious University of California at San Francisco Dental School in 1982. Since then, she has been recognized by her peers as one of the top dentists in Sacramento. In addition, Dr. Hanschu has completed more than 1,000 hours of continuing education. She continues to learn from some of the finest clinicians in the world, including Dr. Frank Spear and Dr. John Kois. In addition, she is a graduate of the Pankey Institute in St. Petersburg, FL.

While making a commitment to continual learning, Dr. Hanschu also believes in helping others learn and advance. Many dentists across Northern California benefit from her dedication to advancing the standard of care available to all dental patients.
