Shank Center for Dentistry

What makes your practice special when compared with others in the area?

As a practice, we are true believers that preventive care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental health care” rather than “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

What are you and your team proud of at your practice?

Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success. We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits and how we can make a difference in providing a positive, relaxing, and comfortable experience. Whether this means completing your care with sedation dentistry, or just taking a few minutes to get to know our patients and understand their concerns, our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
