I like many dread going to the dentist, but Dr. Shimara and his staff make it so easy. I've had multiple procedures here and each time the procedures have been virtually painless and easy. In addition to the ease of the procedures, you can tell Dr. Shimara is meticulous at what he does and the esthetic results are amazing. I found this place when I was in a pinch, but I will continue to go here because of the comfortable atmosphere they provide and the great results.

My parents were in need of some dental work and were unsatified with the way they had been treated at their previous dentist. A close friend of mine recommended Dr. Shmara. Even though my parents live over 25 miles away I scheduled an appointment for them based off of that recommendation. I am so glad I did. My mom and dad came home completely satisfied. They said Dr. Shmara was very professional, that his staff was very friendly, and that the facilities were up to date and clean. He outlined all of the work that my parents needed and how much it would cost ahead of time. He answered all of their questions. Most importantly he made them feel welcome. For me these are all very important qualities when doing business with someone. My parents will be going back despite the distance. If you live in the area or are willing to take a drive, Dr. Shmara's office is the place to go!

I felt so much pain in my tooth. I was fearing the worst. I needed a root canal and Dr. Shmara did it. He was gentle, kind, and made the procedure painless. He changed my mind about being afraid of dentists. Thank you!

Dr. Shmara was a god send! My previous dentist did a botched job on my teeth. I was pleased with the “clean up” Dr. Shmara did! I’m happy with my bridge, and now he will do a few more crowns that need to be replaced:) the staff is amazing and the office is clean. I loved the windows that look to the outside very relaxing unlike boxed rooms with no windows.

Finally a dentist I don’t fear going to. I have an extreme amount of work to be done, but Dr Shmara explains it all very well and works out a treatment plan you are both comfortable with. Getting dental work done is never fun or enjoyable but he makes sure you are comfortable and not in pain. The entire staff is great. I am thankful for Dr Shmara & his staff!
