I habe been a patient at Contemporary Dental Arts for 13 yrs. I love coming here for all my dental needs: friendly, exceedingly professional care, & clean. Julie at the front desk is friendly & accommodating. Mary the Dental Hygenist is exceptionally thorough and professional— you really feel her care and her 40+ yrs of expertise shines through in her cleanings. And she’s great to be with. Dr Shannard genuinely cares about her patients, is incredibly professional, and her expertise is the reason I keep returning. More
Just returned from Dr. Shanard’s Office after having an ancient crown replaced and a cleaning done.As always I was treated with exceptional professional care by Dr. Shanard and the dental technicians working with her. My comfort and well being were always on the forefront of everyone’s mind. I would not hesitate to recommend Contemporary Dental Care for preventative and/or intervention care. More
The best dental office I have ever been in! Everyone at Contemporary Dental Arts strives to make this experience the most enjoyable and relaxing it can be. Friendly faces greet me every time and I seriously look forward to my every 6 month dental cleaning! They do an amazing job here. I would trust no one but this team with any aesthetic dental procedure or routine dental cleaning. More

I was referred by my partner who has been going for routine cleaning and cosmetic work over the past couple years, both with amazing results. I couldn't be happier that I made an appointment to have my teeth cleaned. Not only was I made aware of certain "problem areas" in my mouth for the first time ever, but my hygienist took to the time to educate me on accessible ways I can address them. I didn't come with any questions but I left with many answers. Even more, the staff was beyond friendly and everything was impeccably clean and welcoming. My only regret is that I didn't start coming sooner! More
If you are like me and my family, the most important things in a dental practice are relationships, trust, and competence. At Contemporary Dental Arts, we feel all three of these things very deeply. And, on top of all this - well - who knew you could have fun at the dentist?! They are a fun bunch of folks, for sure.Our non-traditional family is not only accepted but embraced in this office. They remember things about our lives and take genuine pleasure in hearing our updated stories. This is important because it seems to me that dental work is a pretty intimate experience so, the relationship piece is super important. And, need not we forget about the competence piece - we have never had better or more professional teeth cleanings or fillings or, dare we say, crown work done anywhere else. The work they do on our teeth is always explained to us in language we can understand. They give us choice about what we want to have done. And it doesn't hurt. I think they have pretty state of the art equipment because I had some crown work done just today and truly - no pain. They also consider the financial burden that dental care can be on a family and thoroughly check our insurance to make sure it's a good time to have the work done or not. This another place the trust comes in. There are so many things to research and know about these days - but we just want to be able to walk in, trust our health to the professionals that work there, trust we aren't going to have work done that we don't need, trust that we won't be charged a kazillion dollars for it, and be on with our busy lives. We can do that here with them. We trust them, we find them to be competent beyond competence, and the relationship piece makes going there a whole lot easier than it would be otherwise. More
After reading the review of "beware", I need to ask, What office are they talking about" and what work did they have done? My visits with Dr. Shanard and staff have been wonderful. The quality of service is outstanding and I have recommended may of my friends, co-workers and family to her. All of them are very happy and love the Dr. and Staff...as a matter of fact, one even said that it was least painful cleaning she has ever had. My teeth were stained and my front two were overlapped. Dr. Shanard has made me look like a movie star!! She is the most experienced person in her field in this area. I can't say enough good stuff about her. More
