Create a Stronger Foundation for Your Smile

Your oral health is influenced by many factors, including daily hygiene, professional preventive care, existing dental work, and how quickly developing concerns receive attention. Routine dental visits allow us to evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums and look for changes that may not be obvious at home. Addressing these findings when appropriate can help preserve healthy tooth structure, maintain comfortable function, and reduce the likelihood of more extensive problems later.

Visit your dentist near Bolton, VT for:

General Dentistry - Protect your teeth and gums with routine examinations, professional cleanings, diagnostic evaluations, and preventive services that help maintain oral health and identify developing concerns.
Cosmetic Dentistry - Make individualized improvements to tooth color, shape, size, symmetry, and other aesthetic details with treatments selected according to your smile goals.
Restorative Dentistry - Renew teeth weakened by cavities, fractures, wear, or structural damage with treatments designed to rebuild strength and improve everyday biting and chewing.
Orthodontics - Improve crooked, crowded, spaced, or improperly positioned teeth with personalized orthodontic treatment that gradually creates healthier dental alignment.
Dental Implants - Replace missing teeth with implant-supported restorations that provide stable support and help reestablish comfortable function and natural-looking appearance.
Dental Emergencies - Get prompt professional attention for sudden tooth pain, broken or knocked-out teeth, dental injuries, and other urgent concerns that may worsen without timely treatment.

Maintaining your smile can require different solutions at different stages of life. Preventive visits may be your primary focus for years, while changes involving damage, alignment, tooth loss, or appearance may eventually lead you to consider additional treatment. Our team will help you understand how each option relates to your dental health so you can choose care that makes sense for your circumstances and priorities.

Whether you're maintaining your oral health or looking for a solution to a specific concern, we'll provide personalized care focused on helping your smile remain healthy, functional, and comfortable for years to come.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shanard’s for over 5 years. She and her team are simply wonderful. They are extremely professional and warm in their care. Besides the entire practice being very talented they are a fun bunch. Smiles and jokes are a routine part of the treatment process. And if you are lucky you might meet Dr. Shanard’s dog Enzo who might be the best part of the treatment team. Truly wonderful people who do a fantastic and thorough job. I could not state it any more plainly, this is the best dental practice in Vermont.

I was able to get an emergency appointment & I was very happy! Everyone was so kind & helpful. My mouth is very small, and Dr Lauren Shanard was able to keep my jaw muscles comfortable during the lengthy procedure! Kudos to the crew & another stellar dental appointment at Contemporary Dental...

This is coming from a HUGE dentist-phobe. To say I get nervous going into a dentist's office, is gigantic understatement. That being said, I had the absolute wonderful fortune to find Dr. Lauren Shanard when I was facing a huge dental crisis. Terrified, I made an appointment...and in I crawled. From the first minute, the staff at Contemporary Dental Arts gently pulled me off the ceiling, and with the utmost compassion and understanding of my high anxiety, Dr Shanard helped me through my initial tough situation. EVERY person in that office, went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and felt safe. As Dr Shanard worked on me, it was clearly evident that she is a highly skilled dentist who pays attention to detail, to make sure the outcome is the very best it can be. Also clear, is that she enjoys her team, and what she does. I am not finished with my oral challenges, but I am BEYOND GRATEFUL that I have Dr. Shannard at the helm, along with all the wonderful women who have been at my side (and hers). I will go nowhere else. Fives stars just aren't enough.

I’ve been visiting the Contemporary Dental Arts and Dr. Shanard since I was a little kid. They have always been so nice and kind throughout every cleaning and filling, and there’s a super friendly and cute dog to greet you!

Tyler E.

Great people, very knowledgeable. They had answers to all my questions about how everything is handled and how much things cost. Staff is very nice and they try hard to get everything done right.

I've been here on multiple occasions. Marie and Dr. Shanard are really great to work with. Marie also always goes above and beyond with communication and accommodating my timeline. To say their quality of work is excellent is an understatement. Thanks!

Peter S.

The difference at Contemporary Dental is that they are a family of very good caring people. You are welcomed from the first moment you arrive with a comprehensive visit. My hygentist is very thorough... my teeth are sparkling after a cleaning. They don't rush you through the visit and are...

OK so I was TERRIFIED for my first filling. I’d gone 29 years with zero oral problems and despite my bone-deep horror, I went in for a filling today with Dr. Shanard. WOW was that easy. I didn’t feel the needle or anything she was doing, and Marie held my hand the entire time. I wasn’t afraid at all after we got started. Five stars for the whole team! I won’t go anywhere else! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nancy P.

I was at the beginning of a month long road trip and broke part of a molar. I called over 30 dentists in 2 towns and no one could see me. Even though they were busy, this practice made room for me to come in, and within 30 minutes they fixed my tooth so that I could continue my trip. They were so nice, professional and competent that I wish they were my permanent dental practice. I thank them so much for helping me in my hour of need. They deserve a higher rating than 5 stars!
