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.

This is coming from a HUGE dentist-phobe. To say I get nervous going into a dentist's office, is gigantic understatement.

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!

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!

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... OK so I was TERRIFIED for my first filling.

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...

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!

How do I know if I need oral surgery?

You might need oral surgery if you're experiencing persistent pain that regular treatments haven't resolved. Your dentist will recommend surgical options only after examining your specific dental condition thoroughly. Many patients need surgery when dealing with painful wisdom teeth, infected or badly damaged teeth, or when preparing for dental implants. We always start with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if surgery is truly the best solution for your long-term oral health.

What should I expect during recovery from oral surgery?

Recovery varies depending on your specific procedure, but we'll guide you through every step of the healing process. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions covering pain management, dietary recommendations, and activity restrictions to promote optimal healing. Most patients experience some swelling and discomfort for the first few days, which gradually improves within a week. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns, ensuring your recovery proceeds smoothly and your results meet our high standards.

How do you manage patient comfort during surgery?

Your comfort is our top concern. We take multiple steps to ensure a relaxing experience during oral surgery. We have sedation available to help you feel relaxed throughout your treatment. Our advanced 3-D imaging technology allows for more precise surgical planning, reducing discomfort and recovery time. After surgery, we provide clear instructions and support to manage any temporary discomfort and ensure proper healing.
