Happy to Cater to Your Comfort. Going to the dentist doesn't have to be a chore. The dental experience should be pleasant, relaxing, and fulfilling - if anything, an escape from anxiety rather than a source of it. At Contemporary Dental Arts, our extraordinary team of compassionate, caring professionals is trained to put our patients at ease. We strive to create long-term relationships with our patients based on mutual trust and respect. Our team will listen closely and carefully to you and center your treatment on your specific needs and goals. From Dr. Shanard's gentle chairside manner to the oral conscious sedation we offer, our practice is founded upon the concept of providing you with a dental experience that keeps you smiling…

Welcoming. Whether you are a first-time patient or a long-time friend, we are thankful to count you among our family of patients. If you have been told by other dentists that your case is too complex, we will happily work toward finding a solution that is just right for you. If you suffer from dental anxiety or fear of being judged for your past dental habits, we want to introduce you to an entirely different class of dentistry.
