Quotation marks

Gentle dental should be their slogan. Very caring and great listeners. Each one of my visits they have taken the time to calm my nerves and explain exactly what was being done. I can't imagine going anywhere else.

- Jonathan F

The staff are professional, knowledgeable, thorough and very friendly! They treated my husband & I with dignity and compassion, and were patient when discussing our treatment and the financials with full disclosure and no sales gimmicks. I really appreciate the payment options and their flexibility. I would recommend 10 out of 10!!!

How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?

There are several ways you can find providers in your area – from asking neighbors for their recommendations to typing “dentist near me” into Google. Before you do that, however, we recommend taking the time to really consider what you value as a patient. Are you looking for a dentist who treats patients of all ages? Are you looking for a practice that offers convenient hours? Are you looking for comforting amenities to help alleviate dental-related anxiety? Answers to questions like these will help you know when you find what you’re looking for.

If you reside in or around Pantego and are looking for a new dentist, we’d love to meet you! With our convenient appointment times, affordable payment options, and wide range of services, it’s easier than ever to keep your smile healthy too.

How Can I Find a Female Dentist?

Looking for a female dentist? If so, look no further than Dr. Shah! Before joining our team in 2014, she earned her undergraduate degree from Loyola University of Chicago and her dental doctorate from the New York University College of Dentistry. Since graduating, she has completed a general practice residency, undergone advanced training in several specialties (like pediatric dentistry and orthodontics), and earned certifications in both nitrous oxide and Level 1 oral sedation.

While her extensive training is certainly impressive, what truly sets Dr. Shah apart from the rest is her ability to help patients feel calm and at-ease in the treatment chair. She genuinely loves helping others, and you’ll see that from the moment you meet her.

What Should I Do If I Can’t Afford a Dentist?

Too often, patients avoid the dentist because they are worried about the cost of the care they’ll need. While this might seem like a way to save money, it usually has the opposite effect. To put it simply, the best thing for both your smile and your wallet is to schedule biannual dental visits and any restorative care that’s needed over the years instead of taking the “wait and see” approach.

With all of that said, we do have several financial solutions available, including dental insurance, flexible financing, and our VIP Plan. So, if you have any questions about the cost of your care (or how to make it more affordable), we encourage you to give us a call! We can provide you with further details and answer any questions you have so navigating the ins and outs of the price isn’t headache-inducing.
