'To the person, this is a superb place to receive dental services. Dr. Shidara is a painless and highly skilled dentist. The assistants Craig and Briana are very capable and considerate. Andthe receptionist sets a very good tone for the entire office.'
I had two older crowns whose margins were leaking and one was developing a cavity under crown. Dr. Shidara replace 2 crowns with 2 new beautiful porcelain crowns in only 3 hours! Dr. Shidara and her team are simply terrific! Thank you for superior care.
'...Dr. Shidara herself, who 's calming voice, caring demeanor, and knowledge go a long way at making you feel relaxed, comfortable and most importantly, in good hands. My recent visit (today) was for a crown replacement. They did a great job. Absolutely no pain or discomfort. And it was all done, including the making of the new crown, in a single (albeit long) visit. I would certainly recommend Dr. Shidara to anyone.'
