Dr. Schumacher seamlessly combines old-school, one-on-one service with some of the most advanced dental technology available today. Your checkups will be completed using a small, high-powered camera and low-radiation digital X-rays. If you need treatment, he can administer local anesthetic with The Wand, which allows you to skip the uncomfortable injection. And for patients with gum disease, he can take care of it non-invasively with laser gum therapy.

From addressing oral health issues that can affect cardiological function to dental anxiety impacting your day, taking the time to understand, diagnose and treat with compassionate care is the focus.

Dr. Schumacher and his staff are tremendous! I was involved in a near death car accident where I lost 6 teeth. He had many issues to overcome yet he was amazingly able to replace them along with my self esteem and confidence. He is such a talented, professional, and compassionate dentist who goes ABOVE and BEYOND to accommodate his patients. His entire staff create a family like environment removing the stigma of fear to visit a dentist. While they provide affordable care, their QUALITY is unsurpassed! Dr. Schumacher IS A TRUE MIRACLE WORKER!

The office is beautiful and the staff are perhaps in the top 5 percent of professional, warm, and accommodating folks I've dealt with in a very long time. Dr. Schumacher is kind and answers questions patiently and thoroughly.

After our dentist of 25 years retired it was hard transitioning to the dentist who took over his practice. It was time to find the kind of dentist and staff that we had come to appreciate with our long time dentist. We have found that in Dr. Schumacher and his staff. The entire staff is very professional, knowledgeable through and caring. They make you feel as if you are the only patient in the office. While this was our first visit, we have appointments set for our next cleaning and I am happy we found our new forever dentist. I highly recommend this practice.

In a couple of office visits, Dr. Schumacher removed an old crown, replaced it with a temporary crown, and installed a new crown. He is highly skilled and proficient, and his work is superb. He also has a wonderful staff comprised of people who carry out their job functions responsibly, energetically, and effectively.
