A very good dentist. I had him do a crown for me and I was super impressed with the new technology he's embraced and incorporated into his practice. Start to finish, new crown, 2 & 1/2 hours.... He's my dentist, for sure! Plus, the staff is awesome!

Best dental office in town, hands down! They saw me right away for an emergency broken crown, as my dentist is in Bozeman and there was a blizzard that day. I got lost on my way, (I'm new to town) it was a horrible morning, they talked to me on the phone until I arrived, giving me perfect directions. I was met outside with a hug by one of the many sweet ladies who work there. Dr. Shaneyfelt was also very kind. I honestly left in tears, because of how kind they all were. Such a change of pace from how everyone seems to be lately. thanks again!

Dr Shaneyfelt in this office is hired me to do photos for his staff and office. After being invoiced AND receiving the images, refused to pay the invoice and instead insisted his office manager pay it out of her own pocket. Sad that is tarnishing such a wonderful office and Dr Jagodzinski.

The staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Shaneyfelt was very careful to make my dental experience enjoyable and not painful, and he answered all my questions about the procedures he did. In the past I've had really horrible experiences with different dentists over the years, so I really recommend Dr. Shaneyfelt as an excellent, professional and skilled Dentist. Dental work is no longer a fearful experience for me.

Dr. Shaneyfelt and staff are great .I highly recommend them. They make you feel very welcomed. Dr. Shaneyfelt does not make you feel bad about your teeth and his goal is to give you a healthier mouth and a smile back on your face. They are great with people who are fearful and work to give you a calmer experience. Great dentist, great dental assistant, great hygienist, great staff. I highly recommend them.

It can be challenging to find a dentist that will meet all your dental needs. I few months back I went to Shaneyfelt Dental in Livingston MT and have continued my dental visits there. From my experience, I can say that you and your household will be in the hands of professionals who genuinely care about providing you with the best quality of care that is out there. I have been assisted both by Dr. Shaneyfelt and Dr. Jagodzinski. I was asked what was important to me regarding my dental goals, not just what needed to be done but what was important to me, which I really appreciated. They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and take the time to educate you on all possible options. I received a cleaning from Dena Hildebrandt which was the best cleaning experience I have ever received. She provided me with quality care. I have never felt more comfortable while receiving a cleaning. The whole staff is enthusiastic and fun to work with and I always look forward to seeing them when I visit.

My nine-year-old says Dr Shaneyfelt is the best dentist she's ever seen. He takes the time to explain everything. The office itself is very warm and welcoming. Staff is top notch and the hygienist is great with kids and is very thorough. All around Professionals!
