I'm so happy to have had the pleasure of going to Wilmington holistic dentistry! Dr. Shireman and Tabitha were so kind and compassionate to me. I had a lot of mercury fillings that needed to be removed and they did them no problem. I have a lot of anxiety and they were the first dentist office to make me feel at ease and cared for. I would highly recommend them to everyone, I only wish I had found them sooner!

Dr. Shireman is great! She is very thorough and only wants the best for her patients. Having a holistic dental practice here is a major asset to the community. She helps you address what the underlying cause of your oral complaints are and helps you correct them at the core of the issue and not just treating the symptoms. If you are looking for a personable, patient centered dentist look no further!
