If fear or anxiety has kept you from getting the dental care you need, oral conscious sedation can help you relax.

At Shore Dental Care, we believe great dentistry starts with compassion. Our gentle approach allows you to feel calm and at ease throughout your appointment while remaining safely awake and responsive.

We understand that every patient’s comfort level is different. That’s why our team takes the time to listen, explain every step, and create an experience that feels personalized to you.

I had to fly to Florida unexpectedly to be with my mother, who was hospitalized after suffering a major heart attack. During an already stressful time, I experienced a dental emergency and was incredibly fortunate to get an appointment right away. The doctor and staff went above and beyond, even staying past closing to make sure my dental emergency was taken care of. I am so grateful for their kindness, compassion, and dedication. Thank you to an amazing doctor and a brilliant staff who truly care deeply about their patients! Your willingness to go the extra mile meant more to me than you know. ❤️

I’m phobic about going to the dentist, but everyone in office puts me at ease from the moment I walk in. I had a dental emergency and was worked into the schedule the next day. Dr Shore is kind, patient, and gentle. She is getting me over my fears. Best dentist I’ve ever seen.

As someone who has severe dental phobia (not sure thats a real term) I had not seen a dentist in over 2 decades after a bad experience with another dentist. Dr. Shore was recommended to me and I can say the trust place in her and her team is well founded. Dr. Shore was caring, patient and so efficient. She and her team truly care and were attentive, kind and explained everything. I had zero pain or complications. They took as much time as I needed and I can say have won me over. From the front desk (who suppirted me with even scheduling because i was so nervouss) to the dental assistant who talked me through a panic attack they are the best. If your contemplating who to go see this is your sign.

I stand by what I said before (below). Stephanie is far and away the best dentist I have ever had. This time it was the replacement of a very old crown and a small filling. She and her staff are simply marvelous! ********* Stephanie Shore is the finest dentist that has ever worked on my teeth, and that's saying something as I am 84 years old. This time, it was a crown replacement and a rebuild of a lateral incisor, where an old (and very large) composite filling had fallen out (both the work of another dentist years ago). She handled both procedures in about 2-1/2 hours, matching the tooth color and the resultant bite comfort level perfectly. I walked in with a "fang" in front, and left looking human. She is also the finest Novocain administrator I have ever known. Rarely is there any pain, either when administering or during her work afterwards. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
