When maintaining the health of your smile is your goal, finding the right dental office is key. Whether it’s time for a dental exam or you’re simply searching for a new dentist, you might ask, “How can I find a reputable dentist near me?” With our quality dental services and caring staff, our office is the place many patients call their dental home.
How We Aim to Provide the Best Dental Care
At our office, we’re on a mission to help every patient achieve his or her best smile. Our goal to strive to deliver the best dental care possible begins with the relaxed, welcoming environment that we create at our practice. We strive to be friendly and helpful towards everyone, answering patient questions and helping them understand the details of their treatment plan or insurance coverage. If a dental procedure is recommended, your dentist will ensure you feel safe and comfortable throughout the appointment. We know that many patients feel nervous when seeing the dentist, so we seek to alleviate your anxiety by providing a calm atmosphere.
While visiting a dentist is often essential to maintaining long-term dental health, preventive care at home also is important. Many people come to us with questions about how to create a great oral hygiene regimen, and our dentists and team members provide the information they need. As part of your customized treatment plan, your dentist will recommend oral health products and hygiene techniques that can improve your dental health. Even if you’ve avoided seeing a dentist for some time, it’s not too late to restore your dental health through quality dental care.
If you’re searching for quality dental care and a welcoming dental home, look no further than our conveniently located office. Contact us today to make an appointment, and continue reading to find reviews from our patients.
Doctor Ruffner is amazing! He really cares about his patients and about the work he does. He knows I have terrible anxiety but he still wipes the tears away when I’m having a hard time. I can’t thank him enough for all he’s done for me and my family. I really appreciate his dental hygentists too, his son is following in his footsteps. The young lady (can’t think of her name) that is working with him now is really friendly. I think the young man’s name is Brandon? He was really nice too. Kristine and the font desk staff are awesome too. We’re on a first name basis, lol And finally, Karen … Karen, you are just the epitome of awesomeness. I appreciate you because you take the time to know me and it reflects how much you care about your patients and work. You tell it like it is and that’s how it should be. Thank you, everyone! :)

Dr. Ruffner was recommended to me by my son. As a new patient, the office was able to give me an appointment within a month’s time, and sent two reminders via phone and through text in order that I did not forget my appointment. From the point of walking into their facility, I was greeted very kindly by Tonya, assisted by Richard who guided me through all x-rays and procedures, treated by Karen who was very gentle in testing, and then met with Dr. Ruffner who examined and very professionally told me step-by-step what he recommended for my dental care. Richard related back to Tonya throughout to make sure what my insurance would cover, and when checking out all follow-ups were in place. I could not have asked for an entire staff to have been any more personable or professional, and I left with a very positive feeling that my son had made a wonderful recommendation. Thank you to Dr. Ruffner and his staff for being so kind.

I am very happy with all aspects of my visits there…..from the first person I speak to when I arrive to the last one I am in contact with when I leave….except for the fact that I have to pay this person – ;) Between those times, I also feel that Dr. Shanahan “knows his stuff” and is in complete control with whatever work I need done on my teeth! Oh…I also really like Dr. Shanahan’s chairside assistant. She seems to know what Dr. needs without him having to even ask her for it!!!!! :)

Dr. Willy is awesome! My 12 year old broke the bottom half of his front teeth a couple years ago on his scooter and we had them fixed. They never looked completely natural or even. Dr. Willy took off the old (I believe a resin surface filling?) and redid them. They look amazing and you can’t tell they aren’t his real front teeth! The inside back of the teeth had always bothered my son too because it was rough when his tongue touched it. He says it’s now smooth and feels like his real teeth. My boys will only see Dr. Willy from now on!!!!
