I was referred here by my dentist as I had a non-painful fractured tooth, and wanted an implant. I was seen by one of the dentist. She off course prescribed the treatment plan of extraction, followed by implant..for $3,729. That is without the crown offcourse. She then went beyond what I had been sent there for, and additionally prescribed another 4 hours, at $300/hour, of dental cleaning by "her" dental hygienist.. Total cost at this point $4,929. It dawned on me that, I had not been referred to her for this issue, and more importantly, that I had just been seen by my dentist, and "his" dental hygienist, and they had not felt the need for $1,200 worth of "special" cleaning. Being in healthcare myself, I recognized what she was doing and refused the cleaning, and complained to my dentist. He encouraged me to stay with her. I did. My extraction reminded me of an old western, with the town barber pulling out a cowboys tooth, it was that bad. Finally, I had, had it with her, and her greedy office and got an Oral Surgeon on my own, who was great. I would strongly recommend against the use of this practice. If she had been a physician, and I had been a Medicare patient, I would have filed a complaint with Medicare. As dentist are mostly cash, and are not very tightly regulated, you really have to be careful.

Dr. Shearer is wonderful. I was referred to her for an implant after breaking off my front tooth. She was gentle, caring, quick and painless. Her staff was friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend her.

Highly recommend. Dr. Burton was great with my son who had to have a tooth exposed. He has great bedside manner and is gentle. We all felt very comfortable with the staff as well.
