We love Dr. Dana Shumate – he’s the best!. Everyone in his office is great! My 8 yr old loves going to the dentist and we are welcomed like friends! Really great supportive atmosphere!
Dr. Dana Shumate started his practice so he could provide comprehensive dental care to his community. A West Virginia University School of Dentistry graduate, he pursues extensive postdoctoral studies, focusing on cosmetic, implant, and family dentistry. He has presented research across the country, receiving recognition from the Hinman Dental Society and The American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologists.
Bring your family to a practice that loves treating smiles of all ages. Make an appointment for your child to create a strong foundation of good oral health at an early age.
Reveal a confident smile by disguising dental flaws and improving your teeth’s appearance. Call for an appointment, and we’ll get started on your dream smile.
Pair your new teeth with dental implants for a stronger bite and improved jawbone strength. Schedule a consultation to see if you’re a good candidate for this procedure.
As a patient of Porters Neck Dentistry, you can expect high-quality treatments that are catered to your unique dental journey. Personalized care with a focus on relationship is at the core of our approach. We’ll get to know you and treat you as if you were a member of our family, not just another patient. Our entire team looks forward to treating the smiles of you and your loved ones, including children as young as 2. The moment you walk into our office, you’ll feel right at home. Our warm and inviting office feels cozy, not clinical.
Dr. Shumate has extensive experience and clinical training that ensures you receive optimal results. We use the latest dental technology for your benefit. From digital X-rays to 3-D technology for same-day crowns, your dentist has invested in equipment that streamlines your visits and keeps your care comfortable. Call 910-202-6576 for an appointment with your dentist in Wilmington, NC. You can also request an appointment online.
Whenever you come in as a new guest to our practice, we’re going to sit you down and we’re going to have a long conversation with you about what you want. Everybody’s different. Some people just want routine care, some people want cosmetic dentistry, and we’re going to see exactly what it is that you want and tailor your treatment plan for that.
Come check them out, come see them, introduce yourself. You’re going to appreciate the staff, you’re going to appreciate the front office and the dental assistants, but you’re really going to appreciate Dr. Shumate. He is just the best, just the best.
I love coming to this practice because I feel like a part of the family. I know everyone, they’re extremely friendly, helpful, and I truly feel like they care about myself and my needs. The quality of care here I thought was extraordinary in that he’s a modern dentist and the tools that he uses and the approach that he uses is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, frankly, and I thought the results that he gave me are fantastic and I couldn’t be happier.
The entire staff from check-in to the hygienists, every single person that I have dealt with has been personable and gotten to know me as a person and I’ve gotten to know them and it feels a little bit like going to visit friends instead of getting dental work done, which I appreciate. I do highly recommend Porter’s Neck Family Cosmetic Dentistry to my friends and family. My father still goes here as well and I recommend it to all my co-workers whenever they’re seeing dentists locally in there.
I have a couple of friends that are looking to get some cosmetic work, some crowns done to their teeth, and I recommend them as well.
Yes! We welcome patients with or without dental insurance. If you don’t have insurance, you can join our Membership Club. For a low monthly fee, you’ll get coverage on your cleanings and exams. Plus, you’ll enjoy discounts on other services. We have options for children, adults, and patients vulnerable to gum disease.
Absolutely. We encourage you to make an appointment if you are dealing with any dental discomfort, damage, or tooth loss. Our team will try to see you on the same day whenever possible. Our goal is to get you out of pain first, then restore the health and function of your smile.
Children as young as 2 years old are welcome at our practice. That sounds young, but the earlier you start prioritizing your child’s dental health, the better. Dr. Shumate can monitor their development and give you personalized tips as your child grows up. Your little one can also avoid orthodontic problems, thanks to our preventive solutions.
