Our Team Prioritizes Your Dental Care Needs

Every patient who comes through our doors has a unique smile and specific dental care goals. Dr. Shumate understands that. That's why he makes sure to get to know you personally. This helps him make recommendations and create custom treatment plans for you.

Here are other ways we ensure you'll have a great experience at our office:

  • Comfortable Appointments - We will numb your mouth so you don't feel a thing. However, sedation is also available to reduce your anxiety. Laughing gas will put you at ease and IV sedation will give you the deepest calm.
  • Advanced Technology - You'll experience the latest in dental technology. Digital X-rays and 3-D scanners quickly and easily capture images of your mouth. Dr. Shumate uses this information to identify what's needed to improve and restore your smile.
  • Friendly Team - Our team members love seeing you and your family. We are excited to help you achieve your smile goals. Our warm and inviting atmosphere adds to your overall positive experience.
  • Wide Range of Treatments - You and your family, including children as young as 2, will find dental care for almost every smile need. From comprehensive preventive solutions to smile reconstructions with dental implants, we'll help you meet your goals for your oral health and function.

Dr Shumate recently capped 2 of my front teeth. He did a beautiful job with them and went over and above what others dentists have done. I am so very happy with them!! His staff is kind and warm and caring. My husband and I have been going to him for several years and we highly recommend him.

Dr. Lauren is an excellent addition to Porter’s Neck Dentistry. I had a very nervous teen getting her first cavity filled. Dr. Lauren took time to answer every one of her questions seriously and reassuringly. She worked quick! My daughter left smiling and feeling confident!

This office was wonderful. Staff was friendly and patient with a very nervous daughter. They took the time to explain every procedure and the treatment plan for the future. Dr. Shumate made my daughter feel at ease with his engaging manner. Thank you!

He is very professional and friendly. You can tell he is a person that really cares about his patients and that goes a long way. I would recommend family friends and anyone that's looking for a good experience with dental care.

If you’re looking for a dentist, this is the place to go! I waited years to get much needed work done because of allergic reactions at a prior dentist. I also had HIGH anxiety. The entire office is very caring, patient and managed my treatment unconventionally, to consider my allergies and anxiety. This is the ONLY dentist I’ll go to.
