I've been having my teeth cleaned by dental hygienists for over 50 years. Mary is by far the best hygienist I have ever had clean my teeth. She actually teaches other hygienist how to clean teeth. She is so detailed and thorough. You will definitely leave feeling your teeth are clean and well cared for. Make sure to ask for an appointment with Mary.

I habe been a patient at Contemporary Dental Arts for 13 yrs. I love coming here for all my dental needs: friendly, exceedingly professional care, & clean. Julie at the front desk is friendly & accommodating. Mary the Dental Hygenist is exceptionally thorough and professional- you really feel her care and her 40+ yrs of expertise shines through in her cleanings. And she's great to be with. Dr Shannard genuinely cares about her patients, is incredibly professional, and her expertise is the reason I keep returning.

This is a wonderful dental practice, led by Dr. Lauren Shannard. Dr. Shannard is a perfectionist both in techniques and in ability to match color and shape on crowns and repairs. The facility is up-to-date and well furnished. The team, including dental assistant Marie and hygienists, are all excellent. I highly recommend this practice.

I have been Dr. Lauren Shannard's patient for over thirty years. Her hygienist and office staff are professional, courtest, and knowledgeable. They listen to your concerns and will work with you to achieve the best outcome for your dental health. I highly recommend Contemporary Dental Arts, because for me it's a trust issue and honestly they can be quite humorous too.

Dr. Shanard has been a godsend to me as I recently relocated to Vermont and was very concerned about finding a practice commensurate with the one I had left behind. My former dentist's office assured me that Dr. Shanard's accreditation surpassed their own. I would not entrust anyone else with the care of my porcelain veneers. Her entire office staff is lovely!

I've been going here for years and absolutely love it. The staff is very friendly and treat you like family, they always make sure you are comfortable. I've had cavity fillings and a crown put in now and they made the experience smooth and easy. I moved over an hour away from the office several years ago and still drive over for my appointments because I don't want to change dentists! Highly recommend.

I originally was referred by my grandparents and came in to fix a filling that had fallen out from a past dentist. Dr Shanard ended up seeing decay in another tooth and she stayed late to fill my other cavity. I felt very cared about as a patient and immediately trusted their opinion. Not to mention, my grandparents have been going to see her for years and have only spoken highly of her practice.

I was very impressed with how professional Dr Shanard was and immediately felt at ease being in there. The office had awesome music playing and the staff created a very comfortable atmosphere. I would recommend to everyone looking for honest, friendly and helpful dental care.

This was a wonderful experience. The staff is extremely professional but very friendly. Everything is done with attention to detail and high standards. The patient educational component is also excellent. Dr. Shanard fit me in due to a dental emergency while I was on vacation. She was exceptional and I would highly recommend her! As a physician, I am very particular so this review is coming from a professional standard.
