Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Dr. Shumaker leverages extensive experience to create personalized plans, ensuring comfort and exceptional results. The removable aligners allow for easy eating and cleaning, making them ideal for adults and teens seeking a subtle orthodontic solution.
Same-Day Crowns
Our CEREC technology enables us to design and place custom ceramic crowns in one visit. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments, saving time while delivering durable, precise restorations. Advanced CAD/CAM systems ensure optimal fit and aesthetics for long-term oral health.
Preventive Care
Regular checkups, cleanings, and screenings form the foundation of our preventive care approach. By addressing issues early, we help patients avoid complex treatments and maintain optimal oral health. Our team emphasizes education to empower patients in sustaining healthy smiles between visits.
Emergency Care
We prioritize prompt care for urgent dental issues like toothaches, broken teeth, or infections. Our team reserves time daily for emergencies, ensuring swift relief and minimizing complications. Immediate attention helps preserve oral health and prevent further damage.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services focus on improving the appearance of smiles through treatments like teeth whitening, bonding, and veneers. Tailored to individual goals, these procedures enhance aesthetics while maintaining functionality. We use high-quality materials for natural-looking, lasting results.

I have been going to Dr Shumaker for about 35 years and it's always been a great experience. The support staff has been the same the whole time except their long time hygienist retired a few years ago. For some reason I seemed to have aged but none of them have. Dr Shumaker is always on the cutting edge of dentistry.
