Give Your Teeth the Care They Need to Thrive

A healthy smile isn't something you maintain only when a tooth begins to hurt. Preventive visits provide opportunities to remove buildup, evaluate your teeth and gums, and identify changes that may not yet be causing noticeable symptoms. When problems are found, appropriate treatment can help preserve healthy dental structure, improve function, and reduce the likelihood that an untreated concern will become more complicated.

Visit your dentist near Shelburne, VT for:

General Dentistry - Maintain your oral health with regular examinations, professional cleanings, diagnostic evaluations, and preventive services designed to help protect your teeth and gums.
Cosmetic Dentistry - Improve discoloration, uneven tooth shape, proportions, symmetry, and other visible concerns with treatments personalized to your desired smile improvements.
Restorative Dentistry - Renew teeth affected by cavities, cracks, excessive wear, or structural damage with solutions that rebuild strength and help you bite and chew comfortably.
Orthodontics - Address crowding, unwanted spaces, crooked teeth, and other alignment concerns with individualized orthodontic treatment that guides teeth toward healthier positions.
Dental Implants - Replace missing teeth with implant-supported restorations that create stable, functional results while helping your replacement teeth look and feel more natural.
Dental Emergencies - Find prompt care for unexpected problems such as significant toothaches, fractured or knocked-out teeth, dental injuries, and other concerns that require timely professional attention.

Your smile may require different types of support at different times, from maintaining healthy teeth to addressing a sudden injury or making a planned improvement. Having access to comprehensive dental care can make it easier to respond to these changing needs with solutions appropriate for your circumstances. We'll discuss your options clearly and help you determine a path forward based on your oral health, priorities, and treatment goals.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shanard’s for over 5 years. She and her team are simply wonderful. They are extremely professional and warm in their care. Besides the entire practice being very talented they are a fun bunch. Smiles and jokes are a routine part of the treatment process. And if you are lucky you might meet Dr. Shanard’s dog Enzo who might be the best part of the treatment team. Truly wonderful people who do a fantastic and thorough job. I could not state it any more plainly, this is the best dental practice in Vermont.

I was able to get an emergency appointment & I was very happy! Everyone was so kind & helpful. My mouth is very small, and Dr Lauren Shanard was able to keep my jaw muscles comfortable during the lengthy procedure! Kudos to the crew & another stellar dental appointment at Contemporary Dental...

This is coming from a HUGE dentist-phobe. To say I get nervous going into a dentist's office, is gigantic understatement. That being said, I had the absolute wonderful fortune to find Dr. Lauren Shanard when I was facing a huge dental crisis. Terrified, I made an appointment...and in I crawled. From the first minute, the staff at Contemporary Dental Arts gently pulled me off the ceiling, and with the utmost compassion and understanding of my high anxiety, Dr Shanard helped me through my initial tough situation. EVERY person in that office, went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and felt safe. As Dr Shanard worked on me, it was clearly evident that she is a highly skilled dentist who pays attention to detail, to make sure the outcome is the very best it can be. Also clear, is that she enjoys her team, and what she does. I am not finished with my oral challenges, but I am BEYOND GRATEFUL that I have Dr. Shannard at the helm, along with all the wonderful women who have been at my side (and hers). I will go nowhere else. Fives stars just aren't enough.

I’ve been visiting the Contemporary Dental Arts and Dr. Shanard since I was a little kid. They have always been so nice and kind throughout every cleaning and filling, and there’s a super friendly and cute dog to greet you!

Tyler E.

Great people, very knowledgeable. They had answers to all my questions about how everything is handled and how much things cost. Staff is very nice and they try hard to get everything done right.

I've been here on multiple occasions. Marie and Dr. Shanard are really great to work with. Marie also always goes above and beyond with communication and accommodating my timeline. To say their quality of work is excellent is an understatement. Thanks!

Peter S.

The difference at Contemporary Dental is that they are a family of very good caring people. You are welcomed from the first moment you arrive with a comprehensive visit. My hygentist is very thorough... my teeth are sparkling after a cleaning. They don't rush you through the visit and are...

OK so I was TERRIFIED for my first filling. I’d gone 29 years with zero oral problems and despite my bone-deep horror, I went in for a filling today with Dr. Shanard. WOW was that easy. I didn’t feel the needle or anything she was doing, and Marie held my hand the entire time. I wasn’t afraid at all after we got started. Five stars for the whole team! I won’t go anywhere else! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nancy P.

I was at the beginning of a month long road trip and broke part of a molar. I called over 30 dentists in 2 towns and no one could see me. Even though they were busy, this practice made room for me to come in, and within 30 minutes they fixed my tooth so that I could continue my trip. They were so nice, professional and competent that I wish they were my permanent dental practice. I thank them so much for helping me in my hour of need. They deserve a higher rating than 5 stars!
