What Our Patients Say

“I can't say enough good things. I was out of town and leaving again in a day on a business trip. Stepped off the plane and went straight to Dr. Shutt. Had a bone spur removed from my jaw and feel 100%. Same day I called. So grateful because I was miserable.”

Emergency Care

“Dr. Shutt and his assistant Elizabeth are kind, caring and thorough as my procedures are being completed. Elizabeth's calming nature truly helped through my three hours in the dental chair. Dr. Shutt has transformed my smile and that of my husband's for which we are truly grateful. The office staff always presents an upbeat friendly welcoming feeling which is a wonderful addition to the overall office atmosphere. If you are looking for a dentist you can't go wrong with this practice.”

Smile Transformation

“Forever grateful that Dr. Shutt, his assistant Elizabeth and his staff have been my dentist for over 30 years. I had a terrible fall chipping my 2 front teeth and dislodging one of them — my first call was to Dr. Shutt's office. They had me in a chair within an hour. He numbed my mouth, moved my tooth, made a splint for my 4 front teeth, and checked my bite — all on day 1. On day 2 he went to work rebuilding my chipped teeth exactly as they were before. He worked for hours while still seeing his regular patients, but always made me feel like the most important patient in the office. Many thanks to Dr. Shutt, Elizabeth, Michelle and staff.”
