Dr. Shannon W. Passineau, DMD

I am very,very fortunate to find such an absolute top-notch, compassionate dentist less than 10 minutes from my house.

I am so pleased to have found Dr. Passineau and her team. Truly committed to the highest quality experience for her patients.

I went for 20 years without seeing a dentist due to some pretty serious phobia, and started seeing Dr. Passineau within the last year. She and her staff are incredibly compassionate, caring and worked with me to put me fully at ease. I can't recommend them enough.

Dr. Passineau is my favorite all time dentist. She is professional, caring and frankly hilarious. She makes an otherwise unpleasant endeavor something to look forward to. If she were to close up shop and move back to the South, I would get on a plane every six months to have appointments with her. Make an appointment. You won't be disappointed.

We have moved seven times in the last 15 years, attending eight different dental offices, and seeing at least 12 dentists within those offices. Over that time I've been exposed to good dentists, not-so-good dentists, and very poor dentists who have made important judgements on both my own and my son's dental care. Dr. Passineau is by far, the most highly skilled and caring dental professional I have ever worked with. I was first recommended to see her by another orthodontic professional I trust when I was considering options for cosmetic dentistry on a front tooth that had once had a root canal and had become discolored. Other dentists had suggested major revisions (take out both front teeth and crown them to match, crown or cap the one tooth, do braces first before making alterations then crown them, etc.). When I saw her she suggested I do the most minimalist option first ("You can always do more later if needed", she said) which was also the most cost effective for me. She ended up doing a filling on my front tooth (not one out of six dentists that I had previously discussed my problem with had suggested that), and she spent careful time on making sure my tooth looked natural and beautiful. She has since fixed gaps or dental problems I've had from seeing other dentists; she has really gone above and beyond to ensure I have had a great dental experience.

As an additional fun fact- she has a minor in Art. She is a dentist who not only cares about her client's dental health and experience, but also takes the time to care about the aesthetic appearance of their teeth and smile. Many dentists claim they are cosmetic dentists, but she actually provides cosmetic quality work.

We will only go to one dentist from now on. Thank you, Dr. Passineau.
