We have been bringing our son here since 2022. We’ve always had a great experience! I’m impressed with their environment and treatment of young patients and the reception upon arrival. The dentists and hygienist are calm and gentle with young patients. My son has never been scared or concerned about going to their office. There is also a TV playing children’s videos while you’re in the waiting room and they also let the children pick something to watch while they’re in process.

There’s also a desk in the waiting area that Parents can use to work if they need to while they’re waiting. I’ve been greeted by Denise and Karen at the front reception area and they have always been warm and cheery. I’ll be sad the day my son is past the age to come here.

Kate did an awesome job with my daughter today! She has a very small mouth and often has a challenging time at the dentist, especially with the pictures. Kate was extra patient with her and cheered extra loud with a big smile after every picture. Grateful for a dentist and hygienist that makes her feel comfortable!

We’ve been coming to Shine since we moved to the area a few years ago, and couldn’t be happier! Thanks to the kind, friendly, and knowledgeable staff, my kids actually love going to the dentist. From the front desk staff, hygienists, and Dr. Briney, we’ve been so well taken care of.

Each time we leave feeling like everyone at Shine truly cares about us. Regular checkups and urgent appointments are always made as easy as possible for my kids and I. Thank you for everything! So happy to have found you!

We started taking both of our kids here at 3 YO and they both LOVE going to the dentist. They are so kind, patient and talk the kids through everything in a way they can understand what is going on. They get a prize going in and get to watch a show as they get their teeth cleaned.

They make it a fun and easy process for the kid and the parent! Dr. Briney and her staff are wonderful! I cannot recommend them enough!
