I have been a patient at Montgomery Dental Arts since the beginning of this establishment. I have recommended them to numerous family members and friends. The personal connection they have with their patients is remarkable. Not only do they try to connect with you, but their service is very professional, educational about dental care, and updated on the latest technology and advancements to provide great service. I will continue to recommend and support Dr. Shamburgers’ family-oriented establishment.
My crown was loose and I was in pain since Tuesday night. I called on Wednesday and clinic is normally closed. Before 8 am, a Staff member called to check on me. She made me an appointment immediately. I was taken care of and happy I was not longer in pain. Thank you all at Montgomery Dental Art for taking care of me. You all are the best, from the front door to the Dentist.
I had such a great experience at Dental Arts! From the moment I walked in, the two ladies at the front desk were so kind and welcoming—it really set the tone. I was honestly nervous because my back tooth was extremely sensitive and I had a crown come off, but the hygienist was AMAZING. She made me feel so comfortable and reassured me the entire time that I was in great hands—and she was absolutely right! The dentist was just as great. He didn’t rush me at all, took his time, and answered every question I had with patience and care. I truly felt heard and taken care of. They also gave me a clear plan moving forward, and I’ll definitely be back next month. I actually look forward to coming back—thank y’all so much for such a positive experience!
I am a patient at Montgomery Dental Arts. When you walk through the door you are met with friendly faces and smiles. The staff is very accommodating. Both doctors, Dr. Dominique Askew Shamburger and Dr. Carl M. Shamburger, Jr., are very informative, explaining what's going on and your options. They take their time with you, you don't feel like you're on a conveyor belt. The atmosphere is relaxing, you can program music to your taste. Also, the communication is top notch, I receive texts for appointments, updates, etc. which I really appreciate. Keep up the great work.
From the professional to the cleanliness of those office, my experience was a 10/10. Both the hygienist and doctor were personable and knowledgeable. So happy to have found this office. Feeling comfortable with the oral care and recommendations given is something to be excited about. I have not felt this safe in a while.
