Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens, these removable trays improve aesthetics and oral hygiene. Benefits include comfort, precision, and fewer office visits compared to traditional braces.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts fused with the jawbone. They restore function and appearance, prevent bone loss, and preserve adjacent teeth without altering them.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dentistry addresses severe issues like toothaches, broken teeth, and infections. Prompt treatment alleviates pain, prevents complications, and saves teeth. Services include pain management, restorative treatments, and re-implantation.
Family Dentistry
Family dentistry offers comprehensive care for all ages, including preventive cleanings, restorative treatments, and pediatric services. Focuses on early education, sealants, and tailored plans to maintain lifelong oral health.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening removes stains using bleaching agents for dramatic, long-lasting results. Enhances confidence with a brighter smile while ensuring safety and customization to meet individual preferences.

My visit to the dental office yesterday for my cleaning was wonderful. The front office staff are amazing! They greet you by name with smiles on their faces. They make you feel so welcome. Erin the hygienist was terrific. She spent so much time cleaning and polishing my teeth. She took the time to explain everything she was doing and made helpful suggestions. Just a great experience overall. Highly recommend this dental office!

Awesome experience throughout! I certainly felt like a valued customer, being the fact that this was my first-time visiting this location. No other words can truly explain the incredible experience that I had. I came in for my first appointment and consultation to receive Invisalign treatment, which I am content and confident in my decision to go ahead with this type of treatment. I can absolutely say, Dr. Mitchel Shields and his team are truly fantastic, patient, really take the time to listen to your concerns and I felt confident as well knowing that I had all the answers to my questions, especially

Everyone from Elaine all the way to the dentist, were incredibly helpful and I cannot thank them enough!

First class team. It starts when you first walk in and is continued throughout the whole visit. 5 years my family and I have been going regularly to Discovery Dental and every experience has been a positive one.

Discovery Dental was professional and welcoming when I went for my new patient visit. The whole staff was wonderful but I especially appreciated the support I received from Erin (dental hygienist) and Dr. Shields. I was hesitant to switch dentists, as I had gone to mine for many years, but they made the switch worth it. I recommend everyone looking for a change to try Discovery Dental.

Amazing experience from beginning to end. Receptionists were super friendly, Dr Shields was amazing and friendly, and Heather was super helpful as well. I went in to see if I could get Invisalign and they were very quick with booking the appointment and amazing customer service along with very good knowledge. I definitely would recommend. Thank you all!!
