He combines his experience with a passion for continued education, and he prides himself on keeping up to date with the latest techniques and technology in his field. His goal is always to build personal relationships with his patients and help them enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles.<\/p>\n<p>Many of Dr. Stokes\u2019 patients have been with him since childhood. He has had the privilege of watching them grow up, get married, and even have children of their own. They continue to rely on him as their family dentist because they know they can expect to get high-quality, compassionate care whenever they step into our office.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Services<\/h2>\n<p>We offer all the basic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shannonstokesdds.com\/services.html\">services<\/a> you would expect from a family dentist, but Dr. Stokes has a special focus on a few specific areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As your cosmetic dentist, Dr. Stokes understands that many people want their smile to be both healthy <em>and <\/em>beautiful. In line with that, he offers teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and crown lengthening to help you love what you see in the mirror.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re an adult with crooked teeth, probably the last thing you want is to let an orthodontist encase your teeth in ugly traditional braces. Dr. Stokes has undergone extensive training to master the Six Month Smiles technique, which uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to realign teeth. Plus, the average treatment time is only six months!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restorative dentistry.<\/strong> If your smile is suffering because of missing teeth, an infection, or gum disease, Dr. Stokes would be happy to help you. With his training in periodontics, endodontics, and implants, he will pull out all the stops to help you regain your oral health and your confidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Would You Like to Learn More?<\/h2>\n<p>We could talk all day about how great we are, but why don\u2019t you come in and see for yourself?

You\u2019ll be greeted with a warm welcome, and we\u2019ll be sure to take the time to discuss all your concerns.<\/p>\n<p>When you come in to visit us, feel free to bring your kids along.
