Services
At Dr. Shelby's office, we offer comprehensive dentistry and orthodontics for children of all ages and all walks of life. Kids love us and parents trust us because we spend the time getting to know you and your child. We take the time to explain the sometimes complex and overwhelming details of dentistry so that you can make informed decisions.
Whether you need preventive family dental care or it's time to completely makeover your smile, our office is here to help you. We have a wide variety of services to meet all your dental needs. We practice patient-centered dentistry and strongly believe that you are the most important person in our dental practice!
Digital x-rays expose patients to considerably less radiation than conventional film x-rays. Digital x-rays require almost no time for development, reducing time spent waiting in the dental chair. Digital x-rays are securely stored in your digital file and can be securely sent to your insurance company or specialists, when necessary.
We believe in dentistry for the whole family, and that includes your youngest family members. Our office begins seeing children at a young age to promote a healthy foundation for excellent dental health right from the start, and we also work with parents on techniques and education so that they have the tools to succeed when it comes to oral care for their kids.
Our goal is to prevent dental health issues in your child through best practices and quality dental services. When you are a parent, your child's well-being is a top priority, and this also includes their oral health. Like you, your child should visit the dentist every six months. Choosing a pediatric dentist for their care makes the experience the best it can be because we focus on your child's unique needs as well as their comfort.

I can not sing Dr Shelby’s praises enough. She is amazing with my high anxiety teen and my wiggling high energy little ones. She is incredibly patient and thoughtful in all of her interactions. I truly appreciate how she will literally sit down and speak with you face to face regardless if it’s going over finances or in-depth treatment options/plans for the kids. Her staff reflects her energy and warmth. Everyone is extremely thoughtful and caring. Again, I couldn’t imagine a better fit for my kids and their ortho and dental needs.

My son is on the spectrum and I was really worried about how he would do visiting the dentist. From the first call the experience was wonderful to Dr. Shelby's warm welcome in the lobby to my little guy to the full care team and truly making it a good experience for him. Thank you to your team, it really made a difference for my little one who has a serious anxiety issue with doctors and mouth.

My 4 year old had her first visit here. Dr. Shelby was able to take X-rays and polish her teeth in a small amount of time. X-rays in the past were extremely difficult to obtain and polishing was never successful.
Great staff and excellent doctor. The environment was clean, organized and professional.

There is no one else I'd trust my children with. Dr Shelby is the best around by far. The office is always immaculate, especially right now during Covid. Everyone is suited up from head to toe and you can just tell any and all precautions are being taken. They are truly going up and beyond to make sure everyone is protected. Dr takes her time, explains everything thoroughly and always makes not only the kids feel safe and loved, but also the parents. I always leave feeling like my kids are well taken care of. You will not regret your decision to bring your children here. I think the only

We've been coming to this office for several years. Today we came in for the kids 6 month cleaning. They refused to let me go back with my kids.. what??? That's a red flag for sure.. The women at the front desk told us it's a HIPA regulation that's why we can go back. Then Dr. Shelby told us a different story and said it gets too crowded in the afternoon for parents to go back.. so what's the correct story??? There's other pediatric dentists that allow this.. I will always go back with my children you can't deny that!!! I'm very worried what you do back there

Our pediatrician recommended Dr. Shelby to us and we love her! Everyone there is so sweet. My daughter is usually intimated when we first walk in, but once the hygienist gets her back she's fine. I love how calm and patient everyone is. Dr. Shelby is amazing as well. She knows how to answer any questions I have and I leave feeling prepared and taken care of. I recommend Dr. Shelby's office to anyone looking for a great pediatric dentist.

I took my 19 month old here for his first dentist appointment and it was a great experience! The office is clean, child-friendly, and very welcoming. Every single employee was so sweet to me and my son, making us both feel very comfortable. They have a cute therapy dog that the kids can hold and/or pet, which was a huge plus for us. Dr. Shelby took her time with us and was super patient in dealing with my fussy toddler. So happy we found this place and will definitely be coming back!

We love Dr Shelby! Her whole staff is great. Dental services are done quickly and the whole experience is smooth and as trauma-free as possible. She is extremely gentle and patient with kids. Especially good with my daughter who has some pretty severe special needs. I can't imagine taking her anywhere else

Both my son and my daughter have had braces with Dr. Shelby. My son's teeth are PERFECT and my daughter still has braces on and is on her way to a perfect smile. Dr. Shelby is incredibly knowledgable and is always honest. Her staff is also always friendly, helpful and all her dental assistants are equally talented. As a testament to Dr. Shelby and her staff, my kids actually LOOK FORWARD to going to the dentist. My daughter is always asking me when her next dentist appointment is and counts down the days! My daughter had a small cavity and she didn't even realize that they were

Amazing kind and caring people! My daughter had her New braces adjusted and was in a normal amount of pain, but was very uncomfortable. So I texted Dr. Shelby and she texted me a few times that night with some suggestions and even texted me the next day to check in and see how she was doing. That is A+ service in my book!

Dr Shelby has created a very welcoming dental practice, from the undersea waiting area, to the kind and receptive staff that she keeps. She even has a small dog called "Polly pocket" who is trained to sit in a little bag for kids to hold while being examined!
This was HUGE for gaining the trust of my daughter with special needs. Dr Shelby was extraordinarily patient with my daughter's difficulties hold still.
When we came in with a an emergency situation- a tooth that had been pushed back into the mouth after bonking a kid's head- everyone was very reassuring and helped calm

I don't usually do reviews, good or bad but some 'professional' practices need to be made public.
Doesn't allow parents, first red flag. Was having to pay out of pocket where I never needed to in the past with other dentist. 2nd red flag. Discovered they were an allowed dentist but not a Dentist in Delta's network which means you get less benefit amount and have to come out of pocket. They danced around that when I questioned and had to pay cash. 3rd red flag.
I left BUT our next dentist takes xrays, fills tooth and Delta wont pay because Shelby filed a claim with
