Services
At Contemporary Dentistry, our first step is to listen to you. We want to hear what you have to say about your oral health. This goes beyond just describing your symptoms. We want to know how you feel, physically and emotionally. That's because we believe in holistic, patient-centered dentistry. We treat every patient as a whole person, and utilize treatment techniques and approaches that benefit your whole health, not just your dental health.
We believe a healthy mouth is the key to overall health and a good quality of life. With our preventive and general dentistry services, we can help you achieve and maintain healthy teeth for years to come. You should feel confident showing off your teeth during life's best moments. If you're unhappy with your smile, we offer a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services that can help achieve your goals.
Get a head start on your appointment with Contemporary Dentistry. You can now save time in the office by completing the forms online or downloading and completing the following forms below. These forms review your medical history (because your oral and overall health are connected), any dental concerns or anxieties you may have and dental insurance coverage.
Our dentists strongly embrace the philosophy of patient-centered care. We work hard to anticipate and respond to all our patients' needs, and that requires that we be superbly trained in the full breadth of the latest options for your dental procedures so we can offer them to you. Learn about the training and compassion of our dentists.
We understand that cost is a major concern for many of our patients. We are happy that our emphasis on holistic and minimally invasive dentistry helps keep the cost of care low for most of our patients. It is much less expensive to prevent dental problems than it is to treat them. Lifestyle changes necessary to foster good oral health may have some cost, but it's usually low and it's spread out over time.

I hate going to the dentist... But I finally found a dentist I don't dread going to. All of the staff are the friendliest, sweetest, and caring group of people. They go the extra to make you feel comfortable. I originally picked them because they offer sedation as Novocaine didn't seem to work. However, I agreed to try juat Novocaine with them. I have had 4 fillings and a tooth removed and didn't feel it.
And of course again the sweetest ppl.

I’m so grateful I found this practice! I came to Contemporary Dentistry from another practice that informed me during a dental cleaning, that I had four cavities, in either wisdom teeth or molars, three of which were under existing fillings. I was told I needed to have the wisdom teeth pulled, which is not what I had wanted. When I came to Contemporary Dentistry, Dr. Messer did a beautiful job with all of the fillings. And I do think they were quite challenging, as they were under existing fillings and quite deep. I appreciated her competence and persistence filling these hard to reach

Dr. Messer from Contemporary Dentistry in Rochester, New York is hands down The best dentist I have ever been to! She and her team intentionally take thorough steps to ensure that I am comfortable in every way at every visit. From the moment I first called the team at Contemporary Dentistry, they made me feel valued and understood.
After my initial call, they had me answer a list of questions about myself, including my dental goals, fears and concerns. During the initial in-person consultation, they asked specific questions to address any and all of my fears and concerns, and answered all of my

I have major dental anxiety after having some poor experiences as a child. This is the first time I walked into a dentists office in over a decade, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, they made me feel so at home. Dr. Messer thoroughly examined me and was gentle and kind the entire time. She told me I just needed a good cleaning and I should be good! I was so relieved. There was no shaming from any staff about me not having been to the dentist in so long, everyone was extremely understanding. I was able to come in for a cleaning the very next day and

I am a contractor by trade and I’ve suffered plenty of cuts and bruises including putting my thumb into a table saw all the way to the first knuckle Right up the middle and I calmly wrapped it and drove myself to the hospital. I have an enormous tolerance to pain, except when it comes to the dentist and the needles in the gums I turn into a big baby !!!b On Monday October 12th I went to contemporary dentistry to have a tooth pulled. I asked for gas and they explained it would make the time longer and as a self employed contractor time is valuable so I opted for no gas. It turned out that I needed

The doctors and staff at Contemporary Dentistry are professional and compassionate. They truly take the time to listen to your concerns. I have also never had more thorough (and gentle) dental exams before I began care here. The office runs like a well oiled machine. I also feel their prices are very reasonable and they have a very modern and comfortable office. I would highly recommend them!

I initially moved over to Contemporary dentistry at the recommendation of my wife. I had been going to the same dentist all my life, and only made a change because I moved much farther away from their office. Contemporary made the transition seamless and made me feel just as well cared for as I felt at my old dentist who I had a 20+ year relationship with. They have turned me on to several cleaning techniques which have drastically improved my oral health. Highly recommend!
