Fantastic experience: I've had multiple dentists over the years, but Dr Sheppard and his crew are the best!! I highly recommend them if you're looking for a new dentist.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The dental assistant was friendly and prompt. The teeth cleaning just took half an hour. Matthew Sheppard was friendly and conversant, making my experience pleasant. The advice he gave for keeping my teeth clean is helpful.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: A great visit. Good results and nice folks.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I am impressed with the thorough exam I had regarding my permanent bridges that I have had for years. Dr. Sheppard is trying to save the one that is giving me trouble. He could have suggested I remove them and get dentures or implants. The whole office is caring and helpful. Future looks bright for my teeth.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Always a good experience at Doctor Shepard's office.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I had a chipped tooth, and got an appointment right away. The staff was sincere, happy, and provided a very relaxed atmosphere. Dr. Sheppard fixed my tooth informing me every step of the way. I didn’t even feel the sting of the numbing shot. I will definitely be looking forward to future appointments with Dr. Sheppard.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Hadn't been to the dentist in 30+ years. I was dreading going - expecting to have a mouth full of cavities or need dentures . The entire team was kind and patient: explaining the procedures and equipment to me, as well as setting up plan of care. Needed some deep cleaning and 1 cavity filled. They earned my trust. Confident they aren't doing any unnecessary work which brought me great peace. My teeth haven't looked this nice in years. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience with Dr. Sheppard. To say the least I have never had a dentist be so thorough, not only with his exam but how he explained everything to me. His hygienist Maria was very knowledgeable and very thorough. Best cleaning I had received so far. I will always recommend him and his staff to anyone who is looking for a new dental office.

Fantastic experience: I started out coming to Dr. Sheppard for a second opinion and I'm so glad I did. The work he recommended was necessary but reasonable and he gave me options. I appreciate this SO much. I've struggled with my teeth my whole life and it's disheartening to always feel like I'm failing to keep them healthy despite my best efforts. Dr. Sheppard made me feel heard and was so good at explaining his recommendations and timeline and worked with me within my insurance and budget constraints. My second appt was fillings and the process was painless. My teeth already look so much better. I HIGHLY recommend!
Thank you!

Fantastic experience: We went to many dentists before choosing Dr. Sheppard. Dr. Sheppard is absolutely amazing! He is our family dentist, hands down the best experience we have had at a dentist for both adults and children. He makes sure patients are comfortable and goes over all options available. He works well with patients that have dental anxiety. He called the night of my young sons dental procedure to make sure he was feeling well and to see if we had questions. I highly recommend!

Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Sheppard has been providing me with superior dental care for over 25 years. He is absolutely the best.
Thank you!
Negative experience: Dr Sheppard has absolutely lost my respect... I made an apt and was unfortunately unable to make it so I called and left a message to reschedule. By the time I guess they decided to check there messages (a week later) they already put me down as a no show. I never got a call back so I called them. The lady at the front told me she had to talk to the doctor to see if she could even reschedule me and I was very confused and about 20 minutes later, I get a text saying to call her back to reschedule the appointment. It took me a couple days to call back because i have a life so about 3 or 4 days later, I get a letter in the mail releasing me as a patient.... WHAT??? This office is so confusing it takes them weeks to call you back and I are very unprofessional. What doctor shepherd did to me and my family is horrible and inexcusable. He treated me like I did something wrong when I absolutely did not.. So I would suggest if he is your dentist, do not miss any appointments at all, because he will release you like your piece of trash.....
Fantastic experience: Everyone is so professional and kind. Not only do they take great care of me, both my kids actually enjoy going to the dentist because of the way they are treated here! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: All the staff at Dr. Mark Sheppard's office are very nice. Big thank you's to Tiffany, Melinda and to the dental hygienist. We have been to many different dentists across the states as we have moved quite a few times. Dr. Mark Sheppard has helped us with our daughters teeth more than all the other dentists put together.

Thank you, Dr. Sheppard and thank you to the office team.

Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I am not a patient of Dr. Shepherd, as my son is a dentist and I get my dental work done in Seattle. But I’ve known Dr. Shepherd for a long time and consider him a friend. I had a Cap cone off of my front tooth. Totally unexpected and I was unable to get to Seattle to get it. Repaired at my regular dentist. I called Dr. Shepherd’s office, Tiffany, the receptionist, was extremely nice and extremely helpful and extremely kind. Dr. Shepherd, not only agreed to recement the tooth where I had lost the cap, but they made an appointment for me within two hours. Dr. Shepard did a wonderful job of repairing the cap that had come off of my tooth. He was pain-free, and made it very pleasant experience, explaining every step as he went along. Thank you Dr. Shepherd and your staff for the kindness that was shown to me yesterday. It was very much appreciated. Marilyn Stonebraker

Fantastic experience: I am from out of town, broke an inlay on my tooth and was in a lot of pain from my tooth cutting my tongue and cheek. I called 4 dentist offices in Lewiston and while nobody had an opening, they were the only ones that worked hard to help me. I could tell things were very busy, but Tiffany spoke with Dr. Sheppard and they squeezed me that afternoon. It was very impressive how empathetic they were of the situation and how hard they worked to take care of me. They were highly personal and professional and didn’t over charge me. Bottom line, if you’re looking for a dentist, this is the type of team and dentist you want.
Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful that I discovered Dr. Sheppard DDS and his staff. They are very professional and welcoming! I feel very comfortable and safe with his dentistry practice.

Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Because of bad experiences for years I put off seeing a dentist as long as I could. Told them I really don't want to be here. Gave a quick run down of past problems , like drilling a hole through my gum. The staff and Dr. set me at ease . At the follow up I did not have white knuckles! If ya need a dentist give them a call.
Thank you!
