Dr. Minges and her staff are nothing but the best in Greenville. They are personable, professional, friendly and most importantly extremely good at what they do. I highly recommend. Happy patient!

Dr. Shannon Minges has been my dentist for the past two years. My husband has been a patient of her and Dr. Chelsea Marcuard’s office, Smiles by Shaw, for the past 34 years. > > In March, Dr. Minges did a crown for me on a dental implant. The implant was necessary due to an injury and was placed by a local periodontist, only because Smiles by Shaw, at that time, did not do implants. > > When Dr.

Minges attempted to place the crown on the abutment—she found that the abutment had been placed incorrectly by the periodontist—which made the crown not “seat” properly. Dr. Minges meticulous dental care required my returning to the periodontist which resulted in an abutment replacement. > > Not only did Dr. Minges personally write a letter for me to take with me to the periodontist—Megan, one of her “awesome” patient coordinators, called the periodontist office and relayed exactly what needed to be done. > > Dr. Minges’ dental expertise saved me from the possibility of future issues with the crown placement and implant. Thank you, Dr.

Minges! > > I’m very happy to know that Drs. Minges and Marcuard are, now, doing Dental Implants in their office—Smiles by Shaw. Hopefully, I will not need another one—if I do, it will be done by “Smiles by Shaw”! > > I’ve received dental care from many civilian and military dentists over the years, some good and some not so good. The “Smiles by Shaw” team—Dr. Minges, Kaitlin, Megan, Tori, Angie, and Jamie are only a few of them—provides outstanding care from the moment you walk into their office, receive “necessary” services, and insurance filing. > > Smiles by Shaw is — “The Best of The Best” in dental care!
