Your Trusted General Dentist
At Shoreline Dental Studio we pride ourselves on offering a wide array of general dental services to provide our patients a comprehensive and convenient experience.
Your general dentist will do an annual three-dimensional Digital Dental Health Scan for every patient in conjunction with the X-rays that allow our team and doctors to provide a technologically-advanced examination of the patient’s mouth. In addition to being a great diagnostic tool, these scans allow us to evaluate any changes that may have taken place in the patient’s mouth since their last dental consultation, allowing us to address any potential issues at an early stage, prevent patients from spending more on costly dental services, and keep them out of dental pain when possible.

Your experience matters. Explore our patients’ testimonials and see why we’re their first choice in dental care.
“Best dental experience ever! Everyone is so sweet, caring and incredibly knowledgeable and confident. I was super nervous about going to dentist after not having gone for awhile but as soon as stepped into the studio I felt like I was in good, loving hands and had nothing to worry about! Everyone is so great about creating a calm and friendly experience:) Dr. Livingston is the best!”
Becca B
“It’s a friendly, welcoming and stress free environment. From the candle in the reception area to the windows in the treatment rooms looking out on a garden, it feels very non-dentist like, which is actually a good thing. They addressed the issue I had come in for and didn’t try to upsell me on other unnecessary treatments. I actually found a dentist’s office that I like!”
