What You Can Expect:
Care begins with listening. We take time to understand your dental history, your current concerns, and what you want your smile to feel like and look like long term. Our new patient visits are one-of a kind. Our goal for you is to leave our office with a better understanding of your oral health, and clarity on all of your treatment options.
Your Plan Comes First
Your visit starts with understanding your goals, your concerns, and what matters to you. We build a plan around your preferences, budget, and schedule so nothing feels rushed or pushed.
Clear Options Without Confusion
You will walk through every option at your pace. We explain what each path looks like, what it costs, and what to expect so you can make confident decisions without feeling overwhelmed.
Comfort Driven Care
Our office is designed to feel calm and supportive from the moment you arrive. Every detail of your visit is focused on helping you feel relaxed, respected, and genuinely cared for.

Technology That Respects Your Time
We use advanced technology to streamline visits, shorten procedures, and reduce discomfort so you spend less time in the chair and more time getting back to your day.
All Under One Roof
Dr. Donohue and Dr. Shafique combined have years of experience and specialized skills. They have made it their mission to provide all types of dental procedures for you, all under one roof. We pride ourselves on being able to provide you with all of the help you need to maintain and enhance your oral health, all under one roof. In very rare situations, we may recommend a visit with one of our nearby specialists, typically for wisdom tooth extractions and special pediatric cases only.
General Dentistry
Personalized, Gentle Approach:
At your new patient visit, we build a highly customized plan with your preferences, budget and schedule in mind so that you never feel rushed or confused about your options. Our team’s goal is to create a comfortable, calming environment that uses technology to speed up procedures and minimize any discomfort. We want you to leave our office feeling cared for, not overwhelmed.
Billing and Insurance
At Summit Dental, we are proud to be unrestricted providers. Our care model allows us to focus on what matters most — your health — rather than the limitations set by insurance companies. We will gladly submit all services provided to your dental insurance as a courtesy. Your dental care should be a decision made only between you and your provider, and no one else.
