I broke a tooth on Saturday night. I stopped in on Monday morning to make an appointment. They asked if I could wait so they could have someone look at it, Dr. Conte fixed it right then.
Response from the owner: Always a pleasure Andy!
West Shore Dental is AMAZING! I have been a patient for years and due to them not being in network with Delta Dental anymore I had to find a new dentist and that did not go well for me. I called West shore and they were able to get me right back in and help me. I will pay the difference just to know I am being taken care of and feel so calm. I am a super nervous person about any type of dental work and they are so good at keeping me calm and walking me through any process. Dr Conte and hygienist Mary are the absolute best. I couldn’t recommend this place more. All of the staff are fabulous and so so friendly!
Response from the owner: Thanks Keri!
5 star ++++++++++Dr. Conte and staff are clearly committed to the knowledge and comfort to clients!You’re all amazing.Thank you!
Response from the owner: Thank you Christine!
I had a 32 year old veneer that chipped. Dr Conte and his staff made a quick work to match a beautiful new veneer in place that was made right there at their office so there was no second visit. They took great care of me and the communication was wonderful as to what they were doing and how the visit was proceeding. I would highly recommend them.
Response from the owner: Thank you Lisa!
A dental practice with NASA level equipment coupled with competent and compassionate people. Thank you Kelly and Dr. Johnson. Who knew getting a crown could be a fun experience?
Response from the owner: Thank you Gianna
I had West Shore Dental Associates install two crowns on two of my back teeth on the same side. One upper and one lower tooth had cracked and broken after bitting a popcorn kernel. About half of the upper tooth was missing and a third of the lower tooth was missing. I had been putting this off for several years but finally decided to have them fixed. Dr. Johnson was the dentist who did it. He was assisted by Dave. The last time I had a crown done at a DIFFERENT dentist office, it was a lengthy procedure with multiple trips back for fittings, temporary crowns etc. It was also a bit painfull during and after the procedure. Dr. Johnson got both teeth completely done in about three hours. They got me into the chair about five min. after my scheduled appointment time and Dave the assistant prepped me for the novocaine and explained a bit about what he was doing during the prep. Dr. Johnson came in several minutes later and generally explained the process and proceeded with a quick exam to plan things out a bit. Dr. Johnson numbed me up and told me exactly what he was doing while he was doing it. When he wasn't talking to me, he and Dave were casually talking about sports or the olympics. That kind of put me at ease. When he and Dave weren't chit chatting, Dr. Johnson was singing to the music playing quietly in the background or explaining exactly what he was doing. Again, pretty relaxing and calming. During the procedure which involved quite a bit of drilling and shaping of both broken teeth, Dave seemed to know exactly what Dr. Johnson needed most of the time without being told what to do. Suction here light there etc. After the drilling was done they told me it would be about 45 min. to create the new crowns which was done right at the office. Dave offered to show me the crowns being created once the process got going and he did and he explained the process used for creating them. About 45 min. later Dr. Johnson returned and fitted the crowns adjusting a bit here and that took about 15 min maybe 20. After I got home and the novocaine wore off I expected to be in pain for several days but I really wasn't in much pain at all. I took a couple of Tylenol and that pretty much took care of it. The next day There was almost no pain just some soreness where the novocaine injections were. But the teeth felt absolutely fabulous! No more sharp edges from the two broken teeth! Absolutely the best dentist and dentist office.
Response from the owner: That is great to hear Matthew! Thanks for the kind review!
I went yesterday the whole staff is fantastic. Mary is my hygentis and as always does a great job. I was also impressed with the 3D scanner to give you a panoramic of your teeth. 5 stars all the way
Response from the owner: Thanks Paul!
Mary has been cleaning my teeth for many years at 2 office locations. She’s excellent & always does an amazing job! She’s very professional & personable! She goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and answers all my concerns.
Response from the owner: Thank you Kathleen!

Response from the owner: That is great to hear Tony! Thank you!
Mary exudes professional and friendly service. Excellent follow through to insure that you remember appointment.
Response from the owner: Thanks Ted!
New patient at West Shore. Enjoyed my experience with a professional and friendly staff & doctor-and a cool high-tech office!
Response from the owner: It was nice to meet you Adam!
Mary is the most compassionate, gentle dental hygienis person I have ever encountered. No lectures about flossing, no comments about my gums. I was traumatized as a child. I had to go to Samuel Dental Clinic because that's all my parents could afford. They were mean, painful, and had no personality. As an adult I have been to other dental offices and they clean teeth okay but the anxiety was out the roof. West Shore Dental has a mission statement about patient comfort, and although they take Delta Dental it doesn't reimburse the clinician adequately. I pay the difference because it is worth to me and my well being. Delta Dental needs to review its policies and give these clinicians adequate pay so that we as members should not have to choose quality over price.
Response from the owner: That is so great to hear! What makes your story even better is that your crown was completed in a single visit. No gooey impressions, no plastic temporary crown and no return visit!So happy for you!
Tara is amazing!! Very patient and really cares about her patients!!!
Response from the owner: Thank You Sylvia!
Mary is wonderful. Very skilled at her job, friendly, and efficient. I feel so much better after my visit.
Response from the owner: Thank you Judy!

Response from the owner: Very nice to hear! Thank you Kerri!
Beautiful, immaculate facility. Staff was so nice and friendly, and Dr. Johnson was wonderful. Everyone was very efficient and knowledgeable. It was just my first visit, but it was a great first impression.
Response from the owner: It is nice to hear we made a nice first impression. Thank you!
These people are the sweetest and most professional I have met in the dental industry, I thank you for such a great sense of service you guys have, I hope other places can learn from you. If you are looking for a dentist, come here to West Shore Dental because they will solve your situation and they will direct you in the best way. Thanks to Kelly and Dr. Johnson, they are wonderful. A big hug.
Response from the owner: That is very sweet of you to say Joan! Thank you so much!
West Shore Dental is great. Always welcoming, personal, and makes you feel comfortable. Never afraid to have a procedure done here. Tara is amazing and makes sure there is no pain. They offer multiple options to get cleaning done including the water pick. Will never change to another dentist.
Response from the owner: Thank you Ricky!
My teeth have never felt this healthy before. I’m truly satisfied with the results
Response from the owner: That is great to hear Jose! You just gave us our 800th ***** review! Thank you so very much!
West Shore Dental should be the model dental office for other dental practitioners to strive for.With the latest in dental technology being used for your oral care, Dr. Conte’s practice is also a great dental experience. I love that the office is kept meticulously clean. That takes extra efforts by the whole team and also demonstrates a sense of pride in your workplace. My dental hygienist, Mary is the best. She’s always friendly, nice to talk to all while being awesome at caring for your teeth. Dr. Conte is a refreshingly excellent dentist. He cares what’s best for your overall health and does only the work most necessary at the time. Dr. Conte won’t pressure you into getting unnecessary dental work. However, should you find yourself needing a procedure, you will be comfortable in the beautiful chairs that Dr. Conte has chosen for his patients. I always feel better after I’ve left Dr. Conte’s office, and in my opinion, that’s what makes the difference.
Response from the owner: Thanks so much Lori! You are a pleasure!
I am continually impressed with West Shore Dental Associates. The office is state of the art with Dr. Conte continually investing in the latest and most effective technologies and treatment options. Dr. Conte’s skill, knowledge, and bedside manner is unsurpassed! Likewise the dental hygienists and entire staff are skilled, and so kind and professional! It is a pleasure to go to this office and so reassuring to know my dental health is in such great hands! I highly recommend Dr. Conte and West Shore Dental Associates.
Response from the owner: Thank you Randi!
Went in for a cleaning, X-rays and annual exam. As always, my hygienist, Mary, was thorough, professional and pleasant. She explained each procedure and shared her findings during the cleaning. Dr. Johnson came in to look at the X-rays and check my teeth and gums. He, too, was professional and pleasant. With a fantastic staff, all the latest dentistry equipment, and bright, spotlessly clean rooms, I highly recommend West Shore Dental Associates.
Response from the owner: Thank you Elizabeth!
West Shore Dental is a gem! Dr. Ben is very professional and knowledgeable. The hygienists (mine is Cheri, my husband’s is Amanda) are very thorough…best cleanings we have ever received. So grateful to be a patient here!
Response from the owner: We are grateful to have you!
Have been a patient of west shore dental since i was a child. I am now 60+ yrs old and very pleased with the service and modern technology available. Just had a cap placed after a root canal and was completed in one visit rather than 2. Very professional and clean environment. Would highly recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you Deb! Always a pleasure!
Amber was very thorough with her examination and did an excellent job
Response from the owner: That is great to hear Arlene!
I had to start looking for a new dentist because my guy is retiring...so I went on goggle and came across West Shore and there reviews were outstanding so I made a appt to see for myself and its exactly how they say!! Great workers, great doctors, and very clean! I believe I found my new place so far very happy
Response from the owner: Thank you so much! Glad we met your expectations!
Mary's great!
Response from the owner: Thank you Sharon! We are lucky to have her!
Greeted upon arrival by very friendly staff. Dental technician Kelly introduced herself and showed me different areas of the facility before going into the room. She explained all procedures fully. I came in for a consultation and thankfully combined my next appointment into this appt. Dr. Ben was friendly, went through my x-rays with me and explained the entire procedure. I highly recommend this dental practice.
Response from the owner: Thank you for that! We are glad you had a positive experience!
It was a great experience all around. The people are great and Dr. Conte is fabulous. Does good work and is a very nice person .
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Davida!
Great service and very professional.
Response from the owner: Thank you Erica!
I had a crown separate from a tooth on Monday evening. West Shore was able to schedule me in for a morning appt on short notice. I went there, the cap only needed to be reapplied and I was out of there within 30 minutes. The team there made me a priority and it was painless.
Response from the owner: Awesome! Thanks!
Simply the Best❣️Always a pleasure 😊
Response from the owner: Thank you Sandy. It is always a pleasure!
I've been coming to West Shore Dental since childhood and have always had a good experience. Staff, hygienists, and Dr. Have been very knowledgeable and compassionate, even when I haven't been flossing as much as I should.

Exceptional at every level. I am a health care professional and this practice is tip top. Dr Conte is phenomenal and the science and technology is updated it seems regularly. Mary is the best hygienist I have ever had. I am certain the other hygienists are also excellent, as the entire staff is locked in. I have referred many family and friends to this practice.
Response from the owner: Thank you Dr. Hoffman!
My family and I have been going to this office for many, many years. The dentist, hygienist and office staff are very caring, friendly and accommodating. My family and I see Mary (hygienist) and we absolutely love her! Tracy and Maureen work on the administrative side and are wonderful. They make you feel like family. I walk in with a smile and leave with a smile. The upgrades to the office are beautiful and calming while you wait for your appointment. Their hours and location is also a plus.
Response from the owner: Thank you Jackie! It is always a pleasure to see you and your family!
New patient at West Shore Dental Associates and could not be happier with the decision. Dr Ben and his team have taken great care of me! As someone who put off regular dental visits for quite some time I was hesitant and nervous to get that 1st visit out of the way. No need to worry with West Shore Dental! They made me feel incredibly comfortable the entire time. The staff took great care in explaining their process while cleaning my teeth AND was super helpful working with my insurance company. They truly took care of me. Very happy to be a patient here and highly recommend the same to anyone else!
Response from the owner: Thank you Kevin! Glad we met and exceeded your expectations!
