Living with tetracycline staining for practically 40 years was a profound burden for me but, in order to free myself from that burden, I demanded that two criteria had to be filled. Firstly, technical excellence was imperative. Anything less was intolerable. I needed to believe that I was getting the care of the best practitioner in the city because I lived with teeth that made me feel humiliated and I need dental work that was on the other end of the spectrum: excellent. Not a perfect smile, but a perfectly normal smile. Secondly, continuing care was important to ensure the work was how I had envisioned it and to perform any minor modifications. This ensured that I could feel confident that I got a smile with which I was confident and physically comfortable.

At Dr. Andrew Shannon's office, I received the above and more. The results of the veneer work are fantastic. I was very much a part of the decision making process, was offered clear options and explanations and descriptions of best and worst case outcomes, and the technical work is superb. The continuing care was there in spades and will continue over the years. But more, I was treated with remarkably caring professionalism by all of the people in Dr. Shannon’s office, from the front staff to the dental assistant to Dr. Shannon, and what a difference it made! I am grateful to them all for their decency and kindness.

I wanted to thank you for the incredible smile makeover you did. My teeth look absolutely amazing! The difference is unbelievable! I used to be very self-conscious about my smile, but now I cant stop smiling! Thank you for giving me the beautiful smile I always dreamed of having.

I wanted to thank you and your staff for the excellent experience I had with regards to the replacement of one of my front teeth. A trip to your office is never the "painful" experience traditionally associated with a trip to the dentist. Everyone in the office is always pleasant and friendly and I'm always greeted by name even though I've not been a patient for very long. The television during and hot towels after the treatment go a long ways to improving patient comfort.

I couldn't be happier with the work performed on my front tooth. The extra care that involved my visiting the lab, and your extensive follow up to make sure the colour matching was perfect is much appreciated. Your taking the time to map out the colours for my "new" tooth, really made the difference. In having this type of work done, working with a perfectionist is critical and much appreciated by the patient. When I point out my new tooth to people they are amazed with how well it matches my existing teeth - in fact most people can not tell which is natural and which is a cap.

I recommend your services wholeheartedly to anyone who is looking for standard or cosmetic dentistry.

Many thanks for the years we've spent together. Since coming to your office over 13 years ago I've always found you all to be professional, timely and cheerful. Obviously I felt my teeth were always in the best hands. Now that I have taken early retirement and will not be in downtown Vancouver as often, I must reluctantly say goodbye. I wish you continued success and happiness.
