Dr. Shapiro earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the SUNY at Buffalo School of Dentistry in Buffalo, New York, and completed undergraduate studies at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. He describes his work as building relationships with patients and treating cases ranging from the simple to the most complex and challenging. Dr. Kundlas earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Temple University's Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Geneseo. She focuses on gentle, honest, and thorough care and on educating patients about dentistry and how best to care for their teeth. Dr. Nguyen emphasizes making patients comfortable and relaxed during appointments and ensuring they feel welcome in the office.

The practice handles preventive and restorative needs in one setting. Cleanings and checkups follow the American Dental Association recommendation of visits at least twice a year, with more frequent visits suggested for patients showing signs of gum disease. Hygienists remove plaque and tartar, examine the teeth and gums, check the head and neck, and perform oral cancer screenings, and may recommend fluoride treatment for patients more susceptible to cavities. For patients diagnosed with periodontal disease, the team may recommend scaling and root planing, a nonsurgical gum therapy performed with a topical or local numbing agent. Comprehensive exams are recommended for new patients and every three to five years afterward, using X-rays and other diagnostic procedures to set a baseline and catch issues early. The practice also offers digital radiography, which uses 90 percent less radiation than traditional film X-rays. Emergency care covers toothaches, bleeding, knocked-out teeth, broken braces wires, and abscesses, with guidance on temporary relief until patients reach the office.

The office is located at 2749 Agnes Ln in Myrtle Beach, SC, and can be reached at (843) 213-6653.

Dr. Shapiro's stated goal is to change people's lives through his skills and modern dentistry, and the practice pairs that with a team built around a shared goal of giving patients their dream smile.
