Erin Sheffield, DDS

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Practices In: Quincy
Patients Seen: All Ages
I know that going to the den­tist, (and the Oral Sur­geon at that!), can be a nerve wrack­ing expe­ri­ence. My mis­sion is to pro­vide as pos­i­tive expe­ri­ence as pos­si­ble whether you are hav­ing a tooth extract­ed or some­thing even more com­plex. My team and I are com­mit­ted to pro­vide a car­ing and com­fort­able atmos­phere while offer­ing mul­ti­ple lev­els of anes­the­sia to cater to your needs and safety.
