Advanced Dental

Excellant Dental Office with great employees. Korbyn goes the extra step to make you feel comfortable with your cleaning exams. Beautiful new building makes the experience perfect. Dr. Shiner is the best.

My sister took her son in for an emergency tooth pull on a capped tooth that was new(his face had started to swell) as they were visiting and lived out of state. The receptionist and assistant took one look at my seven year old nephew and told him he would be feeling so much better once the cap and baby tooth was removed. Once my nephew was brought back though Shriner began arguing with my sister about medical advice( she is a RN) he wrote her a scrip for amoxicillin, which she explained to him that her son was allergic to it and he was already being given antibiotics. He told her she was wrong that her son wasnt allergic and if she didn’t give her son the antibiotics he was prescribing her sons throat would close and he would die. He then told her he didn’t have the anesthesia to pull the tooth and told her to take him to the local emergency room where they would take care of him. Then charged her.
The emergency room told us they do not do any dental work and to go to a dentist.
When I called the dentist office to ask why my sister was treated this way. Shriner lied about my sister several times(claiming she didn’t say her son was allergic to the antibiotics and that he didn’t pull the tooth now because my nephew needed medical attention first) he also avoided answering questions. When I finally told him she was a registered nurse and had already Talked to her sons dentist and pediatrician(both saying to remove the tooth now) He hung up on me.
Shriner refused to give any medical reason for not pulling the tooth. My sister is now having to pay a second dentist to pull the tooth after this scam artist didn’t want to do his job. The receptionist apologized several times for the situation but turning away a child who is swollen and in lots of pain and charging there mother is never ok.
Also after talking to another receptionist in town. Shriner knew full well the emergency room wouldn’t remove the tooth. My family will never be back.

Advanced Dental has been my family dentist since we came to Vernal in 2011. Dr. Shinner and his staff are amazing. Last time I went there was for a cleaning and Korbin and Kylee were awesome at taking care of my teeth:)

I made the decision to switch to Advanced Dental when they were able to see me the same day I called with a terrible toothache. My previous dentist (whom I had seen for over 20 yrs. was not available) so I made I went to Advanced Dental and am happy I did. I have had cleanings, crowns, and fillings. And with the introduction of their "Quality Care Membership" I am pleased to give them two thumbs up and 5 star review. The care has been great, friendly staff, and now a way to save money for someone with no dental insurance.

While traveling I stopped at Advanced Dental for a routine cleaning. While I was there I was informed that I had periodontal disease and needed a deep cleaning done. I was a little bit suspicious since my regular dentist had never mentioned me having periodontal disease, but trusting what I was told I scheduled to have the deep cleaning split into two visits. I went for the first deep cleaning visit and since I was 2,000 miles away from home my insurance didn't cover it. I ended up having to pay a lot more out of pocket than I had expected which was very difficult for me since I was on a very limited budget while out traveling. I ended up cancelling the second appointment for the rest of the deep cleaning because I simply could not afford it. After about 9 months I returned home and saw my regular dentist that I've been seeing for over 15 years to follow up on the deep cleaning that I had received at Advanced Dental. My regular dentist informed me that I showed no signs of having periodontal disease and that getting the other side of my mouth deep cleaned was not necessary.

Kid Friendly. Mouth Friendly. Very gentle and efficient.
We love Dr. Shiner and all his staff. My kids get so excited to go to the dentist.

Advanced Directive is a great dentist with and excellent staff. Korbin and Kylee are friendly and very knowledge. Since we started going there we have learned more about talking care of it teeth than with any other dentist. Thanks Advanced Dental!

I don't always look forward going to the dentist office but Dr Shiner makes the whole experience great. I highly recommend him especially if you usually have anxieties going to the dentist.

DR. Khan may literally have saved life. I had an abscess & needed 1 week of IV antibiotics. DR. Khan not only saved the tooth but found another dead 1 that was infected. He's the best!!!

These guys are awesome. I had a horrible tooth ache. They got me right in. Dr. Tyler concluded that I would need a root canal. He asked what I was doing the rest of the afternoon and did the procedure right then and there. I am so thankful and so happy with his dental skills and customer service.
