Shelly Cheneweth, DDS

My first visit to Dr. Shelly Cheneweth DDS has been the most enjoyable and satisfying dental cleaning and examination experience. I was greeted by the receptionist right away as I walked in the door. The dental hygienist welcomed me and brought me inside. She dipped my hands in paraffin wax, placed a warm pillow over my neck and shoulder, and asked if I had any concern about my teeth. She then turned on the massager on chair and applied Chap Stick on my lips before she started cleaning. Dr. Cheneweth was so personable and professional. She performed a thorough exam and explained my dental health status and addressed my concerns. This office incorporates friendliness, thoroughness, comfort and technology that enhanced the experience.

Dr. Cheneweth and her staff are competent and caring. First off, I appreciated that they were able to fit me on a moments notice. I had my first appointment with her today. I am amazed by not only the painless procedure (cavity filling), but the staff does go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable in many other ways. The receptionist was very welcoming and pleasant and offered me a beverage on arrival, once I was in the treatment room they dipped my hands in paraffin wax, placed a warm neck roll on my neck and shoulders, and put chap-​stick on my lips before and after the procedure. Not only did I appreciate those little touches, but I also appreciated Dr. Cheneweth’s bedside manner. She was caring, talked me through the quick procedure, and most importantly made sure I was numb before she started treating me, afterwards she took time to speak with me about the procedure and to answer any of my questions.
in summary, if you are looking for a dentist in Ukiah, I highly recommend Dr. Cheneweth!

OMG, when I left the office I forgot I was at the dentist, except I had clean sparkly teeth! Not only is the office emaculately clean, the staff friendly, you get to have a parafin wax treatment to your hands. Yes, you read correctly parafin wax on you hands. The chairs have massagers and you have a warmed neck pillow for added comfort. The equipment is all state of the art, you can wear sunglasses to avoid the bright lights in your eyes to avoid «over exposure» and Dr. Cheneweth actually does your cleaning, not an assistant. She is very thorough and explains not only what is going on in your mouth, but how to prevent future problems. Honestly, when I got up to leave, I thought I had just had a massage. Who thought a dental experience could be so relaxing.
