Nancy Mitchem
Went in for tooth extractions and a healing denture. I was both excited and apprehensive not knowing what to expect. Dr Shaw and his assistant, Dayana were very calming and reassuring. During the whole process I felt only a small bit of pain in the beginning and Dr Shaw numbed it a bit more and we were good to go. During the procedure they kept checking to make sure I was comfortable and doing alright. Before I realized it, the procedure was completed. The new denture was placed and adjusted. I couldnt believe how quick and painless it was. I was given clear instructions about how to take care of myself at home and what to expect. I couldn't be happier and more pleased with the results. Thank you Valley Hills Dentistry for restoring my ☺ smile!

Austin Davis
I've always despised going to the dentist. It makes me very nervous, anxious, and scared. However, I decided to try Valley Hills Dentistry when I moved to the Hickory area. This was the first dental experience I've had where I felt completely comfortable and relaxed. When I entered the office, I immediately felt welcomed and treated as more than just a patient. The front desk staff is amazingly kind and helpful, the assistants make you feel right at home, and Dr. Shaw was incredible. He explained to me why I needed treatment and never left me questioning his decision making. I didn't even feel the treatment! Dr. Shaw is very skilled and highly trained. I 10/10 recommend this dental practice for anyone looking for a pleasant dental experience.
