Trusted Dentist near Zimmerman Park Billings MT

The Zimmerman Park area is full of families who are outside constantly, and people get hurt out there in ways that involve teeth more often than you would think.

When Zimmerman Park area families need a dentist, they call Shumway Family Dentistry.
What Our Patients Say About Us
Zimmerman Park-Area Family Dentistry
Families in neighborhoods like Palisades Park, Lillis Heights, and Forest Park tend to stick with a dental practice once they find one that actually works for the whole family. We set up our scheduling so that parents and kids can come in the same day, and we keep records so we are not starting over every time.
Eight years is a long time to practice in one area. We have watched kids come in for their first cleaning and come back years later as teenagers, and their parents have been patients the whole time. As a dentist in Billings MT, that kind of continuity is something families in this part of Yellowstone County actually want.
Outdoor and Sports Injury Cases
The trails at Zimmerman Park are popular and they are not easy. Mountain bikers come off those Rimrock trails hard sometimes, and we have repaired fractured front teeth from handlebar impacts more than once. Youth hockey and football games around the West End send us cases too, usually kids who took a hit to the face.
A knocked-out tooth needs to reach a dentist within the hour for the best chance of saving it. The families who call us right away after an injury give us the most to work with. If something happens, call (406) 248-7500 before heading to an ER for anything that is not a jaw fracture or uncontrolled bleeding.
Getting in fast is what makes the difference between a quick repair and a bigger problem down the road. Time matters more with dental injuries than most people realize.
Delayed and Catch-Up Exams
A lot of people in this area have not been to the dentist in a while, and it is usually for the same reasons: work, kids, costs, life. We see it constantly. Patients come in expecting to hear the worst after a few years away, and honestly it is rarely as bad as they thought.
We have done catch-up exams for people who put off care for years because they did not have insurance or could not afford it. Shumway Family Dentistry does not take insurance, so we set our own pricing and tell you what things cost before we do them. There are no surprise bills at the end.
If you have been putting it off, the appointment is not going to be as bad as you are picturing it. Come in and we will take a look.
Same-Day Emergency Appointments
A cracked molar that will not quiet down. A kid who caught an elbow to the face at a weekend game near Zimmerman Trail. Those calls come in and we fit them in.
When urgent cases come in, we work to get people seen the same day. We have seen patients the same morning they called after overnight tooth pain, and after bike accidents on the Rimrocks. Do not sit on it.
Waiting almost always makes dental problems cost more and take longer to fix. Call sooner rather than later and we will figure out what is going on.
Cosmetic and Restorative Work Near Zimmerman Park
Patients from Poly Vista and Shiloh Point come in for cosmetic work, usually after something prompts them to think about it. Whitening and bonding are the most common. When we do veneer work, the goal is something that looks like yours, not a Hollywood result that reads as fake.
Crowns, fillings, and bonded repairs all use materials meant to last and look right. We talk through what is elective and what actually needs doing at every appointment. Take a look at our family dental care in Billings MT page if you want a sense of the full range of what we do.
We give honest assessments and charge fair prices. That is what Shumway Family Dentistry does.
We also serve nearby West End Billings, Billings Heights, and the Midtown Grand Avenue corridor.
