I have bonding on my front tooth from a childhood injury that needed to be replaced due to discoloration. Dr. Lauren did a fantastic job! My smile looks so bright and happy now! She takes her time, pays attention to detail, and talks to you through it all so you’re comfortable. She’s the best!

I absolutely love everyone at Porter’s Neck Family Dentistry!! I was recommended to this office after moving to NC by almost everyone in my family, for good reason. You are taken care of from the second you walk in to the minute you leave! Dr. Shumate is an amazing asset to have when trying to provide yourself with the best dental care. He removed my wisdom teeth & performed a descaling, & I knew I was in great hands. My recovery time was short & I’ve been feeling great ever since! I’ve seen such an improvement in my dental health as well & I owe it all to this amazing office!

I can’t stop smiling. I had the greatest appointments with Dr. Lauren King my entire life. I had this crooked tooth one visit one hour later. I cannot stop smiling night and day difference. I can’t even believe I waited all these years. I’m so happy to have found Dr. Lauren King she’s amazing.

Dr Shumate recently capped 2 of my front teeth. He did a beautiful job with them and went over and above what others dentists have done. I am so very happy with them!! His staff is kind and warm and caring. My husband and I have been going to him for several years and we highly recommend him.

Dr. Lauren is an excellent addition to Porter’s Neck Dentistry. I had a very nervous teen getting her first cavity filled. Dr. Lauren took time to answer every one of her questions seriously and reassuringly. She worked quick! My daughter left smiling and feeling confident!
