They look so natural that you would never even know he had work done. Thanks for giving Tom his smile back! I LOVE my new smile. Dr. Zdep's imaginative problem-solving skills returned my smile and dental health to great condition.

Our commitment to Syracuse and our community extends throughout the many generations of patients that we have had the pleasure of serving. Our current family practice was established in downtown Syracuse nearly 100 years ago by Dr. Joseph Watson, who practiced with his son, Dr. Jeffrey A. Watson. Until his own retirement, Dr. Jeff Watson worked with Dr. Steven F. Zdep at Lincoln Center for thirty-two years, with Dr. Steven R. Zdep joining in 2003.After relocating the practice from downtown to the Dewitt area in 2011, Dr. Steven F. Zdep and his son, Dr. Steven R. Zdep, partnered with Dr. Scott W. Shallish.
Like his father, Dr. Steve graduated from Christian Brothers Academy. He then attended LeMoyne College to earn his Bachelor of Science in Biology and was awarded Academic All-American while playing lacrosse. He went on to attend State University at Buffalo Dental School where he earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree.
Born and raised in Syracuse, Dr. Scott is excited to be back in town to provide dental care to patients of all ages. He understands the challenges that many patients may have with anxiety when seeking dental treatment and he strives to create a comfortable and relaxing experience. Dr. Scott welcomes patients with any concerns and he looks forward to caring for each patient's unique dental needs.
Periodontal disease, more commonly known as gum disease, has been linked to serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, stroke and some forms of cancer. We take a proactive approach and offer periodontal screenings on a regular basis. Healthy gum tissue is the foundation for a disease-free, healthy mouth and smile.

I got in contact with this practice to try and become a new client about a year ago. I gave my insurance information and was told I would be called back. When I was not called back for several business days I called again and left a voicemail. I was still never contacted. Because the location is convenient I decided to try one more time to become a client.
I got through but was immediately put on hold. After almost 20 minutes of being on hold without anyone checking in to reassure me I wasn't forgotten about I hung up. The other reviews here are great so it's a shame it is so difficult to get a response in order to become a client. I hope any one who tries to become a client here has better luck than I did.

I first sought out Dr. Steven R. in '04 for an emergency abscessed molar at age 50. His care has always been first-rate - skillful, wise and kind. I particularly appreciate his custom of presenting all alternatives and options. Consequently, his services are in high demand - routine appts. currently being set for March '23! Of the many practices that I have experienced in the Syracuse area, their staff and environment set the standard to which all should aspire.

Dr. Scott Shallish is a very caring, compassionate dentist. I have been afraid of dentists all my life. He explains everything and truly understands my fears. I had a tooth extracted today and never felt any pain at all. I highly recommend Dr. Shallish if you are looking for an amazing dentist. If I can be relaxed in the chair anyone can. Thank you Dr. Shallish
