Meet Dr. Shimp
Personalized dentistry shaped by skill and service.
Dr. Shimp is deeply committed to providing the exceptional, personalized care patients have come to expect. He earned his dental degree from the University of the Pacific in San Francisco and provides a wide range of treatment, including dental implant placement and restoration, bone grafting, wisdom teeth removal, routine and surgical extractions, restorative care, and Invisalign. He also offers IV and oral sedation for appropriate patients across a range of dental procedures after reviewing their health history and treatment needs.
Originally from Indiana, Dr. Shimp is happy to be settling down here in Northern California with his wife and two young sons, and they are excitedly preparing to welcome a baby girl later this year. He is very much looking forward to becoming an active and invested member of the Red Bluff community.
