About Us

Hello & Welcome!

We’re delighted you’ve stopped by our website to learn more about our practice. At A Smile by Design, we’re excited to greet new smiles and reacquaint ourselves with familiar faces in our community. Our excitement stems from our passion for oral health and helping each patient achieve and maintain the healthiest, happiest smiles possible. We view our partnership with you as the foundation on which to build a strong defense against oral infection and pain; if you’re suffering from either, you’re not able to live your best life. We take pride in our ability to repair damage and—pardon the cheese—turn frowns upside down!

Meet the Doctor

James C. Vogler, DDS, FAGD

Dr. Vogler graduated from SUNY Buffalo Dental School in 1990. He continued his training with a general residency at Millard Fillmore Hospital in Buffalo, NY and then a two-year geriatric dental fellowship that in a combined program through the University of Connecticut and SUNY Buffalo. Over the years since, Dr. Vogler has completed well over 1000 hours of continuing education and has earned a fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry.

After completing his formal education, Dr. Vogler worked in a hospital practice in Rochester and then went to be the Director of what became the Sister Renee Dental Center in Hornell, NY.

In 2001, Dr. Vogler bought his practice in Dansville, NY from Dr. Courtenay Shera, who had run the practice with his brother, Dr. “Red” Shera, since the 1960’s. The practice was renamed A Smile by Design.

Meet the Team

Our hygienists, Colleen and Christine, have over 30 years of combined experience providing excellent dental care. Dental hygiene runs in the family with these two sisters-in-law, and they look forward to treating you like family, too! Staying up-to-date with continuing education allows them to answer your questions about all aspects of dentistry.

Our dental assistants are here to make your visit educational and enjoyable. Eileen and Heather will make sure you know what is going to happen at each visit, and follow up with you the next day to make sure any questions or concerns are answered.

We’ll help you maximize your insurance benefits, discuss financing options, and schedule your appointments. This department works to make your visits as predictable as possible from the moment you walk in the door.
