Shannon
Originally from Upstate New York, Shannon later made her home in Southwest Michigan after getting married. She loves Michigan’s natural beauty — especially the fresh water (even when it’s frozen!). In fact, her children were completely baffled on their first beach trip to North Carolina when they discovered the ocean water was salty instead of fresh.
With 19 years in dentistry, including nearly 17 years as a hygienist, Shannon brings extensive experience and a true passion for patient care. She joined the SFD team in 2024 after moving to North Carolina and quickly became a valued part of the practice.
Her favorite part of being a hygienist is building genuine connections with patients and helping ease dental fears. She believes dental visits should feel comfortable — and even fun — and strives to create a welcoming, supportive environment for every person she treats.
Outside the office, she enjoys cheering on her kids at their sporting events, gardening, and traveling anywhere warm with a beautiful beach.
