Our Team
At Smiles by Shannon Dental, we work hard, smile big, and love, love, love our patients.
Not only are we friends in this office; we are a family of caring professionals devoted to your well-being. Besides being some of the best in the field of dentistry, our staff has been specially hand-selected, expertly trained, and dedicated to treating you like family, utilizing the latest and most gentle methods of modern dentistry.
We have a special knack for treating children, those with some anxiety about the dentist, and patients who are self-conscious about their smiles
We care about our patients, their families, and their lives. Our Harrisburg office is warmed with a touch of Southern charm and a heavy dose of compassion — because we not only listen with our ears but our hearts.
