With a passion for working with children, Jen joined Dr. Shea’s team in 2018, bringing her combined experience of working at a daycare and as a dental assistant. With a genuine passion for putting a (healthy) smile on everyone’s face, Jen loves telling corny jokes as much as the cheesy “dad jokes” shared by her teammates and patients.

Let your child’s smile shine.

Starting early with prevention and good habits will help build a life-long smile and relationship with us. Thank you for trusting us with one of the most joyful gifts a child has to offer- their smile!
