The reason we make your dental treatment so personalized and transparent at our dental office is because we want you to feel like you and your family truly belong at Daniel Island Dentistry. Not only do we work hard to make your dentistry easy and convenient, but we operate independently, not under the arm of some mysterious corporation. Furthermore, your treatments are your decision; were simply teaching you everything you need to know about your oral health and collaborating with you to achieve the best care possible.
Dr. Church has been a part of the dental world for well over a decade, starting out as a dental assistant/receptionist before undergoing dental school at the Medical College of Georgia. She went straight into private practice and jumped headfirst into pursuits of continuing education. She immediately became an Invisalign provider in 2015, attended Smile Design and cosmetic courses to establish the proper workflow of achieving the perfect smile, took CAD/CAM courses so that she could start designing/milling restorations in-house, and joined the American Academy of Facial Esthetics in order to study TMJ dysfunction therapy and BOTOX delivery for therapeutic/cosmetic reasons.
Dr. Church has devoted a great deal of her continuing education to cosmetic dentistry, specifically individualized smile enhancements, veneer/crown design, and bonding techniques to close black triangles/spaces with Bioclear. Shes also extensively studied full mouth rehabilitations for Daniel Island Patients with failing and/or missing teeth who need a completely new slate! For her, theres always more to learn when it comes to the dental world and discovering new ways to help patients thrive.
She decided to plant her roots in one location, joining Daniel Island Dentistry in November of 2020 and agreed to take over the dental office in January 2021. From the very beginning, her favorite part of this line of work has been an easy answer: the relationships with people! Dentistry allows her to truly connect with patients in ways that she cherishes. Having grown up on Amelia Island in Northeast Florida, she loves the sense of community that Charleston and Daniel Island provide. Additionally, she really loves the artistic reflection of dentistry and focuses a lot of her skillset into the small details that are required to provide exceptional dental results.
Dr. Church and her husband, Eric, spend a lot of time on the beach and outdoors. They have a son named Connor and a baby girl on the way in September! They also have four energetic rescue dogs, so their home is quite a balancing act, but she loves the organized chaos! Eric is a veteran of the Air Force, a firefighter for Joint Base Charleston, and an incredible husband/father. Even though running her own dental office has been an ultimate goal of many years, the role of MOM is first and foremost as well as the motivation to be the best she can to set a positive example for her kids.
When it comes to hobbies, Dr. Church loves their adventures around Charleston as a family. She also enjoys running, biking, and indoor cycling on the Peloton. She and Eric are big fans of college football and always find a way to cheer on their Florida State Seminoles!
Originally from Western Kansas, Shannon and her involvement in the dental world spans over eight years. In addition to her managerial expertise, she is a certified dental assistant and trained in CPR. Her favorite part of this job by far is being able to form connections with patients!
Mallorys career in the dental field spans over five years so far. She has her Bachelors in Education and studied dental hygiene at Trident Technical College. She is certified in BLS and infiltration anesthesia. What she loves most about her role at Daniel Island Dentistry is getting to make a positive difference in the lives of her patients while also working alongside the most amazing dental team ever! They all feel like family to her.
Mallorys wonderful, loving husband Eric works for the Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission. They have a Shih Tzu named Tucker and a cat named Charles. When she has spare time away from the dental office, her favorite hobbies include working out at the gym, hiking, traveling, going to the beach, drinking/learning about wine, and indulging in delicious chocolates!
Sarah is originally from Rock Hill, and she has been a part of the dental field for over five years now. She completed her dental hygiene degree at York Technical College. As a hygienist, she loves being able to educate patients on not only their oral health, but their overall wellbeing too!
Ashley first joined our dental office nearly five years ago, and she could not ask for more awesome coworkers! They are such a fun group of ladies to work with. She studied dental assisting at Trident Technical College.
Originally from Londonderry, NH, Ashley has a husband named Andy and a young daughter named Brinley. In her spare time, you can typically find her visiting her family in New England, going to the beach, drinking good wine, and traveling the world.
Kerry is from Minnesota and attended Howard Community College. While she has only been in the dental field for a few years, Kerry has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to what you need in the chair! She loves developing close relationships with our patients, as well as being able to help nervous visitors feel more comfortable and relaxed!
Kerry and her husband Scott have three amazing daughters named Isabel, Sophie, and Coco. When she is not busy at work, her free time is spent playing soccer, running, baking, painting, hanging out at the beach, and doing pretty much anything that takes her outdoors.
Karen may be relatively new to our team, but she has been working in the dental world for over 15 years! She would say that her favorite parts of the job are getting to spend time alongside such wonderful co-workers and being able to learn new things every day!

I don't mind going to the dentist anymore! In fact I am happy to go because I know my teeth are being well taken care of painlessly. What a positive experience, from the first welcome ... everyone in the office is so friendly and comforting. They remember you and make you feel like you are an old friend. Dr. Church is an amazingly talented Dentist. She and her assistant worked in synchrony and kept me updated on what she was doing throughout the visit all with carrying on just the right amount of interesting conversation. I was recently there for two hours for crowns and I was so relaxed I almost dozed off a bit!! Thanks so much Dr. Church and staff.

Christina and the DID team: The DID team took my call immediately after I experienced a dental problem the previous evening. They made room me on their schedule and I was seen within a couple hours of my call. Dr. Church determined that my tooth required an extraction and carefully explained why and what should come next. She recommended an oral surgeon (Dr. Daniel Leach) and then her staff made the appointment for me. I heard the initial call and was disappointed that they were booked for several weeks. However the DID team intervened and I was able to be seen the SAME day and the extraction procedure was done that afternoon. The experience with the Dr. Leach, the oral surgeon far exceeded my expectations... I was treated like a VIP and I'm sure it was due to the close professional connection of the two practices. I am grateful to DID for taking care of me so professionally. In a period of less than 16 hours after the problem was discovered, the DID team provided me with a complete solution! Must be some type of record for that, right? Thanks again to you and your staff and the recommendation of Dr. Leach.

As a veteran I have traveled all over and I have received treatment from many dentists from Washington D.C. to Oklahoma and places in between. D.I.D. is by far the best experience I have had. They are professional, courteous, considerate and skillful. The staff treat me as if they've known me for years!!! This has gone a long way to alleviate my anxiety over dentist appointments. I live two hours from their office and the drive is worth it. I would NOT suggest a visit to another dentist in this region before at least giving Daniel Island Dentistry a try. A visit to the dentist can be intimidating but, you will not be disappointed in the professional, care and treatment they provide.

My wisdom tooth broke in half and had to be removed. Dr. Mattison and her assistant were so wonderful. They constantly checked on my level of pain and kept me informed through the entire experience. I highly recommend Daniel Island Dentistry.

Dr. Church and the entire team at DI Dentistry is awesome! Today was the first time in all my years of going to dentists I had a shot and didn't feel it and didn't feel any of the work she was doing! That's a big deal for me. She was also very patient in answering all my questions about the procedure and an upcoming procedure. Definitely a pleasant experience and that's not something often said about a trip to the dentist.
