I knew at a young age that I wanted to create beautiful smiles and my passion for orthodontics has led me to develop an environment that is caring, trusting and lots of fun for everyone. With office locations in Grandville, and Plainwell, I enjoy providing excellent orthodontic care to the communities of West Michigan!
I attended Hillsdale College, where I studied Biology and Chemistry. After only three years, I entered dental school at the University of Michigan where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and graduated at the top of my class. After graduation, I entered a residency in general practice at the University of North Carolina, where I received my certificate in advanced general practice. From North Carolina, I traveled to South Carolina where I entered private practice.
Although I enjoyed general dentistry, I decided to pursue the rigorous process of becoming an orthodontic specialist. I was accepted into the orthodontic residency at the University of Tennessee, one of the oldest and most established programs in the country. I then received my Masters of Dental Science (MDS) in orthodontics. My experience as a general dentist and as an orthodontic specialist gives me a unique understanding of orthodontic treatment and its relationship to general dental health.
In order to keep up with the constantly changing world of technology and advances in orthodontic care, I regularly attend training and educational seminars. I am an active member of several organizations, including:
My wife, Kate, and I are extremely excited to make our home in West Michigan. Together, we enjoy traveling, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. In my free time, I can usually be found on a running trail or playing the piano or guitar.
Becky spends her time with her kids and attending all of their many activities. In her spare moments, she enjoys listening to music, drinking coffee (or something stronger) and planning trips for her family! She loves to laugh, explore new places and relax at the beach.
Jen is blessed to have 4 amazing children and 2 beautiful granddaughters. She loves her Bull Mastiff, Dozer. Jen is an avid reader and can always be found spending time with family or hanging out outside!
Kristal loves spending time with her family and attending her kids sporting events! For fun, she enjoys being outside in the summer- camping, kayaking, and bonfires are a few favorites. She also loves tacos.. any day, any time!
Melanie enjoys spending time with her red heeler puppy, Phoebe, walking new trails and doing agility with her. She also spends her time hanging out with friends and family, riding her horse, reading new books, watching Netflix, and traveling.

Usually I dread dentist/ortho appointments but this place makes it something to look forward to! Always a great experience here. Staff is always fun to work with and upbeat. If you're looking to get braces, definitely check this place out. They listen to your wants and needs. They also will work with you based on your financial situation and are very flexible so don't let that get in the way of having the smile of your dreams. Thanks Shannon Ortho!

I think they do good work. But don't miss a payment. I left my job because of the pandemic went in today and was behind $87 and was told my son couldn't have his appointment because of being behind. I truly wish I would have gotten a 2nd option, maybe with someone a little more reasonable prices for a single mom without dental insurance

All of the staff have been very patient and friendly. Funny, motivated and always understanding and helpful. They answer questions and concerns right away and never rush anything. Dr. Shannon has been very detailed with my treatment and with the outcome of my smile. My teeth are looking, as well as feeling, amazing. Oh, and they give cool merchandise! I highly recommend them.
