Dr. Shannyn Little is a native of Belmont, North Carolina. She received her undergraduate degree in Textile Engineering from NC State and her dental training from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Dentistry. She also completed the Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at East Carolina University.
Dr. Little is a member of The American Dental Association (ADA), The American Dental Education Association (ADEA), The North Carolina Dental Society (NCDS), The American Association for Women Dentists (AAWD), and The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD). She is currently working toward a fellowship with the AGD.
Dr. Little currently resides in Southern Pines, North Carolina within walking distance of the office with her husband, Jared, and their pet Pitbull/French Bulldog mix, Laylah. In her spare time, she enjoys painting, cooking/experimenting with recipes, playing sports, going to the beach, running, hiking, gardening, interior design, and spending time with her friends and family.
When asked what she enjoys most about her job, she states: 'I enjoy the creativity it allows. Every patient is unique and every treatment is patient-specific. It is fun to figure out what is best for each particular person and to really get to know them and develop strong bonds (no pun intended ) in the process! My patients become my family and I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to be a part of their lives!'
We perform routine dental services such as dental exams, dental X-rays, dental cleanings, filling cavities, teeth whitening, and minor dental surgery as well as more advanced procedures such as dental implants, crowns, and other cosmetic and restorative procedures.
Dr. Little strives to provide the highest quality dental care in a relaxed, friendly environment. She is excited to build on Dr. Vicars' legacy while forming new relationships and continuing to provide excellent care for you and your family.

I had a great experience. The staff was efficient and helpful in assisting me to figure out what my insurance would cover and what I could afford. We made a treatment plan and they helped me break down every step with knowledge of cost on the front end. Dr. Little was so kind and worked very quickly and accommodated my request for filings on my first visit. I don't like going to the dentist because I don't have the best teeth and it's embarrassing. But I felt welcome and at ease at Southern Pines Smiles. I definitely recommend this to anyone in the Southern Pines/Vass area!!

I'm a huge baby when it comes to dental work. I was a client of Dr Vicars before the business was sold. I've been very pleased with the new ownership. I take my kids here also. They are extremely friendly and patient with my daughters.

I'm new to SP and had a bit of an emergency gum situation. I got in the same day and can't say enough good things about my experience. From the super sweet receptionist to the hygienist and Dr. Little. I can honestly say I can't wait to go back to the dentist for my cleaning :)
