As a young man, Sam Shamoon consistently set his vision to exceed expectations and had an insatiable desire to learn. Grades? Awards? Dentistry is more than his profession, its his passion. He takes vacation time to attend conferences, trainings and classes. He is also a strong advocate for dentistry and safe, high quality delivery of dental care to the public.
Dr. Shamoon is committed to extensive participation in continuing dental education. Currently, he partakes in 150-180 hours annually of post graduate advanced continuing education, which exceeds the state requirements for licensure (20 hours annually).
Dr. Shamoon graduated from the University of Detroit in 1985 with a degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). He met his wife, Rosemary, right out of school in private practice. She was the office manager at the dental practice, after graduating in 1980 as a dental technician. I met my beautiful wife, Rosemary, when I was just out of dental school. She was working in the dental practice I had joined and I was taken with her charm and professionalism. Within 6 months of meeting her, I asked her to marry me and she said, Yes! They are proud of their three sons, who are high-achieving students in high school and college and volunteer at various charities.
Rosemary joined me to help run our practice in 1991. We have chosen to keep our practice small because we like the family atmosphere. Rosemary has set the tone for our office as a caring family and she and Nora keep it inviting and running efficiently.
Dr. Shamoon selected the location of Berkley, Michigan for his practice because of the welcoming community and central location. Its location just off of Woodward Avenue on 11 Mile Road and only a mile north of I-696 makes it easily accessible to patients from Royal Oak, Clawson and Birmingham as well as Ferndale, Warren, Southfield and Farmington.
In his spare time, Dr. Shamoon enjoys Backgammon with his father, educational seminars and course work, time with his family and is a 3rd Degree Black Belt (though he wont tell us what year he earned it!).
He received a Fellowship award from the Academy of General Dentistry in July of 1994. This is an academic and a clinical achievement award given to those who complete a minimum of 500 hours of continued dental education and satisfactory completion of a special Fellowship examination. Dr. Shamoon also received his Mastership award from the Academy of General Dentistry in August of 2001 (which requires additional 600 hours of continued dental education that are primarily hand-on and/or with clinical participation).
In July of 2009 Dr. Shamoon received the Lifelong Learning & Service Recognition (LLSR) Award for his commitment to lifelong learning, volunteer services to communities in need, mentorship to associates and new dentists and participation in organized dentistry. The LLSR is a formal acknowledgment of the AGD Mastership awardees. AGD Masters who receive this additional recognition must have completed more than 1,600 hours of continuing dental education in all disciplines of dentistry, including 550 hours dedicated to hands-on skills and techniques and more than 100 hours of service to the community primarily through the Royal Oak Rotary Club.
Dr. Shamoon is a member in good standing of the Academy of General Dentistry where he has served as the Continuing Dental Education Committee Founder and Chairman from 1991 to present, the Wolverine FastTrack Mastership program Director from 1999 to present, and served as president to the Michigan Academy of General Dentistry in 1996-1997 and 2005-2006. He is currently the Academy of General Dentistry Board Trustee representing Michigan and Wisconsin. He is also an Adjunct Faculty in the Biomedical Sciences Department as well as on the Continuing Education Advisory Committee at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry.
He is also a member of American Academy of Functional Orthodontics, Holistic Dental Association, International Dental Health Foundation and The Cranial Academy (A Component Society of the American Academy of Osteopathy). Dr. Shamoon was a member of Delta Dental of Michigan Advisory Committee from 1992 to 1999. His public associations include Rotary International from 1987-Present with membership in the Ferndale Rotary Club (1987-1995), the Berkley Rotary Club (1995-2002), and the Royal Oak Rotary Club (2002-2012). He served as the treasurer for the Royal Oak Rotary Club and Foundation (2007-2011).

Going here is like visiting old friends. I would never hesitate to HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dental practice to anyone. It is always a pleasure to see Dr. Shamoon. He is honest and gives you confidence that he will pursue the best course of treatment for your needs. He's a top notch dentist who is skilled and well-versed in the latest technologies. And to complement his skills, he's just a cool guy who is personable and has quite the sense of humor that makes you feel comfortable. The office is clean and well-maintained. Waiting has never been an issue. It's a professional and very people-friendly place where the doctor and his staff always make appointments a pleasant experience. Shout out to Nora and Rosemary at the front desk who are always smiling, joking, super friendly and, above all, professional. They always make you feel welcome. These two are amazing multi-taskers who will assist the doctor at times when he is with a patient and themselves have a good grasp of general dentistry. Last, but certainly not least, is Jamie the hygienist. She is the best! Personable and funny and always a treat to talk to. She is the most thorough hygienist I have known. She is an early warning system for the doctor and makes him aware of potential issues that others may easily miss. Jamie is amazing!

I have been seeing Dr. Shamoon my entire life, including my orthodontic care when I was younger. I now bring my children to him. He's knowledgeable, patient and gentle. I also love the hygienist and front office staff. Everyone makes sure to make you feel comfortable. I would never go to a different office and would never hesitate to refer friends here.

Love this Dentist, Everyone from the receptionist (Norma) to the hygienist (Jamie) to the Dr (Shamoon) is first class, you really can't go wrong. If your lucky enough to experience Jamie cleaning your teeth, your going to get out of that chair feeling like you need to leave a tip, she's that good. Jamarr'

I was suggested this dental office from a friend and am so happy I booked an appointment. The entire staff was very friendly and personable. The location and parking was very convenient and accessible. Everything from the music they played to the option of having room-temp or cold water while I was waiting, they really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and getting the best experience. After my first cleaning, I would not trust anywhere else with my dental needs!

Amazing Dentist, along with an amazing dental hygienist. It has taken me years to finally meet a great dentist that takes time to listen to you, educate, and provide options that best meet your needs. Dr. Shamoun is awesome, gentle and very informative.

Today's Smile Center is fantastic. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and has a great sense of humor. I never dread going and I feel like Dr. Shamoon and company genuinely care about my oral health. They work with you to make sure you're getting the best care possible and do their best to save and protect what you have and avoid operating if possible. It's just a great atmosphere and you feel like you're in really good hands. By far the best dentist I've ever had and I can't recommend him enough.
