While she was initially drawn to offering general and family dentistry to patients of all ages, Dr. Shea discovered a particular passion for working with children after she spent four and a half years providing dental care at the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in Belcourt, North Dakota as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Public Health Services.

From their very first smile to their senior-photo grin, your child's smile and oral health profoundly influence their daily health and function, development, and experience of well-being. With an emphasis on providing your child with personal, practical, and compassionate dental care, Dr. Shea and her team offer a broad range of pediatric dentistry services that are tailored to meet your child's unique needs.
From infancy to adolescence, your child's smile is changing and developing just as much as they are. Along with changes to their dentition as they move from primary (baby) to adult teeth, the bones and muscles of your child's mouth and jaws are also growing and developing into their eventual adult shapes.
Dr. Shea and her team are here to help you understand your treatment planning and financial options and assist you to get the dental care your family needs. Our practice accepts multiple forms of payment, and thanks you for understanding that payment is due in full at the time of any treatment.

Dr. Shea’s office was very nice. The staff was wonderful in welcoming us to the office and being very kind to my daughter. Dr. Shea was thorough with the exam of her teeth making sure to tell me everything she was doing during her exam. And she was very nice to my daughter as she sat in the chair getting her teeth looked at. This is a wonderful practice and we will be long time patients!

We had pleasant experience. The office is a small treasure tucked away in the town of chili. The ladies at the front desk are cheerful and inviting. This was my son's first dentist experience and he was very scared and started to panic. But we had nothing to worry about because the team of SUPER WOMEN(dental hygienists and dentists) employed here reassured and comforted him. Although our first meeting here was brief I felt good knowing how much they all cared for us and we weren't just $$$ signs. I am glad we choose this place and look forward to coming back.

My daughter had to have a couple cavities filed and had some anxiety about it but she was in and out in 30 minutes! Everyone was wonderful, especially Connor the dental assistant who helped put her at ease and explained everything to her and showed her all his tools. The staff is great! All extremely friendly and they kept me informed on how she was doing since I was not able to be back there with her. Office is very clean as well. Would highly recommend!

My son had his first appointment today and it was a fantastic experience. All of the girls were nice from the second we walked in to when we left. My son is 4 and they tried to get X-rays done on him. They were so sweet and nice accommodating him with this. My son loved them & is excited for his next appointment already. Couldn’t be happier that we made the switch here. The whole office is wonderful.

Brought my 2y old in for a cleaning and to examine his teeth post fall that chipped his two front teeth. The front desk staff we so sweet and outgoing to help us schedule the last minute visit. The hygienist took her time and my little guy feel comfortable with the process. Dr Shea was extremely nice. She explained what she was doing/looking for whole examining his teeth and gave me a list of things to be on the look out for too. Overall, a very positive/warm experience after moving to a new area

What a fantastic pediatric dentist! We were in and out in a half an hour, which was PERFECT for my three-year-old. Upon entering, my son was able to run directly to a play area with a wide variety of toys while I checked in for the appointment. Within five minutes, we were brought back to a spacious room where the dental assistant explained all of the equipment and parts of the visit to my son. The hygienist put fluoride on his teeth (his flavor choice), he saw the dentist, and got to pick out a toothbrush. At the end, he got a coin to use on the "prize tower", and walked away from the
