Wrapping up dental hygiene appriciation month with one of our rockstars; Jen who is now officially with us full time!

“ I’m so grateful to do what I love every day. I’ve been a registered dental hygienist for over 11 years. And i truly enjoy giving comprehensive care to my patients- because dental hygienist s do more than clean teeth;we help detect early signs of disease and prevent systemic health problems such as pneumonia, Alzheimer’s,diabetes and cardiovascular disease! I love building relationships, educating patients on preventive care, and being part of a team dedicated to creating healthy, confident smiles. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone leave their appointment feeling better about their oral health! “

Keep doing what you love Jen ! What an amazing provider and patient advocate for full body health starting with oral hygiene! 🦷🪥

Our Culture

Since 2000, Dr. DeFinnis and his team have been bringing the latest cosmetic and general dental procedures to Shavertown and the surrounding communities. We know that for many patients, the very idea of getting dental work can make their heart race. That’s why we specialize in working with patients to calm your fears. We even offer I.V. sedation so you can sleep through your visit if you choose. Every procedure we offer is performed using the latest techniques and equipment to give you the best care we possibly can. From the first time you call, you’ll know you’ve found a place to call your dental home so why put off calling us Dr. DeFinnis would love to have you as one of our patients.
