Shannon, BSDH, RDH

Practice Manager

I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist since 1996. In my role as Practice Manager, I want your dental experience to be unmatched when it comes to professionalism and impeccable service. If you ever have a concern or question, or if you have a suggestion for improvement, I want to hear from you.

Malone & Costa Dentistry is a great place to work for many reasons. We have amazing technology, we stay abreast of current research and continuing education, and we have stringent infection control practices. But what I love best about our office is our culture of personalized service. Working on teeth is our calling, but our passion lies in serving people and improving lives!

“Since day one, I have enjoyed being a dental hygienist. There is always something new and exciting to learn regarding technology and health research, so continuing education is one of my favorite professional activities. The best part of being a hygienist, however, is developing relationships with patients! It is fulfilling to serve people who trust me and the information I share with them. Everyone here strives to make sure every patient leaves knowing we did everything we could to make their experience an exceptional one.”
