Dr Shannon Dryer

Hailing from East Tennessee, Dr. Shannon Dryer graduated with a B.S. in Biology from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. She earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2014 from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. Dr. Dryer always knew she wanted to be in healthcare and spent several summer breaks volunteering at her local hospital in Tennessee. She gives credit to her father for encouraging her to shadow a dentist which turned out to be the perfect profession for her detail-oriented personality. After dental school, Dr. Dryer worked in community health in West Missouri and then followed her husband to North Idaho and worked at a large group practice. After several years of enjoying the beautiful Pacific Northwest, it was time to get closer to family. Now back in Missouri, Dr. Dryer is excited to serve the Nixa and Ozark communities. Providing top notch, gentle, and compassionate care is her daily mission in the office. Always eager to learn, Dr. Dryer enjoys devoting time to continuing education to keep up with the advances of the dental profession. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband and 2 sons with whom she enjoys trying new recipes, hiking, and traveling.
