About Dr. Shannon

Dr. Shannon is a native of New Orleans and graduated from the University of New Orleans in 1991 with a Degree in Business Administration. After working for several years in the corporate environment, he desired a more fulfilling career and went back to school to become a dentist. A career in dentistry offered Dr. Shannon the opportunity to work with his hands while at the same time helping people with their oral health.

Dr. Shannon graduated from LSU School of Dentistry in 2000 and decided to further his knowledge of dentistry by entering a Prosthodontic residency which is one of the ADA recognized dental specialties. Three years later in 2003, he completed the residency and earned a certificate in Prosthodontics along with a Master’s Degree in Oral Biology. Since this time Dr. Shannon has maintained a private practice limited to the specialty of Prosthodontics.

Dr. Shannon also works a half day a week at the VA hospital in Baton Rouge treating difficult denture cases and veterans afflicted with TMJ. Recently Dr. Shannon also sees oral cancer patient at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center to coordinate their oral care during cancer treatment.

Dr. Shannon also lectures professionally for the Zimmer Dental Corporation about dental implants and has co-authored and published four articles in peer reviewed dental journals.
