Meet the Staff
OUR FRIENDLY STAFF

Shannon
I am originally from Winona, MN. I grew up on a small horse ranch in Piedmont, SD and graduated from Sturgis Brown High School. In 2005, I graduated from Western Dakota Tech with a certification in Dental Assisting, Radiology and Expanded Functions. I have worked at Family Dental Care for almost 20 years. I enjoy the dental field by helping patients feel comfortable and making them smile. I love spending time with my husband, Tom, and my sons Gage and Vander.

Bretton
I am originally from the Black Hills and graduated from Central High School in 2012. In 2016, I graduated for Dakota State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. While in college, I played on the university’s softball team as a pitcher and second basemen.
I love spending time with my husband Hank and our daughter Murphy, along with my family who all live in town! In my free time I enjoy being outdoors watching my siblings sporting events, hunting and fishing.

Emily, RDH
I was born in Aberdeen, SD but spent most of my life here Rapid City. I attended the University of South Dakota where I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene. After graduation, I was excited to start my career and began working at Family Dental Care in 2019.
One of the things I enjoy most about my job is getting to know our patients and helping them take care of their smile. I always make sure to take time to answer any questions they may have and provide them with information they need to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, as well as staying active by fishing, skiing, and playing golf.

I am a Rapid City native and love living in the Black Hills. DJ and I have been married for 29 years and have 2 children. When I am not working, you will find me on the pickleball court. It is one of my “happy places”! I volunteer at the Canyon Lake Activity Center as membership chair. I also enjoy my book club (we have been together for over 15 years), Vivace (wine appreciation group), and a crotchet trio that gather in the fall and winter.
