Registered Dental Hygienist

Shannon Wald -RDH

My Name is Shannon and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist. I have been in the dental field for almost 20 years and have enjoyed it immensely.

A little about myself is that I love animals especially my 2 dogs Jack and Bestla, and I enjoy being outside in every season. The best piece of advice ever given to me was to truly live and invest in wherever I am. That advice gave me the confidence to make Grande Prairie my home.

I have chosen to make Boisson Dental Group my work home because I am able to work to my full potential delivering quality care, in a supportive environment. I look forward to the opportunities provided by the office to continue to develop my career utilizing the latest technology and surrounded by a great team.
