My family loves Maple Shade Dental! Dr Shanahan is an Amazing dentist!!
Trista A.
Dr. Shanahan’ work is top notch and his manner is very kind and considerate. I think Stephanie was the dental assistant’s name and she was fantastic. She kept me apprised of what was happening and why, she was skilled, gentle, and stayed focused. The staff help create an atmosphere in the office that is very pleasant.

Both the hygienist and the dentist was very polite and thorough. Both asked if I had any concerns or problems with my teeth. I would recommend anyone to go to this group.

I took my elderly mother to Maple Shade EP for her 1st visit this past week. Dr Shanahan tightened the wires that hold her partial in place, gave his recommendations, and had her fixed up in no time. She is very pleased with the results. My husband and I have been going to Dr. S. I think since the practice opened on Illini Drive. We’ve always been perfectly satisfied. Thank you!
