Dr. Sheperd earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston. He is a member of the American Association of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and the Academy of General Dentistry. While he provides comprehensive general dentistry, Dr. Sheperd has a particular passion for Cosmetic Dentistry, Sleep Medicine and Implant Dentistry.
He understands every patient is unique and his approach is simple: He is here to listen to you! “My goal is to ensure you feel heard and leave our office with a plan you truly feel good about.”
Guided by his faith and a commitment to honesty and respect, Dr. Sheperd views his work as an opportunity to be a healing hand in the community, treating every patient with the dignity and care they deserve.
Dr. Sheperd’s dedication to others began long before dental school. As an Eagle Scout with a love for the outdoors, he learned the value of community service early on. He later spent two years as a missionary in Brazil, an experience that deepened his faith and left him fluent in Portuguese. His decision to pursue dentistry was solidified by his mentor and long-time friend, Dr. Scott Ballard, who showed him that a career in healthcare is the ultimate way to give back.
Moving to the Denison area has been a dream come true for his family. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Sheperd is a devoted husband and father of three. When he isn’t spending quality time with his family, you might find him watercolor painting or enjoying the Texas outdoors.
He is honored to call this community home and looks forward to meeting his neighbors and helping them achieve their healthiest smiles.
