Meet Our Doctors

Two Doctors. One Thoughtful Standard of Care.

Meet the doctors bringing a personal, modern approach to dentistry in Jacksonville’s Mandarin community.


With a shared commitment to exceptional care, honest communication, and genuine relationships, Dr. Megan Moshea and Dr. Kristin Den Boef Shannon provide care designed around the individual—not simply the treatment.

Expertise That Always Feels Personal

Exceptional dentistry requires more than technical expertise. It requires curiosity, careful listening, and a sincere understanding of the person behind the smile.


Our doctors take time to learn what matters to you, explain their findings clearly, and create treatment plans that reflect your health, priorities, and long-term goals.


Their styles and experiences are distinct, but they share the same philosophy: patients deserve advanced care delivered with honesty, compassion, and personal attention.


Together, they are carrying Mandarin Dentistry into its next chapter while preserving the trusted relationships that have defined the practice for nearly 30 years.

Meet Dr. Megan Moshea

Advanced Expertise With a Down-to-Earth Approach

For Dr. Megan Moshea, dentistry brings together everything she values: science, creativity, precision, and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships.


Whether she is restoring a tooth, planning dental implant treatment, or refining the details of a smile, her goal is to deliver exceptional care while helping every patient feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely valued.


Originally from Nashville, Dr. Moshea grew up riding horses, swimming competitively, and developing an appreciation for both science and art.


She attended the University of Alabama, where she studied chemistry and biology and graduated with honors. She then earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis.


Since graduating in 2014, Dr. Moshea has devoted more than a decade to helping patients enjoy healthier, more confident smiles.

Dr. Moshea believes her patients deserve the very best that modern dentistry can offer. That belief has led her to complete more than 500 hours of advanced education in:

Comprehensive treatment planning

Small cavities do not always cause discomfort. They may be identified during a dental examination or through digital imaging before noticeable symptoms develop.


Treating decay at an earlier stage may allow us to preserve more of the natural tooth and reduce the likelihood that a more involved restoration will be needed.

Her Approach to Care

Trust Begins With Listening

Patients appreciate Dr. Moshea’s genuine, approachable personality and her ability to make complex treatment feel clear and manageable.


She takes time to answer questions, explain options, and ensure patients feel confident before moving forward.


Her recommendations are guided by careful diagnosis, experience, and professional judgment, along with a commitment to doing what is right for each individual.


For Dr. Moshea, trust is never assumed. It is earned through honesty, compassion, and consistency.

Beyond the Office

Life With Dr. Moshea

Outside the practice, Dr. Moshea enjoys spending time with her husband, Joseph, their sons, Emmett and Fletcher, and their Goldendoodle, Denver.


Her ideal Saturday begins with breakfast at home before the family heads out for its next adventure.


Dr. Moshea is grateful to serve the Jacksonville community and honored to continue the long-standing legacy of Mandarin Dentistry.

Meet Dr. Kristin Den Boef Shannon

Jacksonville Roots. A Natural Gift for Making Patients Comfortable.

For Dr. Kristin Den Boef Shannon, dentistry has always been about more than teeth. It is about people, relationships, and the opportunity to make someone feel truly cared for.


Her earliest inspiration came from watching her grandfather practice dentistry and seeing the lasting connections he built with his patients. His example showed her that dentistry could unite her interests in science and healthcare with her natural ability to connect with others.


Today, her favorite part of being a dentist is helping patients feel comfortable, understood, and confident in their smiles.

A Full-Circle Return to Mandarin Dentistry

From Dental Assistant to Doctor

Born and raised in Mandarin, Dr. Shannon is proud to care for the community she has always called home.


She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Florida. During the year before dental school, she joined Mandarin Dentistry as a dental assistant—an experience that strengthened her passion for the profession and left a lasting impression.


Dr. Shannon went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston in 2026.


Returning to Mandarin Dentistry as a doctor is a meaningful full-circle moment. She is honored to rejoin the practice in a new role and looks forward to building lasting relationships with patients and families throughout Jacksonville.

Her Approach to Care

A Calmer, More Comfortable Dental Experience

One of Dr. Shannon’s greatest strengths is her ability to help patients feel at ease.


She understands that dental visits can feel intimidating, especially for patients who have experienced anxiety or avoided care in the past. Her approach is patient, supportive, and entirely free of judgment.


Dr. Shannon listens carefully, creates space for questions, and helps patients move through treatment at a pace that feels comfortable.


Some of her most meaningful experiences have come from hearing patients say that compassionate care changed the way they feel about visiting the dentist.


Her goal is simple: to provide excellent dentistry while helping every patient feel safe, confident, and genuinely cared for.

Beyond the Office

Life With Dr. Shannon

When she is not caring for patients, Dr. Shannon enjoys spending time with her husband and their golden retriever, Ralph.


Their ideal weekend begins at a neighborhood coffee shop, followed by a walk with Ralph and time outdoors. After four years in Boston, she is especially happy to have beach days back in her regular routine.


Her advice for maintaining a healthy smile is refreshingly straightforward: use an electric toothbrush twice a day, floss daily, and remain consistent with regular dental visits.

A Shared Vision

Modern Dentistry Grounded in Trust

Dr. Moshea and Dr. Shannon bring different experiences and perspectives to Mandarin Dentistry, but they are united by a shared vision for patient care.


They believe dentistry should be:


  • Personal rather than transactional
  • Clear rather than overwhelming
  • Comprehensive rather than short-sighted
  • Advanced without feeling impersonal
  • Focused on health, confidence, and lasting results


Together, they provide a thoughtful balance of experience, innovation, and warmth—supported by a team that is equally committed to making every visit exceptional.
