I had minimum waiting time, and everyone was very friendly and professional. The doctor kept me informed during the procedure and is just awesome. Thank youH.S.
Made an appointment with the doctor after a friend highly recommended her. It was easy to check in despite current covid rules, the staff was super friendly, and the doctor thoroughly explained my xrays with me. The staff as a whole seem to really care about their patients. Would definitely recommend!K.J.

Shannon Galegher, D.D.S., is a General Dentist.
Raised on a farm in Eastern North Dakota, Dr. Shannon Galegher attended Minnesota State University Moorhead for an undergraduate degree in Health and Medical Sciences. While earning that degree, she also competed for the school’s varsity basketball team, a sport she continues to enjoy playing. After moving to Colorado, she earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine and was licensed through the Western Regional Examination Board.
She currently is an active member of the American Dental Association, the Colorado Dental Association, and the Metro Denver Dental Society. Dr. Galegher enjoys providing high quality and detail-oriented care for her patients. She and the team at Hilltop Dental strive to create an environment where patients can feel comfortable receiving care and asking questions to better understand and care for their mouths.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Galegher enjoys spending time exploring what Colorado has to offer – skiing, hiking, and sampling the big city’s many attractions. And for a dentist, she has quite the sweet tooth! As a result, she enjoys baking both family recipes and new ones she comes across. But of course, everything in moderation. Dr. Galegher and the team hope to see you soon!”

We understand the longer dental practices remain closed to preventive care and treatment for early forms of dental disease, the more likely that patients’ untreated disease will progress, increasing the complexity and cost of treatment. It is recommended by the CDC that you minimize the number of visits by completing as much of your recommended treatment during your appointment.
Your health is at the heart of why we do what we do. We’ve made it our mission to clear up common misconceptions and impart the oral care knowledge everyone needs so that you live a healthier, longer life.
