About James A. Shaheen, DDS

From a young age, Dr. Shaheen found dentistry fascinating. When he was 18 years old, he attended his first craniofacial clinic and decided that he wanted to be a dentist. Dr. Shaheen graduated from the University of Michigan with a bachelor’s degree in microbiology, and then attended Wayne State School of Business to pursue an MBA. Dr. Shaheen then began chasing his dreams in the dental field by returning to University of Michigan for Dental School. After graduating, he continued to advance his education in oral surgery, endodontics, and the medically compromised. As he began to practice, Dr. Shaheen quickly realized that while he loved the medical aspects and craftsmanship of dentistry, his favorite part of the job was the relationships he developed with his patients. He has a special gift for helping apprehensive patients feel at ease and overcome their fear of the dentist. Dr. Shaheen recognizes the difference that a comfortable, relaxing dental experience can make, and he strives his best to be a good friend to every patient that walks through his doors.
