When you trust someone with your family's smiles, it helps to know who they are and what shaped them. Dr. Shannon Skiba, DDS, the dentist and owner of Highmark Dental Care in Jonesboro, has built her career around one simple idea: every patient — at every age and every ability — deserves skilled, gentle, judgment-free care.
A foundation built at The Ohio State University
Dr. Skiba earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree at The Ohio State University, one of the most respected dental programs in the country. That rigorous training gave her a deep clinical foundation — but just as importantly, it instilled a commitment to continual learning that she carries into the operatory every day.
In the years since, she has accumulated more than 15 years of hands-on experience treating patients of all ages, from a toddler’s very first checkup to complex restorative work for adults.
Licensed in two states — and trusted by the U.S. military
Dr. Skiba is licensed to practice dentistry in both Ohio and Georgia. Beyond private practice, she provides dental care on a contract basis for the U.S. military — work that demands precision, accountability, and the ability to care for a wide range of patients and needs.
Director of Dentistry at Heinzerling
Perhaps the role that says the most about her character is her work as Director of Dentistry at Heinzerling Community, an organization that serves children and adults with severe and profound developmental disabilities. Providing dental care for patients with complex needs requires extraordinary patience, adaptability, and compassion. It is specialized work that relatively few dentists are equipped — or willing — to take on, and it shapes the way Dr. Skiba approaches every patient who sits in her chair.
Care for the whole family, close to home
At Highmark Dental Care, that breadth of experience translates into something practical for local families: one trusted dentist who can care for children and adults alike, handle routine cleanings and cosmetic work, and stay calm and kind when patients are nervous. Families from Jonesboro, Riverdale, Morrow, Forest Park, Stockbridge, and Lovejoy come to Highmark because they want a long-term dental home — not a revolving door.
