Dr Sharon Wagener

My family immigrated to Canada from England in 1968. We settled in the Village of Stanley, where my two brothers, sister, and I attended school. I completed my BSc and DDS degrees at McGill University in Montreal from 1977-1984.

I moved back to New Brunswick in 1984 to practice dentistry while my husband Dale MacFarlane started his Land Surveying business. We both felt fortunate to raise our son Benjamin and daughter Bethany in the community of Woodstock.  The town is small enough that neighbours are familiar with one another while still able to provide ample opportunities for individuals and young families in the arts, sports, and leisure activities.

My practice is founded in continuing education and staying current with digital and technological developments within the field. Computers, lasers, and other modern advancements have significantly improved the service that we can give our patients, whether in Laser Bleaching and Laser TMJ treatments, Cerec dentistry, or digital record keeping.

Aside from enjoying my family and work life, I am currently serving on a committee supporting the Healthy Smiles Program with NBDS, along with being an active member in the St. James United Church. I also have, and am serving on committees helping refugees transition to our region from other countries. As I am a landed immigrant who gained citizenship in 1977, I feel fortunate to be able to enjoy all the benefits Canada has to offer. I am passionate about sharing the safety and beauty with others that this country provides.

Hi! I joined Dr Wagener’s team in June of 2021 as her receptionist. My previous work in billing, reception and banking has made it easy for me to transition into dental.

In my spare time you can find me on the softball field, at home working on crochet projects or spending time with friends kayaking the "Keg."

I look forward to meeting you!
