Dr. Sharon Wagener, DDS
Dentist
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.
My practice is founded on continuing education and staying current with digital and technological developments within the field. Computers, lasers, and other modern advancements have significantly improved the service we can provide, whether in Laser Bleaching, Laser TMJ treatments, Cerec dentistry, or digital record keeping.
