Meet The Team

Shannon

Office Manager

Shannon spent her childhood as a military dependent, living abroad the majority of those years until relocating to Okaloosa County with her family upon her father’s retirement.

She has 23 years of dedication to the dental healthcare field, spending the first 15 years as a Certified Expanded Functions Dental Assistant before transitioning to Practice Administration.

“I have had the pleasure of working as the Office Manager for Dr. Nabors for the last 6 years.  I thoroughly enjoy interacting with our patients, helping them to feel comfortable with any questions or concerns they may have and to help make their dental experience as great as possible!”

“My husband of 30 years and I enjoy spending free time with our family and friends, the beaches, rivers, and exploring all things old and vintage.”

Tara

Insurance Coordinator

Tara grew up in Ponce de Leon, Florida, and moved to Fort Walton Beach four years ago after meeting her husband. She has been in the dental field for 13 years, with most of her career spent as a pediatric dental assistant. She moved to a more clerical position with Nabors Family and Cosmetic Dentistry a year ago.

She and her husband spend their spare time in church, cheering on UGA (Go Dawgs), and soaking up the sun at the beach. She also loves to do crafts, read, travel (when she can), and spend time with my family.

Sylvia

Registered Dental Hygienist

Sylvia has been a hygienist for over 30 years. Over the years, she has had the privilege of meeting a great deal of wonderful people. She loves the friendships she has made along the way. Sylvia enjoys teaching patients how to improve their oral health along with helping them understand treatment recommendations. She and her husband decided to retire in the Niceville area in 1998 after moving with the Air Force for a little over 20 years. In her spare time, she loves to run, swim, bike, and relax with yoga.

Misty

Registered Dental Hygienist

Misty joined the Nabors dental team in 2020 and has 25 years of experience. She is married with two girls, and when away from work, she enjoys the beach, paddle boarding, traveling, and enjoying time with her family.

Kendall

Registered Dental Hygienist

Kendall is a registered dental hygienist and valued staff member. She is a favorite among our patients as she exudes positivity and compassion. Kendall has spent years caring for dental patients and is known specifically for her gentle touch and attention to detail.

Kendall uses her kind nature to effectively help educate patients about preventative care of their teeth. She grew up along the Florida panhandle and earned her degree at Pensacola State College. Outside of her hygiene profession, you’ll find her at the beach or on a boat enjoying the sunshine while searching for the next outdoor adventure with her husband and fur babies.
