Dr. Shar has been practicing as a dentist for over 25 years since graduating from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. She is the founder and owner of Heartland Dental Assisting, which she began in 2011 and had accredited by the Nebraska Department of Education in 2016. She started this program as a more, “affordable education opportunity” for those unable to afford the expensive cost of the standard 2-year programs. She hopes with this program she can help others find fulfillment in a job that they love and can continue to learn and grow into for many years to come.

​Jordan and Makayla are both graduates of Heartland Dental Assisting. After completing the program, they both took a position as dental assistants and front office managers at Eagle Run Dental. When they are not helping keep the dental office running smoothly, they are bringing in new students to the program, as well as helping instruct and answer any questions they may have. They love getting to know all the new students that come through the program and helping them be as successful as they can.
