Request An AppointmentBorn in a small town in the Peruvian Andes, Dr. Diana Shoe moved to the U.S. in 2005 after completing a seven-year medical school in four years in her native country. One of the top students in her class, she graduated from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry with ''great distinction'' (magna cum laude) in 2012. Then, she completed an additional year of learning on their Advanced General Dentistry program. Dr. Diana also studied at Penn State, York, and graduated magna cum laude from Life Science in 2008. She has the honor of being in the top 6% of dentists to have earned an Academy of General Dentistry Fellowship.
Dr. Diana is also a member of the American Dental Association, The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, The American Academy of Facial Esthetics, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, the Hispanic Dental Association, and the York Dental Society. She is committed to learning and advancing her knowledge of dentistry and facial esthetics, and she regularly attends specialized training offered by the world's leading dental educators. She frequently goes to courses at the highly regarded Spear Campus in Scottsdale, Arizona.
She also completed hands-on training with Dr. Marshall Hanson, the internationally recognized cosmetic dentist who developed the Marshall Hanson Method for non-invasive smile enhancement, and she applies his method in cases where preserving natural enamel with composite artistry is the best path for the patient.
Born in Huancayo, Peru, Dr. Diana is fluent in Spanish and English. She came to the United States when she met her husband Jason, an orthodontist. The couple married in 2005 and now have two sons, Dylan and Ian. The family lives in a farmhouse that dates back to the 1800s in Hanover. When Dr. Diana isn't practicing dentistry, she loves to exercise, travel, and spend time watching her sons playing sports.
Dr. Diana created the Facial32 Technique because cosmetic dentistry is not just about making teeth look perfect. It is about a smile that looks beautiful and also protects your health, your function and your confidence for years to come.
So before designing anything, she looks deeper. Missing teeth, broken or worn teeth, dark teeth, misalignment and jaw pain are not only cosmetic concerns; they are signs that the foundation of the smile needs care first. She treats that foundation, because the most beautiful smile is not just the one that looks good today, but the one that is healthy, balanced and designed to last. Then she looks at you: the shape of your face, the line of your lips, how much tooth shows when you speak and when you laugh. Only then does she design and sculpt teeth that fit those features naturally, so people notice that you look radiant, not that you "had work done."
Dr. Diana trained hands-on with Dr. Marshall Hanson, one of the most respected educators in cosmetic dentistry and the creator of the Marshall Hanson Method. His method focuses on enhancing smiles with direct composite, often without removing any enamel. When it is the right fit, Dr. Diana uses it within the Facial32 Technique, so you keep more of your natural teeth while gaining the smile you have been dreaming of.
"I have always admired the work of Dr. Michael Apa in New York, whose face-driven reconstructions are among the most beautiful in the world. I also know that most families here cannot travel to Manhattan for that kind of care. That is why I built Facial32: so the people of Hanover and South Central Pennsylvania can receive smile reconstructions designed with the same artistry and attention to the face, from a team that knows them by name."
