Meet The Providers
Skill and compassion go hand in hand when providing exceptional patient care. As dental professionals, our dentists and hygienists stay up to date on the latest advancements in dentistry in order to provide the most current treatment options for our patients. They recognize that their patients are unique individuals who have placed a great deal of trust in their skill and in our team. This is just one reason why they value each and every patient relationship.

Dr Norton grew up in beautiful Calgary, Canada. In 2000, he graduated from Northwestern University Dental School, Chicago.

Dr. Norton’s areas of practice include General Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Implant Dentistry, Root Canal Therapy and Oral Surgery. Dr. Norton and his wife Kelly have four daughters and a young granddaughter, and they “enjoy” spending most of their time making sure that their girls make it to and from a busy schedule of music lessons and school activities. Dr. Norton also enjoys cooking, spending time outdoors, fly-fishing, and hanging out with his golden retriever “Stiggy”.

Muneeza Khan
RDH and BSC
Welcome to Advanced Dentistry. I am a laser-certified dental hygienist and have worked in the valley for 15 years. I got my degree in Washington State as a periodontal and restorative hygienist and received several awards throughout my training period. Prior to this profession, I had received my bachelor’s in English Literature and Mathematics. I’m passionate about the overall health and well-being of all my patients and love to utilize state-of-the-art equipment, such as digital X-Rays, VELscope, laser, intra-oral photographs etc, to provide the best dental care in the most comfortable environment. Your preventative care is my priority. Period. I spend time teaching my patients about prevention of gum disease, tooth decay, diagnoses and the maintenance of their oral health. Additionally, I am involved in smoking cessation and inform my patients of the adverse affects of smoking on oral and general health.
Winning my patients’ trust along with that of their colleagues, family and friends is paramount to me.
Aside from working at Advanced Dentistry and other clinics in the valley, I have years of international dental hygiene volunteer experience. I have worked in villages, orphanages and communities in developing countries where I trained dental office personnel and dental students about preventative care and how to incorporate dental hygiene in their daily regimen. I have also authored dental protocols to be implemented as part of a community outreach program. In 2014, I was honored to have won the Health Care Heroes award by Phoenix Business Journal for my endeavors as a dental hygienist.
I love my three adult children and my Havanese dog, Shona, who is also our office’s mascot, and love cooking and baking for all my family and friends. I am lucky to have learned several languages and love getting to know different cultures across the globe.
Shiersten Ghormley
Hi, my name is Shiersten Ghormley and I was born and raised in this great state of Arizona. I received the best training and education in the practice of Dental Hygiene and was able to graduate at the top of my class from Mesa Community College in 2020. Prior to hygiene school I acquired 7 years of dental experience as a Dental Assistant. My love for Dentistry only continues to grow as I learn more and gain more experience in the field. I look forward to educating my patients to the best of my ability and strive to provide the highest quality of care. The overall health of my patients is my number one priority and I love to see them leave with a smile on their face. When I’m not in the office I am enjoying time with my husband and daughter and living life to its fullest.
Meet The Team
Shona
Office Mascot
Welcome to Advanced Dentistry. My name is Shona and I am the mascot here. I don’t know exactly what that means but if you give our office great reviews, I will happily continue ‘mascoting’. Of course, if I get a doggie treat for my hard work, I am even happier.
Debi Rosario
Office Manager
Debi, our incredible clinic manager, relocated from Charleston, SC to Phoenix in order to be near family. She has worked in the dental field for many years with both clinical and front office experience.
It’s important to Debi to get to know each individual patient and build a relationship with them- which is her favorite part of her job. She takes pride in exceeding patient expectations. Out of the office, Debi likes to travel, spend time with her family, volunteer, and explore all that Phoenix and surrounding areas have to offer.
Shireen Khan
Treatment Coordinator
Since I was a child, I was always fascinated by healthcare and the dental field. I am passionate about dentistry and taking care of people. As the office manager of advanced dentistry, I always aim to ensure that our office and our patients develop secure and trusting relationship. I deeply care about our patients, and I will always do right by them!
Last year, I was given the opportunity to travel to a third world country for volunteer work at an orphanage. This was a life changing experience. It was so rewarding to be able to help teach these eager and adorable kids about the importance of their oral health.
Currently, I am a college student, getting my Bachelor’s degree in biology. Afterwards, I aim to either pursue a DDS or an MD. When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dog, friends or family! And my biggest hobby is traveling!
