Get to Know the Dental Care Professionals at Dr. Jonathan L. Lowry, DDS, PLLC

Dr. Jonathan L. Lowry, DDS, PLLC

My family moved to the Rutherford County area in 1987 when I was a young child, and I have always known the Western North Carolina mountains and foothills as my home. I genuinely cherish this area and the wonderful people I have come to know and love.

My father was a non-denominational pastor and worked in the textile industry, so I grew up in a Christian home with high moral values and a strong work ethic. From a young age, I wanted to help people, and I always wanted to be a doctor when I grew up. However, it wasn’t until college that I decided to pursue dentistry. Several people influenced this decision, but my wife, Nicole, was the most important. We were only dating when I was a junior at Wofford College and needed to start working on applications to my next school, but I knew that our relationship was special and would result in something more. She told me that she was pursuing a career in dental hygiene, and I knew from then on what healthcare field I wanted to pursue. I am so glad I made this decision, and I love having the opportunity to work with my beautiful wife every day!


I worked in construction and cabinetry throughout my undergraduate studies and was honored to be accepted into Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, Magna Cum Laude, and then applied to the dental program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. At UNC, I was honored to become a Board of Governor's Scholar; this is a full scholarship program for NC residents who demonstrate high academic achievement in undergraduate studies and financial need. I maintained my scholarship for all four dental school years by excelling in didactic and clinical areas.


During my last year of dental school, I received the best graduation gift: a baby girl. Avery Shae was born into our family in April of my senior year at UNC, and I graduated in May—what a time that was! We were blessed with a son, Conner Owen, almost four years later. Many of our patients have come to know the children as they frequently come to the office with us, so you may see them running the halls or playing in their little playroom across from Mommy's office if you visit us. As far as hobbies or life outside of the office, right now, it's all about the children. I serve at our church in any capacity, and I am blessed with many friends and extended family who live close by.
