Dr. Jon Owen
My name is Jon Owen. I am 46 years old, a lifelong resident of Southern IL, and have lived in the Metro-East for 20 years with my wife and two children. My hobbies include hunting, fishing, golfing and attempting to stay physically fit. I grew up in Sparta, IL and graduated from Sparta High in 1993. After earning a bachelor’s degree from Mississippi State University, (Go Dawgs!), I started my career in the St. Louis area; the largest part of which was spent in pharmaceuticals. I returned to school at SIU School of Dental Medicine and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Doctorate of Dental Medicine. I currently hold the office of Secretary with the St Clair District Dental Society, have memberships with the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society and spent many hours of continuing education.
After years of treating patients in the Metro East, I am pleased to be joining the lovely community of Smithton. In keeping with the ethical mission of dentistry, achieving and maintaining your oral health is my primary concern. I, too, will treat esthetic and cosmetic needs to the highest expectation. I look forward to meeting each of you at your next appointment!
