Serving Veterans with Topnotch Dental Care

Dr. Stan Lowrance admits he didn’t know what to expect when he and the rest of his fantastic staff at Lowrance Dental in Rockwall hosted the first Dental Day for Veterans Day seven years ago. All he knew was that he wanted to organize something special for Veterans, and the mere thought of making a difference with free dental services gave him chills.

All these years later, Dr. Stan still gets those same chills, especially knowing how popular the local event has become.

“The first year, we had 50-something Veterans,” Dr. Lowrance said. “It’s gone up and up every year since, to the point where we managed to serve 81 Veterans last year alone. It’s a great feeling, and everyone keeps showing up to make a difference.”

Dr. Lowrance and his staff aim to serve 100 Veterans at this year’s event, slated for November 8. Once again, the festivities will be at Lowrance Dental, and the plan is to start at 7:30 AM and go until 5 PM. Patients — many of whom Dr. Lowrance says served in World War II — can expect to receive free dental services ranging from basic cleanings to emergency work and everything in between in an all-hands-on-deck atmosphere that only Lowrance Dental can create.

“It really has become quite the affair, and I’m constantly amazed by my team of professionals and the number of experts who give up their day off to serve Veterans,” he said. In 2020, Dr. Lowrance was honored with Rockwall’s Hometown Hero award for his efforts. “It’s a lot of work, and the first year we did it, I figured everyone would want to bail right around 5 PM. But no one wanted to leave.

“They were invested in helping and loved hearing the stories these Veterans shared.”

Heart for Serving

Lowrance Dental has always taken pride in making the most of its dental expertise — especially if it means going beyond the practice’s walls. Dr. Lowrance and his associates have helped countless Rockwall-area Veterans and partnered with the Terry Fisher American Legion Post 117 to expand their reach to Veterans in Rockwall and beyond. In total, over 40 professionals show up each year.

Unsurprisingly, Dr. Lowrance has done mission work worldwide throughout his decorated 43-year career. Locally, he epitomizes experience, family, and a thirst for knowledge. Dr. Lowrance earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at Baylor College of Dentistry in 1981. He furthered his education by completing studies at the Midwest Implant Institute of Columbus, Ohio, in 1991, where he received the Presidential Award. He also completed a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry that same year. While all that education was great, he has never had the mindset that he knows everything. Not a month goes by when he and his daughter, Dr. Shanae Lowrance, who joined the practice in 2019 after graduating from Texas A&M College of Dentistry, aren’t wrapping up another symposium or continuing education course. Dr. Shanae recently completed implant training, as well.

The same thirst for knowledge goes for the rest of their team, which includes Dr. Christina Leon and a growing support staff.

Having grown up watching her father treat patients like family and assisting him on mission trips, Dr. Shanae says, “My father would go to Mexico for mission work, and I remember going with him and wanting to learn how to help people in the same way he did. It felt like we were treating friends and family. I would watch over his shoulder and say, ‘I want to do that.’ To me, dentistry is about serving others. Alleviating a pain that someone cannot treat themselves has always been a rewarding aspect and reminder of why I do what I do.”

Combined, they offer everything from basic cleanings, fillings, and implants to wisdom tooth extraction, teeth whitening, Invisalign, root canals, scaling and root planing, ceramic crowns and veneers, oral surgery, and customized IV and oral sedation. Lowrance Dental’s ability to keep almost all dental procedures in-house creates convenience and cost savings and ensures you’ll receive the
highest-quality treatment with a
trusted dentist.

“What’s great is that we have different generations working as a team to add innovative treatments,” Dr. Lowrance said. “I’m fortunate to have a team that puts family and people first.”

A Staple of the Rockwall Community

Dr. Lowrance doesn’t deny that he’s been a dentist for quite a long time. In fact, he recently admitted that he had performed his first dental implant for a patient way back in 1987. And let’s not forget that, at one point years ago, he was one of only five dental offices for a Rockwall community that boasted 4,000 residents. Technology for general and cosmetic dentistry has improved tenfold since those days. The dental experience has also only improved for what has proven to be a growing and vibrant community, including having plenty of options for your oral health.

But residents continue to choose Lowrance Dental to keep their smiles looking great today, tomorrow, and for years to come.

“We never stop learning and adapting to the newest technologies to help our patients. More importantly, we spend time with you and treat you like family. And because of that, we could easily see our family-owned and run practice still being here for another 43 years,” Dr. Lowrance said.

At Lowrance Dental, it’s about creating beautiful smiles and healthy mouths — from one family and Veteran to another.
