Meet Dr. Stan Lowrance

DR. STAN LOWRANCE DDS, FAGD

Dr. Stan Lowrance is a well known dentist in the Rockwall community. He graduated Claude High School in 1973, went on to West TX State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree. He then continued his education at Baylor College of Dentistry earning a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree in 1981. He opened his dental practice in Rockwall that same year.

Dr. Lowrance furthered his education by completing studies at Midwest Implant Institute of Columbus, Ohio in 1991 where he received the Presidential Award, the highest honor given to the graduation class. He also completed a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry in 1991 and was named Who's Who in Outstanding Americans. Dr. Stan has received many prestigious titles:

Rockwall Noon Rotarian of the Year (1988)

Rockwall Noon Rotarian President (1995)

Rockwall Area Man of the Year (1999-2000)

Rockwall ISD trustee (2004-2011)

Rotary District 5810 Rotarian of the Year (2001)

Dr. Lowrance with his wife Cyndie, have two daughters, Chloe and Shanae. He has been involved in foreign dental missions since 1987 and enjoys raising Shorthorn cattle, basketball, scuba diving and a variety of other sports and events in his free time.

Considering his own early experience, dentistry wasn’t a natural career choice for Dr. Stan Lowrance. “I hated going to the dentist as a kid,” he remembered. “It was scary. There was so much fear of the unknown. As a kid, I remember being held down in the dental chair and being aware that something horrible was happening to me.”

Then Dr. Stan met someone. “He was this really nice guy who just happened to be a dentist,” he said. “He took time to answer my questions, explain what he was going to do and why. I realized that going to the dentist didn’t have to be a frightening experience.”

He never forgot the contrast. “When I see someone who’s nervous, or even scared the way I was, it’s time for me to stop and get to know them,” he said. “I allow a minimum of an hour for every new patient. Part of that time is spent chatting, addressing any fears, questions or concerns they have. I never want anyone—of any age—to feel the way I did at the dentist as a kid.”

Meet Dr. Christina Leon

DR. CHRISTINA LEON DDS

Dr. Christina Leon grew up in Flower Mound, TX where she was an active member of the Flower Mound High School drill team and graduated at the top of her class. She went on to continue her studies at Southern Methodist University, where she took Biology prerequisites for dental school,  was a proud member of Chi Omega sorority, and received a degree in Bachelor of Business Administration. Knowing she wanted to pursue a career in dentistry, she moved to California to attend a formal post-baccalaureate program at San Francisco State University to strengthen her background in Biological studies. While there, she was able to participate in community outreach clinics such as CDA Cares where volunteers, dentists, and dental auxiliary came together to provide free dental services for the under-served community in the state. Patients were able to leave the clinic on the same day out of pain and with a huge smile on their face. These events further grew her passion to pursue dentistry. Missing her true Texas roots, she moved back to Dallas to attend Texas A&M University College of Dentistry for her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Her favorite part of being a dentist is providing a positive experience for her patients and giving them the confidence to smile. Dr. Leon is excited to join the Lowrance Dental team and serve the greater Rockwall community. Outside of the office, Dr. Leon enjoys traveling the world with her husband, dancing, cycling and spending quality time with her friends, family and pups. She is also a current member of the American Dental Association & Texas Dental Association.

Meet Dr. Shanae Lowrance

DR. SHANAE LOWRANCE, DDS

Dr. Shanae grew up in Rockwall, TX where she graduated from Rockwall-Heath High School. She went on to attend Tarelton State University where she received a bachelors degree in biomedical science and was a scholar collegiate athlete on the women's basketball team. In May 2019, Dr. Shanae graduated from Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry and came to work under her father at Lowrance Dental.

Dr. Shanae loves working with people and truly making a difference. Her passion for dentistry started in high school while assisting her father Dr. Stan on dental mission trips in Mexico. In the summer of 2018, she was given the opportunity to travel to Africa with 5 other dental students to provide dental treatment for the people of Ndola, Zambia while also helping train their dental students.

“Dentistry in general 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. I strive to create family like relationships with my patients and provide the most comfortable environment possible.”

Dr. Shanae married her husband, Randall Henderson, in 2017 and they have a dog named Henry. She and her husband attend Lake Pointe Church in Rockwall where she is a small group leader for the high school girl’s ministry.
