About this Event
Meet the speaker:
Dr. Jones served in the US Air Force after high school and worked as a structural journeyman renovating and constructing facilities for 6 years. After completing his service obligation, he attended Boise State University for his undergraduate studies. He then attended Case Western School of Dental Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio where he was recognized for excellence in prosthodontics and esthetic dentistry. During his 1st year of dental school, he was selected for one of the US Air Force’s competitive health profession scholarships. While in dental school his exposure to more challenging patients ignited his passion for solving complex dental situations, which led him to apply for a prosthodontic residency.
Immediately following dental school, he completed the US Air Force’s 8-week commissioned officer training course; he was a distinguished graduate and commended for his remarkable leadership skills. He then attended the prestigious advanced prosthodontic residency at the historic Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. He concurrently attended the University of Texas Health Science Center and earned his Master of Science in biomedical sciences for his research on the link between bruxism and obstructive sleep apnea. Because of his exceptional clinical skills and aptitude for education, he was assigned to be the prosthodontic instructor for the Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency in Omaha, Nebraska. He was responsible for educating and mentoring dentists on advanced restorative and prosthodontic techniques. This included many didactic and clinical hours of education working side by side with each resident. The following year, he successfully challenged the rigorous 4-part ACP examination to become the only board-certified prosthodontist in Idaho; a distinction less than 15% of prosthodontists hold. After more than 13 years of US Air Force service, he began the next chapter of his professional career by entering private practice at Boise Prosthodontics in Idaho.
Dr. Jones’s practice focuses on tooth and implant rehabilitations by utilizing the advances in digital dentistry to provide the best care to his patients. He helps run a long running study club locally that helps general dentists’ treatment plan patients in their own practices. He is also involved in organized dentistry, serving as a Trustee member for the Idaho State Dental Association.
He shares 4 children with his wife of 25 years, Becky. When he’s not at work, he can be found spending time enjoying the beautiful scenery that Idaho has to offer; hiking, camping, and exploring with his family. He also enjoys riding his dirt bike, watching movies, playing basketball, and running.
