Christy Smith

Dental Assistant

A lifelong Winston-Salem native, Christy has been a dental assistant since 1992 and has worked alongside Dr. Owens since 1996, helping build Owens Dental from its very beginning in 1997. She holds her Dental Assisting National Board Certification. Outside the office, she loves hiking and cooking with her family, and spends her free time scrapbooking and restoring furniture.

Susan Holbrook

Dental Assistant

Born and raised in Boonville, Susan earned her Dental Assisting degree from GTCC in 1989. She’s been a dental assistant for over 30 years, joining Owens Dental in 2011 when Dr. Fred Smith retired — many of his patients came with her, so she’s now known some of them for three decades. She loves building relationships and helping patients feel at ease.

Stacey Leonard

Dental Assistant

Stacey graduated from Forsyth Tech’s Dental Assisting program in 2006, earning the Faculty Award at commencement, and joined Owens Dental the following week. Over 20 years, she’s built strong relationships with patients and co-workers, and is cross-trained to step in as office manager when the office manager is away. She lives in northern Davidson County with her husband, kids, and their cat, and loves lake days, travel, and cheering on her children’s sports.

Jim Bailey

Dental Hygienist

Born and raised in Southeast Michigan, Jim earned his dental hygiene degree from Wayne Community College. In 1987 he joined the department of dentistry at Wake Forest University, where he first met Dr. Owens — a working friendship that continues today. Now an empty nester with two grown children, Jim spends his free time traveling, hiking, attending concerts, and running.

Joy Jones

Dental Hygienist

Joy grew up in King, NC and earned her dental hygiene degrees from GTCC and later UNC Chapel Hill (and a lifelong Tar Heel fandom along the way). She joined Owens Dental in 2011 and has built patient relationships spanning nearly 20 years. Married with a blended family of four kids, Joy’s upbeat, positive energy always puts patients at ease.

Morgan Ashburn

Dental Assistant

Morgan keeps things running behind the scenes at Owens Dental, cross-trained in bookkeeping and scheduling to help wherever she’s needed. Outside the office, she loves spending time with her two boys.
