Meet the Team

Gina joined our team in February 2003, but she has been in the dental field for over 23 years. She absolutely loves her patients and visiting with them every day. She grew up in Laurel and loves the community she came from. She graduated from Montana State University (Go Cats!) and met her husband Tod there. After graduation they moved to the Billings area where they have raised their two daughters. She loves spending time with her family, traveling, game nights, and attending sporting events.

From Gina: I love the group of people I get to work with every day, and I am so grateful for our amazing patients!

I was born and raised in Billings where I attended Billings West High and Montana State University Billings. While my professional work background is in technology and insurance billing, dentistry has been such a welcoming and positive field. The most rewarding experience and my favorite part of this office is helping patients improve their overall quality of life through dental treatment. I feel very fortunate to be a part of Dr. Low’s team!

In my spare time, I love having fun with my beautiful teen daughter, and cuddling my handsome golden retriever, Sampson. I also enjoy coffee, reading mystery novels, and going to the mountains.

Samantha became part of our practice in 2022 shortly after moving to Montana from Austin, Texas. She was raised in a small town in Utah and received her Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Hygiene from Dixie State University in 2015. She has been practicing dental hygiene for 8 years. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and traveling.

From Sam: My love for dental hygiene began in my teens when I started working at a dental office. Not only did I love working in the healthcare field, I loved being able to see a patient’s demeanor change when they went through both restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. I love educating patients, because it is imperative to help improve and maintain their oral health; also, that education helps with understanding the connection of oral health and overall health. I focus on creating achievable goals with my patients and I really enjoy being able to meet new people, have fun conversations, and listen to their personal stories.

Jade graduated from Sheridan College in 2015 and then received a Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of Wyoming in 2016. She has been practicing dental hygiene for 8 years and is certified to give local anesthetic. She enjoys building a rapport with her patients and is driven to provide a personable experience with the highest quality of care.

Jade grew up in Scobey, MT where she previously worked. She enjoys ranching, roping, and training horses and cow working dogs with her fiancé and family. In any season, she loves outdoor activities whether it’s skiing and snowmobiling in the winter or water skiing on the lake in the summer.

Shelley has been in dentistry for over 30 years with the last 23 being a Registered Dental Hygienist, graduating from hygiene school in Florida. She has been at our practice since 2010. Shelley is native to the Billings area. She has two children and loves to spend her free time with family and friends, especially being involved with whatever her kids are doing!

From Shelley: I became interested in dentistry while still in junior high because my older sister was in the dental field. She taught me a great deal when we worked together, and we both eventually attended dental hygiene school together. My passion for this profession continues. I love meeting new people and being a part of their oral health and education. I have truly enjoyed the transition with Dr. Low and hope to be a part of this wonderful practice for years to come.

Dani joined our team as a dental assistant in July 2022 with nine years of previous experience. She worked with Dr. Low at a previous dental office and is very excited to work with him again at Billings West Dental. Outside of the office, she enjoys traveling, hiking, and spending time with family and friends. Dani and her husband Chad have two beautiful daughters, Peyton and Teagan.

From Dani: I decided to go into dentistry after 21 years of cosmetology. I decided it was time for a change. I am currently CDA and CPR certified dentistry is a great field because it continues to have advances in technology. I love learning something new every day at my job. I also love the patients, and hearing their stories, calming anxiety, and becoming someone they trust. I love working with with Dr. Low because he’s an amazing dentist! He exudes honesty, and integrity, and has compassion for every patient that he sees.

Sharon has been a dental assistant in Billings for more than 30 years and finds great joy in meeting and helping people every day. Sharon grew up in Chicago where she studied ballet. As a dancer, she travelled the U.S, Canada, and Spain. She also sang in a rock band, and she kept the guitar player afterward!

Sharon has loved making Billings her home over the last three decades. Fitness and holistic health are a big focus in her life. She taught yoga for 11 years and still studies and practices it daily. She has a weakness for books and stray animals; her house is filled with both! Her free time is also spent with music, gardening, and exploring healthy recipes.

From Sharon: I have had the good fortune to work with, and learn from, the best dentists in Billings. My luck now continues with the opportunity to work with Dr. Low. He sets the bar high for himself every day. This inspires me to meet that same level by continually improving my skills and all responsibilities of my job. The goal is to make every task I do as a dental assistant, both big and small, add up to an exceptional experience for each patient’s visit.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is the chance to help patients feel confident and comfortable during their appointment. I have learned it is as simple as listening with compassion and respect. The real bonus is the amazing and inspiring stories so many people have shared.
I am blessed to work with a team of smart, talented, and enthusiastic professionals. Our office has a fun, energetic feel that makes it easy to love my job!

From Dara: I enjoy assisting because every day is different, and you never know who will walk through the door that day. There is always room for continuing education and skills to be learned so the work continues to be exciting and new. I feel like there is truly never a boring day.

Keri started working at the office in early 2023 but as Dr. Low’s wife she has been behind the scenes supporting his dentistry since he started dental school.
