Dr. Tyler Owens grew up in St. George, Utah. Upon receiving his bachelors degree in Biology from Brigham Young University, he attended the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health. Dr. Owens participated in multiple mission trips to underserved areas of the world, where he discovered his passion for pediatric dental care. Treating children during these trips led him to complete his residency and training at NYU Lutheran Pediatrics.
Dr. Owens and his wife, Kristen, have four children: Ryan, Ryder, Olivia, and Charlotte. When he is not in the office, Dr. Owens loves outdoor activities, learning new things and spending time with his family.
A board-certified pediatric dentist, like Dr. Owens, has gone through a rigorous examination process with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Only dentists that have completed a residency in pediatric dentistry can sit for the board certification examinations. Board certification tests the knowledge and problem-solving abilities of a pediatric dentist.
Dr. Mark Gilstrap is a Pediatric Dentist at Jenks Pediatric Dental in Jenks, Oklahoma. He was born and raised in central California, and attended Brigham Young University after serving a mission in Denver, Colorado. After graduating from BYU, Dr. Mark attended dental school at Roseman College of Dental Medicine, where he grew passionate about working with kids! He then returned to Colorado to complete his pediatric dental residency. Needing a change of pace, Dr. Mark and his family moved to Oklahoma in 2020. They are so excited to call Oklahoma home!
As a child, Dr. Mark enjoyed going to the dentist, especially when he could hold the mirror during his check-up! After high school, he had the opportunity to work as a pediatric dental assistant. From then on, he LOVED going to the dentist! When he isnt seeing our incredible kiddos, you can find Dr. Mark traveling or spending time with his wife and three daughters: Emma, Addy and Zoey. He is always on the hunt for good food spots and the best wings in the world. (Recommendations are encouraged!)
Were so excited to welcome our newest part-time Dentist, Dr. Ariel Espinoza, to the Jenks Pediatric Dental family! Dr. Espinoza is a Dallas, Texas girl who loves to play soccer, run, hike, and go to Chick-fil-a! Fun fact: her husband is also a Dentist, so theres a lot of teeth talk at home! She was also on the Barney show as a child! She cannot wait to meet our incredible patients and their families!
Dentistry is the perfect marriage of my two passions, art and science. Throughout my professional life I have always entertained and educated children. For 20 years I illustrated childrens books and school textbooks. Helping children become engaged in reading was very rewarding. Today, as a Pediatric Dentist, I use my artists eye and hand coordination to improve my patients smiles and health. I am dedicated to maintaining my patients healthy teeth through excellent dental care. I also teach patients and parents oral hygiene practices that will, if used daily, significantly reduce tooth decay
Our household could be described as a Zoo! My family consists of my wonderful wife Leslie, and our 3 children. In addition, we could also include 1 dog, 2 cats, 2 fish, 1 guinea pig, 12 chickens, 4 goats, 2 sheep and a 2-foot long bearded dragon!
When not doing dentistry, I devote my time to family. I enjoy working with my family on our acreage. When not attending to land, gardens or animals we also enjoy boating, archery, martial arts, drawing and playing video games.
Lori attended Broken Arrow High School and attended Oklahoma State University where she studied Business and Marketing Go Pokes! She has worked in the dental field for almost 30 years total 20 of those years she spent working in Pediatrics!
Lori has three grown children: two daughters and a son, and three grandchildren. When Lori isnt in the office, she loves to travel to Arkansas to spend time with her family, shop, craft and design jewelry.
Loris favorite part of working with children is seeing them grow confident in their smiles and easing their dental anxiety. She also loves watching her patients grow up and bring children of their own into the office!

Went in for my 3year old daughters cleaning, we just moved here so I needed to find a new dentist. I'm sorry to say that I was not impressed. I was a bit disappointed how they handled my very nervous daughter. Without getting a very thorough look, she told me that my daughter needs a bunch of work and to come back and they'll sedate her so they can get a better look. didn't ask how her brushing habits are or what products I'm using. I will not be returning.

The dental hygienists and dentist were all very friendly and patient with both of my toddlers (2&3). The environment was very clean but also very kid friendly. Scheduling and set up were easy. Very happy with our experience here.

I give two stars because the doctor was amazing but staff was terrible, overbearing and rude. The doctor was so sweet and patient with my daughter. But the assistants and even the billing lady tried to force me to not be in the room with my daughter. The doctor told me it was completely fine for me to be with my child but the assistants and billing lady continued to pester and go behind Dr joys back to get me to leave the room. I find it to be a huge red flag when staff tries to convince me to leave my child alone with them and for that I will not ever go back, nor recommend them. I will also let the dentist who referred me know not to refer them again.

They handled all 4 of my boys at once in one appointment! Informative, helpful, and clear. All the information given to me at one time with multiple kids was a lot to take in! Tip: Get a bag for all "the things." Ortho referrals, paperwork, insurance info, kids toothbrushes, etc.

Excellent experience here. My 6 year old son has autism, & dentist visits can be quite stressful for him. After our first visit, we knew he'd need to be sedated to get accurate X-rays. Dr. Karl and his team did an awesome job of comforting not just my son, but myself and my wife during that process. I 100% recommend this place to anyone struggling to find a good dentist for their child. Especially if you have a child with special needs. Thank you Jenks pediatric Dental. Keep up the great work!

They did great. The technician was super sweet and patient with my kiddos, especially my 4 year old. The dentist was informative, kind, and took time to answer my questions. They have TV's with Netflix so the kids have a distraction during cleanings and little toys for the kids afterwards.
