Owens Dentistry is founded and run by Dr. J.C. Owens, a local 1997 graduate of Mt Carmel Area JR/Sr High School. After graduating from nearby Susquehanna University, he attended New York University College of Dentistry where he matriculated in 2006. He spent 2 months in American Samoa at the LBJ Tropical Medical Center before returning home to open his practice. Dr. Owens served locally as the Central Susquehanna Valley Dental Society President for 4 years.

In order to maintain the highest degree of excellency and proficiency in dentistry, Dr. Owens is constantly furthering his education in Dentistry, taking many more credits than the state requires.
