Meet Dr. Yolanda Wright-Lowry, DMD

A Peoria native, Dr. Wright-Lowry’s passion for dentistry started early. After graduating from Limestone Community High School, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Indiana State University. Her academic excellence earned her a Dean’s scholarship at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, where she completed her doctorate in dental medicine.

To further her training, Dr. Wright-Lowry completed a residency program at OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria. There, she provided dental care to underserved populations, children, and patients with special needs. This experience reinforced her dedication to delivering compassionate and comprehensive dental services.

A Commitment to Excellence and Community

Dr. Wright-Lowry is an active member of the Peoria District Dental Society, serving as an Illinois State Dental Society Delegate alternate and participating in the Give Kids a Smile (GKAS) program. She is also a long-standing member of the American Dental Association (ADA) and regularly expands her expertise through continuing education in implant placement, cosmetic dentistry, and holistic dental care.

Beyond her professional work, Dr. Wright-Lowry and her husband, Ryan, are proud members of the Peoria community. Together with their four children, they actively support local initiatives and organizations. In her free time, she enjoys exercising, traveling, and spending time outdoors with her family and friends.

At The Smile Center, our goal is to help every patient achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. Whether you need routine care, cosmetic enhancements, or specialized treatment, we are here to serve you with skill and compassion.
