Dr. Robert A. Lowe received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loyola University School of Dentistry in 1982, where he graduated magna cum laude and second in his class. After graduating, he completed a one-year residency program at Edward Hines Veterans Administration Hospital.

He served for 10 years in a full and part time capacity as an Associate Clinical Professor of Restorative and Rehabilitative Dentistry at Loyola.

 Dr. Lowe went into private practice in Chicago after completing his residency, at which time he began to pursue another passion: clinical teaching. While running his own practice, Dr. Lowe served as a part-time lecturer of restorative and rehabilitative dentistry at Loyola University School of Dentistry. In 2000, he relocated to Charlotte. Dr. Lowe’s dedication to educating the dental professionals of the future has led to a number of honors, and he continues to be in demand for professional dental care lectures given his expertise and insight.

In 2005, he was nominated to receive Diplomate status on the American Board of Aesthetic Dentistry. This is an honor shared by fewer than 50 dentists in the entire United States.

Throughout his career, Dr. Lowe has also written hundreds of articles on dental care and dental health topics, many of which have appearance in highly-regarded professional dental publications. He has published a monthly column in Dental Products Report and was a contributing author to the recent textbook Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry – Principals and Practice.
