                           Laighton D. Jones DMD
  

 

           Dr. Jones attended Alkali Creek, Castle Rock, and graduated from Skyview in 1995.  Dr. Jones then spent 2 years serving the people of Japan as a missionary for his church.  Upon returning from Japan Dr. Jones met his bride, Katie (also a Billings native).  Dr. Jones continued his education at Ricks College and BYU before venturing to dental school at Case School of Dental Medicine in Cleveland, OH.  He quickly became a die-hard fan of the Cleveland Indians as well as the Cavs and Browns and remains a fan today.  After his first year of dental school Dr. Jones used his summer break to gain more experience by assisting Dr. Kinney here at the clinic. 

                Dr. Jones graduated from dental school in 2006, then joined the US Air Force and furthered his education with a residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, NE.   During his residency Dr. Jones became skilled in oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, and overall comprehensive dental care.   After graduating from his residency Dr. Jones utilized his dental skills at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.  Dr. Jones provided dental care to military personel as well as staffed in the AEGD program. 

                                                                  In the summer of 2008, Dr. Jones served our country by deploying to Kirkuk, Iraq.  While in Iraq he provided dental care to US soldiers as well as local Iraqi people.  He also performed critical medical treatment, helping to save life and limb of combat injured patients.  Dr. Jones served above and beyond his call of duty earning many medals and honors including the Air Force Commendation medal, the Army Achievement Medal, the Meritorious Unit Award, and the Iraq Campaign Medal.  He was also fortunate to be able to serve in Operation School Supplies to help the children of Iraq get the equipment they need to attend school. 

                After returning home safe from Iraq he continued his work at Eglin Air Force Base.  While he loved serving in the Air Force, he knew it was time to come home to Billings.

                Ten years, six states, eight homes, and four children later, Dr. Jones and his family can call Billings HOME again.
