Dr. Shelby Jones, DDS, is a general dentist with nearly three decades of experience and a career that has taken him from Air Force bases across the country to the heart of Oklahoma, where he now serves patients at Affordable Dentures and Implants in Checotah. Dr. Jones earned his accelerated Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry and Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in 1997, completing one of the most rigorous combined programs in dental education.

Dr. Jones brings a calm, skilled approach to every patient interaction, shaped by years of high-stakes clinical work in demanding environments. He believes that great dental care starts with listening and that every patient deserves a personalized plan built around their unique goals and comfort level.

Following graduation, Dr. Jones completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency with the United States Air Force, serving at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas and later at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas. By 1999, he had risen to serve as Chief of Oral Surgery for the remainder of his military tour, a role that sharpened his surgical skills and his commitment to high-quality, efficient care. After separating from the Air Force in 2001, Dr. Jones established a private practice in Enid, Oklahoma before joining Affordable Dentures and Implants, where he has been dedicated to serving patients ever since.

Outside the office, Dr. Jones is a passionate professional BBQ competitor who takes his craft as seriously at the smoker as he does in the operatory. He loves spending time with his wife Shana and their three children at the lake, catching the latest movies, and exploring new destinations through travel. His warm, grounded personality is just as present in the chair as it is everywhere else in his life.

Everyone was really nice and professional. They said it would take all day and believe them, it'll take all day but it was worth it. My dentures look great. Ill probably have to have another visit for adjustments but that's typical. The staff had everything running smoothly and I recommend going here to everyone.

My dentist and assistant went the extra mile to make me feel at ease for an extraction. They gave me small breaks when I asked due to the problems with the tooth. Going to the dentist has always been apprehensive for me, but they put me at ease. Thank you for making my experience so much better. Delena Williams, Stigler, OK
