Jon Silcox, D.D.S., M.S.
Dr. Jon Silcox has always strived for excellence in everything he has done. He graduated Magna Cum Laud from
Brigham Young University and as the Senior Student of the Year in the Department of Physical Education. After earning a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Exercise Physiology at BYU, he began his pursuit of a dental career at the
University of North Carolina. Dr. Silcox received his D.D.S. degree among the top of his class and was honored as a member of the national dental honor society, Omega Kappa Upsilon. Immediately following his dental training, Dr. Silcox was accepted to the prestigious 3-year orthodontic residency program at the University of North Carolina where he earned a certificate and a master’s degree in orthodontics. Subsequent to his official training, Dr. Silcox joined the orthodontic faculty at UNC, where he taught residents and dental students clinical orthodontics and also worked outside of academics in a private practice.
Only months prior to finishing his orthodontic training at UNC, Dr. Silcox was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer called
Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). Of course, this unexpected turn of events carried him and his family on a life-changing journey. He underwent chemotherapy and received a life-saving bone marrow transplant less than five months after diagnosis. Dr. Silcox was able to make a complete recovery and now enjoys his second chance at life. Of all the honors and degrees Dr. Silcox has earned, the title he is most proud of is "Survivor."
