Meet Dr. Zachton Lowe

Dr. Zachton Lowe is proud to call this community home. Born and raised in Edmonds, he attended King’s High School—just down the road from our office. His journey into orthodontics began with a passion for helping people achieve confident, beautiful and healthy smiles through expert care and genuine connection.

Dr. Lowe earned his dental degree from the University of Washington School of Dentistry, where he graduated valedictorian of his class. He was inducted into the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society and received the Quintessence Award for Excellence in Restorative Dentistry. Following dental school, he worked as a general dentist in Boston before completing his orthodontic residency at Boston University, where he served as class president and earned his Master of Science in Dentistry (M.S.D.). He looks back fondly on his time training under renowned orthodontist Dr. Anthony Gianelly.

In 2009, Dr. Lowe returned to Shoreline to join and take over his childhood orthodontic practice and serve the community that raised him. He brings advanced training and extensive experience in cutting-edge orthodontic technologies, including 3D radiography, TADs (temporary anchorage devices), clear aligners (invisalign), laser-assisted treatments, and surgically facilitated orthodontics.

Dr. Lowe is deeply involved in the dental and orthodontic community, participating in—and often lecturing at—numerous professional organizations, including:

  • American Dental Association
  • American Association of Orthodontists
  • Washington State Dental Association
  • Washington State Society of Orthodontists
  • Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists
  • Seattle Study Club
  • Jet City Study Club (Founder)
  • Après II Study Club
  • ORCA Study Club

Outside the office, Dr. Lowe enjoys a full and vibrant life with his wife, Dr. Nikki Chin, a general dentist. Together, they share a passion for continuing education, travel, food (ask him for restaurant recommendations!), and movies. They have twin daughters, Jemma and Zoe, and a son, Davis. Dr. Lowe cherishes coaching his kids’ basketball teams and spending time outdoors golfing or running. He’s also a lifelong fan of the Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders, and is still holding out hope for the return of his beloved Seattle SuperSonics.
