Dr Kate Lowe, BDSc

Principal Dentist & Co-owner

Dr Kate Lowe is a principal dentist and proud co-owner of Singleton Smiles, a practice she has called home since the very beginning of her dental career.

Kate's path to dentistry was a happy accident born of passion and mentorship. Originally set on becoming a physiotherapist, she was working part-time as a dental assistant between university degrees when an influential mentor saw something special in her and encouraged her to follow in his footsteps. That nudge changed everything. Kate went on to complete her Bachelor of Dental Science at Charles Sturt University, building on an earlier Bachelor of Applied Science in Exercise & Sports Science from the University of Sydney, and graduated at the end of 2014.

She joined Singleton Smiles as a new graduate dentist in 2015 and never looked back. Recognising her dedication and vision for the practice, Kate was invited to buy in as a partner in 2019, a role she has embraced wholeheartedly ever since.

Passionate About People

For Kate, the most rewarding part of her work is the people, both the patients she serves and the incredible team she works alongside. With patients, she finds deep fulfilment in helping those who are nervous or fearful discover that a dental visit doesn't have to be daunting, in restoring confidence through smile transformations and in building lasting relationships with families across the Singleton community.

Her team is equally close to her heart. Kate is proud to lead a group of passionate young women who bring energy, care, and genuine warmth to every patient interaction. "We all consider each other family," she says, and it shows.

Life Beyond Dentistry

When she's not in the chair, Kate can often be found at the beach with her husband and young children, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen or planning the next stamp in her passport. A seasoned traveller, she has visited six of the seven continents and has just one left to tick off. She also has a serious appreciation for a great cup of coffee.

Those who know Kate well might be surprised to learn she spent years teaching children to swim–including a stint at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). She was also an avid waterskier before family life (happily) took over her weekends.
