established in 2018
The story of Oaks Dental Designs started in 2004, when our owner, Jill Swafford, was just a senior in high school. Who could have know all those years ago that a part-time, after-school job would grow into a passion and would determine her future career path? She was hired at a local dental office in town to file charts (yes paper ones). This was her introduction not only to how smiles were maintained, but often times dreamed of and created. After years of assisting, financial coordinating and managing, the lab was opened in 2018. Since then the principles that we stand on are:
Take care of the patients as if they were sitting in front of you.
Do what you say you are doing to do.
Be proud of what goes out this door.
Always keep it “Made in the U.S.A.”.
We believes that our chair-side experience gives us a unique ability to communicate the requirements of the lab to get that perfect fit expected and needed by the doctor. There are two completely different languages spoken in these two divisions of dentistry; our ability to speak both is an asset to your office in more ways than one.
We look forward to working with you and thank you for entrusting us with your patient’s results.

Our Team
Jillian Swafford
With almost 20 years in the dental industry, you are in good hands with Jillian. She knows all too well the importance of an efficient seat appointment and Oaks is designed to give doctors and their teams just that. She is a renowned speaker and educator who is passionate about seeing others succeed.
Personally, it all started when high-school sweethearts decided to take their chances & take on the world. Jillian is a positive encourager who believes anyone can conquer anything as long as they give it all they have. Her family loves God and they give him glory for all their successes.
Both Jill & her husband Aaron grew up in family businesses & knew at a young age what it meant to put in a full days work. Being raised a farmers kid or in a family owned business comes with plenty of sacrifices, but the rewards are far greater than one knows at the time.
Her family loves the beach, making memories & chocolate. Heidi is a dancing, necklace wearing, tom boy in the making; while Finn is a music loving, joke telling, gentleman.
Eiron Simmons
Eiron joined us in 2020, & is quickly became a major asset to our lab. She is someone that can take something & just run with it. Eiron may be designing, milling, pouring, or brainstorming. You never know what you will walk in & see her doing, because she is so quickly picking up new things.
Being willing to always keep learning, to never settle & to keep pushing are major components of Eiron’s personality. We are so blessed to have her on our team & look forward to years of growth with her.
When Eiron isn’t making new smiles, you can find her being all in with her role as a wife & boy-mom. Her entire family loves God, loves America & loves the part of the country we live in.
Olivia Davis
Olivia joined us in 2022. Let me just say that her design abilities are AMAZING. Olivia is always up for our crazy ideas, whether it is building a patio or building a new smile, she’s in. Very quickly Olivia became an asset in the lab with her design skills and her can do attitude!
We are blessed to have this young talent in the lab to work alongside and watch her grow. She is the smiling face dropping off cases, who brightens up any room.
Fun fact about a Olivia she has a twin sister named Paige who is also in dental, rocking it as a Dental Assistant. Olivia loves God and spending time with her chocolate lab Baxter. Baxter loves her more than her twin Paige.
