AboutJared M. Smith DMD

Becky passed October 2025 after 50 years working in the same practice. She was deeply loved, and will be greatly missed, by patients and staff a like. She first worked with Dr. Gangle, and then with Dr. Smith for the last 23 years. She was truly one of a kind. She was originally from Ohio, but moved to Canon City with her family in 1975. She always wanted to be in the medical field and she got her chance when she became a dental assistant in 1975. She loved her work, especially meeting and getting to know people more fully. She also believed in giving back through community service, such as her volunteer work with Colorado Mission of Mercy and 9 Health Fair. When she was not working Becky enjoyed traveling, walking her dog, reading, quilting, and doing genealogy. We all feel very fortunate to have had the years with her by our sides.

When you walk in the front door to our office, the fist smiling face you will see will likely be that of Taylor, our administrative assistant. She loves the work she does in the office, and is always ready to help make your patient experience high quality. Taylor is a Cañon City native. In her free time she enjoys cooking and is an avid reader.

Kelley has been a resident of Canon City for more than 47 years. Having grown up with a mother who worked in a dental office it only made sense for her to pursue her own career in the dental field. Kelley feels working for Dr. Smith has been the best choice for her and she has been working for him since 2009. Her current role in the office is as the lead dental assistant. She is unmatched in her skills and training assisting with major procedures including dental implants, Cerec crowns and bridges, along with 3D imaging, root canal treatment and many others. Kelley volunteers annually to work with Dr. Smith at Colorado Mission of Mercy to provide oral health care to those in need. For Kelley the part she enjoys best about what she does is helping others. When she is not at the office she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, camping, and quiet time at home.
