I understand that many people find going to the dentist a stressful experience so I focus on giving 100% of my attention to making sure my patients feel at home and their experience is a pleasant one.
I am always participating in continuing education courses throughout the year, not only because it is mandatory, but I truly enjoy it! It allows me to stay current with technologies and treatment options for the best possible results for our patients. The professional organizations I am involved with include:
I am happy to brag that I have a great team! Sandi, our office manager, Jennifer, our hygienist, and Diana, our assistant, are all top notch. Not only do we work well together, but we genuinely like each other and have a good time while getting our work done. To borrow Sandis motto, Everyday is a good day!
Jennifer entered the world of dentistry in 1987 as a dental assistant. She completed her Dental Hygiene training at Southern Illinois University in 1992. Her professors nominated her to be inducted into the National Dental Hygiene Honors Society Sigma Phi Alpha.
Jennifer lives in the Lake County area with her husband of 30 years and they have 3 grown children. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, watching the Chicago Bears, scrapbooking, and attending the various sporting events of her children.
Diana graduated from the dental assisting program in 2014 and received her certification. She has her hands full taking care of her 2 kids who attend school in the area. In her free time she enjoys spending quality time with them and family. Diana joined Maple Family Dental in 2021 and loves her patients and team!

Your teeth are in good hands ! Skillful and deft dentistry will walk anyone easily through any pain management in this office. Generous numbing gel and precise injections are rest assured. Best of all are the calm and efficient staff . I'm happy to have gone to that office and will again !

Our dentist was rude and abrasive with my 8 year old daughter. She threatened to make me leave the room if my daughter did not comply with her demands. She was very unprofessional and lacked compassion.

Dr. Tina and her staff are so professional and truly care about their clients. I will continue to have all my work done there and will probably switch my family to their office, as well.

I could not be happier with the work of Dr. Tina Smith. The whole staff was just amazing . From the minute I walked in until the moment I walked out they were all very friendly and helpful . The night and day difference of my smile in only two visits is truly remarkable. I will go nowhere else. Thank you all so very much.
