Craig L. Smith, DDS
Dr. Smith was born and raised in Milwaukee. He is a graduate of University School of Milwaukee. Following high school, Dr. Smith attended Ripon College where he majored in biology and enjoyed a Hall of Fame career on the basketball court. Following his time at Ripon College, Dr. Smith attended the prestigious Marquette University School of Dentistry, where he graduated in 2001 and was selected as a National Health Corps Scholar. As a Scholar, he provided much needed dental care to underserved populations of Monroe County and LaCrosse, WI. This is where he met his better half, Joanie. He thrives on continuing education and has completed over 575 hours of supplementary training and courses. This includes over 190 hours of advanced training in dental implants and over 180 hours of advanced training in orthodontics. Dr. Smith follows a very simple principle in the office, and that is to treat everyone as if they are family.
Dr. Smith and his family moved back to the Mequon area after 8 years of private practice in Phoenix, AZ. Outside of dentistry, Dr. Smith enjoys spending as much time as possible with Joanie and their three beautiful children, Amara, Lauryn and Isaiah. As time permits, they enjoy being an active part of the community. While the old knees do not allow for basketball anymore, Dr. Smith does enjoy reading, hiking, cycling, and spending as much time as possible outside with their dog Kimber (Cane Corso).
