Dr. Smith grew up on a small farm 20 miles east of Newton. He decided to pursue a career in dentistry because it was a practical way to combine his enjoyment of both science and art. After completing his dental education at the University of Nebraska, he practiced in Virginia and Florida before returning back home to Kansas.

Dr. Smith is a member of the American Dental Association, Kansas Dental Association, and has completed advanced education studies at The Dawson Academy, Spear Institute, and Chasolen Education and Research Center. He feels that a smile is one of the best attributes a person possesses and enjoys working to keep that smile healthy and long-lasting.

Out of the office, Dr. Smith enjoys spending time with his wife and four children. They enjoy traveling and have visited more than 50 National Parks. Other interests of Dr. Smith include hunting, woodworking, and reading.
