Dr. Michael T. Smith
Dr. Michael Smith was raised in New Melle, a small town in Missouri. He attended St. Louis University High School, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and finally SIU School of Dental Medicine, graduating in 2011. Dr. Smith joined Dr. Feder in 2013 as an employee and decided to invest his future in Belleville by purchasing the office in 2017.
He joined the Illinois Army National Guard in 2009 and is currently a Lieutenant Colonel serving as the Illinois State Dental Officer. During the summer of 2022, he deployed overseas to Poland to provide dental care to US soldiers stationed throughout the country. Currently, Dr. Smith spends his duty weekends in Springfield, Illinois screening soldiers from across the state for dental problems and administrating the national guard’s statewide dental health program.
Dr. Smith enjoys spending time restoring his 1860s home, where he lives with his wife and children. He is also interested in fitness, healthy eating, woodworking, automotive repair, and meeting the office’s IT needs. He recently rekindled his passion for wrestling both by coaching and training for competition!
Excellent dental care! Dr Smith was gentle, friendly, and highly professional. I was referred to him by my family dentist for some specialized work. Dr Smith and his staff made me feel comfortable and relaxed through the whole procedure. I cannot say enough for this professional and his entire office staff. I am happy to highly recommend Dr Smith for any and all your dental needs. Definitely 5 stars!
