About This Provider
Dr. Jamie Smith is a board-certified pediatric dental specialist and the founder of Growing Smiles Pediatric Dentistry in Peoria, Illinois. She completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery and pediatric dental residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry, where she served as Chief Resident. She also earned a Master of Science in Oral Sciences, with research focused specifically on the dental health of children with special needs in the Peoria community. Dr. Smith holds active hospital privileges at OSF St. Francis Hospital, where she performs dental care under general anesthesia for children whose needs exceed what a standard office setting can safely accommodate. She also teaches pediatric dental residents at OSF St. Francis Medical Center. Her commitment to children with special needs is both professional and deeply personal: her brother has special needs, and her daughter was born as a micro-preemie, driving her ongoing involvement with the Children's Hospital of Illinois. Growing Smiles has earned recognition as the Journal Star's Best of the Best in pediatric dentistry. Dr. Smith was named one of Peoria Magazine's 40 Leaders Under 40 in 2016 and holds Diplomate status with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
