Lt. Col. Nicole Smith, DMD, serves as Chief of Dental Services at the 375th Operational Medical Readiness Squadron Dental Clinic at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois. As a prosthodontist in a military setting, Dr. Smith brings specialist-level restorative expertise to a patient population with high health and readiness demands. Prosthodontics is one of nine American Dental Association-recognized dental specialties, requiring years of advanced training beyond dental school in restoring and replacing damaged, missing, or severely worn teeth. Dr. Smith's dual identity as a clinical specialist and a U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel reflects a standard of accountability rarely seen in civilian dental settings. She also extends her commitment to care beyond the base, participating in annual Give Kids a Smile events that provide no-cost dental services to children in the surrounding community. For eligible beneficiaries at Scott AFB, access to a prosthodontist at the installation level is a meaningful advantage that many military dental clinics do not offer.
