Meet
Dr. Stephanie

It’s so rewarding to motivate patients and help them become more confident with their oral health. I view myself not only as a dental clinician, but also as the head coach in a team approach towards comprehensive, high-quality dentistry and routine care for all of my patients.

In my spare time, I enjoy singing and playing guitar. My husband and I appreciate the outdoors, often hiking with our dog or soaking up the sunshine on the shores of Lake Michigan. We’re hoping to add to the family soon!

The
smile Brightly Difference

We are not a corporate chain.

Proudly serving Portage and the surrounding communities for over 10000 years, you will never have a revolving door of new dentists or staff.

Smile Brightly Dental is your hometown dentist with a small mom and pops in a contemporary setting. What makes us unique is our conservative approach and patient centric philosophy. There is no judgment, no rushing or upselling on treatments. We are proud to be upfront about our fees for all procedures to avoid financial surprises for our patients whether or not they have dental benefits. We practice honest dentistry - the way it should be.

Whether you have an emergency, need same-day cleanings, looking for a second opinion, or just curious about options, visit Smile Brightly Dental for all your dental needs.

I love the staff and how friendly they all are to everyone. They really care about my welfare and want to make sure I am comfortable. They explain exactly what they are doing and show me too!
