Dr. Darius Smith

A Chicago native, Dr. Darius B. Smith majored in biology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee in 2011. While attending dental school his outstanding clinical abilities caught the eye of several specialists, who mentored him both during and outside school hours. The specialists ranged from oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists.

Dr. Smith also participated and continues to participate in several community health, dental and medical initiatives. Through a highly selective process, he was awarded the privilege to work with the Indian Health Service on an Indian Reservation. On the reservation he continued to expand his knowledge of dentistry while being able to learn the need and value of dentistry worldwide. He witnessed quality care truly did make a difference in people’s lives.

Dr. Smith’s passion for dentistry allowed him to realize that one field of study was not enough, so he sought out a program that would be both challenging and allow him training from multispeciality doctors. Realizing they were very few that offered this specific type of training, he applied and matched at one of the top programs in the US, which did offer the caliber of training he seeked. Dr. Smith furthered his education at the University of Texas Health Science Center where he received training in an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency. This residency differed from many of it’s kind due to many of his trainers being leaders, lecturers and pioneers in the dental field of research and in advanced and complex dentistry. This advanced program provided vigorous hands on and didactic training that required daily training by multispeciality entities on medically compromised patients. The program’s minimum requirement was to treat patients on the same level as a specialist, however it’s philosophy required treatment of patients from a multifactorial thought process. This multifactorial philosophy was simple… patients need a dentist with more than one discipline or speciality to receive maximum treatment they deserve, which was why a formal training was needed and paramount to this philosophy and quality of service and care. This is the training that Dr.Smith received, which has also allowed him to be trusted by so many fellow dentists to treat their most precious patients, whom they wouldn’t trust to just anyone.

Since becoming a Doctor of Dentistry Dr. Smith has had the opportunity to polish and perfect his skills in oral surgery, periodontal surgery, IV sedation, implantology, prosthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, restorative, and endodontics on thousands of patients. Daily Dr. Smith is referred by several dental offices and specialists to provide care to medically compromised, mentally challenged, complex, esthetic, surgical and restorative patients.

In his free time Dr. Smith enjoys spending time in church, with family, friends, travelling the world, taking advanced dentistry courses, cooking, volunteering, participating and viewing many athletic sports, learning about different cultures, has been known to do adventurous activities like skydiving, white water rafting, bungee jumping and various other activities.

Dr. Smith is professionally affiliated with the Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, Chicago Area Health and Medical Program, Houston Minority Dental Society, and various study clubs. Being apart of a multiplicity of organizations, he is able to remain current in his field and provide high quality treatment to his patients.

Dr. Smith is very passionate, caring and knowledgeable about dentistry. He looks forward to serving your needs and giving you the excellent care you deserve. Dr. Smith understands people have various complex needs and will find a treatment that exactly fits each unique case. Dr. Smith also offers IV sedation for those patients who have dental anxiety or just might not be able to deal with stresses that certain dental procedures can bring. He looks forward to serving your needs.
