Dr. Joshua Smith

B.S., Physiology, Michigan State University | D.D.S., University of Michigan Dental School

Dr. Smith’s personal philosophy is to never stop learning. He continually adopts successful techniques and treatments as they evolve, providing his patients with the best possible care. Dr. Smith is committed to the best continuing education dentistry has to offer. He brings this focus on education to his patients by helping them understand the best way to care for their teeth and why it’s so important. He often uses examples, demonstrates techniques, or uses videos or brochures to help explain what needs to be done and what to expect; because of this, patients trust him. That trust often leads to a better dental care commitment.

I grew up in the Grand Rapids area attending Jenison High School. After I graduated I headed to Michigan State University to study Physiology and was inspired by our family dentist to consider dentistry. I was accepted into the University of Michigan Dental School in 2002. Graduating in May of 2006, life went full speed ahead. I married my wife Mollie, whom I met at MSU, moved back to our hometown in Grand Rapids, and began my career at Grand Rapids Dental Partners.”

“Mollie and I have 3 boys. Carter was born in 2010, Beckett in 2012, and Eli in 2013. It amazes me how different all three are. Carter is our athlete who loves rock climbing, soccer, basketball, and anything Legos. Beckett is a true sweetheart who puts me to shame in front of a basketball hoop and also is the biggest MSU basketball fan I know. Eli, our youngest, just recently started downhill skiing on his own and loves animals any size. As a family, we enjoy heading up north, usually to the Torch Lake area. Our family time is most often spent on a boat in the summer, or a ski hill in the winter. Life is an adventure and I look forward to the continued memories that will be coming my way.

I love dentistry, because I like making people happy with their smile again.

Dr. Mike Flores

Indiana University School of Dentistry

Dr. Mike Flores had an interest in science and health at an early age, and was encouraged by his orthodontist to explore dentistry as a career.  He has also been inclined towards the arts, particularly music, his whole life.  He loves how dentistry is a great blend of both art and science. Dr. Mike enjoys having the privilege to get to know and treat all types of people, and helping them improve their oral health wherever they are. 

Dr. Mike attended Indiana University School of Dentistry and graduated in 2009.  He started in public health before moving to private practice, and had the opportunity to be a part of a dental mission trip in Valladolid, Mexico serving those in need in the surrounding Mayan villages.
