Her passion is helping patients feel comfortable and smile confidently. Meghan completed dental health vocational school and holds licensing in radiology (x-rays).

She is happily married with a beautiful stepdaughter, Nataline. Meghan and her husband welcomed their son, Weston, to their family in 2021. When she’s not hard at work helping patients smile, Meghan enjoys staying active with her family, getting pampered, and organizing everything (though she does some of that around the office too).

Jenna

Jenna

Dental Hygienist

Hi, I'm Jenna! I am a registered dental hygienist at Smiles of Chesterton. I am from Hobart, Indiana where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from Indiana University Northwest. Prior to my time with Smiles, I worked and lived in downtown Chicago for a few years post college. My favorite thing about dentistry is the ability to form a relationship with my patients while building confidence in their smile. I also enjoy motivating and educating my patients (no lecturing here!) on ways that they can better their oral hygiene. Outside of dentistry- I enjoy traveling, trying new restaurant spots, and spending time with my friends and family. I look forward to meeting you!
