Meet Dr. Anjana Gupta
Dr. Anjana Gupta has wanted to be a dentist since she was 5 years old and feels incredibly lucky to share her profession and life with her amazing staff and loyal patients. Smiles on Niles is truly a dream come true, and she hopes her passion for dentistry is infectious. Dr. G joined the existing practice of Dr. Lisa McShane in June 2011 and became practice owner in 2017. Dr. G took complete ownership of the practice in 2020 (during a global pandemic!). She received her B.S. in biology at Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!) and earned her D.D.S. from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2007. Dr. Gupta is a long-standing member of the American Dental Society, Michigan Dental Association, Indiana Dental Association, Chicago Dental Association, and local Lakeland Valley Dental Association.

Dr. G enjoys the beautiful Lake Michigan beaches in the summertime, playing tennis, pretending to be a foodie, traveling, and most of all, spending time with friends and family.
