Meet Our Dentist
Dr. Ghada Adhami, DDS
Dr. Ghada Adhami graduated from Benedictine University in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. She continued her education by attending the University of Illinois College of Dentistry and graduated in 2010 with her Doctorate of Dental Surgery.

Shapiro Scholarship.
Upon graduating from dental school, she completed a General Practice Residency Program at the Jesse Brown Veterans Administration in Chicago. During this residency, she developed advanced technical and patient management skills. These skills allow her to confidently manage and treat more difficult dental problems and operate a successful practice. Here at her own practice, she continues to provide care for former service members by being one of the few dentists in the local community to work with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Over her 15-year career as a dentist, she has practiced in a variety of dental settings. She has extensive experience treating children, as she has worked for many years in pediatric clinics. Practicing in general-practice family dental clinics, she has provided treatment to patients of all ages with a variety of dental problems. She has also worked with both the Douglas County Health Department and the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, providing care for the underserved in the Central Illinois community, and was a clinical dentist at Parkland College’s Dental Hygiene Program, teaching the next generation of dental hygienists.
She is a proud member of the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, Illini Dental Society, and the Academy of General Dentistry. As a lifelong learner, she enjoys taking multiple continuing education classes to keep herself up-to-date in all the advancements in dentistry. She completed a Comprehensive Dental Implant Training course by the Aspun Dental Implant Research and Education Center. Since this training, she has gained extensive experience in surgically placing and restoring dental implants. She has also taken multiple orthodontic courses, including Invisalign; she is a certified Invisalign provider and has treated numerous patients with clear orthodontic aligners.
At her practice, she makes treatment recommendations solely with her patients’ best interests in mind. She strives to explain the procedures she recommends for each patient and why these procedures are recommended in transparent and easy-to-understand ways.
Dr. Adhami is a devoted mother of two children. She enjoys spending time with her friends and family. In her spare time she enjoys photography, traveling, and baking.
Meet Our Staff
Jill
Dental Hygienist
Jill is a 2005 Illinois Central College Dental Hygienist Program graduate and joined All Smiles Family Dentistry in early 2024. With over 18 years of hygiene experience, she has come to love patient education and compasionate patient care. In her spare time, she enjoys spending quality time with her family; most of the time, she and her family can be found watching their favorite TV shows, such as Fargo, The Chosen, Alone, Master Chef, Kitchen Nightmares, and/or their favorite hockey team—go Black Hawks! If asked to describe herself she’d probably say she is happy to be living life.
Brittany
Patient Relations Representative
Brittany has been in customer service for years and joined All Smiles Family Dentistry in late 2022. She is a proud wife to her husband, James, whom she married in July 2021. She enjoys music and is an active member on her church’s music committee. If asked to describe herself she’d probably say she is a “class clown” with an outgoing personality and loves to laugh and enjoy life; she’d say she is a caring soul that lives to help others in any way she can.
Matt
Dental Assistant
Matt joined All Smiles Family Dentistry in late 2022, though he has been a dental assistant since early 2021. He entered the field of dentistry by chance, not by design, but has since proven himself a capable dental professional and team player. In addition to assisting during procedures, he works to keep the clinic well-stocked and organized. If asked to describe himself he’d probably say he’s a perfectionist and “giant nerd” with a mental repository of useless trivia.
Lisbet
Dental Assistant
Lisbet joined the All Smiles Family Dentistry team in early 2023. She is currently attending Parkland College with the goal of graduating from its Dental Hygiene Program. Knowing she wanted to be a hygienist from a young age, working with us has only reinforced her passion for dentistry. She also provides a vital service to our Spanish-speaking patients as our office’s Spanish translator. If asked to describe herself she’d probably say she’s ambitious and caring.
Dental Student Interns
Dental Assistant
All Smiles Family Dentistry is proud to take on student interns from various universities, including the University of Illinois. Through their time with us, these aspiring dentists learn the ins-and-outs of their future field and see how a dental office functions during day-to-day operations. They gain guided, hands-on experience with chairside assisting, clinical sterilization and sanitization, provider-patient interactions, and dental office logitics. Each student usually spends a semester with us.
Our Practice
All Smiles Family Dentistry has served our community since 2018. Our facility is a stand-alone, 3,600 sq ft building located near Marketplace Mall. It is easily accessible, being located near two Interstate highways serving the Central Illinois area, and has undergone major renovations with an emphasis on modernization. We provide comprehensive, high-quality dental care using the latest peer-reviewed research, modern standards of care, and state-of-the-art equipment.
