Dr. Olga Smutko was born and raised in the small European country of Belarus. After studying ballet for eight years at the Belorussian National School of Ballet, Olga moved to Gilbert, Arizona where she attended Gilbert High. She then spent four years at Arizona State University studying microbiology.

After college, Olga was accepted to the University of the Pacific Dental School in San Francisco. She graduated Magna Cum Laude and began her practice of general dentistry, where she quickly realized that although she liked dentistry, her true passion was surgery.

Upon this realization, Dr. Smutko applied and was accepted into the oral and maxillofacial surgical residency at the University of the Pacific/Highland Hospital, where she received extensive training in dental implants and related procedures, maxillofacial trauma, orthognathic surgery and anesthesiology.

After graduating, Olga joined reputable Berkeley-Orinda Oral Surgery, where she continued to practice the full scope of oral surgery for 7 years prior to relocating her young family back to Arizona.

Dr. Smutko’s particular areas of interest include pediatric oral surgery, dentoalveoral surgery and implants, and orthognathic surgery.
