As dentistry struggles to take its place as a primary contributor to patient’s overall health, we need leaders and visionaries.  Dr. Susan Maples is one such leader and visionary.  Dr. Maples has taken it upon herself to create a path for others to follow.  This path expands the scope of dentistry beyond the common dental maladies of the mouth to contributing substantially to the management of her patients’ total health.  In a nuts and bolts manner through her own imagination and commitment, Dr. Maples has built her dental practice into a total wellness practice.  Dr. Maples is the prototype of the oral health professional that is needed as dentistry and dentists become part of an integrated care delivery model.

Over the course of five decades in dentistry I have heard hundreds of speakers. A percentage of those held my attention throughout their lecture and taught me more than I could have imagined. Dr. Susan Smallegan Maples is one of them. She is ultra-smart, dedicated and passionate about dentistry and the whole health initiative.  Susan is one of those dentists who doesn’t just talk her subject….she LIVES it daily. If you are looking for a forward thinking speaker who inspires and connects with every member of the audience, Susan is it. Besides building a fabulous practice in Michigan, she has built a dream team of coworkers who are as dedicated to her patients, her vision and her success as she is. A gift every dentist wishes for.
