Dr. Cara Schroeder
Creator of Smiles
As a general dentist I have had the privilege of devoting my 25-year career to working solely with children and teens. I love the pure joy of working with young people and being able to positively impact their oral health and self-esteem.
Prior to earning my Doctorate in Dental Surgery from Ohio State University I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling from Boston University focusing on the needs of children, anxiety and behavior challenges. This advanced education has greatly enhanced the gift I strive to give to all my patients, a happy trip to the dentist!
I have been married to my husband Cordell for 38 years. We have been blessed with 4 children and 4 grandchildren. As I often tell my nervous, younger patients “I’m really nice. I am a grandma!”

Dr. Choi attended Case Western Reserve University, where she received her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree (DMD). She then completed her orthodontic training at the Saint Louis University Center of Advanced Dental Education. Dr. Choi found that being an orthodontist would be her life calling and a way to provide a life-changing experience for her patients. Desiring to achieve the highest degree of merit in orthodontics, Dr. Choi went on to obtain her board certification. Certification is a rigorous process that requires demonstration of exceptional competency to treat patients at the highest standards. Dr. Choi is passionate about giving patients the tools to improve their smiles and self-confidence.
