Dr. Melissa Jentz grew up in Buffalo Grove, IL and recently moved to Geneva with her husband Mike to start the dental practice of her dreams. She attended Indiana University in Bloomington for undergrad where she received a BS in Biology. Dr. Jentz then went on to the College of Dentistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago - Class of 2001. She then became an associate in a large, busy practice in Lake Zurich, along with teaching in the emergency department at the UIC dental school. Currently Dr. Melissa Jentz is growing Geneva Family Dental and teaching at the UIC dental school.

Dr Jentz chose Geneva to open her practice because the people are so wonderful and genuine, the town is lively and beautiful, and Geneva is where she wanted to settle down, raise a family, and grow a family dental practice that she and the community can be proud of. She is very active in the community, volunteering to teach grade schoolers about dentistry during dental health month along with mentoring future young dentists.
