Celebrating Dr. Harold Smith

It is with deep gratitude and genuine honor that we celebrate Dr. Harold Smith and his truly remarkable dental career.

Dr. Smith’s journey began with service to our country in the United States Air Force—a foundation that shaped not only his clinical excellence, but also his discipline, integrity, and commitment to others. Those values have carried through every chapter of his career and have been felt by everyone who has had the privilege of working alongside him or sitting in his chair.

For more than 30 years, Dr. Smith has been a cornerstone of care for Indiana families. Generations of patients have trusted him with their smiles, and in return, he has delivered not only exceptional dentistry, but compassion, consistency, and a level of care that truly makes a difference in people’s lives.

Beyond his impact on patients, Dr. Smith’s influence within LADD Dental Group runs just as deep. He has played a vital role in mentoring and developing our doctors—sharing his clinical expertise, guiding decision-making, and helping shape the standard of care we strive to deliver every day. His leadership and willingness to invest in others will continue to ripple throughout our organization for years to come.

Please join us as we honor Dr. Smith and celebrate this incredible milestone:

📅 Friday, June 12th
⏰ 5:00–7:00 PM
📍 Inventrek Building | Kokomo, IN

We would love to see you there as we come together to recognize and celebrate a truly remarkable person, mentor, and career.

Thank you, Dr. Smith, for everything you have given—to your patients, your colleagues, and our community. Your legacy will continue to inspire us all.
