About Dr. Rana Stino
A gift for the smile
"Smiling — it's such a simple action and yet so powerful," Dr. Rana Stino says. "I believe that every time you smile, it's a great gift to others. Helping my patients be comfortable to share the best part of themselves is truly one of the most rewarding things in my life." That warmth defines her practice at Water Tower Dental Care on Chicago's Magnificent Mile.
A remarkable education
Raised in a creative home of architects, Dr. Stino excelled from an early age — she was already attending the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor by sixteen, graduating with high honors. She went on to earn her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and completed a general practice residency at MetroHealth Hospitals. From there she pursued years of advanced training with the Las Vegas Institute and the Hornbrook Group, with CEREC training in Scottsdale, focusing on esthetics, full-mouth rehabilitation, and Invisalign.
Whole-body dentistry
Dr. Stino evaluates every patient comprehensively and thoughtfully, stressing the importance of oral health in relation to whole-body health. Using the latest technology — lasers, salivary testing, and intraoral scanners — she formulates a customized plan so each patient clearly understands their dental health and how to maintain it for years to come. Her expertise even extends to the comprehensive oral care of patients with nutritional disorders, work she has shared in professional publications. Away from the office, she brings that same big smile home to her husband and their children, Zain, Faris, and Laila.
