Meet Dr. Moran
Jennifer Moran, DDS
“Smiling is my favorite.” – Buddy the Elf”Creating beautiful smiles is MY favorite.” – Dr. Jen Moran
As a pre-med student at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, I discovered that dentistry was the perfect fusion of my two greatest passions: science and art. This realization led me to apply early to The University of Illinois College of Dentistry, where I was accepted during my junior year. From that moment, my journey toward the most fulfilling career imaginable began.
In 1997, I founded Water Tower Dental Care, and I am incredibly proud to have watched it grow into one of the nation’s top dental practices. Our culture and team are the driving forces behind our vision—delivering the highest level of care through exceptional communication, cutting-edge technology, and comprehensive, customized smile makeovers.
After raising my four children—Meghan, Avery, Ethan, and Peyton—returning to Water Tower Dental Care has reignited my passion for helping patients achieve the smiles of their dreams. My focus is on creating undetectable, natural-looking, and beautifully crafted smiles while ensuring every patient receives unparalleled care in a warm, welcoming environment.
I am committed to lifelong learning, continuously advancing my expertise through education and training to stay at the forefront of dental innovation. Every smile transformation begins with a patient-centered approach, taking the time to understand individual needs and crafting customized solutions for healthy, radiant smiles. Beyond dentistry, I love traveling and spending time with my children, my husband, Chuck, and our three doodles—Milo, Maverick, and Goose. My artistic passion extends into painting with oils and acrylics, as well as my “side gig” as a scenic artist, designing and painting sets and props for local theaters.
