We strive to improve accessibility to affordable dental care and pride ourselves on patient experience, health, and happiness.
Mission Statement:
Increasing access to care is the catchphrase of organized dentistry. At C U Smile we really believe in this concept. Our goal is to increase access to comprehensive dental care for all patients including low income group families, geriatric patients, patients with special needs, children, and especially to patients who are apprehensive to visit the dentist. Our competent and caring dentist offers compassionate and comfortable care to all those in need in central Illinois.
“I will boost your confidence by improving your smile!”

Providing Access to Care.
Dr. Hawa is a caring and experienced professional who has been practicing since 1998. She was born in India and moved to the USA in 1995. She graduated with honors from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine where she received her DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) in 1998. She received the Robert Zug-Smith award for excellence in academic achievement. She has also received her MDS (Master of Dental Medicine) in Oral Medicine and Radiology from the University of Bombay. Dr. Hawa has over 20 years of experience in the traditional office setting and she has also worked in nursing homes and a hospital treating medically compromised patients. She now resides in Champaign, Illinois with three sons, a beautiful daughter, and her husband, who is a Neonatologist at the Carle Foundation Hospital. Fine arts is her hobby, she is a perfectionist and it reflects in her dentistry as well!
While volunteering at the Community Clinic, in Topeka, Kansas, a not-for-profit organization offering dental care to under represented individuals, she realized that there is a tremendous need of dental services for people with no access to dental care. Children, the elderly, infirm, or institutionalized groups are the patients Dr. Hawa is most passionate to help. Instead of a traditional office environment which can be intimidating and make people uncomfortable, Dr. Hawa has opted to invite her patients into her home office for the experience of having your own personal dentist. “Providing access to care” is the motto of C U Smile and Dr. Hawa is committed to improving the dental health of all of her patients and making care more accessible and affordable.
“My patients are my family. Nothing makes me more happy than the satisfaction of seeing a happy, healthy, and beautiful smile!”
-Dr. Hawa
