“It is with genuine joy that I introduce myself as the newest member of the Lake County Dental family. I am Dr. Annie Mirza, DDS, and have had the privilege of partnering with Dr. Potts to continue serving this community together. We are combining our shared passion for exceptional, patient-centered care under one roof and we could not be more excited to serve you.
“Dr. Potts has dedicated years to building something remarkable, growing what is widely regarded as one of the largest and longest-standing dental practices in Lake County, Illinois. The roots here run deep, and the reputation speaks for itself. I am truly honored to partner with him, and to stand alongside the wonderful team that has made this practice a home for so many families.
Treatment Philosophy
“I graduated from the University of the Pacific Dugoni School of Dentistry, San Francisco, California, one of the nation’s top dental schools, and have spent my career building expertise across multiple specialties. I practice conscious dentistry — the belief that the person sitting in the chair matters more than the procedure being performed. Before I treat the teeth, I want to understand the person, their fears, their hopes, their history and what a healthy, confident smile could mean for them.
Family and Background
“Beyond dentistry, I am a proud mom of two and believe deeply in active, conscious parenting. I value health and balance, staying active with gym workouts, pickleball, and badminton. I am an avid book reader with a deep passion for learning. Whether in the operatory, at home with my children, or lost in the pages of a book, I show up the same way every time — with purpose, balance, and genuine care.”
