From Tiny Tykes to Great Grands — We Keep Everyone Smiling

At Orland Family Dental, our team is more than a group of professionals — we’re a dental family with deep roots in Riverside. From your child’s first visit to regular care in your golden years, we’re here for every chapter of your smile journey.

With decades of combined experience and a legacy that spans three generations, we bring a blend of compassionate care and clinical excellence to everything we do. And yes, we love what we do — and it shows.

Our Dentists

Dr. Gina F. Orland

General Dentist, Owner

Dr. Gina is proud to carry on the tradition her parents started nearly 50 years ago. After graduating from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in 2007, she joined the practice and officially took the reins in 2009. A dedicated leader even in dental school, Dr. Gina was class president and received multiple awards for leadership and service. Today, she continues that legacy — offering gentle, thoughtful care to patients of all ages.

She is a proud member of the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, and Chicago Dental Society. Outside the office, you’ll likely find her spending time with her two boys or planning their next trip to Walt Disney World.

Dr. Cassie K. Albert

General Dentist

Dr. Cassie brings fresh perspective, clinical precision, and a warm chairside manner. A St. Louis native and Butler University alum, she graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in 2019 and joined Orland Family Dental. Dr. Cassie stays up-to-date on the latest dental innovations through ongoing continuing education and is involved with the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, Chicago Dental Society, and Xi Psi Phi Dental Fraternity.

When she’s not in the office, she enjoys traveling, painting, and hanging out with her pup.

Dr. Shannon Scott Shannon

General Dentist

Dr. Shannon has been part of the Orland Family Dental team since 1998. She earned her dental degree from State University New York at Buffalo in 1996, where she represented her peers as the American Dental Association student representative for three years. After completing a general practice residency at Michael Reese Hospital (serving as chief resident), she brought her passion for people-centered care to Riverside.

She’s also an active member of the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, and Chicago Dental Society, and spends her time outside the office with her four children — three boys and one girl.
