Meet the doctor
Dr. Dankowski is well versed in all areas of General Dentistry. Dr. Dankowski has developed a very special interest in the CT-scan Guided Dental Implant surgery. At the heart of his philosophy on patient care, is an attempt to come up with the most cost effective and the most lasting treatment solutions for all of his patients. He believes that an ability to attentively listen to the patients' needs is the most crucial trait that a dentist can have and holds himself to this philosophy with each and every patient. Dr. Dankowski especially loves children and while his youngest patients keep him happy and positive all day long with the funny things they say, they perpetually inspire him to be the kindest and most caring dentist.
In his spare time during the summer, Dr. Dankowski can be found sailing on Lake Michigan. Dr. Dankowski is a big dog-lover and has strong reverence when it comes to protecting animals. He also likes to attend theatrical performances of all varieties and tries to see as many classical and jazz concerts as he can. Dr. Dankowski lives with his daughter Lauren who is competitive figure skater.
