Dr. Dale has been practicing Endodontics for over 21 years.

After living and practicing Endodontics in the Milwaukee area for over three years, Dr. Dale opened his current Endodontic office in February 2004. He opened his second location adjacent to Illinois Central College in 2016 to aid in serving patients who live and work on that side of the Illinois River. In 2008, after seven years of treatment and study, Dr. Dale became a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics. He strongly believes that this, combined with his five years experience as a general dentist, contributes to him being able to give his patients the best of care as well as working closely with his general dentist colleagues. He adamantly believes in the vital importance of continuing education, and stays current with the latest in Endodontic procedures and research. He utilizes the latest Endodontic procedures, diagnostic and operative equipment, and practices evidence-based Endodontics to assure his patients receive the best surgical and non-surgical treatment possible. He is the most experienced Endodontist, and the only Endodontist who is Board certified by the American Board of Endodontics, in the region.

Known for his warm and gentle personality, he prides himself in spending time with patients to explain procedures while providing treatment as gently and quickly as possible, and to the highest of standards. Dr. Dale believes in treating each patient as he would want his loved ones to be treated. His staff is highly trained and second-to-none, warm and friendly, and practice the same treatment philosophy, as well!

Over the years, Dr. Dale has pursued many hobbies. He is currently a high school and college baseball umpire, is well-versed in playing many musical instruments, and is currently studying cello under a renowned cellist and conductor/musical director.

He married his wife, Sarah, in 1994, and they have one daughter, Elizabeth, both of whom Dr. Dale is extremely proud! As a family, they enjoy travelling to new (and some familiar) places to pursue their outdoor loves of hiking, kayaking, boating and fishing. At home, their interests include classic movies and literature, art, music, and simply being together. They are active members of St. Mary’s Church in Kickapoo.
