Why Did You Become a Dentist?

“I enjoy the science and engineering that are involved in planning to treat a comprehensive dental case. It’s a great thrill and privilege to convert a dentally crippled patient back into a fully functioning individual. It can completely change someone’s life, and I’m so happy that I get to be a part of it.” – Dr. Gary Nawrocki

Where Did You Study Dentistry?

Dr. Nawrocki received his Doctorate in Dentistry from the University of Florida in 1980. Over the decades, he has completed thousands of hours of continuing education, including taking courses at the Pankey Institute, the Seattle Institute, and the Spear Educational Institute in Scottsdale, AZ. He has also studied cosmetic dentistry at Louisiana State's Dental School and advanced aesthetics with the Rosenthal Institute of New York.
