"When I go home at the end of the day knowing a patient is no longer in pain, or that another is smiling for the first time in years, it's truly a satisfying feeling knowing that my team and I have made a difference," said Dr. Jeff Danner of Danner Dental in North Canton, Ohio.

With the enthusiasm of a recent graduate, and the experience of a seasoned professional, Dr. Danner combines exceptional clinical and chairside skills to provide each patient with individualized care in a warm and welcoming environment.

A native of Canton, Dr. Danner completed his undergraduate degree at Mt. Union College, where his concentration of study was in biology, chemistry and psychology. He then attended Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University’s College of Dentistry where he earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 1986. After practicing in Arizona for one year, he returned home and established the practice that is now known as Danner Dental.

"It’s truly hard to believe that I’ve been fortunate enough to have been practicing dentistry for more than 20 years already! There have been so many wonderful advances in that short time and I’m thrilled to be able to offer them to patients right here in North Canton,” he said.

With an unending quest for knowledge, he’s attained membership in many prestigious organizations and gained insight from leading dentists around the world who are heavily involved in research and development of techniques involving all aspects of patient care, including cosmetic dentistry, management of facial and TMJ pain, and the application of blue-tooth CAD/CAM technologies in the dental office.

Numerous testimonials from patients through the years, along with the opportunity to treat generations of families, and continuous referrals from existing patients demonstrate that the team approach to dentistry and the incorporation of world class techniques are meeting the needs of today’s dental patients.

Even with the tremendous offerings to patients, Dr. Danner keeps things in perspective: “We doctors love to talk about techniques and new equipment, but actually, it’s how we treat our patients and the highly professional level of care they receive that’s really important,” he said.

When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Danner enjoys spending time traveling with his family, and meeting the challenges of fatherhood. He and his wife Lee Ann have been married 22 years and have two children who each have diverse interests.

Their son Drake, 14, is an eighth grader at Canton Country Day School (CCDS), where he is a member of the school’s chess and robotic teams, and also participates in track and field events (shot put and discus). He enjoys swimming, golf and tennis in the summer, and paintball year round. An avid reader, he is often found with a book in hand - unless he's cheering on the Cleveland Cavaliers (or his sister - see below). Drake loves to travel and counts Australia as one of the coolest places he has visited.

At 10 years old, Kenlee lets very little get in her way, including her brother. She is a fourth grader at Old Trail School in Bath, Ohio, where her favorite classes are art, French and Spanish, and drama. She is also a member of the school's chess team. During the summer, she is a competitive swimmer, and also enjoys golf and tennis. Throughout the year, Kenlee spends many hours at ice rinks throughout northeastern Ohio as a goalie with a travel hockey team. When she grows up, she hopes to be both an artist and a dentist.
