Dr. Daniel Whiteman’s path to dentistry blends science, artistry, and dedication. His love for science began during his undergraduate years, but his perspective shifted when he discovered sculpture at an art center in Montreal. Learning to shape clay and study the human form gave him a unique skill set that now defines his approach to dentistry—combining precision with creativity to craft natural, lasting smiles.
With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Whiteman has built a practice where dentistry meets artistry. At his in-house laboratory, he creates custom dental prosthetics that balance aesthetics and function. He was also an early adopter of dental loupes, long before they became mainstream, and continues to stay at the forefront of dental technology to ensure his patients receive the highest level of care.
What truly sets Dr. Whiteman apart is his patient-first philosophy. He believes in collaboration, taking time to understand each individual’s needs while delivering treatment with compassion, integrity, and meticulous attention to detail. Outside the office, he enjoys organic gardening, growing vegetables and hot peppers, as well as cooking, hiking, and spending quality time with his family.
