Dr. Ken Danyluk, or “Dr. D” as he is affectionately known by his patients, team and friends, is a dynamo…exuding warmth and caring to everyone he meets. He believes very strongly in treating everyone the way he would want to be treated…with courtesy, respect and attention to an individual’s needs. In addition, by combining a unique mix of a warm personality, energy, orthodontic expertise and a genuine concern for people, Dr. Danyluk is able to achieve one very simple goal for each and every person associated with our practice…an Extraordinary Orthodontic Experience!
Dr. Danyluk brings a very unique combination to orthodontics. Having practiced as a general dentist for 7+ years before pursuing his specialty training in orthodontics, he uses that experience in general dentistry, along with his expertise in orthodontics, to provide his patients with ideal coordination of orthodontic and dental treatment. An open line of communication with your dentist and Dr. Danyluk means you will receive the highest level of dental care possible.
Dr. Danyluk is a board certified orthodontist in the U.S. and Canada. He also holds the additional distinction for being a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists in Canada. Of all the orthodontic specialists in North America, he is one of the few that holds all of these qualifications.
When Dr. Danyluk is not creating healthy, great-looking smiles, he likes to spend his time with his wife, Jacquie, attempting to play golf, re-living his youth playing hockey, crooning on his guitar and enjoying the company of great friends.
