Daniel G Kline
While I have a busy family practice, my greatest expertise is in cosmetic dentistry. I began imagining smile improvement possibilities while in dental school where I was labeled “turtle man” because of a tendency to be a perfectionist and work rather slowly. After over 25 years of practice, I am still passionate about detail and quality. My dream of changing smiles comes true every day, but I am not quite so slow anymore.
I attended the University of Southern California School of Dentistry and finished my training in 1978. After opening a practice in Chandler in 1979, I experimented with the first bonding products and later used the earliest generation of veneers. Even though these efforts were crude by today’s standards I found a lot of pleasure in improving smiles.
My enthusiasm to positively affect the self-image of my patients prompted me to spend considerable time and energy becoming accomplished at creating appearances that were appreciated. I photographed much of my work. This was long before it was fashionable to be a cosmetic dentist. I was involved because I wanted to learn how to help in the best way. In 1986 I was accepted for membership into the American Society for Dental Aesthetics based largely on the quality of work displayed in my before and after photographs.
 I am blessed to continue being excited about learning and to find fulfillment in improving smiles and lives.
I am the father of three grown sons and have three granddaughters as well. My wife Sherry thinks that I might still be trainable so we continue to work on that. Favorite leisure activities include enjoying a variety of spectator sports. Tailgating at Cardinals games with Sherry and the boys gives my life a change of pace. Exploring Arizona both by car and on foot I find refreshing and invigorating. I also manage to read a little in the area of personal development.
