Dr Dan Czerniecki was born and raised in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. He received both his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and his Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of British Columbia. He then went to Williams Lake B.C. where he practiced as a dental associate for 4 years, gaining valuable experience in all aspects of general dentistry. He returned to the lower mainland where he practiced in Burnaby, sharing his clinic with Dr Clement Lear, former head of the Orthodontic Department of UBC. There he developed his skills and a keen interest in orthodontics. He subsequently moved to New Westminster where he has practiced for the past 12 years. “Dr. Dan”, as he is referred to by the many children in his practice, believes strongly in patient-centered family practice. He enjoys the challenge of meeting the unique interests and needs of his patients with careful consideration and a high standard of care.

When he is not in the office, Dan can often be found in his yard, where he spends long hours in his bird and bee-friendly garden. He also enjoys an active lifestyle with a special interest in hiking snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
