Meet Dr. David Dominguez
There is nothing more rewarding than having a career you are passionate about. Thankfully, dentistry is that for me. I sincerely love what I do each day. For me, this is the ideal mix of art and science, paired with the opportunity to make an impact in the lives of others.
My patients are at the heart of everything I do, and why I focus so much of my attention on personalized care. Each person has a unique smile and situation; whether that be routine care, a dental emergency, or the desire to enhance their smile cosmetically. Each of these individual goals gives me the chance to create a genuine connection through quality care and personal compassion. It is my honor to deliver the treatment that will transform their lives for the better.
Education and Experience
Working with Fairview Dental allows me to not only work alongside a great team, but also serve my hometown community. Growing up I was a student at Holy Angels Catholic School and West Aurora High School. Shortly after high school, I began working as a carpet installer. While I gained an immense respect for the hard labor that industry requires, it also taught me that it wasn’t the right path for me. I began attending Waubonsee Community college where I excelled in the sciences. That led me to apply to the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology.
Through more exploration, I came to realize dentistry was the field that I was meant to be in. I earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine from UIC College of Dentistry, where I was awarded the Dr. Karl H. Hallwass Award for Clinical Excellence. I then gained invaluable experience while on clinical rotations throughout Chicago, Colorado, and Guatemala.
Over the years I have been proud to hone my craft and expand my expertise in new ways. I strive to be the best dentist I can be by taking classes to stay updated on the latest technologies and methods, and by surrounding myself with professionals I can learn from. I am a member of the American Dental Association, the Illinois State Dental Society, the Chicago Dental Society, as well as the Aurora Dental Society where I served as President from 2021-2022.
In the Community
As a dentist, I understand it is my obligation and honor to make my community a better place. I find pride and joy in mentoring the younger generations and giving my time as much as possible. I have been an active participant in providing free dental care through Donated Dental Services, along with taking part in the Dentist with a Heart program, and Aurora Christian Health. I am also a member of the Aurora Sunrise Rotary Club.
Outside the Office
When I’m not working with patients, I can usually be found spending time painting, enjoying the outdoors, or with my amazing family. My wife Monica and I are raising our two children, Camila and André, in North Aurora. We are proud members of the community and excited to be part of the Fairview Dental family.
