Two Decades on the Magnificent Mile

For more than 20 years, Dr. Daniel Aneszko has practiced cosmetic and comprehensive dentistry inside Chicago's iconic Water Tower Place. A University of Detroit Mercy graduate, he completed a general practice residency at Loyola before pursuing some of the most demanding advanced training in the field.

His commitment to design and precision earned Water Tower Dental Care the American Dental Association's Design Innovation Award, a national feature in Dentaltown, and a perfect 5.0-star patient rating — all built on a foundation of biomechanically sound, lifelong care.
