About This Provider

Dr. Daniel Jurgens earned his DMD from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine after studying Molecular Biology at Kenyon College. He grew up in Decatur, Illinois, and built an early understanding of dentistry by working in a local dental practice every summer throughout grade school, high school, and college. That hands-on foundation shaped how he approaches comprehensive care today. Dr. Jurgens has a particular interest in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and stays current with advances in cosmetic and digital dentistry through ongoing education. He practices at Gentle Art of Dentistry, where the team prioritizes prevention, patient education, and long-term oral health over reactive treatment. His molecular biology background gives him a deeper understanding of the biological processes behind dental disease, which informs his diagnostic thinking and his commitment to evidence-based care. Patients looking for a thorough, prevention-first dentist with focused expertise in jaw function and cosmetic outcomes will find Dr. Jurgens brings both the training and the clinical curiosity to deliver lasting results.
