About This Provider
Dr. John Dale is the only Board Certified endodontist in Peoria, Illinois, holding the Diplomate credential of the American Board of Endodontics since 2008. With more than 21 years of dedicated endodontic specialty practice, plus five additional years as a comprehensive general dentist, he brings a clinical depth that most specialists cannot offer. His training includes a DMD from Southern Illinois School of Dental Medicine, a Hospital Dentistry Residency at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, and a Master of Science in Endodontics from St. Louis University. Service as a U.S. Navy dentist from 1995 to 1999 earned him Advanced Trauma Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support certifications. He served as Director of Endodontics for the OSF St. Francis General Practice Residency from 2009 to 2015 and has published research in the Journal of Dental Research. Patients consistently describe Dr. Dale as gentle, thorough, and virtually pain free, including during the injections. He performs more than 25 root canal procedures every week and treats each patient as he would want a loved one to be treated.
