Dr. Mark Niekrasz earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Loyola University, and he graduated with his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Dr. Niekrasz chose the field of general dentistry over a specialty because he enjoys working in all aspects of dentistry. He has attended many conferences and seminars on cosmetic dentistry, especially veneers and esthetic crowns. He is competent in placing implant restorations (crowns, bridgework) including overdentures and hybrid dentures on 4-6 implants. He is excited about the results he has seen in the many cases he has done. He knows building long-term relationships with his patients to be the best way to treat and maintain healthy smiles for a lifetime. Nothing makes him happier than helping a patient leave with a smile they haven’t realized for years!
Dr. Niekrasz has raised three children with his wife, Kathy, who is also part of his dental team. They enjoy free time with them and their two grandsons. He loves his hobby of photography and believes the aesthetic aspect of his dentistry has been enhanced by the artistic eye he has developed through photography.
