The History of Advanced Dental Concepts of Winfield
Although Advanced Dental Concepts of Winfield was founded in August, 2007, it's development and history begins much earlier than 2007.
Dr. Kessler graduated from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 1981. After testing the dental market as an employee for only one year, Dr. Kessler founded Winfield Dental in 1982. Through hard work, care and compassion for his patients, Dr. Kessler created a very successful dental practice and became the dental cornerstone in the town of Winfield.
Dr. Hayes grew up in NW Indiana but attended and graduated from Temple University School of Dentistry, Philadelphia, PA, in 2002. Following graduation, Dr. Hayes was employed as an associate dentist at a fast paced pediatric dental office. Although Dr. Hayes enjoyed working with children his passion was to build his own practice. In 2004, Dr. Hayes purchased Grace Family Dentistry, a small dental practice in Winfield. Grace Family Dentistry was renamed as Advanced Dental Concepts by Dr.Hayes. By developing a reputation of creating a small town atmosphere, nurturing doctor-patient relationships, and compassionate and competent dental care, Dr. Hayes quickly grew this part-time practice into a thriving full-time dental care center.
In the Spring of 2007, Dr. Kessler and Dr. Hayes initiated discussions about combining the practices in order to take advantage of the strengths of each. By joining forces, they hoped to create a dental practice that could be considered as one of the best dental practices in NW Indiana. By August, 2007, the talk was a reality and the two practices merged into one, Advanced Dental Concepts of Winfield. As with anything new, there were kinks that needed to be worked out. However, through determination, the practice has grown into the image that both Dr's. Hayes and Kessler had imagined. We believe that our office is one of the most technologically advanced, full service, customer service oriented dental practices in NW Indiana. As we entered into the year 2010, to our surprise, we were selected by the readers of the Post-Tribune as a winner of the Neighbor's Choice Award for the best dental practices in Lake County. Our hope is to continue to improve, and continue to strive for perfection so that those patients who choose to place their trust in us, will never be disappointed and will choose to give us the greatest compliment of all, the referral of their friends and family so that we may provide them with the best dental treatment and customer service in the area.
