Dr Ellie Dowden

People often ask me, “Why dentistry?” Like most things in life, my decision to attend dental school was a result of chance, opportunity and hard-work. At an early age, I became interested in a career in healthcare and envisioned a life where I could use my skills and talents to help others. After hours of job shadow during high school, dentistry felt like a calling. I fell in love with the idea of establishing true relationships and friendships with my patients, while being able to use my hands in an artistic and creative way. Influenced by my childhood dentist, I went full-speed ahead to pursue dentistry and am so glad I did. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Marquette University School of Dentistry in 2014. Since graduation, I have completed numerous hours of continuing education to advance my education and am pursuing my fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry. I am a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), Wisconsin Dental Association (WDA), and Academy of General Dentistry. What I really want you to know about me is that I love dentistry and I love people. I am passionate about achieving optimal oral and overall health and am committed to helping you do the same. I consider it a privilege and honor to work with people to help educate and motivate them to achieve their goals.
