Family Dentistry in Mokena, IL with a
True Family Legacy
Witkowski Dental is, quite literally, a family taking care of families.
Founded in 1976 by Dr. Leon Witkowski Jr.
Joined by his son, Dr. LJ Witkowski III, in 2005
Relocated to Mokena in 1998 to better serve local families
Expanded with Dr. Leslie Clevenger to further support comprehensive family care
For 49 years, our mission has remained the same:
“At Witkowski Dental we treat each patient as family. We provide professional care in a patient-centered environment. We offer individual treatment plans based on patient health and financial needs.”
We believe great family dentistry in Mokena, IL is built on relationships. Many of our patients started coming to us as children, and now bring their own kids—and often their parents and grandparents too. We recommend bringing children by no later than age 3 to help them build a positive, trusting relationship with the dentist from the very beginning.
Our core philosophy is simple:
Family-centered care
Conservative treatment that preserves natural teeth as long as possible
Prevention-first approach for long-term health and comfort
