Dr. Durell Dancy

General Dentist

Dr. Durell, cosmetic and general dentist, was born and raised on the westside of Indianapolis. He attended Crispus Attucks Middle School and Arsenal Tech for high school. He later completed his Chemistry and Biology degrees at IUPUI and continued on to a Post Baccalaureate program at the University of California San Francisco focused on dental school entry. Dr. Durell earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the illustrious Indiana University School of Dentistry. Upon graduation, Dr. Durell started working alongside Dr. Austin at Merit Dental, learning the skills of Cosmetic Dentistry, and also performed contract dentistry with Dr. Carter in the statewide county jail system, where he gained his love for helping the underserved community.

Dr. Durell’s passion for dentistry began when he was very young. He had a curious young mind, and when he heard dental staff talking about dentistry, he was intrigued by all the big words. What are ‘distal occlusal caries,’ and how do they develop in someone’s mouth? Dental language became a whole new secret code for him. It was fun and exciting. Eventually, his inquisitiveness about dentistry led him to enroll in a dental assisting course in high school and pursue dentistry in college. Click here to learn more.
