Dr. Donald W Lanning

IS EVERY DENTIST THE SAME? MEET DR. LANNING
"My priority in dentistry is to help my patients keep their teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime. I feel there is only one way to practice dentistry and that is with concern, clinical excellence and clear communication."
Dr. Lanning has always been active in his community and church. He has served as president of his homeowners association, property owners association, and member of the Argyle Chamber of Commerce. He has been married to his wife, Danita since 1982 and together they have four children, ages 14 - 22. They love to camp, dirt bike, snow ski and play board games. In addition to serving in his own community, Dr Lanning is an active part of Hearts for Honduras providing comprehensive dental humanitarian relief in some of the poorest areas in the world.   Each spring, together with other doctors, dentists, and volunteers their team will once again provide compassionate care for the needy residents in the remote villages of …Honduras.
For the last 27 years Dr Lanning has been in the private practice of Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.  He attended Texas A&I University as an undergraduate, then studied at the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston, Texas, where he received his DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) in 1984. He operated in private practice in NW Houston for 19 years before moving to Argyle, Texas. He is a member of the American Dental Association, Academy of Family Dentistry, Texas Dental Association, and Denton Dental Society. Dr Lanning is committed to offering premium dentistry. He's attended over 1,000 hours of advanced dental courses and has set his goal on achieving his Fellowship in the Academy of Family Dentistry. (His wife jokes that he is a CE junkie!)  Dr Lanning is also a member of the teaching faculty at The Center for Aesthetic Cosmetic Dentistry where he has completed the Master's Course. Dr Lanning is an exceptional dentist and he is our favorite!
