Dr. Derek Abramowski

Dr. Derek Abramowski believes that everyone deserves to feel good about their smile, no matter what condition their teeth are in or how long it's been since their last dental visit.

As the owner of Southside Dental Center since 2015, Dr. Abramowski has built his approach to dentistry around a simple philosophy: No judgment, just honest conversations and great dental care. He understands that many patients come in feeling nervous, embarrassed, or overwhelmed by the dental work they need. His goal is to help them feel comfortable, understand their options, and develop a plan that works for them.

Dr. Abramowski especially enjoys helping patients overcome complex dental problems. From repairing a single broken tooth to rebuilding an entire smile with crowns, implants, or other restorative treatments, he finds it incredibly rewarding to help people regain the confidence to smile, eat, and enjoy life without worrying about their teeth.

A Buffalo, Minnesota native, Dr. Abramowski earned his undergraduate degree in Microbiology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry. He is an active member of the Monticello Rotary Club and enjoys giving back to the community he calls home.

Outside the office, Dr. Abramowski enjoys spending time with his wife, their two boys, and their dog, Finn. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoys camping, hiking, hunting, ice fishing, and spending time at the lake.

"One of the best parts of dentistry is helping someone who thought their teeth were beyond fixing. There's almost always something we can do to make things better. My job is to help patients understand their options and feel good about moving forward." — Dr. Abramowski
