With decades of experience and deep community roots, Dr. Bernie is dedicated to thoughtful, lasting care built on trust, relationships, and doing what’s best for each patient.

Dr. Bernie Dudzinski brings decades of experience, thoughtful care, and trusted expertise to every patient he sees. Dentistry is more than a profession for Dr. Bernie—it’s a lifelong passion rooted in caring for his community. After joining the practice in 1987 and becoming a business partner in 1989, he played a central role in growing what is now known as New Image Dentistry. Today, as an owner alongside his three sons, who are also dentists, he provides full-scope general dentistry with a special passion for finding creative solutions tailored to each individual. Because dentistry isn’t always one-size-fits-all, Dr. Bernie values the opportunity to think critically and adapt his approach to what’s best for the patient in front of him.

His approach to patient care starts with listening. While exams and x-rays reveal important information, Dr. Bernie believes it’s just as important to understand what brought the patient in and what concerns are top of mind. Whether it’s a chipped tooth or a long-term health issue, he focuses on what matters most to the patient.

What he enjoys most is the personal side of dentistry—getting to know patients over the years, learning about their lives and families, and being a consistent presence they can trust. Dr. Bernie has had the privilege of providing care to multiple generations of families—seeing patients he has treated for over 30 years bring in their children, who in turn bring in their own children. This continuity reflects the lasting relationships he aims to build.

In addition to his faith and family, the cornerstone of Dr. Bernie’s practice is quite simple: He truly cares about each of his patients, their families, and their oral health, and he will continue to show up each day with those values top of mind.
