A Village Built Around Its Schools

Whitefish Bay incorporated in 1892, at the time the first village in Milwaukee County, largely because residents wanted their own local school district. That early focus on schools still shapes the village, and Whitefish Bay High School serves its teens today.

The village grew as a streetcar suburb in the early 1900s, and many of its homes date from those decades. Along the lakeshore, the old Pabst Whitefish Bay Resort once drew big summer crowds with a beer garden, bandshell and Ferris wheel before closing in 1914. Its land later became lakefront home lots, and Klode Park now gives residents a public spot on Lake Michigan.

Village Hall and the public library sit a block apart on N Marlborough Dr. With school calendars, lakefront walks and short trips around the village filling most weeks, a dental office that treats the whole family fits that rhythm.

Teens, Aligners and Growing Smiles in Whitefish Bay

The teenage years bring the most dental questions. Crowded or crooked teeth become noticeable, sports raise the risk of chipped teeth, and busy schedules make it easy to skip cleanings. We plan for all three, starting with a careful exam and a frank conversation with both the teen and the parent about what is worth doing now and what can wait.

Clear aligner therapy is the only orthodontic method we offer, and it works well for many teens and adults. Treatment starts with a digital scan instead of messy putty, followed by a preview of the expected result. After that, your teen comes in for a progress check every six to eight weeks, and a retainer holds the new position at the end.

Athletes need protection too. Our intraoral scanners capture an accurate digital model that we use to make custom mouthguards and nightguards. A guard made from a scan fits better than a store-bought version, so it is more likely to be worn.

Younger children benefit from sealants and fluoride at regular checkups. For a child who feels anxious, nitrous oxide offers gentle calm and wears off within minutes, so the rest of the school day is unaffected. Low-radiation digital x-rays help us watch for cavities between teeth without extra exposure, which parents appreciate. Read about our scanners, 3D printer and other tools on the advanced technology page.

Family Care From a Dentist Whitefish Bay, WI Parents Can Trust

  • Orthodontics

    Clear aligners straighten teeth without metal wires, for teens and adults alike. Our orthodontics process uses a digital scan, an AI preview and regular check-ins to keep treatment on track.

  • Preventative Dentistry

    Cleanings, exams, sealants, fluoride and oral cancer screenings for every age. Preventative dentistry also covers custom nightguards and home-care coaching for kids.

  • Cosmetic Dentistry

    Graduations and family photos often prompt questions about whitening or small chips. Cosmetic dentistry covers KoR whitening, bonding and veneers, each previewed before treatment.

  • Comprehensive Occlusal Care

    Parents who clench at night often wake with headaches or sore jaws. Comprehensive occlusal care evaluates the bite and uses custom splints or nightguards to relieve strain.

  • Restorative Care

    A cavity found early needs only a small tooth-colored filling. When damage runs deeper, restorative care moves to CEREC ceramic crowns, bridges or implant restorations, all completed in our office.

Older homes often come with longtime owners, and those patients have different needs. Crowns, bridges and implant restorations are all handled in our office, so three generations of one family can share the same dental home.

How far is Successful Smiles from Whitefish Bay, and how do I get there?

How often will my teen need check-ups during clear aligner treatment?

Plan on a visit every six to eight weeks. At each check we confirm the aligners are fitting and the teeth are moving as planned, then plan the next step. Early 8:00 AM appointments help students return to class with minimal disruption.

Do you make custom mouthguards for sports?

Yes. We take a quick digital scan with an intraoral scanner and use it to make a guard shaped to your child's teeth. Custom guards fit snugly, stay in place better and are more comfortable than generic ones. The same technology is used for nightguards and whitening trays.

Do you take UnitedHealthcare or MetLife dental plans?

We are in-network with many UnitedHealthcare and MetLife plans, though coverage can vary by plan. Our team verifies your specific benefits before your appointment and explains what is covered. We also work with most PPO plans and are directly in-network with all Delta Dental plans.

Do you use digital dental impressions instead of putty?

Yes, we use intraoral scanners for most impressions. A small wand captures a 3D image of your teeth in a few minutes, with no gagging on trays of putty. The scans guide crowns, aligners, nightguards and whitening trays, and models and nightguards can be printed on our in-office 3D printer.
