From South Germantown to a Growing Village
Germantown is a village in Washington County, whose county seat is West Bend. It was incorporated in 1927 as South Germantown, and in 1963 it annexed the hamlet of Dheinsville along with most of the surrounding town's land. Today Dheinsville Historic Park preserves a piece of that older settlement.
The village has grown a great deal since 1970, adding neighborhoods for young families and long-time residents alike. Village Hall and the community library stand next to each other on Mequon Rd, the same road that leads east to our office. Local students attend the village's school district, which includes Kennedy Middle School and Germantown High School.
Growth like that brings full calendars for parents and kids alike. School, sports, work and activities all compete for the same weekday hours. A dental office that can see several family members in a single trip east on one road, explain every option clearly and keep visits calm for kids is the kind of place that makes the drive easy to justify.
Whole-Family Dental Care for Germantown Households
Children's checkups focus on habits and prevention. Our hygienists clean and polish, our dentists examine each tooth, and we explain brushing and flossing in simple terms. Fluoride and sealants add protection to young enamel, and the Child plan within our in-house Dental Savings Plan covers routine cleanings, exams, x-rays and fluoride for one yearly rate.
Teens who want straighter teeth can choose clear aligners, our only orthodontic option. The trays come out to eat and to brush, and progress check-ups happen every six to eight weeks. For a first look, we take a digital scan and show a preview of the expected result.
Parents get the same office for their own care: tooth-colored fillings, CEREC crowns made and placed in one visit, implants and cosmetic work. Patients of every age who feel anxious can ask for nitrous oxide, a mild gas that wears off within minutes after pure oxygen. You stay fully aware, and you can drive home or back to work afterward.
Some patients arrive with more on their medical chart, such as diabetes, heart conditions or a long list of medications. Our oral-systemic approach treats gum health as part of whole-body health, and your medical history shapes the dental plan. The oral-systemic health focus page explains that connection.
Gum disease deserves special attention in that context. Puffy or bleeding gums are a sign of inflammation, and treatment combines scaling and root planing with laser decontamination, followed by maintenance visits every three to four months. Keeping that inflammation under control is one of the most useful things a dental visit can do for the rest of the body.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Successful Smiles from Germantown, and how do I get there?
From Germantown Village Hall, the office is about 10 miles away, roughly 21 minutes by car. Head east on Mequon Rd (WI-167), stay on it as it becomes W Mequon Rd, then turn left onto N Port Washington Rd. Families looking for a dentist Germantown, WI drivers can reach on one road will find it easy.
Can I book appointments for my whole family online?
Yes. Our online scheduler lets you choose visit times, and you can call 262-381-3739 to ask for times close together for several family members. New patient forms can also be filled out online before the first appointment, which saves time at check-in for parents bringing more than one child.
Do you offer fluoride and sealants for kids?
Yes, both are part of our preventative care for children. Fluoride strengthens enamel against decay, and sealants are thin protective coatings painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where grooves trap food. Our dentists will let you know which teeth would benefit at your child's checkup.
Is laughing gas safe if I have to drive back to work?
Yes, in most cases. Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is mild, and you stay fully aware during treatment. After the procedure, you breathe pure oxygen, and the effects wear off within minutes. That means most patients can drive themselves home or straight back to work after the appointment.
Can you treat patients with ongoing medical conditions?
Yes. Dr. Silvia's residency included treating medically compromised patients, and our oral-systemic approach looks at how gum health and conditions such as diabetes or heart disease affect each other. Sharing your medical history and current medications helps our dentists plan treatment around your overall health.
