Convenient Access from Bayside
Bayside sits right next door to our practice. Successful Smiles is a dentist Bayside, WI households can reach in about 9 minutes, with our office on N Port Washington Rd in Mequon just across the county line. Three general dentists, a full preventive team and in-office implant care all work under one roof, so most of what your family needs happens in one familiar place.
From the north end of N Regent Rd, a quarter mile past Bayside Village Hall, head west on E Fairy Chasm Rd and turn north on N Port Washington Rd. Pick up I-43 north near County Line Rd, take exit 85 for W Mequon Rd (WI-167) and turn right onto N Port Washington Rd. The whole trip is 4.1 miles, roughly 9 minutes. You will find us at 11345 N Port Washington Rd, Mequon, WI 53092, and the Google Maps listing for Successful Smiles gives turn-by-turn directions. Neighbors in Fox Point and River Hills make a similar short drive.
A Practice Built for Bayside's Established Neighborhoods
Bayside grew up during the postwar building years, and most of its homes went up between 1950 and 1980. Many of the people living in those houses have been in Bayside for decades. That history shows up in the dental chair: older fillings, crowns placed twenty years ago and gums that need closer attention with age.
Our team plans care around that reality. We look at your whole mouth, explain what we see on low-radiation digital x-rays, and lay out the costs before treatment starts. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is hidden. If several teeth need work, we help you decide what comes first and what can safely wait, so a long list never turns into one overwhelming bill.
The village itself stays quiet and residential, stretching from N Port Washington Rd east to the Lake Michigan bluffs. The Schlitz Audubon Nature Center fills a large stretch of former Uihlein family farmland along the lake, and the Fairy Chasm area still holds historic summer homes. A practice four miles up the road fits that easy, close-to-home pace.
Gum Health and Aging Dental Work in Bayside
Bayside is mostly in Milwaukee County, with a small strip at the end of Lake Drive by Fish Creek crossing into Ozaukee County. Wherever your street falls, the short drive makes regular maintenance realistic. That matters most for gum disease, which tends to come back without steady follow-up.
Our Oral-Systemic Perio Program pairs scaling and root planing with laser decontamination, then schedules maintenance visits every three to four months. Patients in Bayside can keep that rhythm without giving up half a day. Healthy gums also protect any crowns, bridges or implants already in place.
For a tooth that has outgrown its old filling, we can often design and place a ceramic crown in a single appointment with CEREC. Read how that visit works on our same-day crowns page.
Medical history matters here too. Diabetes, heart conditions and certain medications can all affect the gums, and our whole-body approach treats your mouth as part of your overall health. When a new prescription or diagnosis comes up, tell us at your next cleaning so we can adjust your care plan. That kind of continuity is easier when your dentists are a short drive from home.
Care From a Dentist Bayside, WI Residents Can Reach in Minutes
Restorative Care
Worn fillings and cracked teeth are common in long-lived smiles. Our restorative care covers tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges and full-mouth plans, all designed around how your bite actually works. Ceramic crowns can be milled right in the office.
Dental Implants
Missing a back tooth or wearing a loose partial? Our doctors place and restore dental implants in the same office, planned with in-house 3D CBCT imaging so Bayside patients avoid trips between offices.
Gum Disease Treatment
Bleeding or receding gums deserve a closer look. Gum disease treatment starts with a periodontal evaluation and may include scaling, root planing and laser therapy.
Comprehensive Occlusal Care
Morning headaches, jaw fatigue or teeth that keep chipping often trace back to the bite. Comprehensive occlusal care uses Dawson-based bite analysis, careful adjustments and custom splints to calm overworked muscles and protect your teeth.
Preventative Dentistry
Exams, cleanings and oral cancer screenings remain the base of every plan. Preventative dentistry at our office also includes home-care coaching, fluoride and sealants for younger family members, and CBCT imaging only when a closer look is truly needed.
Meet Your Dentists
Dr. Alex Silvia trained at the University of Kentucky, then completed a one-year residency and a 300-hour comprehensive implant course, which is why implant work stays in-house. Dr. Christine Bruno and Dr. Nicki Gross, DDS, both earned their dental degrees at Marquette University. Dr. Bruno grew up in Oconomowoc, while Dr. Gross worked a year as a dental assistant before dental school. Together they see patients of every age, from young children to retirees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Successful Smiles from Bayside, and how do I get there?
The office is 4.1 miles from the north end of Bayside, about a 9-minute drive. Take E Fairy Chasm Rd to N Port Washington Rd, ride I-43 north to exit 85, then follow W Mequon Rd back to N Port Washington Rd. Anyone choosing a dentist Bayside, WI families can reach this quickly will find us at 11345 N Port Washington Rd.
Can an old crown be replaced in a single appointment?
Often, yes. With CEREC, we scan the tooth, design the new ceramic crown on screen, mill it in the office and bond it the same day. There is no putty impression and no temporary crown to wear for weeks. A cracked root or active decay underneath may change the plan, and we will explain that first.
How often should I come in if I have had gum disease?
Most patients in our periodontal program return every three to four months. Those maintenance visits clean below the gumline where home care cannot reach and let us catch any new pocketing early. Our Periodontal Maintenance savings plan was built around this schedule for patients who do not carry dental insurance.
Can my dental implant be placed and restored in the same office?
Yes. Our doctors handle both the surgical placement and the final crown or bridge, so you are not sent across town between steps. Treatment is planned with a 3D CBCT scan and, when needed, an in-office 3D-printed surgical guide. Healing usually takes about three to six months before the final restoration.
Do you take Delta Dental?
Yes, we are directly in-network with all Delta Dental plans. We also work with most PPO plans and many plans from carriers such as Cigna and Guardian, though coverage can vary by plan. Our team verifies your benefits before the appointment and submits the claim on your behalf.
