Convenient Access from Saukville

Successful Smiles is a dentist Saukville, WI residents can reach in about 16 minutes, almost all of it on I-43, with our office on N Port Washington Rd in Mequon right at the Mequon Rd exit. Three general dentists, early weekday appointments and one-visit CEREC crowns help shift workers and families keep dental care simple.
From E Green Bay Ave (WI-33) in the village center, by the Milwaukee River, follow WI-33 east for under a mile to I-43 and head south. Stay on the freeway for nearly eleven miles, then take exit 85 for Mequon Rd (WI-167) and turn right onto N Port Washington Rd. The office stands at 11345 N Port Washington Rd, Mequon, WI 53092. All told, it is 12.5 miles and about 16 minutes, and our listing on Google Maps offers live directions. Patients from Port Washington and Grafton share much of this same freeway drive.
A River Village With a Working Spirit
Saukville grew up on the Milwaukee River, which flows north to south through the village and once powered its early mills. A dam went in on the river in 1848, the same year the Payne Hotel opened as a stagecoach stop. That building is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
The village has kept its history close. The Saukville Area Historical Society runs the Crossroads Museum in a restored 1912 firehouse, and Peninsula Park hosts the Crossroads Rendezvous each May. Veterans Park hosts a seasonal farmers market from June through October. Kurtz Woods, a state natural area, lies within the village, and the much larger Cedarburg Bog sits just to the east.
Over time, Saukville changed from a rural dairy and mill community into a manufacturing-based suburb of the Milwaukee area. Manufacturing is a large share of local work in this corner of Ozaukee County, and plant jobs tend to run on fixed start times. For them, a dental office that respects the clock is worth more than any amenity.
Students in the village attend the joint Port Washington-Saukville School District, starting at Saukville Elementary. Kids benefit from sealants and fluoride at their checkups, and teens can straighten their teeth with clear aligners that come out for meals and sports. Parents can bring the whole family to one office instead of juggling several.
Fitting Dental Care Around Saukville Work Shifts
Factory and trade schedules leave little room for long appointments or repeat visits. We plan with that in mind. Appointments begin at 8:00 AM Monday through Friday, and Friday hours run until 3:30 PM for anyone finishing an early week.
Repeat visits are where most time gets lost. CEREC lets us repair a broken or heavily filled tooth with a ceramic crown that is designed, milled and placed during one appointment. There is no temporary crown to protect for two weeks and no second drive down I-43. The same-day crowns page shows each step.
Many hands-on jobs also come with the occasional chipped or cracked tooth. New patients facing a dental emergency can book our $49 emergency exam and x-ray, which is offered to new patients only. We strive to fit you into our schedule, and you leave with clear treatment recommendations.
Some employers offer dental benefits and some do not. Workers without coverage can join our in-house Dental Savings Plan, which has no deductibles, waiting periods or annual maximums and gives members 20% off other treatments, teeth whitening excluded. It keeps routine cleanings affordable year after year.
Treatment From a Dentist Saukville, WI Families Can Fit Into the Week
Restorative Care
A chipped molar or a filling that finally gave out can usually be fixed in one trip. Restorative care covers tooth-colored fillings, ceramic crowns, bridges and implant restorations.
Preventative Dentistry
Regular cleanings, exams and oral cancer screenings prevent the surprise problems that cost a shift. Preventative dentistry also covers sealants and fluoride for kids.
Dental Implants
A lost tooth can be replaced with an implant that our doctors both place and restore. Dental implants are planned on a 3D CBCT scan taken in our office.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide helps nervous patients relax in the chair. Sedation dentistry here means nitrous oxide, which wears off within minutes, so you can drive yourself home or straight back to work.
Gum Disease Treatment
Bleeding or receding gums can quietly loosen teeth. Gum disease treatment combines scaling, root planing and laser decontamination with follow-up every three to four months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Successful Smiles from Saukville, and how do I get there?
Our office is 12.5 miles from the center of Saukville, a drive of about 16 minutes. Take E Green Bay Ave (WI-33) to I-43, go south to exit 85, and follow Mequon Rd to N Port Washington Rd. Workers who want a dentist Saukville, WI drivers can reach mostly by freeway will find the route direct.
Can I schedule a dental visit before my shift starts?
Yes, our first appointments of the day begin at 8:00 AM, Monday through Friday. Cleanings, exams and many fillings fit well into an early slot. If the early slots are taken, a late-afternoon visit before 5:00 PM Monday through Thursday can suit a first-shift schedule.
What does the $49 emergency exam include?
It includes a focused emergency exam, any x-rays we need to see the problem and clear treatment recommendations. The $49 price applies to new patients only. We strive to fit emergency visits into our schedule, and in many cases the fix, such as a crown or filling, can be planned right away.
Can I pay for dental care with cash, checks or credit cards?
Yes. We accept all major credit cards, cash and checks, and CareCredit is available as well. Our team reviews every fee before treatment starts, so you know the cost in advance. There are no hidden charges added after the visit, and our team can also file insurance claims for you.
Do I have to wear a temporary crown with CEREC?
No. Because the CEREC crown is milled in our office while you wait, it is bonded at the same appointment. That means no temporary crown, no putty impressions and no second visit to swap it out. A digital scan replaces the old impression trays, which many patients find far more comfortable.
