Convenient Access from Thiensville
Living in Thiensville means the dentist can be closer than the grocery run. Successful Smiles sits about 9 minutes east of downtown, at our office on N Port Washington Rd in Mequon, and families looking for a dentist Thiensville, WI parents and teens can share will find three doctors, a hygiene team and modern technology in one building. No freeway is needed to get here.
Start on N Main St in the Main Street Historic District and drive south; Main St turns into Cedarburg Rd as you leave the village. Turn left onto W Mequon Rd (WI-167), stay on it for about three miles, then turn left onto N Port Washington Rd. The office is a short way up on the left at 11345 N Port Washington Rd, Mequon, WI 53092. Plan on 4.4 miles and about 9 minutes, and use our Google Maps page for live directions.

Small-Village Care for Thiensville Families
Thiensville is a compact village on the west bank of a bend in the Milwaukee River, where Pigeon Creek joins it near the village center. The City of Mequon surrounds it on every side, and the two communities share a library, fire and EMS service and a school district. Life here moves at a walkable pace: Main Street shops, the riverwalk, Village Park and Molyneux Park.
That kind of town deserves a dental office that knows your family by name. We describe ourselves as a dental home: accommodating, convenient and service-oriented, with conservative treatment and plain answers. Parents, kids and grandparents can all be seen in the same chairs by the same doctors.
Many households also live in older homes along the Green Bay Road Historic District, built in the 1890s and early 1900s. Older homes and longtime residents often go together, and so do older crowns and fillings. We see both ends of the age range here, and we plan care for each.
The village is one of the smallest in Ozaukee County, and its landmarks are close together. The William F. Rausch Fire Museum fills the former 1914 village hall and fire station, and the Ozaukee Interurban Trail runs through town beside the rail line. When the whole place is this easy to cross, a dental office that is only one main road away simply fits into the week.
What Thiensville Parents and Teens Should Know
Students from Thiensville attend schools in the shared Mequon-Thiensville School District, up through Homestead High School. School years are busy, so we keep visits efficient. Appointments start at 8:00 AM Monday through Friday, which lets many students finish a cleaning before first period.
Teens who want straighter teeth without metal often ask about clear aligners. Our doctors start with a digital scan, show a preview of the expected result, and then check progress every six to eight weeks. Retainers keep the new alignment in place once treatment ends. Because the aligners come out to eat, there is no list of forbidden foods, which makes them easier for busy students to live with.
Younger kids benefit from sealants on the chewing surfaces of back teeth and from fluoride treatments at their checkups. For children who feel nervous, nitrous oxide is mild and wears off within minutes. A calm first experience in the chair tends to shape how a child feels about the dentist for years.
Services From a Dentist Thiensville, WI Families Know
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, sealants and oral cancer screenings, all with low-radiation digital x-rays. Preventative dentistry is where most Thiensville families start, and it keeps small problems small.
Orthodontics
We offer clear aligner therapy for adults and teens, with no wires to adjust. Learn how our orthodontics process uses a scan, a preview and regular progress checks.

Chipped edges, stains and uneven teeth can be improved with bonding, porcelain veneers or whitening. Our cosmetic dentistry visits include an AI smile preview before you commit.
Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation dentistry means nitrous oxide, a mild gas that keeps you relaxed and fully aware. It wears off within minutes after a few breaths of pure oxygen, so adults can drive themselves home and kids can head back to class.
Restorative Care
A cavity, a broken tooth or a crown that has reached the end of its life gets a durable fix. Restorative care includes tooth-colored fillings, bridges and CEREC crowns made in one visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Successful Smiles from Thiensville, and how do I get there?
From downtown Thiensville it is 4.4 miles, around 9 minutes by car. Drive south on N Main St, which becomes Cedarburg Rd, then go east on W Mequon Rd (WI-167) to N Port Washington Rd. For anyone wanting a dentist Thiensville, WI drivers can reach without the freeway, the route is about as simple as it gets.
Do clear aligners work for teenagers?
Yes, clear aligners can work well for teens who will wear them as directed. We begin with a digital scan and a preview of the planned result, then see your teen every six to eight weeks. Aligners come out for meals and brushing, and a retainer holds the result afterward.
Can parents and kids book cleanings on the same morning?
Yes, ask for back-to-back times when you call, and mention how many family members need a visit. Appointments begin at 8:00 AM Monday through Friday, which suits many school mornings. Booking a few months ahead makes matching times easier, especially around school breaks and summer.
Are sealants worth it for school-age kids?
For most children, yes. A sealant is a thin protective coating painted onto the grooves of the back teeth, where brushing misses food and plaque. Sealants are part of our preventive care, alongside fluoride treatments and home-care coaching for kids. A sealed tooth is simply harder for decay to get started in.
What does the savings plan cover if I have no insurance?
The adult membership includes two cleanings, two exams, x-rays and two fluoride treatments each year, with a full set of x-rays every five years. Members also save 20% on other treatments, though teeth whitening is excluded. There are no deductibles, waiting periods or annual maximums, and a Child plan is available.
