Meet The Doctors & Team

Dr. Alex Silvia

Dr. Alex has a true passion for dentistry and has spent a substantial amount of time furthering his skills to better serve you. Following dental school at the University of Kentucky, he completed a one-year residency specializing in implant dentistry, sedation, and treating medically compromised patients. He spent an additional year completing a 300-hour comprehensive implant training course. He has been recognized with awards for both surgical and aesthetic/prosthetic dentistry, in addition to an award for his dedication to volunteering and providing free dental care for underserved populations.

The only thing Dr. Alex is more passionate about than dentistry is his family. Dr. Alex is married to his wife, Annie, and they have 2 daughters. Dr. Alex and his family enjoy going to Brewers games, local farmer’s markets, and walking their golden doodle, Beau. Although he is a native of Kentucky, he has lived in Wisconsin for many years and considers it home.

Dr. Christine Bruno

Dr. Christine Bruno first sparked her lifelong passion for dentistry while growing up in Oconomowoc, WI. As a teen, she assisted at her dentist’s office and found that she loved caring for neighbors and friends in the dental setting. She left Oconomowoc to attend St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, where she swam varsity all 4 years. Dr. Bruno graduated in 2011 with degrees in economics and French. Though she enjoyed her studies, Dr. Bruno felt unfulfilled in the corporate endeavors after college. Early experiences in dentistry reminded her of how she could create a professional life while caring for others. Finally, in 2017, Dr. Bruno enrolled at Marquette University School of Dentistry, and she graduated with her degree in 2021. During dental school, she served as the volunteer coordinator for the special care dentistry group and coached Special Olympics swimming.

Throughout her life, Dr. Bruno has found inspiration in endurance sports, which require dedication and strength of mind. You can often find her competing in Ironman events, the American Birkebeiner, or various local running and cross-country ski races.
