Emergency Dentistry
Who it’s for: Anyone with sudden dental pain, a tooth injury, a lost filling or crown, jaw swelling, or a dental abscess that needs to be seen today — not next week.
Common reasons people contact us:
- Severe or persistent toothache
- Knocked-out or partially dislodged tooth
- Cracked or broken tooth
- Lost filling or crown
- Dental abscess with swelling
- Bleeding that will not stop after an injury
Best next step: Call us immediately — do not email for emergencies. If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist in milk or saliva and get here as fast as possible. We do our best to see emergency patients the same day.

Pediatric Dentistry
Who it’s for: Infants getting their first teeth, children in primary and middle school, and teens. Also for parents who have questions about thumb-sucking, fluoride, sippy cups, or cavity prevention.
- Child’s first dental visit (recommended around age 1)
- Cavity prevention, dental sealants, and fluoride treatments
- Loose, chipped, or painful baby teeth
- Child with dental anxiety
- Orthodontic readiness check for teens
- General guidance on children’s oral health habits
Best next step: Schedule your child’s first visit — ideally around their first birthday or when the first tooth appears. Let us know about any anxiety beforehand so the team can prepare.
Dental Implants
Who it’s for: Adults with one or more missing teeth who want a permanent, stable replacement — and who have enough jawbone to support an implant.
- One or more missing teeth
- Unhappy with dentures or partials
- Tooth recently extracted or lost
- Concerns about bone loss from missing teeth
- Questions about implant cost and timeline
Best next step: Request an implant consultation. We will review X-rays and assess your bone health to confirm you are a good candidate, then walk through the full process and cost estimate before any commitment.
Invisalign
Who it’s for: Teens and adults with crowded, gapped, or misaligned teeth who want a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Works best for mild to moderate alignment issues.
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Teeth that have shifted after previous braces
- Wanting straighter teeth without visible metal
Best next step: Schedule an Invisalign consultation. We take digital scans — no physical impressions — and can show you a projected outcome before you decide to start.
Root Canals
A procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans the root canals, and seals the tooth. It relieves pain and saves a tooth that would otherwise need to be pulled.
Who it’s for: Anyone with a tooth that is deeply infected, severely decayed, or cracked — typically causing significant pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling near the tooth.
- Severe or persistent toothache
- Sensitivity to heat or cold that lingers after the source is removed
- Darkening or discoloration of a single tooth
- Swollen or tender gums around a tooth
- Deep cavity that has reached the nerve
- Another dentist recommended a root canal
Best next step: Call us — do not wait on tooth pain. We will assess whether a root canal is the right treatment and explain what to expect. Modern root canals are far more comfortable than their reputation suggests.

Dental Services
Who it’s for: Patients who need treatment beyond a basic cleaning, or who are looking for a comprehensive evaluation and are not sure exactly where to start.
- Crown or bridge needed
- Partial or full dentures
- Tooth extraction
- Oral cancer screening
- Digital X-rays and imaging
- Not sure what is wrong — need a diagnosis first
Best next step: If you are not sure which specific service you need, call or email with a brief description of your concern. We will help you determine the right appointment type.

Periodontal Care
Who it’s for: People with bleeding gums, receding gums, loose teeth, persistent bad breath, or a formal diagnosis of gingivitis or periodontitis. Also for patients who need long-term management of chronic gum disease.
- Gums bleed when brushing or flossing
- Gums are pulling away from the teeth
- Chronic bad breath that does not go away
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Diagnosed with gum disease by another provider
- Overdue for a periodontal maintenance visit
Best next step: Schedule a periodontal evaluation. We will measure pocket depths around each tooth and put together a treatment plan — which may be as simple as a more thorough cleaning on a different schedule.
Mouthguards
Who it’s for: Athletes in contact sports and people who grind or clench their teeth at night — especially those waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or noticing worn-down teeth.
- Sports mouthguard for a child or adult athlete
- Jaw pain or headaches in the morning
- Partner or dentist says they grind their teeth at night
- Teeth are visibly worn, chipped, or cracked from grinding
- Replacing a lost or old nightguard
Best next step: Call to schedule a quick impression appointment. Custom mouthguards typically take one to two weeks to make and offer significantly better fit and protection than store-bought versions.
Senior Dentistry
Who it’s for: Adults 65 and older — especially those managing chronic health conditions, taking multiple medications, dealing with dry mouth, or noticing changes in their gum health, teeth, or ability to chew comfortably.
- Untreated cavities or tooth decay
- Loose, missing, or damaged teeth
- Bleeding or receding gums
- Dry mouth caused by medications
- Difficulty chewing or wearing dentures
- Overdue for a routine exam or cleaning
Best next step: Call to schedule a comprehensive senior dental exam. We’ll review your medical history, current medications, and oral health to build a care plan that fits your needs and insurance coverage, including Medicare Advantage plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plain, direct answers to questions we hear often.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. Both our Madison and Verona locations are accepting new patients. Call either office or use the contact form to get scheduled. We will ask for basic insurance and health history information before your first visit.
Do you accept my dental insurance?
We work with many dental insurance plans. The easiest way to check is to call us with your insurance card. Our front desk can verify your benefits before your appointment so there are no surprises at checkout.
What happens at my first appointment?
For most new patients, the first visit includes a full oral exam, X-rays, and a cleaning if time allows. We will review your dental history and talk through any concerns. Plan for about 60 to 90 minutes.
How do I handle a dental emergency after hours?
Call our office line. The recording will give you instructions for after-hours emergencies. If you have severe swelling that is affecting your ability to breathe or swallow, go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
It varies depending on the case. Most adults complete treatment in 12 to 18 months. Minor corrections can take as few as 6 months. We will provide a projected timeline at your consultation based on your specific needs.
Is a root canal painful?
The procedure is done under local anesthetic, so you should not feel pain during treatment. Most patients say it is no worse than a filling. Some soreness for a day or two afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How much do dental implants cost?
Costs depend on the number of teeth being replaced, your bone health, and whether any preparatory work such as a bone graft is needed. We provide a detailed cost estimate at your consultation — before any treatment begins.
Do you see children? How early should we bring them in?
Yes. We recommend a child’s first dental visit around their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. Early visits help kids get comfortable with the environment and let us catch any developing concerns.
Can I be seen at either the Madison or Verona location?
Yes. Both locations share patient records, so you can be seen at either office. Madison is convenient for the university area and downtown. Verona is a better choice for patients on the southwest side of Madison and surrounding communities.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring your insurance card, a photo ID, and a list of any current medications. If you have recent dental X-rays from another dentist, bring those too. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to complete new-patient paperwork, or ask if we can send forms by email to fill out beforehand.
