About Excellence in Dentistry - Madison
Excellence in Dentistry is at 1001 North Sherman Avenue in Madison's Sherman neighbourhood — on the North Sherman Avenue corridor in Madison's east side, accessible from the surrounding Sherman, Emerson East, and Schenk-Atwood residential communities. The practice's stated mission is to provide proper and ethical dental treatment and to encourage patients to discuss oral health concerns in a non-judgmental environment.
The non-judgmental orientation in the practice's clinical philosophy addresses a real barrier in dental care access: patients who have neglected dental care for extended periods — due to cost, anxiety, lack of insurance, or competing life priorities — often present with shame about the state of their oral health and experience elevated anxiety about the clinician's response to dental neglect. A practice that explicitly positions itself as judgment-free for these presentations is more likely to retain the patients who most need care, creating better clinical outcomes than a practice environment where patients feel evaluated or judged for their dental history.
Oral cancer screening is explicitly listed — annual mucosal surveillance through visual and tactile examination during recall appointments. In Madison's Sherman and east side communities, where tobacco use and the risk factors associated with HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer are present, systematic oral cancer screening at each recall appointment provides early detection capability that the dental practice is uniquely positioned to deliver.
Dental sealants for paediatric preventive care, family dental care, and children's services cover the household preventive scope. Dental implants and dentures provide the prosthetic replacement range. Sedation dentistry is available for patients whose anxiety about dental care has caused them to defer treatment. Root canal treatment, periodontal care, and professional cleaning complete the restorative and maintenance scope.
For Sherman, east Madison, and Schenk-Atwood patients on North Sherman Avenue who want a family dental practice with oral cancer screening, sedation dentistry, and an explicitly non-judgmental clinical culture, the 1001 North Sherman Avenue address provides that combination.
Excellence in Dentistry’s mission is to provide proper and ethical treatment to patients using the latest technology so patients can view their dental care as an investment for a better and healthier life while we encourage patients to talk about their oral health issues and concerns in a non-judgemental environment. Patient care is our main focus. To ensure patients are receiving exceptional care, we treat each patient as a family member by the follow examples: Making a positive difference in t

Recent Reviews
As always, my recent appointment at Excellence in Dentistry was completed in professional and friendly manner. Dr. Batchelor and his staff go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and informed. Thanks again for the quality of care and kindness.
Truly wonderful experience with this dental office. Dr. Batchelor is friendly, kind, and has incredible bedside manner. He was extremely helpful when I was experiencing tooth pain that was difficult to determine the cause. He talked me through all the possibilities and advocated for me with the endodontist. He went above and beyond. All of the staff at this office are fantastic as well. They always know who I am, are friendly and welcoming, and go out of their way to accommodate me when I forget to bring my debit card to the office (they call when I get home so I can pay over the phone and avoid the credit card fee). I cannot recommend this dentist enough!
I’ve been coming here for years and have always had a great experience. Today I had to have my first ever filling done and was so nervous. Dr. Batchelor was so kind and patient, taking the time to explain everything and making the whole experience completely painless.
They live up to their name, Excellence! Highly recommend, been here close to two years since leaving a dentistry that was lacking in many areas. I felt comfortable here immediately, very thorough gentle cleanings. Thank you!
Great service, very professional. Theresa is the best.
Wonderful service! Dr. Batchelor was gentle and ensured I was comfortable throughout the procedure. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dental health.
I am very glad I found this practice. The office is very nice and the staff does a great job. I have received great, effective care and would recommend them to anyone!
I've been seeing Dr. Batchelor for several years now and I'm so happy I found him. I've met with a few different hygienists and all of them are so sweet and kind. The staff here are really wonderful!
I feel like extended family when I go here. My hygienist is amazing, so sweet, patient and excellent communication skills. Dr. B is also amazing and thorough. I recommend them to anyone who is new to the area or looking for a new dentist.
Theresa is great! She's truly my favorite. I appreciate her attention to detail, and that she is thorough in explaining what she's doing. I trust her and enjoy coming to the dentist. I like seeing the connection that Theresa and Dr. Batchelor have with each other professionally. They get along and have a kind and natural demeanor with each other. Their teamwork with each other allow for a relaxing atmosphere for the patient. They are both professional, kind and witty and make it an enjoyable experience for the patient. Mariah is also a sweet human that brings a smile to your scheduling questions and is great at answering questions about insurance.
I had my first exam in years. I have had some bad experiences in the past, and was nervous to try a new dentist. All the staff were excellent. Dr. Batchelor has a very disarming persona which eased much of my anxiety, and my hygienist was thorough without being rough. Overall, an Excellent experience.
Dr. Batchelor is wonderful! He is so very skilled and knowledgeable and has great bedside manner. He’s cautious with what he does and always takes the time to make sure you understand everything. The hygienists are all great and the front desk/billing staff are always so helpful and understanding.
