About Isthmus Dental, Ltd
Isthmus Dental, Ltd is at 122 East Johnson Street in Madison, Wisconsin — a location on the isthmus that gives the practice its name: the narrow strip of land between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona on which the University of Wisconsin campus, the State Capitol, and much of historic Madison's residential character sit. East Johnson Street is in the near-east side of the isthmus, accessible from the Williamson Street corridor, the Marquette neighbourhood, and the Capitol Hill and Langdon Street communities.
The practice describes its approach as providing personalised oral health care tailored to each patient's unique dental needs and goals, with a focus on the patient understanding their own oral health status and options. In an isthmus Madison practice serving the diverse demographic of UW-Madison students and staff, Capitol Hill professionals, and near-east side long-term Madison residents, the range of dental histories and treatment goals is wide — from first-time adult patients establishing care through experienced dental patients managing complex long-term restorative histories.
Dental sealants for paediatric preventive care are listed alongside implants and periodontal care — a scope that covers the preventive starting point of a patient's dental care through the later restorative and maintenance needs. In the Williamson Street and Marquette neighbourhood demographic, which includes a mix of young professionals, established east-side homeowners, and UW-affiliated faculty, the combination of preventive and restorative care within the same practice relationship provides the longitudinal dental care that these communities value.
Emergency dentistry covers the acute presentations in the isthmus community. Dental bonding and veneers alongside teeth whitening address the cosmetic requests. Crown and bridge restorations and dental fillings complete the restorative maintenance scope for the East Johnson Street patient community.
For isthmus Madison, Marquette, and Williamson Street patients on East Johnson Street who want a personalised general dental practice with implants, sealants, and emergency dentistry in the heart of Madison's historic isthmus community, Isthmus Dental's 122 East Johnson Street address provides that combination.
From first contact at Isthmus Dental Ltd, our Madison dentists are committed to your individual attention and provide personalized oral health care tailored for your unique dental needs and goals. We create the ultimate stress-free and comfortable dental experience for you.

Recent Reviews
I recently went back to Isthmus Dental after the Covid-19 shut down. The staff were very well covered with protective equipment and I felt very safe. They took my temperature and took an oxygen reading (first for that). The care was good as always. They got me in the chair right away and kept my discomfort to a minimum. I was getting a tooth prepped for a cap so there was a lot of drilling. I've been going here for a long time and find them to be very professional and thorough.
Everyone goes out of their way to make me feel ultra cared-for!!!
I always feel that I'm in good hands with Dr. Wozniak and his staff. They are pleasant and caring. The care that I receive is professional and compassionate.
All of my experiences at this dental office have exceeded expectations. Currently, I am receiving care for Invisalign. I am in excellent hands with Debora! I enjoy going to my appointments. Everyone at the front desk is welcoming and conversational. I leave with a spring in my step! Great neighborhood business.
This is my absolute favorite Dental office ever. I have been a member for a little over a decade. The staff including my dental assistant, the welcoming staff, and the dentist are all great positive people. They make you feel comfortable at all levels and you can feel the energy.
These are the BEST Dental professionals in town! I’ve been a patient for over 10 years. I look forward to my appointments. Dr. Vu, Ida, and the staff made sure all questions were answered, and the level of care and concern I received was top notch.My teeth look and feel great and they teach me the latest on what I can do to keep my smile bright. This is the place to go for patient, kind, expert care!
I recently had some extensive work done that I delayed for a while. The reason: I've had a negative impression of the dental profession as a result of some terrible experiences with practitioners over the years. Being relatively new to Madison, a colleague recommended Isthmus. I'm so pleased that I accepted his recommendation. Dr. Wozniak, Heidi, and everyone in the office are just amazing humans and professionals. I've had multiple visits and each one is met with warmth and kindness, and the procedures were completed beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Isthmus and the team -- They've changed my perception of dentistry.
Dr Vu and all of the staff at Isthmus Dental are kind, caring and focus on quality care. I have been a patient for over 30 years and I highly recommend this dental clinic.
I have been a patient of Isthmus Dental for the past 32 years, which was long before it became Isthmus Dental. Regardless the name change and some of the staff having changed with retirements and others moving on I still get the same treatment I received when I walked through the door for my first appointment. All of the staff are personable making you feel right at home. They discuss with you any issues and concerns they have and will offer recommendations or if a follow up will be needed to correct the issue. I went to my same childhood dentist until I moved to Madison and then Isthmus Dental which came recommended. I guess when you have a good thing going you stick with it and I highly recommend them for any of your dental needs!!
I have been a patient with Isthmus Dental for about 10 years, and I always get wonderful care from attentive and skillful providers. The front desk team is helpful and responsive. My hygienist Jamie is kind, puts me at ease, and does a great job. Dr. Vu is always gentle & attentive to my comfort as a patient, explains the treatment recommendations & options, and communicates well during exams/procedures. Hats off to the whole team!
