Pediatric Dentistry focus in Waukesha, with children / pediatric dentistry listed among 25 documented services.

Read full description

Hillcrest Family Dental operates on East Main Street in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

1700, Coral Drive, Waukesha, Wisconsin

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Waukesha clinic with a pediatric dentistry specialty — Children / Pediatric Dentistry is on file among 29 procedures.

Read full description

Proven Dental is at 1700 Coral Drive in Waukesha, Wisconsin — on the Coral Drive corridor in central Waukesha, accessible from the surrounding Waukesha, Brookfield, and New Berlin communities. Dr. James Murphy leads this comprehensive family dental practice whose clinical scope covers not only the standard general and cosmetic range but also oral surgery, periodontal surgery, orthodontics, and cosmetic contouring.

Cosmetic contouring is listed as a specific service — the selective removal of small amounts of enamel to reshape and refine the appearance of teeth without any bonding material, crown preparation, or veneer placement. Contouring can correct minor overlapping, rough edges, pointed canine tips, and asymmetric tooth lengths in cases where small enamel modifications produce a significant cosmetic improvement at minimal clinical intervention. At a Waukesha family dental practice, contouring offers a cost-effective and reversible cosmetic entry point before recommending more extensive bonding or veneer work.

Periodontal surgery alongside oral surgery and endodontics positions this Coral Drive practice at the comprehensive surgical and tissue management end of general dental scope. Periodontal surgery covers the osseous surgery, flap procedures, and crown lengthening that advanced periodontal disease cases require beyond scaling and root planing. Oral surgery covers extractions, wisdom tooth removal, and alveolar procedures. The combination of these in-house capabilities reduces the specialist referral burden for Waukesha patients who need surgical dental care.

Orthodontics and Invisalign cover the alignment range. Oral cancer screening is explicitly listed. TMJ/TMD treatment addresses the jaw dysfunction that presents in the Waukesha commuter professional demographic. Dental sealants for paediatric preventive care, smile makeovers, and sedation dentistry complete the preventive and cosmetic scope.

For Waukesha, Brookfield, and New Berlin-adjacent patients on Coral Drive who want a family dental practice with cosmetic contouring, periodontal surgery, oral surgery, endodontics, and orthodontics under one roof, Dr. Murphy's 1700 Coral Drive address provides that combination.

Suite O1, 2120, East Moreland Boulevard, Waukesha, Wisconsin

Closed · Opens today at 9 AM

Pediatric Dentistry is the documented focus in Waukesha; Children / Pediatric Dentistry sits within 16 services on profile.

Read full description

Superior Dental Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is a dental practice on East Moreland Boulevard in Waukesha, Wisconsin. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

Based on Dolphin Court in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Dental Associates Waukesha is a dental practice serving the area. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

Wisdom teeth are removed when they are impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed, or damaging the tooth in front, since they arrive last and often into a jaw with no room left. Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out — one that erupts cleanly and can be kept clean is often left alone. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

How to Choose a Dentist in Waukesha

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 5, 2026Independently reviewed

Paediatric dental specialists in Waukesha, Wisconsin serve the child patient community of one of Wisconsin's wealthiest counties — a suburban community thirty minutes west of Milwaukee whose household income, commercial dental insurance coverage rates, and proximity to the Marquette University School of Dentistry's paediatric dental programme in Milwaukee create a paediatric dental access environment that is meaningfully different from the Milwaukee metro's urban paediatric dental access challenge. ProHealth Care's Waukesha Memorial Hospital provides the hospital dentistry access point for the Waukesha County paediatric dental specialist managing the severe early childhood caries case requiring general anaesthesia and the medically complex paediatric dental patient whose care requires hospital operating room support. BadgerCare Plus covers dental care for eligible Wisconsin children, and the Waukesha County paediatric dental practices that actively bill the covered paediatric benefit serve the lower-income Waukesha County family alongside their commercially insured patient majority.

Smyleee evaluated Waukesha paediatric dental specialists on ABPD board certification or Marquette University-aligned residency training, ProHealth Care hospital dentistry connectivity, BadgerCare Plus billing for covered paediatric services, geographic distribution across Waukesha County rather than downtown Waukesha concentration only, special needs patient management scope, and paediatric clinical outcome consistency. These ten Waukesha practices are the paediatric dentists the data confirmed as delivering the most clinically capable specialist paediatric dental care available in the Greater Waukesha community.
