Dental implants and restorative care
Dentist for Milwaukee, WI Patients
Implants, crowns and bridges that bring back a full, working smile.
Wauwatosa sits immediately west of Milwaukee, and the office is on W North Ave, the same street that starts at Lake Michigan on the city’s east side. The office provides the full range of care, including treatment to replace a missing tooth or rebuild one that is badly worn or broken. A dental implant replaces the root of a lost tooth, and a custom crown on top restores the part you see and chew with. Planning starts with a free implant consultation that includes a CBCT 3D scan, so the dentist can see the bone and nearby structures before recommending anything. If a tooth can still be saved, crowns, bridges and other restorative treatment are discussed first.

Restorative Dentistry for Milwaukee Residents
Milwaukee is the county seat of Milwaukee County, and Wauwatosa shares that county as its neighbor to the west. Wauwatosa Dental Arts has served Wauwatosa and the greater Milwaukee area since 1981, with implant and restorative care handled in the same office as routine checkups.
Ways to Replace or Rebuild Teeth
- Single dental implants An implant, an abutment and a custom crown replace one missing tooth without reshaping the teeth beside it.
- Implant-supported dentures A denture held in place by implants, for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth in an arch.
- Crowns and bridges A crown covers a weakened tooth, and a bridge fills a gap by anchoring to the teeth on either side.
- Same-day CEREC crowns Designed and milled in the office with CAD/CAM technology, often finished in a single visit.
How Implant Planning Works
- A free consultation with a cone beam CT 3D scan to check bone and anatomy before treatment is recommended
- Intraoral scanners for digital impressions instead of trays of impression material

Keeping Your Own Teeth Where Possible
An implant is not always the first answer. A cracked or heavily filled tooth can often be protected with a crown, and an infected one may be saved with root canal therapy before replacement is considered. The dentist explains which teeth can be restored, which cannot, and why, so you can compare the options side by side. More on restorative dentistry.

Milwaukee Patients: Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the office in Milwaukee?
- No, the office is in Wauwatosa, at 11600 W North Ave on the corner of N 116th St, Wauwatosa, WI 53226. Wauwatosa borders Milwaukee to the west, and both cities are in Milwaukee County. North Avenue connects the two cities.
- Is a dental implant consultation free?
- Yes, the implant consultation is free and includes a CBCT 3D scan. The scan shows the jawbone and nearby structures in three dimensions, which helps the dentist judge whether an implant is a good fit. You leave the visit with a clear picture of the options before committing to anything.
- What is included in the $399/month implant special?
- The special covers the implant, the abutment and the custom crown. The implant replaces the root, the abutment connects it to the crown, and the crown is the visible tooth. The team can explain how the monthly payment works and how it fits with your insurance at your consultation.
- Should I get an implant or a bridge?
- It depends on the health of the teeth beside the gap and the bone where the tooth was lost. A bridge anchors to the neighboring teeth, while an implant stands on its own without involving them. The dentist reviews your scan and X-rays and explains the trade-offs of each option before you decide.
- Can a damaged tooth be saved instead of replaced?
- Often, yes, and saving a natural tooth is discussed before replacing it. A crown can protect a cracked or weakened tooth, and root canal therapy can treat infection inside it. Replacement is only recommended when a tooth cannot be predictably restored.
- Does insurance help with restorative care?
- Coverage depends on your plan, and the practice works with many major insurance plans. The team reviews your benefits and gives you an estimate before treatment begins. Multiple payment options are available, including financing through CareCredit and Lending Club.
