Family & Preventive Care

Dentist Serving Thiensville, WI

Checkups, cleanings and children’s care for Thiensville families, a short way over in Mequon.

Thiensville families come to our Mequon office for the everyday care that keeps teeth and gums healthy: exams, cleanings, digital X-rays and visits for children from age one. Thiensville and Mequon already share a library, a school district and fire and emergency services, and many households here treat the two communities as one. Our dentists see patients of every age, so parents, children and grandparents can keep their checkups in one place. We explain what we find in plain language and walk you through your options. New patients are always welcome, whether you are due for a cleaning or returning after time away.

Family and Preventive Dentistry for Thiensville Households

Thiensville and Mequon, Side by Side

Thiensville is a village in Ozaukee County on the Milwaukee River, and it is surrounded by the City of Mequon on all sides. The two communities share a chamber of commerce, the Frank L. Weyenberg Library, a school district and fire and emergency services. Our office sits in Mequon on N Port Washington Road near Mequon Road, so for many Thiensville families the dentist is simply the next community over.


What Thiensville Families Come In For

  • Exams and cleanings A thorough exam with digital X-rays and a professional cleaning that clears plaque, tartar and surface stains. Exams, X-rays and cleanings
  • Care for children Gentle visits from age one, with sealants, fluoride and plain explanations that help kids settle into the chair. Pediatric dentistry
  • Tooth-colored fillings Natural-looking composite to repair a cavity once it has been found. Composite fillings
  • Oral cancer screening A routine check for early warning signs, done as part of the exam. Oral cancer screening

Why Prevention Comes First

For most people, an exam and cleaning twice a year keeps things on track, and we may suggest a different schedule if your gums or your history of cavities call for it. Regular visits are where small problems get caught before they turn painful or expensive. Our general dentistry covers children, teens, adults and seniors, so a whole household can keep its care in one familiar place.

Thiensville Patients: Frequently Asked Questions

Is the office in Thiensville?
No, the office is in Mequon, at 10033 N Port Washington Road, Suite 150, Mequon, WI 53092. Thiensville is surrounded by the City of Mequon, so the office is in the neighboring community rather than inside the village. Many patients come from Thiensville and the rest of Ozaukee County. Call (262) 241-5558 or book online to schedule a visit.
Do you see children as well as adults?
Yes, the dentists see patients of every age, from a child’s first visit at age one to seniors. Children get an unhurried pace, friendly explanations and preventive care such as sealants and fluoride, and parents are kept informed at every step. Booking family members back to back can keep the whole household on one schedule.
How often should my family come in for checkups?
For most people, an exam and cleaning twice a year keeps everything on track. Some patients need more frequent visits because of gum disease or a history of frequent cavities. The dentist recommends a schedule based on each person’s own oral health, and children’s timing is set at their exams.
What should I bring to a first visit?
Bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card if you have dental coverage, a list of the medications you take and copies of recent X-rays or records from a previous dentist. Those records let the dentist see your history and can avoid repeating images you already have. Plan on about an hour for a standard exam and cleaning.
Do you take my insurance?
The office is in network with Delta Dental and also works with Cigna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare, along with many other major plans. Share your coverage details when you book, and the team will confirm your benefits and estimate your costs before treatment begins. If you do not have insurance, several payment options are available.
What if I have not seen a dentist in years?
You are welcome here, and you will not be judged for the gap. The first visit starts with a gentle, thorough evaluation and a conversation about your goals. From there the dentist lays out a step-by-step plan to bring your oral health back on track, one stage at a time.
