Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that function like natural teeth. Our Milwaukee dentists perform comprehensive evaluations to ensure implant suitability, using advanced techniques for jawbone integration. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime while maintaining facial structure and preventing bone loss. Our team specializes in creating natural-looking restorations that restore both function and aesthetics for single or multiple missing teeth.
Crowns/Cerec Crowns
CEREC technology enables same-day crown fabrication for damaged or decayed teeth. We use digital scanning to create precise restorations milled in-office while you wait. These durable ceramic crowns preserve tooth structure while providing natural aesthetics. Traditional lab-fabricated crowns remain available for complex cases requiring specialized materials or aesthetics.
Cleaning and Exams
Regular cleanings and comprehensive exams form the foundation of oral health maintenance. Our hygienists perform periodontal charting, oral cancer screenings, and digital X-rays to detect early issues. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup while patient education emphasizes proper home care techniques to prevent dental disease and maintain fresh breath.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening options include in-office Opalescence Boost treatments for immediate results and custom take-home trays for gradual lightening. Our dental team recommends appropriate solutions based on individual tooth sensitivity and staining patterns. These treatments effectively address discoloration from medications, diet, or aging while minimizing enamel sensitivity.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting gaps, stains, and minor misalignments. Minimal tooth preparation preserves dental structure while achieving natural-looking results. Custom-fabricated veneers match surrounding teeth in color and translucency, providing durable solutions for improving tooth shape, size, and overall smile aesthetics through conservative cosmetic dentistry.

As a new patient I've been very pleased with the staff from start to finish. The wait upon arrival is minimal and everyone is very friendly. Procedures are always explained both before and during. If you are looking for a new dentist I would definitely recommend them.

Though going to the dentist is hard for some people, I've never felt that way about going to The Dentists South Shore. The entire staff is pleasant, kind and efficient. I've been seeing Ronnie for a number of years and she is wonderful. I would highly recommend The Dentists South Shore.
