Restorative Dentistry
We restore damaged or missing teeth through crowns, bridges, and dentures. Our techniques ensure functional recovery and natural aesthetics. Patients receive durable solutions tailored to their oral health needs.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Porcelain veneers and whitening transform smiles by correcting color, shape, and alignment. We create customized plans to achieve natural-looking, confidence-boosting results using advanced materials.
Preventive Services
Regular cleanings, exams, and digital imaging prevent dental issues. Our recall system ensures consistent care, reducing risks of decay and gum disease through proactive monitoring.
Dentures
Custom-fitted complete or partial dentures restore function and appearance. We provide adjustments and relines to maintain comfort and effectiveness over time for confident daily use.
Root Canals
We treat infected or damaged pulp with precision root canal therapy. This procedure alleviates pain and preserves natural teeth, preventing extraction while restoring oral health.

He is awful! Price gouges, waaaaayyyyy over priced, don't know how he keeps patients. I have never in my life had a dentist charge so much for a filling or tooth pulled and doesn't give you the price up front. Would not recommend this dentist to anybody. The staff is not very friendly either. Don't go there, find another dentist that is honest.

I am so pleased with the new dentures that I have from Baxter Dental. They fit perfectly and I have not even had a sore spot from the beginning. I also have been so pleased and impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff (and Dr. Baxter) at Baxter Dental. I cannot say enough. What a wonderful experience! Thank you!

Baxter Dental saved my vacation! Shortly after arriving in the Dells with my family, I got a terrible tooth ache. I called several offices in the area but nobody could work me in as a new patient. Baxter Dental offered to help! They put me on their already busy schedule, worked me right in and quickly identified the problem. They fixed my tooth and managed my pain. They were so sympathetic, kind and very knowledgeable. They got me in and out in less than an hour and charged me a very fair amount! I would highly recommend this practice to anyone! They saved my vacation!

Was not seen here, chose to look elsewhere after the individual answering calls answered one question, then as I was continuing to ask my next question responded "Ok, bye" and hung up the phone. Definitely left a very unpleasant first impression.
