At DeWan Dental Wellness we provide several dental procedures and techniques to improve your smile, and most people are surprised by how quickly they can work.

Do you think you might have TMJ disorder? Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues can cause pain and broken crowns, shrink your smile, and contribute to the wearing away of your teeth. Very often, TMJ issues are caused by occlusal disease, a malfunction in the way your teeth come together. If left untreated, these issues can lead to wear and damage on your teeth, causing tooth loss and breakage, and extensive repair.

They are out of my insurance network but I'd rather pay for quality then just get a good deal anywhere. Friendly staff and extremely knowledgeable. I recommend this place to everyone! I've been to a lot of dentists and would rather pay twice as much as what they charge, then go to a place that doesn't provide the same level of service. Trust me it's worth it. If you care about your health, and see having a nice smile as an investment, this is the place to go!

Dewan Mental Wellness is not a typo but rather my nickname for this medical practice. I love being treated as a whole person, rather than a mouth separated from its body as is too often the case at doctors' offices. Having studied art, I try to arrive early, allowing a few moments to admire & enjoy the placement and choice of individual art pieces. Patients are treated according to individual needs rather than financial constraints laid down by insurance companies. Individualized attention & much friendliness, combined with skilled treatment put me very much at ease. Unless you have to take the elevator, I advise using the stairs as there is a wonderful treat on the landing.

I used to not be afraid of the dentist until I went here and never had an issues with other dental offices. The person who did my cavity filling not only didn't align my teeth after the filling was made, but must have also hit a nerve when drilling. I ended up with terrible pain for days until I went back in to get it fixed. The owner was nice enough to try to fix it, but it was too late and he basically threw his employee under the bus as being new.
Long story short, I ended up having tooth complications for a year afterwards as a result of something that happened to the nerve under the tooth. When people talk about dental horror stories, I never thought it would happen to me. I ended up going to my old dentist in another city who took way better care of me afterwards.

Nothing will make me look forward to seeing the dentist, so I typically only go when I am desperate or something hurts. Well, something hurt. I had an abscess, and it was killing me. Due to the recent virus panic, no one is seeing new patients, and I can not even remember who my old dentist was, it's been so long, I got in within a few days, was x-rayed, and then given an appointment for a root canal the following week.
I was also given a prescription for antibiotic. When I returned, I was given an accounting of the costs, after insurance, and an explanation of what was to happen. Everyone was kind, all were respectful, and I was told (warned) that the process would take two hours. The shot for numbing did not hurt, nor did most of the dental work. There were a couple of very brief instances where I felt a stab of pain, but they were very brief, and nothing when you consider that this was a very intrusive procedure - a root canal.
I notice that a white filling was used instead of the cheaper mercury amalgams that I am used to. It was an interesting process, while they used the filling, and then cured it. I was warned that my mouth would be sore, and was advised that Advil might help. I noticed little pain though. My tooth felt like an itch that I could not scratch. The discomfort lasted for a day and a half, and is now gone.
One thing that I noticed from other reviews is that this practice is out of network. What this means depends upon your insurance. For me, it meant a copay and less than 100% payment from the insurer. I ended up paying less than $350 - for a two hour root canal procedure. I don't consider that terrible. In network dentists must abide by standards and cost cutting measures of the insurer, which often means getting treatment that may not be ideal.
As an example, an in network dentist would have been more likely to use a mercury amalgam filling. An in network dentist may have done an extraction instead of a root canal. You never know. Insurance can tie the hands of a doctor or dentist, and I don't mind paying a bit more for better treatment.

Simply the best and friendliest dentist I've ever had! We've been using DeWan Dental (upon the recommendation of a friend) for the past 19 years, and have referred many others to them. They are wonderful with children and adults, and provide excellent care and understanding for our special needs child. Thanks, Mike, Laura, and your entire staff! Ron Foster

Dr. DeWan and his staff and DeWan Dental Wellness are just really fantastic. I've never actually felt this way about a dentist, but I really love this place. We no longer live in Milwaukee but while we were there we were clients of Dr. DeWan. The service and care is always professional and caring. It is obvious that Dr. DeWan and his staff love their work and their patients.
It is also very apparent that Dr. DeWan is simply a kind, compassionate person who truly cares about people. His gentle nature and encouragement toward my young son was exactly what he needed to feel comfortable. He always took time to talk with my husband and I during our visits to be sure all our questions were answered. They even gave us pillows to help keep us comfortable in the dental chair! I don't know that we will ever find a dentist like him. He is one-of-a-kind, for sure. If you live in Milwaukee, Dr. DeWan should be your dentist. He is the best!

Extraordinary care, outstanding staff! I've been a patient for nearly 20 years and have always received the best possible care. Dr. DeWan takes the time to answer all your questions and attend to your every concern. He and his staff are friendly, professional, thorough and helpful. On a few occasions I've needed an urgent appointment and they are always able to get me in quickly and skillfully fix the problem.
Their rates are competitive, their office is cheerful and comfortable, but most importantly they take care of you well, with little or no pain. I love how involved they are in the community too.it's a reflection of their dedication to people-centered, not profit-centered, health and their just downright happy attitude. : I recommend DeWan Dental every chance I get. They are the best!

I've been a patient at DeWan Dental Wellness ever since I moved to Milwaukee 10 years ago. They provide the best dental services I've ever experienced! Part of what makes them special is the extra attention to my comfort. I actually look forward to my regular appointments, because they're a chance to take a break out of my busy day. Mike, Lora, Amy, and the whole staff do an amazing job.
