What your two dentists hold, and what they belong to

Any dentist in America can print cosmetic dentist on the door. There is no board, no exam and no register behind those two words. Accreditation with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry is the exam, and fewer than five percent of its members hold it.

Dr. Tang has held it since 1994. He was the first dentist in Wisconsin to join the AACD, and he is still the only accredited one in Greater Milwaukee.

Why patients stay

Three things this practice is built on.

Two of them are things most dental offices cannot offer at all. The third is the reason a lot of people have not seen a dentist in years.

01

A credential you can check

The problem: “cosmetic dentist” is a claim anyone can make, and no register exists to check it against.

AACD accreditation takes a written examination in smile design, materials and occlusion, a set of submitted case studies judged on diagnosis and artistry, an oral examination on those cases, and two AACD workshops. Dr. Tang passed all of it in 1994 and is one of roughly 400 accredited dentists worldwide.

02

One visit, not three

The problem: a crown normally means an impression, two weeks in a temporary, and a second appointment.

The CEREC® mill is in the building. We scan the tooth, design the restoration on screen with you, and cut it from a porcelain block while you wait. Crowns, veneers, inlays and onlays, finished and bonded the same day, with no temporary and no second trip. They carry a five‑year guarantee.

03

Sedation, if you need it

The problem: fear keeps people out of the chair until something hurts badly enough to force the issue.

Dr. Tang completed a fellowship in sedation dentistry and the practice offers oral conscious sedation, from laughing gas for a cleaning through to full sedation for a long reconstruction. Tell us when you book and the appointment is planned around it.

Treatment recommendations always follow a comprehensive oral evaluation. Treatment planning, consultations and second opinions are free; candidacy, timing and cost are discussed with you before anything is booked.

Meet your dentists

Two dentists. One practice. One set of records.

Dr. Tang has served Brookfield for close to three decades. Dr. Woytych joined to practise the same way: listen first, explain everything, and decide together.

What AACD accreditation actually required

A written examination covering smile design, dental materials and occlusion. A set of submitted case studies, judged on diagnostic skill, clinical execution and artistic result.

Everything a family needs, in one building.

Cosmetic, restorative and general dentistry under one roof, for patients of all ages. Whether you need preventive care, a rebuilt tooth or a new smile, it is planned and finished here.

A crown, finished while you wait

CEREC®, instead of two weeks in a temporary.

The conventional route is an impression, a courier to an outside lab, two weeks in a temporary restoration, then a second appointment to fit the real one. The mill is in this building, so that whole loop collapses into one visit.

  1. A digital scan of the tooth, uploaded straight into the design software
  2. CAD/CAM builds the restoration to the exact dimensions of the gap
  3. The in‑house mill cuts it from a porcelain block while you wait
  4. Bonded the same day, with almost no adjustment needed and no temporary

Before you come in

Patient information.

Everything you would normally have to call and ask for. If it is not here, the front desk will tell you on the phone in under a minute.

Your first visit

Plan on about an hour. You will be met by the front desk and taken through registration; if you printed the new patient forms and filled them in first, that part takes a moment.

The exam covers your medical and dental history, an oral cancer screening, a tooth‑by‑tooth check for decay, the condition of existing dental work, gum tissue, your TMJ joints and how your bite fits together, plus digital X‑rays and intraoral photographs where they are needed.

Forms and paperwork

There are two new patient forms, one adult and one child. Print the right one, fill it in and bring it with your insurance card and a list of any medications you take.

If you cannot print, arrive ten to fifteen minutes early and do it here. Appointments cancelled less than 24 hours ahead may incur a charge, so call as soon as you know.

Insurance and payment

The office accepts a variety of PPOs and other health plans. Call before your visit and we will verify your carrier rather than leave you guessing at the desk.

Payment by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, check or cash. CareCredit is accepted, and you can apply at carecredit.com before you come in.

Free consultations and second opinions

Treatment planning, consultations and second‑opinion visits cost nothing here. If you have been given a plan elsewhere and it does not sit right, bring it in.

Dental treatment plans get overwhelming quickly. The point of a free consultation is that you can ask what the alternatives are without it costing you to ask.

The five-year guarantee

On in‑house CEREC crowns. If one breaks or fractures and you have kept up your regular recare visits with us since the work was done, it is replaced at no cost to you. It does not cover problems arising from periodontal disease, cracked tooth syndrome or new decay.

In a dental emergency

Infection, a knocked‑out or broken tooth, a lost crown or sudden severe pain. Call the office during opening hours and you will be seen as soon as we can fit you in. If you are having a serious or life‑threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Call (262) 200-8000

Common questions

Questions patients ask first.

Do you take my insurance?

The office accepts a variety of PPOs and other health plans, but the list changes and it is not worth guessing. Call (262) 200‑8000 before your visit and we will verify your specific carrier. CareCredit is also accepted, and you can apply at carecredit.com in advance.

Can I really get a crown in one visit?

Yes, for most cases. The CEREC® mill is in the building, so the tooth is scanned, the restoration is designed on screen and cut from a porcelain block while you wait, then bonded the same day. No impression tray, no temporary and no second appointment. In‑house CEREC crowns carry a five‑year guarantee.

I am anxious about the dentist. What do you do differently?

Tell us when you book, and the appointment gets planned around it. Dr. Tang completed a fellowship in sedation dentistry, so the options run from laughing gas for a cleaning, through localised medication, to full sedation for a long reconstruction. Which one is right is decided with you at a consultation, not on the day.

What does AACD accreditation mean, and why should I care?

Cosmetic dentistry is not a recognised ADA specialty, so any general dentist can advertise it. Accreditation with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry is the closest thing to an examination that exists: a written paper, submitted case studies, an oral examination and two workshops. Fewer than five percent of AACD members hold it. Dr. Tang has since 1994.

Can I get a second opinion without paying for it?

Yes. Treatment planning, consultations and second‑opinion visits are free. If you have a treatment plan from another practice and want to understand the alternatives before committing, bring it in.

When are you open?

Monday 9:00 to 5:00, Tuesday 8:00 to 4:00, Wednesday and Thursday 9:00 to 5:00, Friday 9:00 to 4:00. Closed Saturday and Sunday. The practice is at 17185 W North Ave and serves patients from Brookfield, Elm Grove, Waukesha, Pewaukee, New Berlin, Menomonee Falls, Wauwatosa and Milwaukee.
