Dental Examination
Periodontal exams are vital in the maintenance of your oral health as they are used to assess the health of your gums and teeth. They can help your dentist diagnose gum diseases, gingivitis and periodontitis. These exams can also reveal receding gums, exposed roots, tooth grinding and other problems, making periodontal exams vital to maintaining proper oral health. Regular dental exams are important as they can reveal evidence of gum disease in its early stages.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Like all cancer screenings, regular oral cancer screenings are necessary in order to catch and treat the disease as early as possible.

Teeth Cleaning
Performed by a dental hygienist or dentist, cleanings serve two purposes: to remove bacterial plaque and calculus (hardened deposits of plaque) from tooth surfaces missed during daily brushing and flossing; and to remove stains that can dull your smile.
Fluoride Treatment
For decades, fluoride has been held in high regard by the dental community as an important mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, which thereby helps to prevent decay of tooth structures.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are liquid coatings that harden on the chewing surfaces of teeth and are showing a great deal of effectiveness in preventing cavities — even on teeth where decay has begun.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Bonding is more susceptible to staining or chipping than other forms of restoration such as veneers. When teeth are chipped or slightly decayed, bonded composite resins may be the material of choice. Bonding also is used as a tooth-colored filling for small cavities and broken or chipped surfaces.
Veneers
All-porcelain (ceramic) dental materials include porcelain, ceramic or glasslike fillings and crowns. They are used as inlays, onlays, crowns and aesthetic veneers. A veneer is a very thin shell of porcelain that can replace or cover part of the enamel of the tooth. All-porcelain (ceramic) restorations are particularly desirable because their color and translucency mimic natural tooth enamel. All-porcelain restorations require a minimum of two visits and possibly more. The restorations are prone to fracture when placed under tension or on impact. Their strength depends on an adequate thickness of porcelain and the ability to be bonded to the underlying tooth. They are highly resistant to wear but the porcelain can quickly wear opposing teeth if the porcelain surface becomes rough.
Crowns
In addition, bonding can be used to close spaces between teeth or cover the entire outside surface of a tooth to change its color and shape. Crowns, also known as caps, are used in cases where other procedures will not be effective. Crowns have the longest life expectancy of all cosmetic restorations, but are the most time consuming.
Bridges
Crowns and bridges are dental procedures that are performed when teeth suffer extensive damage, compromising their structure. A crown fits over the top of a single tooth that has lost most of its surface due to decay, large previous restorations or cracks within the the tooth itself. Bridges are semi-permanent prosthetics used to replace one or more teeth that have lost or removed.
Dental Bonding
Whitening agents actually change the color of your teeth, but only are effective on certain types of stains. For example, bleaching agents have a difficult time removing brownish or grayish stains. These products also are not as effective on pitted or badly discolored teeth, or on restorations such as crowns, bridges, bonding and tooth-colored fillings (porcelain veneers or dental bonding may be more appropriate in this case).
Restorative Dentistry

Root Canal Treatment
Tooth decay is caused by a variety of things. Most frequently, foods high in sugar and carbohydrates are the culprit. Left inside your mouth from non-brushing and flossing, these materials break down quickly, allowing bacteria to do their dirty work in the form of a harmful, colorless sticky substance called plaque. The plaque works in concert with leftover food particles in your mouth to form harmful acids that destroy enamel and other tooth structures. If cavities aren’t treated early enough, they can lead to more serious problems requiring treatments such as root canal therapy.

Deep Cleaning

Dentures
Before development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth. Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. They are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.
Overdentures

Dental Implants
While implants are a great option for some, they may not be the best fit for everyone. For a successful implant to take hold, a candidate must have proper bone density and have a strong immune system. In all cases, dental implants require strict oral hygiene.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery

Orthodontics
Hello, my name is Cassie! I have always loved going to the dentist, and knew I wanted to pursue dentistry as a lifelong career. I came to Karls Family Dentistry in 2022, with previous experience in orthodontics. I LOVE the family atmosphere that Karls Family Dentistry brings on a daily basis, it’s such a blessing! Outside of the office, my life revolves around spending time with friends, family, and of course, my fur baby Bo. In the spring and summer, I love spending time outside and being out on the water enjoying Lake Wisconsin. In the fall and winter I am enjoying all things football, GO PACK GO!
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign’s® invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners will give you the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted. And best of all, no one can tell you’re wearing them. Invisalign is great for adults and teenagers.
Braces
For decades, having straight teeth meant years of unsightly and painful metal braces. Invisalign works differently, using sets of invisible, removable aligners that are much more comfortable than traditional braces. Best of all no one can tell you’re wearing them, making them great for both adults and teenagers.

Teeth Whitening
More and more people today are choosing tooth-whitening procedures to reverse the effects of aging and abuse from food and tobacco stains. Some commercially available “whitening toothpastes” can be somewhat effective at removing stains and making teeth a few shades brighter. However, many of these products have abrasive substances that can actually wear away your tooth’s enamel.
Cosmetic Dentistry
General Dentistry
In 1970 Dr. Stan returned to Waunakee to establish Karls Family Dentistry and he has been practicing general dentistry here ever since. He enjoys working with people of all ages and appreciates the opportunity to see multiple generations of families.
