Our Practice Philosophy
The primary focus of everything we do at Mosinee Smiles will always be providing personalized patient care. Our staff will never put any pressure on you to have a service or operation, and we always endeavor to ensure that patients are fully informed of all of their treatment options. We’ll do everything we can to protect your natural teeth wherever possible. We will treat you like a part of our family from the moment you walk into our office, and we will never provide care or advice that we wouldn’t provide to our own families. In every situation, we make an effort to inform patients about everything we do, from procedures to billing, because we believe that dental decisions should be honest and unambiguous.

Robyn – Dental Hygienist
Robyn was born in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. After graduating from high school and later earning her Dental Assisting certification from Southwest Wisconsin Technical College, she moved to central Wisconsin in 2012. What drew Robyn to the dental field was her experience as a child having poor oral health: she wanted to become part of the dental profession to help educate others—especially children—on the importance of oral health. She believes if people are educated on the connection between oral health and overall health, as well as the proper tools, techniques, and products of dental hygiene, they will find a much more positive and healthy lifestyle. Robyn brings a welcoming attitude and great communication skills, along with over five years of dental experience in multiple roles. What she likes most about working at Mosinee Smiles is the friendly atmosphere and being part of a great office that offers outstanding care to our area.
