First Choice Dental's Strategic Expansion in Wisconsin

In a recent development, First Choice Dental, a well-established multi-specialty dental group in Wisconsin since 1996, has partnered with Milwaukee Dental Partners (MDP) to enhance its service accessibility across southeastern Wisconsin. This partnership includes the integration of three notable practices: Oakbrook Dental in West Bend, Jackson Family Dentistry in Jackson, and Sauk Trail Dental in Saukville, thereby increasing First Choice Dental’s footprint to 20 locations in southern and southeastern Wisconsin.

Effective from October 26, 2026, this partnership ensures that the practices retain their individual identities and continue to operate under their existing names. Patients can expect the same high-grade care from the familiar team of doctors and hygienists they have come to trust. Furthermore, the offices will uphold their current relationships with insurance providers, so patients can seamlessly transition into the expanded network without any disruption.

With the integration of MDP, First Choice Dental's offerings are set to broaden significantly. Patients will now gain access to an extensive array of dental services including orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery. Kelly Thompson, President and Chief Operating Officer of First Choice Dental, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "Dr. Major and his team share our belief that great dental care starts with trust and long-term relationships." She emphasized the importance of the community ties that MDP has established, underlining First Choice Dental’s dedication to nurture these existing connections while expanding their service capabilities.

Thompson elaborated on the approach First Choice Dental takes, which is centered around empowering doctors to make clinical decisions backed by operational support and resources. She noted, "Taking care of our patients starts with taking care of our people," signifying the organization's commitment to providing their teams with the necessary training and operational support to enhance patient care.

Dr. Pako Major, founder of Milwaukee Dental Partners, highlighted the primary aim of the partnership: accessibility and improvement of patient care. "I founded Milwaukee Dental Partners to do more good for more people and to create a place where our doctors and team members could grow," he mentioned. Dr. Major noted that this alliance would empower patients with a wider range of care options while providing team members greater opportunities for mentorship and professional development, aligning with their core mission to enhance community-focused care.

This collaboration marks First Choice Dental’s continued efforts to broaden its service areas beyond Dane County, representing their first expansion into communities north of Milwaukee. Earlier this year, they opened a new office in Janesville to serve patients in Rock County, with plans for an additional office in Pewaukee set to open in December 2026. This consistent growth showcases First Choice Dental's commitment to delivering comprehensive dental care across Wisconsin, ensuring more families have access to quality services.

Established in 1996, First Choice Dental has continuously focused on serving families in Wisconsin with an extensive range of dental services, covering general and preventive dentistry, as well as specialized care including dental implants and emergency services. The organization prides itself on fostering long-term patient relationships and creating a comfortable dental care environment.

Milwaukee Dental Partners, established in 2019, has provided family dentistry to over 6,600 active patients, embodying the principle of doing more good for more people through quality care and continued education. Their practices have seamlessly integrated into the wider First Choice Dental network, promising a bright future for enhanced dental care accessibility in Wisconsin.

As First Choice Dental and Milwaukee Dental Partners work together, patients can look forward to a more connected, resource-rich dental experience, reflecting the shared commitment of both groups to community well-being and excellent patient care.
