First Choice Dental is giving Monona residents something new to smile about. The practice will officially be opening to the public on Aug. 11 and accepting new patients. Additionally, First Choice Dental is planning a grand opening celebration for its newest location in September that will include tours of the clinic, opportunities to meet the team, a ribbon-cutting ceremony and an appearance by a local food truck.
“We hope it’s a fun way for neighbors to stop in, see the space and get to know us,” said Danielle Turner, First Choice Dental Vice President of Clinical Operations. “We’ve wanted to be part of the Monona community for quite some time.”
Since its founding in 1996, First Choice Dental has continued to grow steadily into more than a dozen locations across Dane County. Turner said Monona represents a logical next step for expansion because of its strong family-oriented community, thriving local businesses and convenient location.
“We know many of our existing patients live or work in Monona, and opening a clinic here allows us to make exceptional dental care even more accessible while welcoming new patients,” she added.
Led by Dr. Michael Hampton, the new office features unique amenities while still maintaining the same high level of integrity patients have come to expect from the First Choice Dental brand. A few examples: Digital scanners eliminate the need for messy impressions, and state-of-the-art AI-assisted imaging technology helps doctors quickly identify and treat any areas of concern with great precision.
“The Monona clinic was built from the ground up with the latest technology, efficient clinical workflows and thoughtful design features that prioritize comfort from the moment patients walk through the door,” Turner said. “We wanted a clinic that feels warm, welcoming and calming while also supporting efficient, high-quality care.”
From the layout and the lighting to the equipment and the technology, every detail of the Monona office works cohesively to create an excellent comprehensive experience for patients of all ages from check-in to checkout.
“Our goal is that families in Monona will have a dental home they can count on for every stage of life,” Turner said. “Whether it’s helping a child feel comfortable during their first visit, restoring a smile or providing preventive care that keeps patients healthy, we want to make high-quality dental care convenient, accessible and personal.”
According to Turner, First Choice Dental looks forward to putting down roots in Monona by building strong relationships with the local community.
“For more than 30 years, First Choice Dental has believed that being part of a community means more than simply opening a dental office,” she said. “It means creating jobs, supporting local organizations and schools, and partnering with community events. We want to be a long-term partner in Monona’s growth and well-being.”
For First Choice Dental, that community-centered care starts with treating each client like they’re part of the family.
“We want every patient to leave feeling cared for, respected and confident they have a dental team that’s invested in their health — not just for today, but for years to come,” Turner said.
