A great smile isn’t built in a day—it’s built through consistency.

Want to level up your oral health routine? Start with the little things that make a big difference:
🪥 Upgrade to an electric toothbrush for a more effective clean.
🦷 Don’t skip the floss—it’s one of the most underrated habits for a healthy smile.
📅 Keep up with your professional cleanings every six months.

The secret to a healthy, confident smile isn’t perfection—it’s showing up for it every day. Because a consistent smile is a happy smile.

A knocked-out adult tooth can be scary—but acting quickly can make all the difference.

If your child’s adult tooth is knocked out during sports, play, or an accident at home, the first step is to call our office immediately. Wolken Family Dental and Dr. Chris and Dr. Andy do their best to be available for dental emergencies like this, and timing is extremely important. Ideally, we want to see patients within the first hour.

If possible, gently rinse the tooth with saline only—do not scrub or handle the root. Try to carefully place the tooth back into the socket. If that isn’t possible, have your child hold the tooth inside their upper lip to help keep it hydrated while you make your way to our office.

Knowing what to do in those first few minutes can help protect your child’s smile long-term.

A beautiful smile starts with a healthy foundation.

Our goal with every smile transformation is not only to create something aesthetically beautiful, but also functional, comfortable, and built for long-term oral health. That’s exactly what we achieved with this patient’s smile—enhancing confidence while improving overall function and health at the same time.

We love seeing transformations like this that truly change the way our patients feel about their smiles.

There’s something incredibly special about seeing a patient fall in love with their smile again.

Helping Juliana rediscover her confidence and feel excited to smile is exactly why we do what we do. A healthy smile can change so much more than appearances—it can transform the way you feel about yourself every single day.

Seeing her walk out of our office smiling ear to ear was the best reminder that dentistry is about more than teeth. It’s about confidence, happiness, and helping people become the best version of themselves.

Thank you, Juliana, for trusting us with your smile.

In honor of Dental Hygiene Month, we’re sharing some important oral health tips—and starting with one of the biggest myths we hear all the time.

Yes, sugar can contribute to cavities, but it’s not quite that simple. Cavities are often more connected to how often you snack, frequent acid attacks on the teeth, dry mouth, and skipping daily habits like flossing. Even foods that don’t seem sugary can break down into sugars that bacteria feed on throughout the day.

The good news? Small habits can make a big difference. Staying hydrated, flossing consistently, limiting constant snacking, and rinsing with water after eating all help protect your smile and keep your teeth healthier long-term.

A healthy smile starts with understanding how to care for it properly.

Last week, the Wolken Family Dental team traded the office for the Mississippi River and spent the day canoeing together—and it could not have been more perfect ☀️🛶

Between the laughs, the beautiful weather, and getting to see the Gateway Arch from such a unique perspective, it was such a fun reminder of how important it is to spend time together outside of work too.

Safe to say… this just might need to become an annual team outing!

This month, we’re celebrating the incredible dental hygienists who help keep our patients smiling every single day .

From providing exceptional care and education to creating a comfortable, welcoming experience for every patient, our hygienists play such an important role in what we do. Their compassion, attention to detail, and dedication to oral health never go unnoticed.

We are so grateful for everything they do for our patients and our team—thank you for making such a difference every day.

A subtle change can make the biggest difference.

With just 4 custom veneers on the top teeth, we were able to create a brighter, more symmetrical, and naturally balanced smile that perfectly complemented our patient’s features. The goal was never to create a smile that looked “done” — it was to enhance what was already there while improving shape, proportion, and overall harmony.

One of the biggest misconceptions about veneers is that they have to look overly white or unnatural. When designed properly, veneers can be incredibly conservative, customized, and seamless. Every detail — from shape to shade — is carefully selected to fit the patient, not the other way around.

Seeing our patient over the moon with their results is why we love what we do.

Thinking about transforming your smile? Let’s talk about what’s possible.

Meet Taylor!

Taylor joined our team a couple months ago as one of our dental assistants, and she’s fit right in with the welcoming, family-like atmosphere here at Wolken Family Dental. Patients love her kind personality, and we love the positive energy she brings to the office every day!

When she’s not at the office, you can find her outdoors hiking, swimming, spending time with her son, or hanging out with her cat, Pickles.

We’re so lucky to have Taylor as part of the team! Be sure to say hi next time you see her around the office.
