Lancaster Dental Associates

What Lancaster Dental Associates does

Lancaster Dental Associates is a privately-held family dental practice operating two clinical offices in Southwest Wisconsin: the Lancaster headquarters at 237 W. Hickory St. and the Fennimore Smiles of LDA location at 1515 Lafollette St. in Fennimore. Founded according to firmographic records in 1959 (with the practice website copyright dating to 2008, indicating a likely re-establishment or reorganization in that year), the firm serves individual patients and families across the full lifecycle of dental care, including preventive dentistry, cosmetic procedures, orthodontics, restorative work, pediatric dentistry, endodontics, extractions, and therapeutic Botox/Xeomin injections for TMD and bruxism.

The practice's principal technical differentiator is the CEREC Omnicam CAD/CAM system, which enables same-visit ceramic crown, veneer, and onlay fabrication by capturing optical impressions, designing the restoration in software, and milling it on-site within approximately one to two hours. Additional technology infrastructure consists of digital imaging and standard electronic dental practice management software. The service portfolio also includes ClearCorrect clear aligner orthodontics and custom TMD/grinding appliances.

Lancaster Dental Associates operates a direct-to-consumer, fee-for-service revenue model, billed primarily through patient payments at the time of service and insurance claims submitted on the patient's behalf. The practice is in-network with Delta Dental Premier and out-of-network with all other carriers, with 30-day payment terms after insurance adjudication. Pricing flexibility includes a 5% cash/check discount for same-day full payment, a 50% down-payment requirement for treatment plans, and CareCredit third-party healthcare financing. The firm is owned and operated by four practicing dentists (Dr. Pete Hoffman, Dr. Ashton Wickwire, Dr. Christi Larson, Dr. Adam Keenan) and approximately 20-25 total staff, with no evidence of external private equity or venture backing.
