Dental Associates Ltd

Dental Associates offers bountiful career opportunities thanks to our continued growth and ongoing success. With over a dozen locations in Eastern Wisconsin, we are Wisconsin’s largest, most respected family-owned dental group and are proud to serve thousands of residents of all ages. We provide complete family dentistry and offer much more than just general services; our clinics feature general dentistry as well as all dental specialties such as pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry. This allows our patients to visit the same facility for all their dental needs. For you, it means career opportunities that extend from Green Bay in the north, through metropolitan Milwaukee and down to Kenosha near the Illinois border. We are owned by a dentist, not a corporation, so we have a strong sense of family that you will feel throughout each of our clinics. Our owner, Dr. Thomas Manos, believes that our clinic teams provide the very best and most complete dental care to patients in the entire state. His vision of providing quality and affordable dental care to Wisconsin residents is reflected in our practice model, and is an extension of the work his uncle started when he opened our very first clinic in 1974.
