About Dr. Therese Pickart

I am a general dentist and owner of Pickart Family Dentistry, S.C., a dental clinic located in Wauwatosa for the past 20 years. I grew up in Wauwatosa and am active in community affairs.

I've always been interested in providing dental care for patients of all ages. My specialties are oral exams, dental fillings, crowns, restorative dentistry, and teeth whitening. I'm known for my gentle approach, which involves listening to my patients and then providing caring, comfortable treatment. Over the past two decades, the science of dentistry has evolved and I have responded by adopting new technologies and solutions to facilitate patient care. 

Many of my patients live in Wauwatosa, Brookfield, New Berlin, Elm Grove and West Allis, Wisconsin. I believe an important part of my responsibility to them involves patient education, so I conduct regular oral hygiene shows with my sidekick "Mr. Molar" for area children in schools and at the Betty Brinn Children's Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
