Dr. Mark G. Fohey

Dr. Jessica A. Wilke
Our friendly competent staff is dedicated to patient comfort & quality care.  For decades, our dentists and staff have been delivering very gentle, family-oriented dental care to the adults and children of this community. We have many loyal patients who've been with us for generations.

Thanks to our patients, we've grown our business & have built a brand new medical office facility in Monona.  It's conveniently located due west of MFL MarMac's athletic fields, next door to the Family Aquatic Center, & right off of Highway 18/52 at 602 Tower St.  We moved in April 1, 2017 & welcome you to visit us soon at our new location!
In 2015, Family Dentistry celebrated 30 years in business providing dental care to Monona and the surrounding community.  And to thank the community for its support over the past three decades, the doctors and team provided 30 RAK ("random acts of kindness") to various individuals, groups, and businesses.

Surpassing OSHA requirements, we employ only the very best in equipment sterilization techniques available to dentists through our modern sterilization system.  We are so proud that our office fully utilizes the latest in dental technology and equipment and state-of-the-art treatment options.  The source of water for our dental units is distilled water (bottled water), which removes any chance of contamination from regular tap water like that used in most dental offices.

JUST FOR KIDS!  Our dental team strives to make your child's dental visit easy and comfortable.  After each dental hygiene visit, children take home their goody bag filled with dental supplies to keep up with their oral hygiene.  We also offer special, fun activities like:

  • Tooth Fairy Drawing (every month) – We make it fun at Family Dentistry Associates of Monona with a monthly drawing for our patients 12 years and younger who have cavity free check-ups.  Stay cavity free by using our brushing chart to become eligible for this monthly drawing.
  • Celebrating Children’s Dental Health (each February) by the doctors and staff visiting area schools and educating our young patients the importance of taking care of their teeth. “Choppers” and “Flossy” like to tag along to the visits as well and bring many smiles to our elementary kids.
  • Summer Bike Giveaway (each June) – Kids age 12 and under may register to win a bike and safety helmet after their dental check up during the month of June (winner announced in July).
  • Back to School Book Bag Promotion (each July) – The doctors and staff enjoy helping our local students get ready to hit the books with our back to school promotion by having a drawing for multiple book bags to be given away.  Each book bag is filled with school supplies and children are eligible for the drawing after their dental check up.
  • Visit our Pumpkim Patch (each October) – Kids age 12 and under may pick out their favorite pumpkin after their dental check up.  In 2015 we collected about 24 pounds of candy which was distributed to U. S. armed forces men and women deployed overseas through Operation Gratitude.

​In addition to general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry, we are certified in Invisalign -- the clear alternative to braces.  Please set up your first consultation appointment that will be AT NO CHARGE FOR YOU!

​We also refer our patients when needed to Periodontics (gum diseases), Implant Dentistry, and Endodontics (root canal treatments), as well as other specialists.  Our team emphasizes comprehensive quality care and preventive dentistry.

Free dental care offered by local dentists during 27th annual "Have a Heart" Day
 
For the past 27 consecutive years the doctors & staff of Waukon Dental & Family Dentistry Associates of Monona (past 23 years at Dental Associates of Prairie du Chien) have been hosting their annual "Have a Heart" Day to provide free dental care to area youth most in need. Area residents are encouraged to participate in this year's "Have a Heart" Day set for Sat., Feb. 11.

​This event is scheduled during the Valentine's season as a community service project to provide services to those in need. The local healthcare providers appreciate the strong support they receive, so, in turn, the doctors look forward to this event each year.
Since the event started in 1991, it has grown to include several towns and businesses. The community effort is a source of pride for the doctors and the surrounding area residents. Children ages four through 18 seeking appointments could receive a complete dental examination, consultation, necessary x-rays, sealants, emergency dental care or a needed filling at no charge.

The goal is to provide services to any interested parties who have not sought recent dental care for whatever reason. Local youth are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity or alert others they know who could benefit. Unlike many free healthcare days, no financial proof of need is required. It is hoped to reach those area residents in need that have no other financial support. The dental office provides a festive environment with a Valentine's theme.

​To schedule an appointment, call the closest dental office: Waukon Dental at 563-568-4528, Family Dentistry Associates of Monona at 563-539-4651, or Dental Associates of Prairie du Chien, P.C. at 608-326-6886.

"We look forward to providing dental services to the area communities. We have five doctors plus many of our dental team members working this day so that we can see more people on our annual Have a Heart Day. We encourage to call in advance to schedule your appointments." says Dr. Mark Fohey.

Our goal is to improve our community's health & to treat USA troops serving overseas.

​Each day, our doctors appreciate & encourage our staff; in turn, our staff appreciates & cares about our patients' well-being.

Our regular hours of operation are:
Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., ​with Saturday appointments available.
Please give us a call at
(563) 539-4651 or email us.

We look forward to welcoming you & your family to our dental family.
